  2. Id say one word - No. Abojt 20 years ago I was rigging down a Lombardy Pop over an aspestos roofed garage. we rigging a lump which the inexperience grounds guy let run but stopped in what he thought was time. The rope stretched out, smashed a hole in the roof, bounced back up the geezer on the tag line tried to pull like mad and it stretched again and smashed another hole and then recoiled again and smashed a third hole in the roof. So again I would say no to using Rick climbing ropes for rigging.

  4. I am not a welder or an ag mechanic but would it not change the balance of the fly wheel or are the welds and tolerances for the balancing negligible?
  5. Mike, I have actually done similar as I am sure you have. 🀣 Rear garden removal. 4 storey town house and everything had to go down a set of stairs through a basement flat. The guy still had his prized records, framed and hung on the walls. Tight turns and then up a flight of stairs out to the front. Then stack in the street. If you could find a parking space close to the house. Those were the days eh?

  7. Not keyboard warriors, just some very experienced individuals who have been doing the job for a long time. Thanks for chiming in. Always good to hear a back story. 10 days is still a long time for a tree but I get what you’re saying having lived and worked in London for 20 years. The crew could have been based in Crystal Palace for example, at least an hour and a half travel there and back to Chiswick when you take into account travel time. If the guys doing the job are on a contract of 8 hours a day then it figures they would knock off at 1 to try and get back in decent time. So you took the pictures and made the video? Are you a tree worker then or just a curtain twitcher?

  9. That is a very long time for one tree. We did some monsters but never took that long.
  10. I don’t understand the 40 man days bit? Are you saying it was 4 man team there for 10days? Other than that I can relate to taking out large mature specimens in South London. In fact far too many of them. Proper ballache.
  11. I had an episode last summer. She snapped her leash lunging at the sheep. It went ping and she must have thought that was a green light. Not a nice sight seeing your dog chasing a load of sheep over the second peak in the distance. Suddenly they just came running back. I don’t know if Kira was herding them or they hit the boundaries of their area and the geo collar must have buzzed on the sheep. Sheep just roam free range in the mountains here. Whatever the reason for them running back, I avoided 6-8 sheep and them managed to flatten the dog. Had to pin her to the floor for about 5 minutes as she was possessed. I almost ended up choking her out with her collar. Not a very pleasant experience but better that than having the sheep harmed and the farmer shooting my dog. Booked the sheep aversion course as soon as we got back.
  12. I took Kira up to the shooting ground the other day. We leave carcasses out for the fox to pick at so they can be shot. I had the spine, pelvis and ribs from a moose in the freezer taking space. So I put it out for the fox. Kira knabbed one of the ribs for a snack LOL.
  13. That shit didn’t work with Kira. I had to take her on a Sheep Aversion course. Basically a shock collar and every time she charged them she got zapped. Took a couple of attempts but she finally got the memo.
