A view from the top of yesterdays Sycamore, 200ft tall when you include the chalk cliff lol.
-
Maybe it's a foreign hard wood.......I was at the boatyard yesterday and a mate was loading his car with off cuts and he mentioned how this particular wood burnt the best he'd ever had, can't remember the name of it but he said it would'nt get going properly until there was plenty of heat in the stove.
-
Cut it down as low as you can leaving 4 or 5 growing points, re-stake then dress in what's left, do the same with the other and train over the years to create a screen from the other houses. Cheap as.
-
The neighbours have lived there a long time.......Interesting what you say about the more traditional house being able to take more movement Tim. The neighbours house is 1930's and the clients house was built in 1729.
-
I cant say at the mo incase someone on here gets to price it.... I'll pm ya. In answer to your question Tim, no I have not seen the report but the client has had a letter from the surveyor.
-
This is all good stuff fella's thanks. The owner is going to have a look on Arbtalk and see your responses for himself.
-
That's what I said, the conny's will be doing more harm than the Oak. All chalk round this way Arborist.
-
I gave two prices on this Oak today, one to crown reduce by fifteen percent, which is what I advised and the other to fell. The owner does not want to fell it but has been advised by the next door neighbours surveyor that it is causing subsidence and has to go. The tree is closer to the owners property than the neighbours and his house is showing no signs of subsidence. I can't see how it could cause subsidence to next door, what's your opinions please.

:lol:What about my 'Ladybird' book collection, does that count?...........Oh and I got loads of 'Rosie n Jim' books, they're my favourite:001_tt2:
-
Books, before I got a computer I used to read alot. I got stacks of the bloody things.
-
Yeah more agg than they're worth at times although I do use ladders sometimes, I have a tiny set of ladders 3x7ft sections fits lovely in the back of a small pick up and reaches out to about 18ft.
-
Even then they're a waste of time. There aint anyone on this earth that can change my mind where the ol bill are concerned.
-
99% of old bill are........well I just cant say it here. Sorry I got no time for em what so ever.
-
Something that would fit nice and snug up your bottom bob.....You gotta be on a wind up.
-

They need arresting for wasting police time and criminal damage.

I spent nearly 2yrs working alongside Harriers with the RAF Regiment. I can remember running back from sqn hq with the whole squadron and a Harrier hovered in front of us, dipped his nose which is their salute then tore off from the hover. That moment will live with me forever. Here's another clip.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRfDsSnLtE4&feature=related]YouTube - VERY low Harrier ("I won't flinch..")[/ame]
-
That's a snap shackle Morten, very good idea:thumbup1:
-
The same as if they were seasoned and split logs imo. Okay you aint got the hastle of storing them and then splitting and delivering etc but they're still future dosh.

I'm not really looking for a lesson in how to run my stove, just saying hardwood burns longer than softwood.
-
You can't compare that stove to mine. Your's is a modern Hunter with the airwash thingy at the top. Your glass should remain clean at all times, where as mine will go black before self cleaning. All I'm saying here is that hardwood will burn longer than conifer, nothing else.
