Just had this call out monster Lime tree uprooted, just cleared the drive way and said we'd be back friday to take her down, as its over top of electric lines so will need the power company on site before we tackle it. My plan of action tractor with 6.5 ton winch, Rope around trunk and pull the hole tree back from the lines.

We have had no power for 20 hours, no land line and vodaphone came back on line 3 hours ago. Im on about my 23rd emergency call and I'm putting them onto other companies. We did a pretty dodgy euc in the wind yesterday which was probably pushing it. Me and my lads have had a very busy end to the year and are all in holiday mode. No amounts of money is getting me back to work before the new year there are so many companies in Surrey customers won't struggle to find some one.

Once it's away from lines and on the strain of the winch, then what?:confused1::biggrin:

 

Once I begin pulling it, it will gracefully fall to the floor, as it is now its just hung up, the root plate is completely rotten.

Gracefully crash through the Conny, fence and shed!:laugh1: It's the only way, :thumbup1:I thought at first of we're aiming to right it with the winch then do something with it:001_huh:

 

Look forward to the pics :thumbup1:

Haha that would be some sight trying to up right it a few straps and as good as new lol. No just pull it down it already snapped the top out of the conifer and should miss the shed its the safest options so im sticking with it. :thumbup:

The money I earn is for my family, all day long.

 

Isn't that the dilemma.

Money for family/ no money for family

I guess the issue is when earning money always comes first even when the family is well catered for financially. It's a juggling act. As a kid I loved having my dad around at christmas mainly because he loved christmas and he was never happier. It's a great 'family' time of year.

Those without families- well they've got New Year:biggrin:

Heres me, one child back from uni with his mates out. The other in Dartford then Leatherhead working on 'emergency' tree jobs. Me on the computer after working all morning on phone calls about fences and trees. Oh well- big night out for all when we come together for bowling with them and friends and a meal so it all works out.

It is a juggling act- just don't start dropping the balls.
