    What's the difference between Trump and a single cell organism? Single cell organisms have a wall.

    Sod the tree, just water the foundations.

    Cordless grinders must be responsible for alot of locks and chains needing replaced I'd say Aye, I saw two kids removing a dvla clamp in broad daylight when out surveying. It didn't take them long.

    This particular tree isn't apparently causing any trouble while it's the size that it currently is. Hence my suggestion to make it a bit smaller, let it get back to nearly its current size and repeat.

    This is the homeowners forum. I was trying to use terms that may make sense to people without a background in plant science. Perhaps I should have said "I'm of the opinion that well executed reductions don't necessarily lead to panic flushing." Of course the reaction to pruning is species and tree dependent.

    I suppose you could approach it a number of ways. I'm with you on not interfering so much. Sometimes though we're left with no choice due to people building houses right next to trees.

    I'm not usually a fan of recommending reductions for the reasons you mention. In this case though I think it would be a more successful method of ensuring the longevity of the tree. What happens when the tree grows again to the point where the moisture abstraction is posing a substantial risk of subsidence? Keep thinning it?

    I get where you're coming from. I'm of the opinion that well executed reductions don't lead to panic flushing.

    Sorry. I meant, fell the house and set fire to the tree. Or he could just move house and let someone else deal with it.

    I use a handle and guide for smaller files as I find I snap them too readily without. The rest of the time I just grab a file out the box and crack on.

    If it was my tree, I'd be inclined to reduce it by maybe 15-20 percent and keep it about that size by pruning every few years. My reasoning being: if it hasn't caused an episode of subsidence at its current size, a reduction may be significant enough to prevent it from doing so in the future. That way, heave isn't very much of a consideration, the risk of subsidence is lowered, you get more light and the tree gets to stay. It's not my tree though and I know nothing of the site or its history, but it may be an avenue worth exploring.

    In many cases the 'glitch' is the person with the purse strings in head office, failing to do what was promised. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/construction-firm-breaks-silence-over-15714457?fbclid=IwAR026b5e04M6m-zmyZOym459cTbFU1AXsGCYz7vXNEC6CMV52p22lq-TXzY

    I think that if say 85% of your tax bill goes to essential services - NHS, Highways, Emergency Services, Defense, Education etc, you should be able to choose how to distribute the rest yourself. For example you may prefer the rest of it to go on building green infrastructure, or give extra to healthcare. This could esily be done with current technology and may soften the blow.

    Try it. Depending on variables it may or may not work. Nothing to lose if you have the plant on site.

    Unless you actively opt out of certain features, you are basically giving companies free reign to record whatever they like. A bit more about 'smartphones' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34444233
