Thanks for the reply. I need to be able to move the machine to a second site unfortunately, so 2.5 it is. Cheers

I should have put dig out fairly quickly. There's about 20 to do. Cheers

What would be the smallest size digger that would be able to dig out 2ft dia conifer stumps? Need to hire something that I can tow in a trailer. Cheers.....Al

😂😂👍 👍

I expect Mrs B wishes that as well.... 😂

Hope this is no-one on here, and wish them a speedy recovery. Air ambulance in Godalming as man suffers 'nasty' leg injuries in chainsaw incident - Get Surrey

That trucks modern for Somerset! 😂

Certainly look mean enough! They go up and down the window at night when the room light is on. I got swarmed on by bees many years ago whilst up a tree, so very wary of stinging things!

We had a wasp best outside out bedroom window in the eaves recently, so sprayed that. Only to find a bit further along is a hornets nest 😱 Not figured out how to get to this one yet....

An Irish man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. He proceeds into the water, eventually bumping into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon, he asks the drunk, "Are you ready to find Jesus?" The drunk shouts, "Yes, oi am." So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him back and asks, "Brother, have you found Jesus?" The drunk replies, "No, oi haven't found Jesus!" The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him again but for a little longer ..He again pulls him out of the water and asks, "Have you found Jesus me brother?" The drunk answers, "No, oi haven't found Jesus!" By this time, the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk again -- but this time holds him down for about 30 seconds, and when he begins kicking his arms and legs about, he pulls him up. The preacher again asks the drunk, "For the love of God, have you found Jesus?" (get ready for this.....) The drunk staggers upright, wipes his eyes, coughs up a bit of water, catches his breath, and says to the preacher, * * * * * * "Are you sure this is where he fell in"?

Says it's a new chain, not a new bar.

What about alphabetty spaghetti? Can you still get that?

Or you could buy my 130 tipper. Saves all the hassle!

In your dreams now. Used to be good prices but too many tree surgeons willing to work in London now, so price has been driven down. I don't bother with London work anymore as can't get much more than I charge locally and it takes hour and a half to get in! Plus you still get the usual headaches of parking suspensions etc to apply for.

And now

Thermometer in the sun here has reached 38 deg C which is 100 deg F !! And still rising Don't forget temperatures shown on the weather forecasts are shade temperatures. Cheers...Al

Must be more money down your part of Surrey Al. A bit quiet up this end.

About 2.5 - 3t Jon. Crane couldn't pick up more than that at the reach it was at. Welly lumps are about 4.5t.

Get yer tractor up here if you want them Jon!

Trees are down. Here are photos of the timber. The welly trunks are 10-12 ft long. Diameter of the largest about 4ft. The beech is in shorter lengths of about 8ft and again about 4ft dia. Cheers....Al 07841 143536

Haha. There's no gap! They are in the back garden with a big hedge in the way. Should be fun with the crane tomorrow though. No takers for the wood yet though.

Removing one each of these with a crane later this week in Hindhead. Anyone interested in the timber? Beech is around 4ft at the base, and the welly 4-5ft. Cheers...Al 07841 143536
