    The issue of the "climber on the ground" is the point where my respect for the system falls apart. The cost of compliance would put most companies out of the picture and i'm not writing a risk asessment for running a chipper whilst wearing a harness!!!!

    Do you think it would have held on the stump longer if you had retained all the buttress roots?

    Nice Carl. Big tree and brown trousers in the same day

    For what it was worth I did report it. However they were unable to send anyone from Leeds (approx 20 miles along the M62) within the hour or so I expected them to finish there work. They were happy for me to get the homeowners and workers details for them though......... For those who have an issue with such things being reported; if you do not- DON'T YOU DARE COMPLAIN!

    This guy has got the HSE sussed.................

    Increasing and tightening legislation without enforcement ( unless it is post accident or incident ) is a sure way to loose respect from the industry, as well as kill off compliant but marginally profitable companies. You hit the nail on the head Iain

    A little too steep for me

    Good point Paul. However it has been a while since i have seen the proliferation of self-seeed sycamores i remember over a decade ago. Anyone else notice this?

    As has been said- if natrural crotch is used then the force is into the stem, as opposed to a block which is hanging from it, hence loading as opposed to disapaiting the force through it. Spydie has the answers http://www.mytreelessons.com/Pages/Tensionless_Anchors.htm

    Be nice if Graeme or Angus could post it. A great method of felling for special circumstances, tree and skill levels permitting

    It was Graeme McMahon- in southern OZ. Here is a pic i pinched from a TBuzz thread on it

    Did recieve either written instruction, comformation of works or quotation from the occupier of the property?

    What about the side-loading if the two points are not in line?

    It sometimes takes such an irrational response to make you study your actions, realise that you are in the right and feel comfortable that the world is mad, and you are it's last hope for sanity p.s. I recon the lady complainant get's out a little more:001_tongue:
  17. Pete Mctree
    Yup - locked box or they are fair game:001_cool:
  18. Pete Mctree
    Wish i'd not asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope that grease gun is full of KY if it's a suppository:scared1:

    Interesting thread, guess I should thank a few people; 18 stoner for allowing the theft of his stale bread and cheese butty - the peparami was cool though. For letting me swan around in a nice easy tree and for persuading the customer to make coffee constantly For all those climbers in East yorkshire for being suitably inept so i could get the work:001_tongue: And last but not least all those members here on ArbTalk who have been so complimentary about me Laters dudes:001_cool:

    http://www.aie.org.uk/ This is a good place to start........

    Good luck. Be methodical and measured. You have the rest of your career to hurl yourself around a tree!

    I have looked over it briefly and am impressed with the comprehensive and thorough nature of it. My BIG question is, that it being a HSE publication, does this document now become "BEST PRACTICE" for the industry and how will it's findings effect us in our working day?

    Thought you had been sniffing wine gums mate:001_tongue:

    Your nearly as twisted as Huskyboy:001_tongue:
