Regardless of self-employment or employee, it's a job you got to do that you otherwise wouldnt have had the chance to do so that's a bonus.

 

I'm not having a go at you in any way at all, but I have learned in this job that sometimes you dont have the opportunity to let feeling, philosophies or morals get in the way... drop the tree, take the money/collect your pay packet. The guy who ring barked it actually did you a favour in a way (depending how you look at it)

 

So, all in all.. another day at the office

 

If i let feelings/phil;osophies get in the way i wouldn't have a job.

Is that like saying arsonists are keeping the firemen boys in work?

 

If you want to look at it in that way then yes.

It does look like a nice view though.

 

Views work both ways.

 

In this case some arrogant buffoon now has a nice view of the river, BUT everyone else out enjoying the river now has a view of his generic 'lifestyle' appartment block.

And really, if the council are supposed to be working for the best interests of the residents, SHOULD THEY???????

 

As above, the council should be balancing the interests of all the residents (as best they can). Not to mention the tourist economy.

Noosa, Queensland.

 

Never forget seeing a HUGE billboard, and I mean HUGE! in front of some dead tree stumps in front of a swanky apartment.

 

It said something like-

 

These trees (x-year old) were illegally poisoned to obtain an ocean view for these recently built apartments. It didn't work.

 

Class, in my opinion.

 

I suggested that when a several hundred years old lime were killed in Stockholm for waterview, brilliant move I think.

 

We had that today where residents in new houses have felled 2o-30 semi mature trees, that were left as natural habitats in a developmentarea. Luckily one of the neighbours, who didnt like the trees to be felled, had a camera....:sneaky2:Well see what the police thinks...

There is a Leyland Cypress at the end of my road which didn't bother me until the Velux's for my loft conversion went on Monday. I can see all down the estruary and accross town but not out to sea. Needless to say the trees days are numbered. Where do I fit in to this?

IMO, it make a BIG difference if you OWN the tree.

 

If you damage or kill a tree that does not belong to you, they should throw the book at you.

I'll be cutting it down for free. The chaps a council tennant and has wanted it down for a long time but can't afford to pay for it.

 

Regardless though I'm still cutting down a healthy tree just for the sake of an ocean view. I feel OK about this as its just a crappy tree, but I wonder how I would feel if it was a nice tree it that spot. Would I offer to fell a nice tree which enhances the look of the whole road just to get my view? I'm not sure.
