  1. my blackberry is pretty good, got an otterbox on recomendation from andy and its pretty bomb proof
  2. im doubting myself now:sneaky2: its well dead i was wondering what the stuff 8-10 metres up was as well its definately oak
  3. yes i think it is mate, the oaks are part olf an old plantation just up the road from bucklers hard(old ship building place) i think it is the old money fungus at work,but i suspect theres others working on this but as well. not sure what the white marks are really, it apears to be some sort of fungi growing in the tunnels left by boring insects
  4. wind blowing wrong way, fence in way thank god for a truck and a hammer [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjfoOuNMD4g]YouTube - SSL21244.AVI[/ame]
  5. close enough for it to be a little bit time consuming, but far enough away for it to not be to much of a problem, if the cable wasnt there id contemplate spiking up and knocking those limbs off
  6. its my job, been working on and off on this site for about a year now. the oak in my avatar is from the same site
  7. oak tree i looked at on friday, its in a conservation area so il have to put in a 6 day notification to fell as its DDD. just thought id share the photos. the area under the oak is going to be use for gardeners sheds etc, customers are toying with the idea of getting the stem milled.its got a dbh of 670mm. il be getting a platform in
  8. heavy deadwood and reduction to bring in line with lower canopy, the tree has its feet on the edge of a reed bed on a tidal river(beaulieu river) its obviously doesnt like the salt and is in decline, the movement of the crown felt quite weird when climbing it
  9. i always put on my quotes that the quote is subject to the site conditions on the day of viewing, also i tend to say that the quote is valid for 28 days
  10. i think mine is dec2003 and weighs 687kg, but i have just got back from the pub so might be making that up
  11. haha went to a gig last night and im spending today on the sofa bailed on the stunt fell, it just wasnt going to fit

  13. lengthwise it should be ok:thumbup1:, the stumps being left at 3-4ft for a bird table, its more the width of the crown im worried about
  14. quite possibly:thumbup1: got a small cash job to tackle first though
  15. its my birthday tomorrow so the prospect of felling tuesday instead of climbing is quite appealing
  16. dam this thread:sneaky2: ive spent the whole evening wondering if tuesdays ash dismntle can be stunt felled:001_tt2:
  17. how long do you think it will take how much do you want to charge for said time
  18. ive usesd a similar technique to lower timber over the roof of a house, very simple and effective, but watch then weight of what your lowering. thanks for sharing stevie
  19. robs on holiday at the moment, but if you contact him through the alaskan mill website he should get it
  20. im sure they do a sticker, i called them up and got a couple of good sized window stickers from them for nothing
