  1. I would have put the rope up with a throw line. Cut correctly I see no reason not to fell, especially with a pull line. Obviously dependent on the condition of the base.
  2. Without seeing it in the flesh I can't say, but I've felled 100's of Lombardys over the years, some in pretty tight spots.
  3. So you think no tree should be felled, unless there is nothing within falling distance in all directions?
  4. I knew you'd take it the wrong way. Your comment surprised me, thats all, no big deal.
  5. Do you really think? Not being arsey,. The fear of killing or seriously injuring someone means far more to me, this fine will not make me think differently in any way. I would expect a cock up like that to be career ending.
  6. The video is shocking and upsetting. But am I in a position to judge? Have I ever had friends or coworkers killed by some one with a concealed gun? No. The guy does look to reach back for something. I guess the cop was sh1t scared he was going to die. Did he over reached? probably, but maybe many of us would have in the same situation. I'm just very glad its not a situation I will ever find myself in.
  7. Cheap day out then
  8. Did you buy them all Stevie?
  9. Why do you think previous POTUS have not done it?
  10. Google is your friend, go look, there's plenty of other sources I simply picked one.
  11. Do you live in a bubble?
  12. And ignoring international law.
  13. That makes a lot of sence, I've always found that timber left out that got snowed on is bad to burn, Maybe it's the freezing that lets more water in.
  14. Go stick a log in your oven, I guarantee it will dry.

  16. Thats a shame Stubby, if she'd come in for brew you could have asked her what Phillip had said when Harry told them he wanted to marry Megan, I dread to think what he came out with
  17. I'm not sure thats going to help YOU much
  18. IMO, this is a ridiculous comparison, a property is an asset and almost without fail will increase in value, often the listed features add to its value. A property if maintained correctly will last pretty much indefinitely. A tree on the other hand generally has no real value, except to those who like it, but even then its still in real terms a liability that requires maintenance and has a finite life. Personally, I think TPO'd trees should be maintained from the public purse.
  19. For someone who appears to have reached the dizzy heights of pushing a lawnmower, you're very quick to throw insults at those who most people would agree have achieved quite highly.
  20. Yes that needs removing, just cut 90% through it with a thin grinder disc or dremel and then split with a chisel, once cracked it will come off easily. Its the inner part of the bearing.
  21. They shouldn't need to, if they are dealing with professionals.
  22. You think Trump wants Mexico to be great? Is that why he's building the wall? You really are a clueless clown
  23. No, you're wrong. We have no legal obligation to pay them a penny, this figure is what we will pay if and only if we are happy with the deal. If we walk they get zip. Also the money will be paid over coming years not in a lump. You're so ridiculously bias your unable to see the facts.
  24. Enjoyed that! Thanks for taking the time
  25. Years ago I climbed for a timber merchant who always referred to Sweet Chestnut as Spanish Oak.
