  1. Same. Having it attached to the top handle would make moving around in the crown a real PITA.
  2. Any chance your neighbour has poisoned it?
  3. North of the border we have a secret tonic that cures all ills. Don't tell anyone I told you about it. The good thing is it is perfectly acceptable to take it at any time you feel you need to as it is a tonic. Here are some typical office workers taking it instead of lunch. You can even mix it with another fine tonic. Go on. Try it. You know it makes sense.
  4. It's definitely dry rot.
  5. I'm bored!
  6. Nope!
  7. I use mine all the time when chogging. I have the crazy cobra type which is quite thin compared to some others. Why don't people like using them?
  8. I thought all trees were sticky! Bare hands mostly but showa thermo ones on cold days.
  9. That's a belter.
  10. Yes I know of people who have killed fish with chain oil forming a film over an adjacent pond. Never heard of them being killed by vibrations though.
  11. Yeah I bet they are Living each day outside the law trying not to do what they did before:thumbup:
  12. No. Hybrids arise through sexual reproduction so you would not get a new hybrid growing from an old stump - only from a seed.
  13. My guess is they are saprophytic mycena fungi growing on deadwood.
  14. Were the occupants wearing laced up boots and corduroys by any chance?
  15. Like it! Will I need to purchase successively larger machines to get my logs down to the correct size for the aperture?
  16. No it's George Gorman's Lean Green Tree Climbing Machine!
  17. Great idea! Perhaps you could also make up some nice shield shaped base plates out of timber for mounting their little stuffed heads on. Then you could hang them on the wall alongside any other big game.
  18. Maybe he is just very good at what he does. But not at identifying fungi!
  19. From the little information you have provided I think the consultants were probably asked to survey all trees within the vicinity of the property (which they appear to have done). The fault appears to be in the interpretation of the survey. Your client clearly has no jurisdiction over trees in neighbouring properties and it is unlikely that the neighbours small dead apple and deadwood within an ash constitute a significant risk to your client. I still recommend your client contact the consultants stating her position and asking them for some confirmation, in writing, on what works is actually necessary. She can then pass this on to her insurer.
  20. It will probably be in an area prone to subsidence. Insurers are asking more and more nowadays about the vegetation around properties before agreeing insurance. They obviously do not want to insure properties that are considered high risk. But I think someone at the insurance company has got their knickers in a twist here and misunderstood the arb report. Either that or the arb consultant's haven't made it clear enough to the insurer what works is purely good management and what works constitute a reduction in risk. Do you have the whole report Nick? If so does it make any distinction in the wider context of the report?
  21. Not sure if this has already been posted but I enjoyed this. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcRfvtEwSdk[/ame] Makes a change from the usual run of the mill branch is cut branch falls vids.
