  1. You cannot damage or kill a dead tree or branch, so they would struggle to prosecute you. If it is dead, it falls under the 5 day notice rules (DDD) so just serve notice and carry on.
  2. I usually rap some tape round where I'm going to cut it, the cut in the middle of the tape, then melt the cut ends with a fag lighter, spit on fingers and smooth melted bits for a nice finish.

  14. My father has been a joiner for nearly 55 years, around 20 years ago he became allergic to saw dust, causing him a great deal of chest problems. He had acupuncture which he found really helped and he now always wears a mask when machining timber. Despite this he will be 70 next year, is still working and enjoys very good health.
