That’s Pampas Grass, allegedly, so I’m told by a friend!

Swift recovery peds- keep us posted 👍

Leave it till winter- just not worth the coughing, choking, potentially vomiting. No employer should be asking you to do these in the summer. only minimal work if it’s an emergency then as Mick says above 👍

As woody says, you may need a felling licence for over a certain amount of cubic meters per quarter. Whereabouts in Essex are you? I’m in Chelmsford and have a JoBeau200 you could see in use.

Rob D from chainsaw bars sells Panther chains via eBay as well as direct. I’ve found them good so far but my climber has had a couple of rivets snap so you pays yer money and takes yer choice I guess.

Laburnum is great firewood 👍 if you can stop it splitting it’s sought after for wood turning

Saw Motörhead twice in the eighties and nineties when I still had hair - absolutely brilliant and legendary performances 👍

As spud says - bamboo travels a long way and is a b……rd to get rid of effectively

Keh?

Can you name and shame them? Might be other stolen kit they have listed that could be returned to rightful owners?

Did they give them up voluntarily or did you need to apply a bit of persuasion?

Bark looks like Ash to me. Have you any close ups of the leaves?

I’d make sure I was there on the day it gets installed. Had a similar situation with developers next to me - full blown told them to F off when they were going to pull out my less than 18month old 6ft close boarded fence and install a 7ft one further over into mine to “straighten the line”. Bollocks will you! Made them erect their fence almost touching mine - not fussed about the height. Then I planted Leylandi and Laurels all along the boundaries. They hated me already as I purchased two gardens that they were after to put another house on. I offered my neighbours the same price and I’ve planted it all up with fruit trees interspersed with log storage structures

It’s the op who has the house in Portugal 👍
