  1. I saw a YouTube vid once where they did what you described Alex but on a bin. The crane op then drops the bin onto the top cut and as he cables down the chains slacken off and fall round the stem, they tighten as he cables up. Never tried it, probably never will but it did seem ingenious at the time.
  2. They used to do it all the time. I worked for a couple of firms years ago. We removed so many healthy tree because a neighbours 10 year old extension was falling off their house. Basically bad building. Person sees cracked in their house. Cool fact the insurance company. Building surveyor will monitor the crack of a number of seasons. If deemed or suspected from the trees trial pits are dug and analysis on the roots. Remove culprit. Not always the correct culprit. For example, I have removed small holly trees, a few shrub and an apple tree in a garden closes to the damage. No one seemed to notice the 20m plane tree on council land 10 metres away from the damaged property. As for @kram comment. They want low risk and are going by what their customer has told them, they are unlikely to have visited themselves. I very much doubt that. Who else pays for the Building Surveyor, Aboricultural consultant and the year or two’s worth of monitoring.? Unless things have changed dramatically the Home owner never used to pay for these things. What would be the point of having insurance? There were companies making shed loads of money acting as the middle man for the above services I mentioned. When the work was signed off by all parties, we would go in and remove the trees. Sometimes the monitoring and discussion, often hostile, had been ongoing g for 2-3 years.

  4. Who’s that up the tree? Nice work btw.
  5. Do you ever do large trees? Do you climb? if you did then you would realise that when they are needed a GRCS makes things so much easier and safer. Mind you, you have to have the knowledge to know when to use and how to use one. It comes across from your comments you have neither.

  7. or convert the shit cans on the protos to the slimline 3m (chipper) higher rated ear protection.
  8. Max cut? Doesn’t that mean the thickness of the material it can cut, not the length of the hedge cutters.

    Tell her not to be a clock watcher. Sometimes it is hard long graft. Sometimes it’s an early day. Employer dependent.

  13. Means f’ all. The legalise cannabis petition about 10 years ago hit the numbers in record time and continued to soar into the millions. Theresa May at the time said it won’t be discussed in Parliament as there is zero medicinal benefit to Cannabis and therefore not worthy of the Mp’s time. So what is the point of the whole petition process?
  14. If you like them so much and have such a sentimental value, why butcher them? Or Is your brother thinking they are needing a ‘good crowning’ as the door knockers would say and you are asking if they will handle it? More information needed.
