Cheers Drew and Adam. Yeah it is lovely to splice, very easy! Or, maybe I haven't done a new rope for a while

Cougar Blue Double Braid splice

Great picture... I actually asked the crane guys about riding the hook... yeah no problem was the reply providing there was no load. That technique may have been required if I had had to cut more of the Ash on the house. Luckily the tree was fractured so much I didn't need to cut much. Nice job mate.

Ash tree that came down in the storms last week.

Which one... Nightmares on wax or Primal Scream?

Cheers Rob.

Now that is a mess. Can you get a crane to it?

Good luck with it mate.

cheers mate. The houses were boarded up by the EA (I think) as both water tanks and heating systems in the lofts were ruptured. At one point, I was looking through the roof and ceiling into someones room. A lot of the windows were smashed already, I presume they boarded the ground floor to stop tea leafs and to prevent more damage inside if any more were smashed.

Cheers, Yes it was a bit of a thinker. Tony, yeah I am keeping busy, how about you mate?

Cheers. I tied into the hook and cleared a fair bit of stuff into the garden. Ties into some bits on the roof but the more we removed the more unstable it felt. Hence using the crane to break snap cuts and tear the leaders away from the roof. I felt I had to make the step cuts pretty thick as I didn't want the piece breaking off or the stem falling away from under me. Also it gave me time to get out of Dodge. The structural engineer working on behalf of the houses insurance company was reall satisfied with how the job was conducted. The only additional damage would have been a few roof tiles and some guttering I pulled off to stop it falling on someone below.

This tree went over in the high winds last weekend. Luckily no one was in the house on the right, as the homeowner was on holiday. The house on the left had a 70 year old lady in there when the tree hit. Luckily no one was hurt but there was a lot of damage to the buildings and roofs. A 40t crane was on site but the removal wasn't straight forward as most of the leaders had fractured which were supporting the tree, plus it was still on the stump. It was a bit of a tricky one to work out and some of the techniques might not be textbook but the crane had plenty of lifting capacity and the lift supervisor decided it would be the safest and best way to minimise the risk to both property and myself. The problem being a safe place to make a cut but then the tree going mid cut... All worked out well in the end and done by 2 ish. Someone has plenty of logs to move today though. Anyway hope you like the pictures and video. :lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUpUs7HgnsM]Ash Crane Removal - YouTube[/ame]

Nice. I like that.

Mine has seen me dry through some horrendous weather this winter.

Nice big tree there. Try and mill some of it if you can, Lacewood can be popular.

I think there is one called invoice to go or such like... people seem to get on with it, never tried it myself.

..... Seems to be working now Steve. However, it doesn't inform you it is trying to upload files.

Cheers Ross. Ill try again Steve. Nope still not working. Hang on i will try a picture of something else - much smaller. Still didn't work. Might be this Mac. Ill shut down and reboot and try again.

Hi Nick, the only setting you can do this on are the 1080 30fps setting. Make sure pro tune is turned off and you get an option for pictures, set the time frame to 60 seconds. It is easier to set up on the go pro app on the iPhone than the camera settings.

Yeah but you don't have to wear it on your noggin do you Benn? As I was given mine, I bought a few accessories from ebay at a bargain. Chest Harness, Head Harness, and Monopod. Plus a carry case for safety. Although I am sure you can get the bits and bobs for other cameras.

Steve, No error messages. I select the files from my folders, click upload. Usually you see a message - your files are uploading or such like. The button just goes grey and nothing happens... Files are pretty large. So i tried it with one. Not even working with one file.

Steve, I have tried uploading pictures to this thread but it isn't allowing me...? Any ideas?

Cheers mate. As for the guy in your question... I couldn't possible comment as he would beat the b'jeezuz outta me.

Mine is set on 1080 30fps W. Also I have the time lapse setup to take a snap shot every 60 seconds whilst it is filming. The settings can be fiddled with a lot. Do you think the setting in the clips has a lot of fish eye effect?
