  4. yup, it grew that way. Roots were going to be an issue, due to upcoming work on the house. 50% of the root plate would have to be severed so down she came
  5. Here's some of a leaning euc from yesterday

  12. Sticking a running chainsaw in my arm 60ft up a Sycamore tree. Doh!
  13. it's where you draw the line. Sometimes i'll just shut up and do the job. Othertimes i'll walk away. It depends alot on species. P.S. You do have a very fine womanly arse Matt lol
  14. Lucky boy Matt! Good on you for making what is always a hard decision. Did you forward a copy of the letter to the T/O? Might be an idea so to catch the next lopper who quotes for the job
  15. nice work tim. I don't like reductions much. Hard and difficult climbing usually. The wallnut looks like it has been pruned before?

  17. It's when the metal of the blades get as hard as you say that the risk of cracking/fracturing increases massively

  22. same as, certificates
  23. I'm in the position of loosing my groundy in the next few weeks. As much as i hate it, i'm thinking about training someone up (again!), as opposed to hiring trained staff. What do others do; trained or untrained? and what do you see as the benifits of both
  24. Looks like i'm not replacing my card!!!!!! ouch!
  25. Are you wanting generic assesments, or something more specific?
