  21. yeah i was bricking it,first to admit it.the reason the tree was coming down was that it was sheding limbs.parts of it were unclimbable and unfortunately all of these sections needed to be rigged down to avoid demolishing the shed ,fence, pristine hedge and garage underneath it
  22. i hate to think the extra weight added by ivy sometimes,last ivy removeal job was nearly a full truck load of chippings.not good
  23. max has hit the nail right on the head,from the ground the structural problems of this tree of this tree could not be seen,ok there was a bit if dead wood, but no more than would be expected from a tree that had been previously cut so badly.
