Yes to the extra duvets.

12 cans of them.

 

What a dad! I meant for your little 'uns.

Yes mate, decent bags and blankets.

I’m definitely not driving them home now….

Kids are always fine, it's normally the Mrs complaining about the cold in my experience.

Yesterday’s job was a sycamore on a bank beside a moat.

Pretty straightforward apart from the stem logs that we couldn’t drop because of a bridge and uplight at the base, and couldn’t risk them bouncing into the moat.

 

As they got heavier they couldn’t be wrestled into the cage as it sent the weight limit over.

 

Cracked off with a keeper rope, second man bailed out the cage then turned the MEWP into a crane.

Worked really well.

Not massive, about 50kg.

 

Lovely spot.

Why not just fell it back into the banking with a pull rope tied to one of the vehicles and drag it out?

 

Do Von realise now he will have to get extra LOLeR checks done now it has been used as a crane/load handler?

Pristine lawn and ancient paving slabs ruled that out Rich.
