the 'todays job' thread

So today I got to revisit an old friend:

 

 

My first encounter was a year ago when I damn near cut through her in a cavity in the underside of an ash branch in a nature reserve. Must've missed her by less than an inch. She flew off straight away and I rigged and screwed the branch back into place with para cord and my fence mending kit.

 

Came back with a mewp today to carry on monolithing the ash which was over the main pedestrian entrance to the reserve and to my surprise she'd returned to her roost!

 

Must've done a pretty decent job reinstating the habitat. A further stay of execution for the tree.

That's very cool to see! 👍

River work today, first little job was a familiar bridge with flood debris to clear. Amazed how that rootball managed to find its way into the bridge structure, took some careful cutting to get it out. 4th pic reminds me of Rich Rule holding Kira the pup!

Second job was a landslide to clear, someone was very pleased to ride the crane over!

New method of dismantling I saw today, not sure it will catch on though.

Who doesn’t love a lime repollard on a sunny day?

Do the limes tend to send up a myriad of root suckers after they have been pollarded Mick? 

 

We have a sizeable lime in our garden which should really come down but, if possible, I would like to keep.  Suspect it is too far gone to pollard.
