No room/need for it except for wood removal this morning.

 

And yes, Rob has pushed for intercoms and we have them now, and they’re brilliant, I was sold on them within minutes.

No angry shouting over chippers and saws. 
Not just on climbing work, reversing vehicles, pulling trees over, the lot.

id say that intercoms are hands down the best purchase a tree outfit can buy, they make the day much easier, safer and more fun.

No talking behind bosses back.

Selective oak felling in a woodland today.

Stump on this one was left high initially because of burr and a big cavity.

I realised today it gives me a chance to shout abuse more effectively in the ear of my nephew over the sound of machinery, so that’s a plus.

That’s not Duchy is it? is she still with us?

[Mark Bolam]

No mate, lost Dutchie the year before last.

That’s Nellie, who Dutchie did get to meet for a few months.

Black lab is Polly who is only 1.

 

Cocker is Hooper, Danny Mac’s dog.

 

To say they had an enjoyable day would be an understatement!

[Mark Bolam]

They are good pals.

 

Here is Hooper at 5 months -

 

 

[Mick Dempsey]

Yeah, they let you down all the time.

 

(Don’t ask why I keep pictures of my dog trying to have Ugandan affairs with an unsuspecting Border Collie on my iPad)

Absolute pain in the arse job taking down this partially uprooted tpo’d Sweet Chestnut on a bank, had taken a battering in the recent winds and the bank was like mush. Had to lower everything off of the adjacent tree to stop things getting a roll on down the bank into the garden/house. Couldn’t really remove anything off of the tree with the rigging system in so everything that could hang up did and was a pain for the groundie on the bank. Still at least it wasn’t raining for once!
