Tales of the unexpected.

I saw a 90 year old woman naked though a window a while back!!!!!!!!:scared1:

 

I dont think I would want to admit to that

Same with washing line poles and solar lights. Always stick a bit of brash in or you'll never find the hole again.

 

i hate those solar lights, they usually break off at the plasticy bit. or when you move a big pot plant and it falls apart..

Trick is to put a stick in any hole your not using, then you can find it when the lights fading

When knocking the top out off a tree, don't just look down at the drop zone to see if it will fit.

 

Look up at the other trees around you (if there are any), when I first started out, I felled out a large top off an Ash, if went over a bit then caught on a branch from a taller tree near by.

 

I had to cut through the hinge and push the butt end off, it battered the hell out of me as it passed me.

 

I learnt though, I've never done it since.

If the tree is on a boundary/hedge line expect metal work.

sometimes i will fell the top onto another tree, cut throught he hinge and push it into the gap butt first, this is more of a naughty trick though, and sometimes its worth the ear slapping. lol. if this gets deleted i will understand why

When cutting and chucking long thin branches watch that the stub doesnt spring up at you throwing the saw towards you, cut close to the stem or just be prepared.

Better with a spear cut for that move, IMO ,it saves having to push it

Also expect metal if, you have under priced the job or put on a new chain
