Thanks Don.  Got the oak down in three days, it was well priced so not rushed and enjoyable, which makes a change.

There were a couple of large cherries to remove also, so we were there all week, spent half a day putting all the steel edgings and fiddly ground lights back into position!

The main house was/is suffering the effects of vegetation related subsidence, so i'm told.

Cheers Mick.  Heaviest bit I've rigged, at least that low to the ground, and near a building.  Looking now I can see it shifted the bollard.  We used the avant the pull the slack out of the rigging lines, and also used it to pull the lump off and limit it's swing in descent.

Sounds like a nice few days it's a refreshing change when one has ample time to enjoy the job in hand
