    I think that heave is only a problem if the tree was there before the house and is growing on a shrinkable clay. http://landscape-masonry.co.uk/pdf/layout%204-2.pdf

    I will have a look in my notes in a minute from the tech cert and see what they told us what HighWay tree defined. Im sure it said A tree within falling distance of the carriageway (Whether or not it was on HA or private Land) . IM defining the term not the ownership.
  8. Arborist
    Yeah 14 days notice isn't it then the HA can send there contractors in.

    That's kind of what I was getting at, all though you wouldn't own the tree or go into the garden to carry out works to it, it is in falling distance of the carriageway and could cause damage to it there for if the tree needed work carried out to it a section 154 notice would be served on the tree owner.

    Isn't a tree in some ones garden that is in a certain distance of the centre of the carriage way defined as a Highway tree?

    Insomnia

    Arborist replied to Pete Mctree's topic in The Lounge

    I can get in bed at night and im straight off but when I wake in the morning im shattered. When im working nights I struggle through the night to stay awake its awful but when I get home in the morning and get in bed im straight off by 7.30 then wake at half 10, struggle back to sleep until maybe 2.30. If I take nightall some times I get a bit more.

    I nearly bought a house in Mytchett, next to that Frimley Lodge Park. I do a lot of Protection dog training just outside of Andover. Last winter whilst I was doing night protection work for a famous person living near by I lived in my van for 6 months (to save money and not to battle the m4 after a night shift which was the stupidest idear ever) in a car Park nr Andover town centre and used to go to that big asda next to the cinema for dinner.

    I went to Owlsmoor Primary and Sandhurst Comp, where did you go? We had a siren on the edge of the playground and they test it at 10am every Monday morning, escape first then the all clear. Very very loud if stood by the thing. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2WU9qwDI_Y]Klaxon CS8 Siren Test, High-Low and All Clear - YouTube[/ame]

    Forgot to mention, I also had the pleasure every year of queuing up to sit on Jimmy Savills lap to get my Christmas present at the Christmas party for hospital staff kids!!

    Broadmoor Hospital. When James Saunders (Wolf Man) escaped over the wall in the early 90s he ran down the road I live in and broke into our scout hut nicking a tent and axe. If someone escaped or was at large during school hours or the escape siren went off other than a Monday at 10am we were locked into our class rooms and had to be taken/picked up from school by our parents. This went on until the all clear siren went off. There was a siren in our school and also a few dotted around Crowthorne, Bagshot, Camberley and Bracknell.

    When I rebuilt my chippit I spent hours on the phone to Graham at Orange plant, who more or less talked me through rebuilding it, emailed me drawings of the electric system and diagrams of the shaft and fins so I got the right parts. The parts I ordered came the next day of ordering, which enabled me to get the machine back working earning me money and paying my mortgage! Priceless!!

    That's terrible, really feel for you, the police should be clamping down on this!

    Saw a greenmech loader on the M42/M40 yesterday with two big chippers and the little cs100.

    I know exactly what you mean and I've been trying to find one too. It's what we used at Merrist Wood in the late 90's for the exact reason you said about the cutters moving plus if you sharpen the chain on the bar you are supposed to take to off and blow it out to remove the fillings before refitting the chain.

    Thanks for your time trying to explain it to me sloth. I emailed the standard to my brother who talted me through it. what I wasn't getting was the squared, square root of and the pie and how to put it in to the calculator and get the answer out. He told me he learnt it all at school but he was only 2 hears behind me and I learnt f all!! Probably why he ended up as an officer in the Navy and I ended up cutting trees and security!
  23. Arborist
    Thanks sloth its kind of making sense now. I've done so much revision now im starting to confuse my self!! When you say arb operations in the method statement you mean, Tree removal - Fell / dismantle to ground level. Stump - Grind / leave in situe / poison. Lift - to how high / what aspect of the stem and to bs3998 2010. Cut back - what aspect how high / what branches and by how many meters. Access facilitation pruning. what tree / what type of work and by how much. construction activities, Service installation. ngug. Temporary surface - APN12 no dig construction. Pilling within the RPA. scaffolding within the RPA / Protective barrier set back with ground protection. Is that sounding about right?? Thanks for your help Guys, A very stressed Paul. Ps. sean send me over your email, I have lost it from before and ill sort you out.
