the 'todays job' thread

[Ian Flatters]

Got the tree commander system fitted today. Can not wait for this week to be over as we had the diff blow in the canter Monday (now fixed) followed by the land rovers light switch breaking and then the fuel pump wire break on the new canter. On the plus side I think that’s all my bad luck sorted out for the rest of the year.

Not today but we removed this lime Tuesday.

Which is what exactly?

[treevolution]

I have done this tree 4 times over the years.

 

First time stayed up the tree and finish by lunch.

 

This time had two breaks and took till 2.30pm.

 

No matter how you keep in shape you do start to slow with age.

 

Next time I'm doing it with another climber.

You've done a nice job of it.  How often do they have it done?

Ever four years.

 

Had a full load of wood chip from the job which took me by surprise.

 

It's definitely is a two climber tree.

It would take less then half the time.

[emoji23][emoji23] good point.

It means you can run the chipper from the skid steer or digger cab. Doesn’t work on the tv though.

But you can see what the buttons are for. Total equipment shutdown. Forward (which now sets off an audible horn to tell you, I didn’t even know it had a horn in it) stop rollers and reverse.

Nice work, but sooner rather than later that tree is coming out, you just can’t contain them.

The client was talking about taking down the tree in the next few years due to subsidence in the house.

 

Structural engineer has recommended that it be taken down in stages as not to change the water table and cause further complications to the building.

 

Has anyone find this to be true?

Put  ‘heave’ in the search facility on here, lots of info.

 

Soil type is key it seems.
