That was a big issue, and moving the truck and chipper a lot to keep the tree reasonably balanced.

SRT'd the whole thing because there was a fair bit of reascending.

 

I am happy to say the new CT foot ascender was a joy, not a single kick out all day. Sits really well over my Geckos too.

Frosty morning, dead still, perfect.

 

Rest of the tree came down quickly, second pic is the work of art.

 

Three truck loads of dust and rakings, and a decent cord stash for the happy client.

Horse Chestnut dismantle on the edge of a Lama, goat, sheep, cockerel and other animal enclosures.

 

Rigged about 3/4s of the tree due the enclosures fencing. Climbed on the Bulldog dogbone all day. Sadly no before pic but here's how we left it. Back tomorrow to finish off.

 

Windy as hell on top of the hill in London!

Not today's but yesterday's job. A Beech in Lyme Regis that had been pollarded many moons ago. Beautiful views once the sun eventually came out.

Had a more relaxed day. I took some time to give the newest team a bit of an assessment to see how she's coming on. A few little bits on positioning but coming on well. Anyway here's the pics.

Yesterday's little reduction, not brilliant but a compromise between what I thought and what the client asked for which was another 8ft lower.

And today storm damaged!

Back to the cedar next week to chip up and possibly mill some of the timber.

Just got back from another little highways call out with a rather charming wpcso, sorry no pictures.
