  1. Indeed ..... I'll get me hammer K
  2. ....dunno if a layman would even know what a shigometer is *coff* K ( have you got one Kev ?? Are they good ? )
  3. Timberwolf a bit tinny in their lighter model. Forst blades setup make me shudder ? liked Greenmech stuff, but not used a recent one. K
  4. Radial expansion of roots is significant, but wouldnt put my money on it, in this case. Think mediation way forward here. K
  5. Amazing! Pity abt the rain tho ? K
  6. And its not like there is a lot of big conifer forestry in Hackney anyway ? K
  7. @Ratman same here - doing paperwork, sun just peeped out after tea K
  8. ...... IF you are inferring i have been licking chainsaws, Mr Stubby , that is entirely non of your business !! K

    Jokes???

    younger ones might not get this ( Obvs Mr@Stubby had to give up writing in latin after school ) K
  10. I would say , in Summer 2020 our H. Oak did look a bit sick , but improved after the hot spell ended. 80+ years and in raised bed near driveway , soil is compacted clay grit with full sun . No additional watering. K
  11. Only thing you got wrong in that was insurance companies actually love to rack up fees and drag it out forever ..... I tend to get to the cause n demand answers, when faced with the above scenario, but hey they make money at it ? K
  12. Ongoing property maintenance there i would say, many drains are in poor shape, not surface visible usually, so it is dealt with on a failure point basis. Tree root development is unquantifiable, until you dig / airspade the ground. Like tree inspection it should be record and action planned ( but that costs money and is a bother ? ) K
  13. ( neighbour has over hanging branch filling my gutter with leaves - i would go round n say " mate, am getting blocked gutter from yr tree an its leaf fall, i will trim it back from yr gutter and my gutter n blast out both our gutters free" that will put you in a good light and cost way less than taking the bugger to court on an actionable nuisance basis)
  14. @Paddy1000111 its just not an easy answer, people just do not realise their liability with their trees. Once its over 2m height, i or any other competent person should give written advice, periodically, with recommendations. Which should be followed at some point. This is duty of care. Its a cost. But it ( i have saved some clients literally thousands) means yr in a good position-with yr neighbour or the Local Authority or an Insurer. K
  15. Buying a new chainsaw has never been more confusing ( professional purchaser) used to be you could go to a dealer who had a stack out the back and try a couple out, then hand yr wad over. Now its PDI ed inside the box, an you takes yr chance ? K
  16. I like the 'hopefully' just not with my money...... K
  17. Join the club. K
  18. Yr damned then. K
  19. Only question is why it aint called the "" 60 saw" or is that misleading for us simple folk ? K
  20. Wot. Keeping pigeons off or climbing trees ? ? K ( hate spikes, me, but have to keep an old pair by, just incase)

    Bet they are those Brexit rooks stealing our bloody walnuts ? gets me so angry ! K
  24. This is meat and drink to me, as the absolute nonsense that comes out of these claims, is easily defeated. I cannot imagine how many of these cases are running in tbe UK at this time and it is entirely down to UK insurance sales policies. Am sure the other party are expecting to claim on your house insurance...... K
  25. Yr right, but mid throttle been mentioned in brake band thread by those in the know. K
