Always a good idea to use your mirrors on the way to the yard, I generally take a small detour, or pull over & check for any tails.
-
Must say, the differing opinions on the last page or so are thought provoking, I have expressed my views, & have no need to repeat them.
-
Common sense does normally prevail in reality, i agree. I also consider myself reasonably experienced in this topic.
-
Just a reversal of the rich/ poor aspect of your point, which switches the moral slant.
-
Strong with two sugars, & custard creams, but NO DUNKING, filthy habit.

I have to disagree, when some wealthy neighbor asks me to cut the overhang off a tree owned by a little old lady on limited income, & expects her to pay for his action.
-
Ah, but would that include chip & remove waste for £2k?
-
Yes, the client should pay for disposal, as once cut it has turned to waste, at the action of the client's instruction. I dont get why this requires such lengthly debate, when we all under normal circumstances do the right thing & bang it through the chipper,at the expense of the client, who instructed the work be done, hence creating the responsibility to dispose of WASTE!
-
So do tell, do you advise your clients that he can just have the branches placed on the tree owners property, without the tree owners consent?
-
It is industry standard practice, if contracted to remove overhanging branches from a neighbors tree we chip & dispose at the expense of the client over who's land the branches hang, ( we are obliged to ask the tree owner if they want the arrisings, they rarely do). Anyone arguing to the contrary is just misinformed, or argumentative.
-
I have never cut overhanging branches & returned them to the owner, neither has anyone I know, it would most likely result in an action. So tell me Treequip, do you return these overhanging branches to the owner, without their consent, I bet you dont!

:laugh1:Superb!

Yes, that section does sound misleading, after googling this seems to be a common point, in contradiction to some of the posts here, hence I posted the link to clarify. Your common law rights are intended to allow you to carry out the minimum amount of work. If you carry out extensive works which make the tree unsafe, the tree owner may have a case against you for criminal damage. You should be especially careful if you are pruning roots. You may wish to obtain qualified arboricultural advice before carrying out any work.

Spot on.

-
I agree with you, you have done this the right way, it's always best to try the amicable approach, & it may well be that the neighbor just doesn't want to contribute to the costs, either way, that doesn't help you get a solution, get an arborist to look at the tree & see what they come up with.
-
If you kill the tree you will be liable, if you render it unstable by removing all the crown from one side, same thing. Thing is, people buy a house without looking at growth rates of nearby trees, potential for extensions or building nearby etc, then find themselves not happy with how things change, some things can't be seen without a crystal ball, others are fairly obvious, I think your neighbors tree falls into the latter, & I would urge compromise on a legal & moral basis.

Does anyone use easystart or is it still frowned upon
geoff replied to predator's topic in General chat
Best off fixing the cause of hard starting, this stuff is a bit brutal, I would not use it unless the engine is destined for disposal & you are just trying to get the last bit of life from it. -
The owner is within his rights to not want the branches returned, & to request not to go onto his property, you are within your rights to have the limbs overhanging your property worked on, at your expense, but must not render the tree unstable etc. Being that the tree is so close to your boundary, it is likely that the work proposed will have an adverse effect on the tree, ( which will also bleed at this time of year). I would advise you try to come to an agreement to reduce the whole tree in some balance, if this is not possible, compromise by reducing the limbs on your side, under the advice of a reputable arborist, rather than cutting back to your boundry. This may not be what you would rather, but could well be the best outcome for you in the long run.

Thanks mate, just takes time to nit up.
-
Will give you a call, due to a neck injury I have not worked for the last ten days, & much as I hope to be fit this week, so far I'm incapacitated, any on else feel free to help, as I think the op is in a rush, & as you know a neck injury is open ended in recovery.
-
Some very good advice given on this thread, I'm on omep for the rest of my life, that's ok for me, but always keep a clear picture of what's going on with what is going on inside you, & what you are absorbing, food, liquids & stress. Also when you intake these things regards your body clock. For instance, a big meal taken before sleep without walking it off, or stress with your head on the pillow, no good. Sometimes eating just a few mouthfuls every hour or so rather than filling your face a couple of times a day, & plenty of good water can be constructive.
-
I trust all will be fine with the recovery, Bless you both.

I love your scooter mate, it's superb!:thumbup1: Not too keen on that truck though, looks wrong & would just be grief on the road.

Hideous! completely hideous.
