    Had a knackered Pine to dismantle today. Ideally the boss wanted to get an 80t crane but the outriggers would have meant a road closure and diversion. Heavily decayed at base and about half way up with a full crown above. Close to property and live cables and utilities. The boss decided to dismantle it by hand, no rigging and cut and chucked the lot. We had had a heavy three days in Frederikstad pruning a lot of large mature Limes. 36 hours work in three days so the boss did this one to give us a break. Timber being picked up tomorrow. Rich

    Only ha d a couple of climbs on it and it is pretty sweet John. Been out in Norway for over 3 weeks now on the truffle burger tachyon and it is pretty bouncy but works great.

    The steel cable was placed about a third of the way up the tree. Quite a long time ago. The stems had started to absorb it and it was rusty as, so a consultant went in the and cut it for some reason, they then bored 60cm into the trunk and said it was knackered and to tell it. The home owner got a second opinion from the guy who used to own this company and he suggested the cobra system higher in the crown and a tidy up and some slight end weight reduction.

    That birch was in Årnes, about an hour north west of Oslo. We were surprised to find out it was less than a 100 years old. Planted in 1919 when the boys was built.

    I love a good time-lapse. I enjoyed that one. Looked like a warm day, or was it just the blue sky?

    No mate a grab lorry came and picked it up. What he does with it I have no idea as he doesn't speak English.

    I tend to short clip 90% of the time. I might lower the saw down on the strop to chuck a piece but then short clip it to a caritool before moving a significant distance.

    Just a quick question mate... A couple of my mates are IRATA L2 and L3. Unfortunately they don't do carb work. How would the day rates translate to Arb as they earn a lot more than an Arb climber? By more I mean some L3 guys are 3-5 hundred a day. Cheers.

    Give us a shout Jay. We did have a reeky climb about a month ago in Maidstone. Nice climb, a mess about then a pub meal. Nice vid Adam and good work on the reduction. It was quite long though. I must admit I skipped through it as the inter webs connection here is pretty gash sometimes!

    I don't really work like that Jay, just as and when I can arrange it with the missus and childcare. Yes it is Aaron, who used to work at SL.

    Thanks David. One of the locals in the flats close by sat there watching and getting covered in crap. The other side of the road had a roof terrace or similar, they seemed to enjoy the show. At ground level we had a few people who came up and were stood watching from the other side of the road. The dude on the Avant stacked the timber with the rot closest to the footpath so people could see the extent of the decay. I though that was nice touch. I think a lot of people who regularly used that route or worked near by saw the damage caused to the Audi when it was written off. The car park were were rigging into was for a mountaineering / climbing shop. They were pretty much sat out side for a lot of the time or behind the windows. They made us plenty of coffee! :thumbup1: We have another one Thursday with DED.
