tack sa mycka stevie, rob och old snake david, the customer was over the moon with the whole job, safety was his no.1 priority, and trusted our/my advise after a quick inspection of the other limbs 100% . . . and insurance company agreed to pay for all the work over the phone! imo that was the best option for the tree . . . a fell would sure have been fun, but such a magnificent structure should be saved. reduction would just have looked daft. i hope it survives for a while. what age would you place it at factoring in its growing conditions??

yeah it was a fair sized tree, was a bit dissapointed when i got in and uploaded the pics, in the pics it doesnt look nearly as grand as it is, be intrested to know how old she is. hope it survives for a few years:001_smile: i dont have bedposts mate . . . . just a pile of sawdust on the floor:001_tt2:

been real warm thisweek, around 27c by 7.30, rising to 34c, then still 27c 930pm! almost too hot for type c's. working on this old girl today, been a pleasure to work on, 99%roped off because of fence, hedge, wire, well, carport ect the top blew out, flipped and landed on the house, with another branch hanging in the wind, climbed down the lodged limb swaying, nibbling little bits off, crane lifted the other limb off the house, akward to do at times as no center, my rope was about 6m from the new top, so guestimate the tree to 25m, maybe touching 30 before the damage. inspected another limb, found a 9inch hole i could get my arm in and a 4ft stick, so suggested pollarding pictures dont do it justice im afraid:001_huh: and monkeyd should be proud, youre big words finally got used:thumbup: convinced the boss and customer to retain the large split decayed stem for biodiversity, spot the Karabina resting on it. then pics of a sunrise, and me with a good christian girl

the fishing rods in pic 2 steve:001_rolleyes: unlike you to miss the details:001_tongue:

haha, that'll be the one! did ben sell his unimog?

sounds like theres one or 2 on this thread who need to buy a 200tdi 130 tipper

to try and fail is better than not trying atall live life with no regrets today is for living, as tommorrow may never come

i had a trial and job offer with another firm in ealing, there was no way i was gonna live in that area and be happy

no i got them and the blower, the silky bades and beeline on behalf of the boss, a flat file over here is £3.50 EACH!!!

ahh ok, cool, cheers rich, means alot when people like youreself and old snake who are good reducers praise my work cousin jack, theres lots of forests here. . . and horses in the countryside!!! was speaking to some horse girls from the south a few weeks back, but thats another story few cars spotted this week mustangs and dodges inc classic are 10 a penny, swedes love their yank muscle cars

. . . stuff i actualy want!!! cheers justin now to wait untill youre show for the trousers boots and 020 needed!

cool! what about that style backround but the ARBTALK letters in arbtalk red?

haha, yep you know the sort, DW a DED Elm, reduce by no more than 5%, Lift crown ONLY (despite thigh sized DW over footpath) computer drawn maps that might as well have been of the moon, numbers, tags, spec, species which dont correlate with each other yet the hands on guys you can phone up, they listen and take youre advise and judgement on problems and trust you without getting high and mighty!

one bit of friendly advise is for most of the tree guys i know, myself included, is theres nothing worse than a tree officer or consultant with no hands on experience . . . appart from being asked to do rediclious things, spending time climbing all over diffrent trees day in day out you spot and learn things books and courses just cant teach. out of all the tree officers and consultants i knew and met, the ones who had 'served their time' getting their hands dirty had the best rapport with the guys, the others were almost hated!

cheers mozza took about 15 min just to write arbtalk

sorry i cant do any shading silouettes or outlines:blushing:

haha brilliant! bashed their car nice one!

aspens great, i would encourage anyone to try it for a few weeks. i used to look at it in the local chainsaw shop and think it was a load of overpriced tosh, i was very wrong! some of us pay £200+ for a pair of chainsaw trousers, wheras a £60 pair do the same job, but we may never cut them with a saw for 10 years. every day for hours on end we expose ourselves to chainsaw emissions, why not limit these emissions by using aspen? as arbtalk member xerses has said on another thread aspen should be considered ppe. im not a scientist, so have to believe aspen is less harmfull than normal petrol (however harmfull that is or is not) but what i have noticed since using aspen, is more energy, no stingy eyes or coughing when cutting large stumps down, and a pleasant smell. try it, then comment:001_smile: every aspen thread this has been the case!

done a fair ammount of removing reverted growth on varigated mapels back in cambridge, and removing normal leafed branches from the biggest cut leaf beech ive ever seen in my village, beautifull tree, can you get cut leaf purple beeches?

Thanks:001_smile: whats rj? Youre just bad what about the odd swastika?
