i think it all depends on the input you give the kids when you see them. my wife has an amazing relationship with her dad, and she saw him once a fortnight on a sunday. she has no bad memorys of him. just all big fun adventures. I spent every minute with my dad up to the age of 14. now we struggle to be in the same room for more than 10minutes. sometimes you can be too close and smother them. its a hard one mate, one i hope i never have to make. best of luck.

cracking big base on that pop, i believe the photo wont do it justice. Are you wanting it taken down to the fork? i think pete and edd will have that done in 10 mins mate.

my bluetooth are excellent, but the range is 200m. i dont know if that is enough. you can have a conversation no bother if someone is feeding chipper and other is working saw. really clear and it muffles out all other noises.

i love conifers. big takedowns look good but are hard work and everyone prices them to get them up here. let them have them i say. Couple of connys a day keep the bank manager away.

its in classifieds mate. -
sounds like the job for a razor 046, these things cut like butter. I hammered one similar a few years back, maybe not the girth but certainly tickled 90feet. It will come back i think, but something needs to be done by the sounds of it. Is there anything under ir, or can it be done from the fork in 2 cuts.

any tree i have removed because it was causing damage, was done in a oner, then they sort out the problem. i have never heard of staged felling, but there is a lot i havent heard of:001_smile:
