  3. armchairarborist
    the heavy pruning shown in january, nice to see healthy regrowth
  4. armchairarborist
    found this laetiporus on an oak near where we have been working in sutton coldfield, the oak looks to have had recent heavy pruning.

  6. armchairarborist
    gentle bark reduction should do the trick..

    a decent garage big enough to build my own make of car from scratch to my spec.. oh and maybe a box of hydraulic couplings/ram/pipes for something im cooking up in my head..

    my reason was the money, there was nothing i could find wrong with it though.. there were defects but i wouldn't have recommended removal, the house is being converted for disabled use and the people dealing with it wanted it gone to extend house that direction, local council had granted a fell so i felled.. all arisings to local yard in the area.

    Hi phill, you taught me (Ed)and my bro (John) on rigging course at craven college, bought an ace kit bag from you at the time, still going strong but could do with another as the mice took a shine to it.. nice to see you on here.. Ed.

    been to southern parts today, everybody was carrying an umbrella - puffs
  13. armchairarborist
    wow thats a biggie, a woman fell through the pavement in my village years ago, similar thing, water leaking from a pipe washing soil away underground, much smaller scale obviously but wonder how many are out there waiting to collapse..
  14. armchairarborist
    makes sense, never saw a bore through, if thats the case then i agree with the opening words of the clip, inproper cuts may lead to death..
  15. armchairarborist
    ah the 'tail' drags on top of the cut stem, making it not fall straight down but carry forward a bit?
  16. armchairarborist
    am i right in thinking the gob was cut, then bored through to create hinge, then the last cut low for some reason i cant work out yet, they jump because the gobs have closed up..?
  17. armchairarborist
    i parked this one in my neighbours garden and they are most welcome to nest in it for a bit, havn't got time to play with it for a few months.. anyway whats wrong with nesting in a tree?
  18. armchairarborist
    cant fell this one steve, its the wifes..
  19. armchairarborist
    stopped to put some air in the disco rear tyre, spotted this unfortunately placed nest, wasnt there a 2mths ago when boot floor was fitted, no eggs or anything maybe due to driving? this car gets used every day, and doesnt usually get parked in the same place very often, must have looked appealing to prospecting tenants for some reason though..

    had some uvex goggles for anglegrinding, like ski goggles, they were brilliant and never steamed up, might get some more for windy days as had a bit of sawdust get past my bolle shades and visor last year and give me a splinter inside my eyelid..
  21. armchairarborist
    oh theres not many big trees left round here..
  22. armchairarborist
    lets do this.. somewhere central (like huddersfield)
  23. armchairarborist
    hope you find something frank, we are doing a birmingham invasion this week, thankfully found someone to accept logs/chip within 1.5miles of job, must be no arbs down there:001_tt2:
  24. armchairarborist
    them plates the spikes go onto have a hidden captive nut that seizes up and spins, if it does it with the spikes on they have to stay on.. on my second pair of protector pro's and will replace with same nexttime, soo comfy

    very lucky to still have its head.. had similar thing with a dead log on the ground, saw went through it a bit quick, looked at cut straight afterwards and instead of wood there was straw inside and then a mouse popped its head out to see what was going on.. lucky mouse, put its home under a nearby holly.
