Had this one 2 weeks ago. Bit of a tricky bugger.

1.Root plate still partially attached to the ground.

2.All the weight leaning on the roof making it too risky to start cutting in case it slid down the front of the house.

3. No trees big enough to get a good enough anchor to climb from or winch off etc.

4. No access to the rear of property to get MEWP or machinery in.

Solution, get a big ass crane courtesy of Scottish enterprise who own the woodland.

The crane reached over the house, lifted the tree and sat it back into its hole. I then put a felling cut in the base. We then had the crane lower it down on the woodland side of the fence using the felling cut to steer it in safely.

Not the biggest tree but interesting all the same.

Finally got round to cutting this up. Was a nice little job for a Saturday morning. The 2 bigger bits the customer wanted to make into chopping boards. Brash all stacked to be burned.

First time uploading photos so hope they are there!
