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.

TRy F R Jones,& son,next to your first post in the advert bar on the left,he does next day delivery,gives good advice & competetive prices.
-
With a bit of fair play you may find the insurance tell him you have no liability in this matter,more so if the landowner was aware of the wall's condition. Im all for making good what one busts,but if the wall is/was in the condition you describe,and or built of single skin to 10 feet tall,with no piers in it,then you will have no probs with your insurance paying out...they just wont!
-
Just had a rethink after taking advice,and the best way would be to make your insurers aware at the first oportunity,let them know the circumstances surrounding the wall failing,and if you can show that the landowner was aware of the walls condition,then he may get the 'defective premesis act' thrown back at him by your insurers surveyors. read this,and scroll down to landlords duty of care,& note section 4; Defective Premises Act 1972 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-
If the wall had fallen on a kid,or burglar,liability would be with the landowner if the wall was deemed unsafe & at risk of colapse,get it surveyed by an engineer & if he condemns the structure due to condition & /or design I would consider sending him a copy of the report & wait to see his next move. You should tell your insurance company & explain (with report),within the time scale specified in your insurances. That's my opinion on it if the wall can be shown to be a liability to the owner. he got off lightly,if as you say he was aware & had not taken measures to make safe.

Cool bit of kit,for the money I would look at a full on crane.
