    Tight quaters for sure. Bob blocked the stem down into a miniscule drop zone i lost the t shirt shortly after that pic- i hate climbing in short sleeves

    todays td ash in a grave yard. Good but hard day, working with grumpy bob and his even grumpier groundie! (better not have taught my groundie and bad habits!!!! ) Loads of targets but smooth job

    Pantin on the right foot- always a way:001_smile:

    I would have done similar, as the introduction of rot into the base/rootball of the tree would bring down a rapid demise, the consequences of which in such a cramped enviroment could be dire. I would recomend the monitoring of the stem also I would have taken it to a bit above head height though, to allow easy managment of the re-growth and allow more light into the garden (which is usually an issue for most home owners).

    I pay £60 per day for a subbie groundie with all his tickets including rescue. He's young but able and i think for a beginner it's fair. Another more experianced guy i pay £90. Both on the money for this area

    i'd drive up to your place anyday to watch you tell you crew they are having to pay you for the priveledge
  7. Pete Mctree
    I would. I'm not saying deffinatley though, as the assesment for me is tactile and visual

    Nah just shoot the bloke who will not cut enough of them off to keep the customer satisfied

    Always say that to start with

    Dean can afford to drop them!

    An 80ft tree and you can't find anywhere to tie in? I'd feel naked at suck heights without a harness and a body strop, however the cutting is realistic, with a liberal application of silky work for me
  12. Pete Mctree
    Yours can tie knots!!!!! If mine could do that they would be asking for at least £30 a day

    It's only upright because it's lent into the crown of the tree:001_tongue:
  14. Pete Mctree
    Please tell me that's photo shopped:scared1:

    I'll be still working with trees no doubt- where I have no idea. That will be the adventure
  16. Pete Mctree
    I usually do that by doing my boots up:001_tongue:

    The formula for our northern gatherings is simple. Location with lots of trees, BBQ, brews and plenty of good company. Keep it simple and get it together- A fun day WILL be had:001_cool:

    How the old guy's taught me. Plus it's quicker to dress the stem once it's felled
  24. Pete Mctree
    I agree- when felling for timber the flare is never removed. This also has the advantage of preserving the stem if the stem twists as the fibres will pull downwards into the roots. Nice tidy felling cuts:thumbup1:

    Surley the point of risk assesments etc are to assess risk and develop a strategy to effectivley reduce and manage it. For instance on a prune or dismantle I wear type A trousers, however i often wear type C's when working in hedges and have the risk assesments accordingly. In my eye's it's the managment of risk that is the critical issue
