Yep. It was only that one dead thing nestled into the back of a hazel stool that we did like that though (yes, we considered choking the hazel stools too). I'm fully on board with the flying slinger technique. Passes time-and-motion.

 

Spiky solidarity on the monkey puzzle.

"£1000 and I'm going to moan like a bitch all day." is my stock answer.

I took a different tack. "I won't moan about the tree if you don't moan about the phone lines"

 

The manhole cover was just belt and braces to illustrate my point.

The daughter of the client was highly shaggable and very interested in the hero strapped to the tree.

 

Annoyingly both times she visited i was up in the tree so she couldn't witness my debonair personality and rugged good looks. More annoyingly is that I'm in a committed relationship.

 

Life can be unfair sometimes.

That redwood was in the grounds of a fake boobs clinic. But alas, no procession of chesty onlookers. We did it on a Saturday so the crane could block the road that the Range Rover Evoques use.

I'd genuinely rather be on spikes free falling that than clearing the unholy mess on the ground. 

I hear that mate.

I did a dead one once and when I got down my groundie looked like he’d been in a fight with a lion.

Best to crash down and shove out the way with a JCB down a bank!  Felled 5, climbed 2 and chipped 3 and cut up 1 monster wind blow.  Oh and transplanted a 27 footer and never got paid for it!   Just horrendous things!

No no and no. Every time I’ve been asked to prove a monkey puzzle  I pick a (big) number double it, add a 0 then add the last 3 digits of my fone number for good measure. Funny enough I’ve never won the job 👍

Oak reduction today. 

 

Lots of climbing, not the best anchor majority of the top was on a flat line

That looks like a lot of hard work- good job.  Was it decayed or did the customer have the usual obsession with trees being too big and need “controlling” 😆

I have a bloke like that. Everything needs "crowning."
