Thanks for all the comments....Glad I'm able contribute something positive to the site once in a while.
SJH, that’s right Heaton moor/chapel or thereabouts. Are you local?
Tom, we generally send them before, even a youtube link….we’ve won quite a few similar such jobs as a result.

Ed, the tree would have to be huge or dangerous for me to go to those lengths….that poplar was neither. In most cases I’m already at the slinging point waiting on the crane. Ask me again in 15 years.
Rod, yes I’ve worked with the company many times, but have also worked with many other’s with much the same result. It’s what is said before you get up the tree that really counts….more often than not I don’t have to speak to anyone until I’m back down on the ground.
