Just had a letter from Halifax dropping my credit card limit by a whopping 6k. I have a good credit rating, so no real reason for this. Anyone else had similar out of the blue?

I had a preorder on the electric mustang but cancelled it. Didn’t really need it so didn’t see the sense spending that kinda money at the moment. Plus I suspect there may well be some good deals around next year. Funny what you said about the Kia dealer. We went to look at one also and it was the dealer that put us off. I had done a fair amount of research before hand and seemed to know far more than them at their own motor

The inevitable tree too close to house on clay soil question
Steve Bullman replied to BellaB's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I think the old staged reduction thing is 20 year old science now, things have moved on I believe. Not sure what the latest 'expert' opinion is. Personally the logic behind the tree throwing out more roots to make up for all the panic growth it will put on after a reduction makes perfect sense to me. -
In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

Concerned about your bucket list mate. I fear you may be missing out on a few things -
I wouldn’t be calling and asking for it free either. Putting your name on the tip site directory and waiting to be called and offered it is one thing. Asking for it is a bit on the rude side.
-
Yep it is and always was Arbsafe. I very much doubt insurance companies would accept it as proof of ownership though.
-
Specs the spec. It could have been done with more care to the aesthetics, would it have changed anything regards the trees response to the pruning? Probably not

Can this tree be saved after severe intentional damage?
Steve Bullman replied to Amy Foot's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Those new shoots are panic growth. the reason it’s better to remove it now is because the longer you leave it the more brittle it will become and the more likely to fail and yes, there’s no hope for the tree, sorry! -
Nope, could make that happen but people rarely name their files, specially from mobiles. I might go through and manually add some alt tags in the next round of seo
-
Nope I left that out, didn’t feel it was that necessary?
-
Still nothing through the directory?

The tree would probably take it, set the sling right at the base. The issue is the height of the stump you’re trying to pull out. You’d typically want the stump to be 3-4 ft high so you’d get some leverage with the winch. its not impossible. I just think by the time you have excavated enough of the stump and axes through the roots you’d probably be already there anyway
-
You have little to no chance of pulling that stump out. It would involve a massive amount of excavating and even then you have no height on the stump to get any sort of leverage. Can’t you get a stump grinder in?

Take a look at the special offer i'm running this month for sawmillers Tippin
-
I don't own the kit, I just carry out the tests for the company.
-
I'd pretty much made my assessment within the first couple of minutes of seeing the tree to be honest, didn't like it one bit. The Picus only backed that up in this case.
-
Or I could be kevinjohnsonmbe all this time and am now trying to divert growing suspicion away from the fact
-
Been having a play with the 3D feature on the Picus software, pretty cool. This large Beech tree had multiple Ganoderma brackets, the most concerning being in the first union. 3 separate measurements were taken for the model. And a view from the opposite side

Will my apple tree die if i lay artificial turf on top?
Steve Bullman replied to asif's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
If you’re using a good quality product it should be permeable -
No. But please video and share it if you do!
-
Probabaly a good call, only ever associate that with Ash and Plane usually. How does it affect Walnut? Largely irrelevant as its going to have to come down due to the Ganoderma at the base anyway

What came first, chicken or the egg?

@David Humphries would be the man to answer that one
