I would have to have stopped it from going on.

Overnight theft from Wellignton, Somerset.
geoff replied to Tree Man Tom's topic in Stolen Equipment
My father had a lead statue,(yuc),weighed about 150kg,took from his back garden,must have been carried about a hundred yards before going on a motor,at least they had to work for it! -
No mate,it fell naturaly,the roots were shot to pieces,it was part of a row of oaks marking an old boundry,I think the '87' storms had given it a good nudge to starbourd,and the rot set in as it was in a ditch line,and roots had fractured,giving access to fungal decay. It still had a fairly good head of hair,not too much die back in the crown,but she was completely over & standing on her limbs with the remenents of the base up in the air over the ditch. An awkward thing to deal with on you own,going in blind,as I was just told to come and get the old girl out out of the way of the fence line & disc it up. So not guilty this time!

Me too!:laugh1:

Well I had to get the bloody tree out of the ditch,the farmer was having his sheep put out in the field & needed to get his fences up,anyway the hole was only an ity bity little hole!

Keep it to yourself Steve,we dont want the likes of Mr Bolam and that Lofthouse bloke getting all competitive with us.. It actualy works quite well,this section had rolled back into the ditch,making it awkward to get a strop on,it was about 4 foot diameter,and 5 foot long:001_smile:
-
Well you got luckier than me then..anyway just for Steve,the 'get lumps out of a ditch pics', you need a landy,a small saw,and four bore cuts to the bark, and the same to the cut face,angle them so the cuts taper in as you bore,& the squares just flop out; 017 by geoff321, on Flickr 016 by geoff321, on Flickr 015 by geoff321, on Flickr

Oh Steve,I only got one,and that was a one ton lump of oak that I cut a 'patented geoff strop hold' on, the trunk was in a ditch with all the bramble & blackthorn you could want,big old oak that fell a bit awkward. But felix did see the bar,he was stroking it this morning & crooning gently.:001_smile:will get up any pics I can drag off the old work camera...

Thanks for today mate,you turned up so promptly you nearly had the oportunity to get an early morning getting into me skids type of lunge pic, By way of excuse,I was on the end of my 3120 with a six foot bar on it for half of monday,so a bit sore. Thanks again,and see you Thursday:thumbup1:
-
Ouch,hope its covered,thats a bad loss.
-
Good luck with it mate,let us know how you get on.
-
That looks good Fungus.
-
I will go with Hamma on that, or a canon S95,which is a belter of a camera,with manual control if you need it,and has the same sensor as the more expensive canon g12 (which I use),and the same image quality.

My parents had a chicken run for decades,the only thing that survived in there was a hawthorn.

Could be tipper isolater switch,to shut off electricity to the tipper motor,(isolate the tippier electric circuit),to prevent accidental tipping when driving. Nice looking bus there.

Spot on Spike,saves all the messing about. At the end of it clients want to know where they stand in most cases,and the messers get no chance to quibble.

JohnMCC,by this evening I'm sure you will have a good few answers,might help to get a photo of any dying foilage,and of whole tree in the process of decline to help form a conclusion. Welcome to the forum too.

I think if you rebuild the wall to the same specs as before,(no piers) you would be creating a liability,to build to a good spec,even if the footings are good,(and wide enough to take a 9 inch pier), would cost a grand or very near it,even if you salvaged most of the bricks. Thats my opinion of course,not gospel.
-
Haha, Steve you naughty finger pointer!
-
I hope it all works out for you mate,I too will put right any 'mishaps',but I wont stump up if people are just trying one on,in this instance he has knowingly placed other people in harms way to save a few quid.
