Not too bad mate. Has developed an oil leak from somewhere, but nothing to worry about just yet! I had her working on this job, and she didn't miss a beat. Just clicked onto 800 hours on the clock.

Some bits and bobs. Working a site which is getting ready to be redeveloped after taking nearly 300t in sweet chestnut and oak stems. Mostly large butt's too. A Saturday reducing 2 oaks sympathetically, planting some trees at a former hospital and basically what I spend most my days doing currently walking around locating trees a third party have surveyed for 2 large councils. Pss live is a terrible system to have to use and one I'd strongly suggest avoiding.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the tools but I took the opportunity to spend a couple of days out with my guys removing a few Ash from a ditch/run off up near Swaffham. I had a such a laugh and it made me miss being on site full time. Great bunch of lads. We only had one small point of access through a neighbouring garden to extract the timber so it was all pretty much rigged out. We covered the ditch with as much brash in case we had to drop any timber straight down, but it all went pretty smoothly. Clean up tomorrow.

Some thought going into that mate.

Nice one.

Something a bit different today! 

 

Birch bundles off to become horse jumps. When I first spoke to the chap doing the job, he said he was hoping for 500-1000 a day. I bawked, but actually I think I moved about 300 perhaps, in a few hours so the initial target is achievable! 

 

Bed extension coming into its own today.

Not something I do very often in Australia but spent most of Tuesday cleaning up an English Oak. I don't have the 'before' picture but the main thing I'm questioning is how bad is it for the tree to clean all the leaf fluff off the branches–especially heading into summer?) 

 

The owner wanted to see clean branches so lots of faffing with the silky.

A bit odd to do your best to make an oak tree look like a gum tree, especially when the first thing the tree will do is to try and grow the "fluff" back again.

Customer is always right of course.

Bit of a ‘clean out’ there, my old boss would say (if I overdid it) that it looks like gutted heron.

 

Not one for the purists, but you did what you were asked and got paid, good job.
