I hope the homowners were out or else they would have thought that the homos are in!

Plenty of subaru pics in here, don't get me started!
-
OOps extra pic.....
-
Pillars and iron railing under it, you can just see top of Beech hedge to the rear, then driveway along side, some garden space on the opposite side from the road but not much. The tree next to it is the identical twin to the one we removed in the original beech take down thread, that will be next to come down hopefully, maybe next winter.

Well not that old, just wonderign if anyone has a motorola RAZR2 v9 knocking around that they don't want before I go and buy a new phone of some sort. I would like to replace with this model if possible. Will pay reasonable amount, or swap with Samsung blade?

I detect some sarcasm from our southern hemisphere friends there..........thanks bro. Heres the next tree taken form the other end so you can see it this time!!, went past it today.

if look is really not important then 35-50%. but 35% should really be maximum. Also its often more work to do a 50% than it is to fell the lot. Easier work, more clear up often equals the work involved in climbing.
-
Yep, if there is green growth in the bottom half they will be fine, although sometimes the lower growth is much thinner than it looks, and you only realise once the top is gone. Its hard to kill Leylandii though! I usually say one third maximum. Any more than that and you risk ending up woth something wider than it is tall and a real hassle in the future to top again cos the anchor points have gone.
-
No seriously, its not that great!
-
Thats a lovely bit of wood. A true butchers block is made using the end grain though. What you have got there is big chopping board. Nice though.
-
Quick delete this thread!
-
Can I donate the desk date thingy I got in the post from a chipper supplier??
-
Worth mentionign that the meindle airstreams are nearly as good as these fancy boots and chainsaw protective too! Now I have some and intend to not use the scarpas anymore except for comps if I go to any more, semi retired at the moment!
-
Yep, I would never let employees wear them unless hand sawing only and that includes self employed people on my sites/jobs.
-
Its so confusing! But I'm happy with county=carpets. Thats simple enough for me!
-
Thats the spirit!! BT have a contract (or least the customers have a contract with bt) whereby customers rent the line in advance then pay for calls in arrears. Any breach of service is refundabel by bt so its in there interests to repair and its in the contract that they will reapair faults within 24hrs unless its not possibel to do so (floods, earthquakes etc)

I think Dean puts things so much better than I ever can!

I'm not saying there is anything "wrong" with the cut. Nothing really to be learned either way, it went where it was supposed to, jobs a good un. Who cares what the cut looks like? Not me. It does look like a dogs dinner though. Some of my cuts are terrible, as long as the result is good then that is all that matters, but it is satifying when you cut a big tree with a big saw and the cut ends up neat and tidy. Its rewarding in strange way! I didn't feel the need to priase him on such a great job well done when takign the p13s out of the cut was much easier.....
-
Sorry for confusion.......the last pic I posted was of a different beech tree job, not the one this thread is about.
-
Do counties always have white roofs?
-
Hmmm.......might do. I'm climbing though!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure I can afford you as a groundie and it would be a long way, its wrong side of cheltenham from Bristol. Its the next but one in this line, so not the one behind the tree we felled already but the one behind that so not very visible in this pic.
-
No you wear them whenever you want but you don't admit it on a public forum. Thats the message I'm getting. I've used them lots in the summer, if I use them with a saw now and then thats up to me, I'm not going to shout about it though.
-
Thank you. And thanks for all the compliments guys, not expected but nice!
-
I agree we shouldn't be paying. Difficult situations there, it sounds like bt are stalling and the intermittant thign is an issue as its not a direct fault. I cut a phone line this year with hedge trimmers, got the customer to report a fault, fixed within the day no worrries, no bill, no questions.

Stick 280 on it for lights, don't worry about anything I say ever, and get the job done.
