Had a look over this big old ash today, it's part of a site clearance, so much clearance under the roots I could crawl in and trunk is rotten enough to stand up inside it.

Back to finish cutting the rest of the garden hedges I started last weekend, this hawthorn hedge had been failed heavy every year until about 15 years ago, when I laid it when it was about the height it is now, then laid the new growth about 5 years later and formed the arch at the same time.

Been red hot all week and high humidity, not good when we were strimming through willow herb and bramble higher than us, much cooler and windier today, heavy rain supposed to be coming in beginning of the week.

csservices replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Firewood forum

csservices replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Well a week after being told at work things are a bit quiet, we've just been asked if we would work over our annual shut down at the end of the month as we're now booked solid again, don't know if your on your but or your elbow. -

Went and fetched last two trailer loads of stumps off a site clearance this morn, then got sent down to burton with the spare 200 as the one the lads had took wouldn't run so stayed down there to help with a poplar take down, got a phone call off the Mrs to say my blood test results had come and am slightly high on blood sugars so got to go for some more and then finally chap came to pick up a saw I'm selling only to find out the chain isn't oiling for some reason so got another thing to look at grrr.....
