Unusual or Off the Wall Tree Work

[Andy Collins]

Listening to a couple of old boys rambling on the other day ab the kind of requests the got from customers during their line of works, it made me wonder... Have you been asked and done unusual or completely different to the normal "day job"?

for example, a friend of mine was contracted to cut down a 200ft radio mast , sectionally dismantle with a disc cutter instead of a chainsaw. Not really so different after all, but unusual all the same.

A friend of mine did some abseiling down a rock face and used a kango hammer to knock off any loose rocks above a railway. He said it was good fun.

 

I think he was getting paid, it wasn't just for the hell of it. He's not a terrorist.

What was the wooden ring for?

[mattinman1990]

It was a monument to Robert the Bruce I believe it was a camp before the battle of bannockburn in 1314. They have got the 700 year anniversary coming up so are rebuilding the monument. It was about 70-80ft across laminated Douglas fir. We did a lot of tree work there and they didn't know who else to call

I had to deadwood an ancient wysteri on the upper east side of manhattan, I had to abseil off the roof of the multi million $$ house, and swung in through a window when I was done. Don't do that everyday!
