  1. Few more pictures would help both closer and of whole root area
  2. I found out the hard way lucky it wasn’t on my insurance.
  3. Even if you off hire the machine you are still responsible for a reasonable time after the off hire, in the case of a twenty tonne digger it’s a week! Only if you return the tool yourself your responsibility ceases at the time of the off hire.
  4. Difficult I’d be looking for paint transfer on the genie, if not you need to find the trailer
  5. I would get a professional opinion with a site visit beech with meripilus will go over with no warning and virtually no wind, I would suggest the bomb is already ticking
  6. They should be stratified, chucked in the fridge for a month or so in a plastic bag or box filled with peat or sand
  7. You do realise how small the gap should be between blade and anvil? Sound like you assembled it wrong what make is it?
  8. It’s never made any difference to my no claims or premium just £70 excess paid, and someone else has the hassle of fitting and they come to you!
  9. Without seeing the tree, don’t think it’s coming back,my guess would be a fungus stopping water uptake to the canopy got to go
  10. Not covered on your insurance?
  11. This is used if you have multiple cable in duct and want to follow one
  12. If you know where the cable is just put the gunny over it cat won’t find fibre optic unless it has tracer
  13. Buy cheap but twice maybe?
  14. Thinking too close to building take a few more pictures
  15. What does the root plate look like
  16. The topic was how reasonable the valuation on the tree was not if it was regenerating personally I think it’s undervalued. For too long we seem to value trees as just timber, firewood and chip,no reasonable accounting for landscape value. If you cut down a tree and are found to have broken the law you should replace the tree to a condition as it was the day before you cut it down, I know this isn’t always reasonable or possible but the fine should reflect this and hurt.
  17. Your going to need a crane much bigger to lift in a mature tree
  18. Just imagine the whole of the uk is going to be watching you 65 million arm chair tree planters who could all do it better !
  19. I doubt you would be allowed a digger within 100 m of the wall can you imagine the paperwork and box ticking plus the jobsworths that would be involved given I put mature oaks in at Nine Elms using the sites tower crane and they were over 20k and much much smaller
  20. We thought given ground conditions heavy lift helicopter there is. £250 000 for a start unless we can borrow a sky crane find tree prepare 2/3 years work rootball prune, move excavate pit on ancient monument not cheap by hand plant water and look after allowance for failure how much would you do it for?
  21. Not so sure. how much would you charge to replace it with the same species of similar size? we had a chat few weeks back came to 3/4 million as a starting figure
  22. Out of the sky maybe but getting to the trees roots Put a bit of a seaweed feed in the water 10/15 ml per litre
  23. You can get the certificate privately not sure of the cost
  24. Nights for us is double time plus a day off paid
  25. Feed it and keep watered looks ok
