Khriss replied to BellaB's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Or it might tell you exactly how to procede Ben, but then I have been handling tree related subsidence claims for TfL for a few years now - so what would I know , eh ? K ( I'll get me white cloak n rattly chains ) -

In a word Bellinda - No. Frankly you will need far more detail and proper assessment by a subsidence savvy arborist plus an engineers report for soil and structure. Obvs this costs - but you are trying to establish guarantees here, so online searching cannot do that. It can only point you in the right direction. K -

If you tip yr head so yr ear is on yr shoulder - that does work . K ( 'ask a stupid question - get stupid answer' ' Confucious' ) -
I think people equate ' tight' with 'safe' you only have to get yr wheel changed at the local tyre fitters to find that . I torque wrench wheel nuts now so if I or anyone else has to change a wheel - it will actually come off !! Had to stand on a wheel wrench once after car had new tyre fitted , to crack the bolt . K

yr indeed correct Mr Stubby - wot is also correct is that Challenger II had to have new engine packs chinooked in on a daily basis in the Gulf war , as they fell appart in the desert . In spite of other countries still managing to run their tank fleet in desert conditions ( which ARE f@cking harsh on anything anyway - but they manage ) mate was supervising that flight and the cost alone was astronomical .

.... And lets not forget that shite SA80 fr the troops cos a gun that jams when you just look at it is a massive saving on bullets.... Along with a Cheiftan that HAS to run on domestic heating oil but cannot climb a hill.... Fab 120mm gun, just as long as the enemy are attacking within 5km of a block of German flats.... ? K

Not run saws in anger fr a while. But stihl dont know why they keep changing stuff. The posting on ethanol levels might be closer to the truth but i would be furious losing so many saws to that. K
-
Baffling. Sounds like a mixing issue but yr too experienced for that to be the case- dunno why the hell all my saws have run for ages on old Stihl red, then this new stuff arrives and saws fail ? k

Sorright Kev, we still dont know what the question is yet but keep posting interesting stuff an we will get there in the end. K -
A good range of technically informed and working experience here, if i were Forst, i would be getting a new blade design out, pronto, and, god forbid before someone is killed. Seen a few blades let go and frankly two instances where a bloke could have been hospitalised. I understand a corporate position on this but look at Boeing and thos Max aircraft.......... K

Khriss replied to BellaB's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Disagree with staged reduction opinion here. I have recovered many Cherry with a pruning regime to counter pronounced lean or shading issues, it is species specific and will not always fit the bill ( certainly not here) but it can recover a crown along with good root care. Costly i know but then wot is a tree worth? K -
