You upload to youtube takes a good few hours to do, then you just copy and paste the youtube web link into the post u make and it will cone up.

Look forward to seeing them.

I tend to just leave it overnight to do its thing for all mine.

Nice little video that Ali:thumbup1:

 

Did you ring the rest down or rig it mate?

[scotspine1]

nice vid oldmill, you like srt with the base tie off for removals like that? doesn't the downline get in the way? increased risk of hitting it with rigged timber/branches?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Was there not a temptation to ring down with say a 66 and chuck the pieces?

Not criticising you're the man on the job, just asking!

 

I did ring it down from there on because the lumps could have swung around the stem and smashed the wooden building.

No base tie off there mate. That was just the retrieval side of my line dangling freely so it can be thrown out the way.

I only use a base tie for access or if dealing with a couple of branches then coming down again.

How come you back up your bollard ratchet strap with another one of lower rating and not a sling which would self choker?

 

Fair enough, none of the pieces on the vid are going to shift the bollard, but if there was an occasion for it to lift due to a large piece and trunk taper for example, a 1.5 ton blue ratchet strap isn't going to be much use if circumstances have already shifted a 5 ton yellow one.

 

Just an observation.

 

Looked a well planned job.

Good work

Enjoyed that Oldmill, gave a really good taste of what looked like a tricky job.

Very observant of you Big and good comments.

 

The Bollard was cut into the stem and there was no stem taper.

The back up sling I would normally use was a touch too short:blushing:.

The back up ratchet strap was better than nothing and I actually put it on there 'cos I thought you lot would say "Tut-tut, where is your back up strap?"
