the 'todays job' thread

[Ian Flatters]

hopefully this will load here or via the link. Now this is the closest ive ever accidentally left something to a fell.

 

it wasnt until it started to come over we realized but at that point its all about fate.

Oh and some pics of the job. An avenue of cedars planted in 1902 as part of the hospital entrance. The trees were about 12 years old when planted according to some of the old boys working there.

 

Timber has been cut to 10ft lengths for the lorry to hiab out on Saturday

You've had some nice jobs to kick start the year Ian, hope it continues for you. Close shave with the camera.

This makes up for that tedious beech take down at the end of the year

[Mark Bolam]

Good stuff Ian.

The near Go-Pro death was great!

 

Back to it today with this oak that lost about a third of its crown last year. Beside an access road and a public footpath, so client (very, very rich, but a decent bloke) was keen for it to be made safe.

We went for a monolith/Stevie Blair pollard as it's about 7' at the base, twisted, and split right to the ground.

It's not finished by the way.

Hahaha, a lot would of felled it for firewood without a thought of retention.

Let me guess, up to 2" dia logged up?

 

Fun looking job, though the novelty soon wears off with a big saw on spikes

 

Any targets?

[Mark Bolam]

We could chip what we wanted Joe, he's keeping the chip as well.

All cord busted into one man lifts, his gardening team are shifting it.

 

Pretty target free, just had to mind a sunken wall and an adjacent oak, there were some big heavy laterals, but nothing needed rigging.
