Little pop to reduce this morning in the very heavy rain

Tricky to tell with the angle, but you look awfully close to going over a 33% reduction there...

I'm in the UK for a week doing a few garden tidy jobs for my folks. I flew over Ryanair, so I didn't bring a single thing with me. They've got a few tools available, but no saw, so they asked the fella across the road if I could borrow his for a couple of days...

 

He brought it round earlier, and after a few minutes of jiggery pokery we got it working... I've never used a 171 before, and I've only just spotted the plastic dogs...

 

 

That is absolutely f*cking adorable!  😹

I'm all for cleaning as you go, but is the fella with the blower not jumping the gun just a little bit?

not really, everything that side of the path was finished so just clearing back to the path. less blowing then needed when everything else is finished. i took that video at 15.09 and we were done with timber loaded, chipped up and final tidy by 16.30.

 

id rather people were doing things than standing idle

Decent will down and gone.

This one’s from January. But just found it on the phone. 
laurel hedge to bring back to normal. 
Used the fixed grab to hold the stems while we cut them, then laid them on rows, switched to the rotator to get them to the chipper. 
Went well.
