    I use to be in the same situation my farther got a gang of steel erectors to hammer me into shape. Mind you I did wonder what was going on when I got dragged out of bed by my feet at 4am on a Monday morning and taken to Scotland to work. 5 years later i became a ganger and started taking other troubled lads away to work bit of a motley crew but we did put a lot of steel up they use to earn as much in bonuses as wages. They have all gone on to have family's and lead constructive lives. Sadly the ones that helped me have all passed on rare breed of men

    I did it before but it didn't work out. A few people really helped me after freds accident so I'm just returning the favour.

    I cut the trunk in to 4 pieces of what I thought would be equal weight his tele refused to pick up one and just about lifted the rest that's a 2.5 ton machine. With the forks he had I could get a fair pile of cord on and there had to be a ton on each of the 15 trips. Plus 3 spud boxes of dead wood put by his bio mass boiler. We were going to cut a ruff bench out of the bottom of the trunk but it had rot and most of the hart wood had gone shame.

    No it's clean isn't it the 12 ways new as there was a slight problem with the old one. I've had to work very hard to get all my gear and like to keep it tidy. If you look at an earlier picture of my tree surgery saws some of them are 5 years old but still look clean and tidy. Nowt wrong with a bit of OCD

    To be honest it was my first thought but there was so much dead in it that we would have had a couple of hundred square meters of half tidy lawn to clear. We contained the dead bits at the rim of the tree and had it cleared with a loader in 20 mins. I also wanted to see our new climber in action on the bigger stuff I'm pleased to say i was more than impressed.

    Mulching creates thatch which is never a good thing if you want a fine lawn anybody mulching should aerate/ scarify regular to get oxygen down to the root system.

    Ive not judged you i was guessing big difference i find your attitude a little off, very defensive. I don't know you and would not judge you until i had spent time in your company. Lighten up i was trying to get you to share your experience to get a better understanding of the situation if you don't want to share thats fine. Injoy the rest of your evening
