    You'll pay a bit less than a quid a day, as a sole trader, for an accountant.

    Jokes???

    The janitor just asked me if I'd like to smoke some weed with him. I politely declined, I can't deal with high maintenance people.

    A tree report will add 500 ish to the price. It may be that someone will be interested in milling it when it's on the deck.

    All the best Paul, have a cracking 2020. ?

    Aye, aka 'suspended coffees'. Nice thing to do if your resources stretch to it and you're that way inclined. You can buy a homeless person a meal for a fiver this Christmas if you donate a little to the local 'Peoples' Kitchen.'

    Surely the license is a subscription? If you don't watch it, don't subscribe.

    More ropes on a fell like that makes zero sense. If you showed them that as an example, they'd likely want to know why you were climbing it, when there's access for a MEWP...

    NHS is mint. I've just had a scan on my knee. 1800 on a Sunday.

    He's given you good advice there. The spores of the fungus are windblown. There's a map here that shows its unfortunate spread: Chalara ash dieback in the UK CHALARAMAP.FERA.DEFRA.GOV.UK Ash trees go brittle quickly when they die back (deadline).

    You look and seem happy mate. Good work.

    I've done best part of 10K miles in the last three months. I've been in the game a while and am currently awaiting ACL reconstruction. I miss climbing but I'm alright at paperwork. Any port in a storm. Everybody needs a bit of luck.

    Yup, You've got to be in it to win it. Ring whoever has work, explain your predicament and you'll land on your feet. Most people have fallen on hard times at some point. It will get better if you keep going.

    What are the health and safety benefits of this? It must add to fatigue over time using two systems. One part of the above doc says that it's preferable to have both lines in same anchor point,over one line (if two independent anchors aren't achievable). Now, if you're having a bad day and are going to join the statistics, then you're likely to cut through/trap them both. This doesn't seem very well thought out.

    Hello mate, that's a handy template you've posted up there. Well played for sharing it. The functionality for digital signitures is useful when it comes to electronic docs. Mark.

    My point was that just about any vegetation growing next to a building will dessicate the soil beyond 300mm, even grass can delve 1500mm deep. So tree or no tree, there's likely to be an ongoing saga.

    Fix the extension: Perfect solution. If the tree predates the build, then someone should have thought about it.

    Hi mate, What's your background? Have you got much experience with trees? Do you have books/resources? Have you read them? The reason I ask, is you may be aiming too low. If you're planning on ultimately doing a PTI then you should ask whoever runs that course if they think that you're suited to it. A PTI course and a resit (if you don't pass) are cheaper than an intermediate qualification and subsequent assessment at a higher level.

    Not all clay soils are the same. The likelyhood of heave depends on soil conditions. Site investigations can analyse the soil. It may be that the shrink/swell potential of the soil at your property is relatively small. As for phased reductions, as said, there's no point to them. If there was a pre-existing soil moisture deficit then it's just prolonging the inevitable. I should add, if the foundations are that unsubstantial " and the foundations are non-existent (30 cm of rubble).", then sorting that would be a good idea, as anything that grows roots will grow below that depth.
