Can we not build an Arbtalk-fest round the takedown?

 

Massive day climbing/lowering/dragging/chipping/stacking.

 

Massive p***-up round 60 ton bonfire!

 

Single foreign chicks can help us back to our tents.

 

I'll PM John Hancock to start the method statement and RA.

 

I can do any dates from July onwards.....

i have taken loads of stuff down with an 088 36 inch bar, twice bar size and a lot of boring out in the middle, the 088 wont bat an eye lid as long as it is sharp mate. the hard bit is holding the dam thing up to get a high gub in, especially if it has big buttresses, make the gub oversized so you can get the bar well in to the inside without the engine stopping you.

Also make the cuts with a smaller saw first, then go deeper with the beast, make holding the 088 sooo much easier.
