The lads carrying out a reduction on this tpod horse chestnut. Didn't get a picture of the hollow but it had a couple of roots growing inside. Also a slightly random thing in a Norfolk garden. 2 Japanese fire engines.

A few from today. A heavy reduction of an oak as the one behind it fell down and its a very windy area near boathouses and a fancy pub. The rest of us went and cleared some trees from some powerlines.

Josh climbed the oak. I was on the powerlines job.

Easy day. 

Utility gang reduced beech down below wires so trunk could be dropped. 

Took me over an hour to foot it up to fell it as low as possible to keep stump grinding cost down. Then moved timber back to owners farm.

Hey mate, how’s it going.

No pictures of today because I don't want to be the twat with a gopro on his lid on his first day in a new job, but I had a fun half day dismantling a manky old ash so the boss could see if I was physically capable yet. Most of my aches and pains held together fairly well, I could even throw a tophandle around with my (previously broken) left hand quite a bit (not that you'd use a tophandle one-handed, or anything...)

He's only got a 2-man job tomorrow, but he wants me in on Wednesday for a job that needs 2 climbers, so I can't have annoyed him too much today. Which is good to know. Hopefully if I don't kill anyone on Wednesday I'll know if there's any full-time hours going in the future, or if I'll have to go back to sucking off truck drivers at Gloucester Services.

 

Unfortunately I did trim the nose off a plastic wedge. But he had it coming anyway.

 

Anyway, cheers for all the support on here, you guys are rad.

Working at the most impressive place I've ever worked. Removing a single poplar near the road. Nothing strenuous for a Monday.
