    I agree. You have my condolences on your impotence too:scared1:

    A couple of cans of guinness seems to get rid of mine

    No disagreement here. I inform the client of the consequences to the best of my ability, and then go to work
  5. Pete Mctree
    Agreed- I am critical of the specs, not of the professional display of climbing and pruning.

    To reduce an oak in that manner is practically topping. I'd rather see it hit much harder- leaving a strong scafold framework, then allow it to regenerate. stripping the crown off is only gonna increase mass and wind loading with the dense regrowth. counterproductive

    Should have said they made you sign the contracts under duress, as you feared for your job

    Fair point Lee, as long as you don't complain about the standards of people entering the industry that is. As for training a sparky, would you let one with a couple of weeks training re-wire your house?

    And what's your excuse Dave?

    I'll not disagree ALF

    Very difficult to make stick legally, and not that sound ethically

    Looks great Log. Save a bit harder and you might be able to afford a 4th wheel for the tractor Might even be able to use it then!

    Often happened when you tightened them after you had loaded them. I don't miss them

    sometimes i think that the better you treat your staff, the more they take the piss. sorry, but experiance has made me a little cynical

    Either get a grinder (easier but no quicker) or by hand.unfortunatley no shortcut.

    Well filmed as usual reg. It's nice to see a theoretical solution, to a difficult problem being turned into a practical solution. Takes balls and brains, great inovative rigging

    It's not about what they CAN'T do, it's about what they CAN. Always take the positives?

    Slip and swing into a peg- damaged spine, bust a few ribs or just a simple impalement? Why take the chance?
