And modest to boot. I reckon you're quietly a pretty good climber from what I've seen on here.

Best make sure you wear your "special occasion panties" to the next APF in case you bump into him, if you'll pardon the pun.

Oh give up, you bellend. A fellow can say something nice without wanting to hold his hand.

Very decent size oak to take down.

Nice short butt, saw just a tiny bit short too.

I know and agree. Doesn't mean I can't make a joke about you fancying him though.

Well spotted, 572, maybe just long enough, but I bolloxed it up coming in from the shed side.

Had fibre pull out of the felled butt, which would likely have got me  told off if I was a commercial faller.

If you were a commercial feller the cut would have been at ground level and the butt a bit longer.

Have we got a "trees eating things" thread? I had a quick look, couldn't find anything. 

 

 

Took the tops off two sycamorewhile the fellas chipped, ringed, and split a windblown multistem cyprus, a day and a half. Then went for a drive over the hill to find some windblown spruce and birch. Just rings, no chips or splits.

New jeep is earning her keep.

Another lime re-pollarded today and ash reduced and dead wood removed. 

Drop zone small.

Spruce dismantle to make way for a new carport and garage.  We also planked an old Oak that had to be felled when the property burnt down last year:

 

Nice day for it.

First proper hedge job with the Makita UH006, very very pleased with this hedger, its very light. Used one small 2.5Ah battery. 

Privet, she wanted it reduced hard as it was taller than her, and thined in width, so the brown was unavoidable - it'll grow back. Removed the dead stem.

However I did hit the metal gate post and put a tiny ding on the new blade 😭

 

Pebble gardens are a real pain to clear up if you forget the leaf blower! I dont usually take my own as the other guys will have one. Going back to blow it.

 

Then an oak stump to cut up. The pictures I saw made it look small but this was big, over a meter dia at base and several meters long.

Im told it blew down in december, so as far as windblown go, quite disapointing, no tension left and the rootplate just sat there. 

Oct it looked like this on streetview. Ivy covered, pollarded monster.
