Ed I love that one of me with my silky up in the air. Rec climbs are good for a chat and just mucking around generally. I'm knackered as I've not climbed so much in ages!
-

-
thats a bit low really, i would feel guilty trying to explain the pictures to anybody else, as i wouldnt know anything about it, i struggle enough with my own photos!
-
ive got all the photos and videos, give me a bit more time this evening and ill link all the videos on here and attach a few photos. Ill make a new thread so its easier to view, may need a few posts to get everything in. Cheers for coming down lads, had a smashing day weather was perfect. plenty of lunge poses and some general horsing around!
-

Well Ed has the pictures of some great mid lunges from the last one. Mine is charged and ready to snap some daft photos!
-
Well I've been and bought supplies for tomorrow. Raided asda and got a good haul. Feel free to bring whatever you want. I'll provide lunch and there's a good amount of liquid here

wa105qg is to my yard, if it asks you for a house number put number 2, we are just after where it takes you. the first farm on the left. there will be a little christmas tree on the driveway outside

Free Hand for quickness and a little touch up. File guide if I want to get a good edge. I've made a chain cut straighter using a file guide than it was brand new. Cut faster too!
-
mines coming from a southerly direction oh you meant outside, yeah its wild! i might have to go and put a brick on my car to stop it blowing away!
-
tractor/trailer if i can, i think ill just chuck it straight into it and take it to my normal greenwaste site. the customer wants as many logs as we can give him so theres a good amount to be left on site, we basiclaly need to take just brash.

these arent simple 1 stem conifers, they grow to about 6ft as a single stem then split into two halves of the tree, many stems going either way. Its not pretty! its about 150m long, 30-35ft high. Not small. it all wants coming down to 10ft! loads to take away. darren if your down here on saturday ill show you, ill arrange with the customer that i can come and visit in the daytime and ill say im just showing a couple of guys whats being done. Will be a good crack i was going to be doing the bashing, looking forward to it! but i said 2 climbers, wouldbe be a bad idea just having a big saw and bashing lots out at once, theres so many stems! no hedge trimmers needed. callum i will send you a PM, names have not been confirmed yet, but will be by monday/tuesday
-
okidoke, im not expecting much from the weather tbh. ed ive got one but feel free, why not set up two!
-
if your in a car then its best to leave it at the yard, plenty space to leave it. Then i will just bring your stuff down in the truck. aim for around 10.30-11, robarb is getting here for half 10 I went down today in my truck, its all grass but looks like tis gonna be a bit muddy, with me having no weight on the back wheels i made good mess of the wet bits. Found a potential zipline tree that will pass over the lake, but getting the rope to the other side of the lake is a problem! its a fair distance! I counted maybe 10 good trees, mainly oaks, and a sycamore or two. took some pics but left memory card at the other halfs. so no teaser pics. weve got a field of spuds we can pilcher from if needs be. can i confirm these names? so i know how many to grab refreshments for! me robarb ed darren? 18 stoner? ray tom Cant wait
-
i would assume so, branches can also fail due to dreeze/thaw, for example if there is a pocket of water in a union and we get a cold night it can 'push' the branch off. Thats what ive been told anyway! happens the same way to rocks
-
i would just charge to do the job, then again, i dont advertise emergency work. i doubt anybody would ring at 1am? they would wait till the daylight and then its operating hours so why charge an extra fee?
-
If they are similar to the county ones I.e ones made by Volkswagen in the 90s then this type of transit is like gold plated rocking horse poo! A steal at £2000
-
Rob I'll show you the hedge on Saturday. You'll probably be glad you can't do it! Haha. Mistahben I'll keep you in mind certainly. May just need the extra pair of hands!
-
A question can only be as stupid a you make it. Use your head. A switched in groundy will be one step ahead and will spot things others don't! As your climbers working. Keep looking At his kit I.e knots, ropes etc making sure they are all ok. Stuff like stopper knots are good to notice. Even if they aren't loose just ask the climber to check it so you know they are tight and won't come loose! It builds up the trust making him know you want him down in one piece as much as him! Coming from me, I was watching a climber clip a saw on his line to be sent down for refuelling and he missed the loop as he went to clip in and let go. The saw (ms260) came somersaulting down. I saw it as he dropped it and scarpered. Everyone else was taken aback as they were just having a minute and missed what happened. Certainly an eye opener!

Im after 2 guys for some general labour, bit of saw work involved large, and i mean mahoosive conifer hedge to be reduced, ive got 4 days on it 17th/18th and 24th/25th to fit around my uni work. If you can climb by all means bring your kit on the first day, i will decide then if we need two guys climbing on the day. Ive already priced in for 2 guys wages. Phone me on 07841128366 to arrange it or if you have any questions Im located in st helens 10 minutes from m6 jct23, the job is pretty much across the road from base. tried asking other students but they arent in class enough so i can discuss anything with them! Cheers fellers!

"Crane Tree Removal" ACE Tree Management
RobRainford replied to acetreemaster's topic in Video forum
no thats just how things are in austrailia! Goog vid, but as steve said i would have liked to see some clsoe up of cutting and normal speed releasing of some of the lumps, i love hearing the crack crack crrrrrrrrrrrr swoooooosssssshhhhhhhhh as big pieces move about! -
thats not even the same tree, look to the right of the tree in the first pic (which has been taken from google street view!) there is a kerb and pavement being put in there, in the second pic, theres still grass! look also in the second pic at that huge root sticking out, look at the same place on the first pic, oh look, no root! Upon searching for this tree in chilton, there is no street view available in chorlton!

I've confirmed that a small fire for food purposes will be ok. So feel free to bring that and I'll bring some logs down to leave on the fire. I'm looking forward to it
