I'm with Huck on this, generally hard as, if your going to rig it, make sure the root plate is sound.
-
Which bit Huck?

Steinbeck's work is great, but 'east of eden' never sparked me up, 'the grapes of wrath' has to be his most stunning work imo. 'Babe's revenge' is worth a look, by Nora Titsoff...

One might think so, but as you know a tree can have some limbs worse than others, or maybe would require rigging if climbing, where as in a mewp it can often open the option to step cut & then chuck with more control over the brash mat. With mewps, in my fairly extensive experience of their use, an awkward job can at times be carried out with more control of the risks, and in a more efficient manner. Don't know the specs of the job quoted on, but I have dealt with a few that common sense depicted that a climb would be a higher risk, &/or less productive, such as a limited timescale power shutdown on a dangerous & leggy tree.

As Felixthechopper says, good quality logs, & local.

tree safety - should i cut it down?
geoff replied to dgd17's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I would get a consultant, he knows what to look for, & will advise what is best. Having said that, it is your tree, & you sound like you would rather have the logs, but bear in mind, by the time you have paid to have the tree taken down, put the time in to split, stack & season the arisings, it might be a win- win to retain the tree & buy in logs! -
I would get some lengths stacked in a favourable place for them last Knockings Saturday, & go wait it out on the sunday morning with a nice hot flask, once they have been caught I doubt they will return to your site.

We all know the score, If you turn up for work after a session, its not just yourself you are putting in jeopardy. Have a conscience. Simples...
-
My thoughts exactly, it's just laziness & lack of forward thinking.
-
That's a very nice one you have there, I love these saws.
-
Those fireplaces are superb Silky!
-
If it has an arrow pointing out of it you have posted on it, if its red I think it's a 'hot topic', yellow for a newish one? If you get a pink one someone loves ya! Not had one of those myself though.
-
Me too, I spent a few puzzled minutes tweeking things in my 'user cp', knowing my luck Iv'e put everyone in my ignore box, things could get rather lonely if I have!
-
That's better, another member with the dunces cap to keep me company, it is under 'Welcome Gardenkit', top right of the screen.
-
Ahh, thanks, daft old me has been missing loads then!:blushing: Message to self, ' use the todays posts button!'

If you are doing your reading, have a grip on the practical side of it, you will be fine, just take your time & enjoy it. The whole assessment is fairly straight forward really.

I usually just click on the 'unread posts' button to see what is going on here on AT, unless I'm looking for something specific. One thread never shows up in the 'unread posts', (Chris & Silky's Bang Tidy thread), which I find interesting, & makes for a good read, any ideas why this is?
-
Well I'm coming out, I actually really like those little Fiats, & they make sense around town.
-
That is nice to see Chris, not many young lads get trained up on the job like that nowadays, good on you.
-
Stunning work there, you could sell loads of them to the politicians !
-
That's very sad Tom, I hope everyone is ok. Don't feel obliged to answer questions on this topic, & well done to the emergency services.
-
That's a nice looking axe!
-
They can only do so much Bob, they have larger overheads, having said that my local dealer beat online sales when I go in there, probably because I & others I know use them without fail.
-
Well done in avoiding that lot. These service companies really ought to have better knowledge of where they have their infrastructure, maybe nowadays they keep better records, & it's the old stuff they are ignorant of.
