  1. What about the part of the house thats in the firing line? should he throw that on a set of roller skates and move that when its windy as well? All valid points here and also if you want to be sure the tree is sound inside then you should maybe think of getting a scan done on it. I would still go for the reduction and brace for peace of mind and a set of heavy duty roller skates
  2. I wouldnt put anything on it. I may however clean up the rough bits carefully with a knife to give it a better chance of healing over but other than that it doesnt look too bad, just keep an eye on it. Time will tell
  3. I heard that if you use normal powder it can damage your rope! i was told that you should only use natural soap flakes if you need to use a detergent of any kind. Personally i daisy chain it and hang it up, then blast the hell out of it with a water jet. I tried washing it in the bath but it was more hastle than it was worth, then i noticed when i was rinsing it with the shower that i was getting more dirt out of it so thats what gave me the idea.
  4. Nice one! I hope i can make it. I stay in Edinburgh so thats close enough for me
  5. I guess i should have included my email in there as well oops... [email protected]
  6. I am based in Edinburgh and can ground for you, I am a freelance tree surgeon but i will do ground work as well no problems. I will email you my general letter i send out to companies.
  7. I have been working in Rome, Italy for the last 5 years and have recently returned to Scotland. If there is anyone out there looking to hire my services i am available. I am freelancing at the moment and have 20 years experience in the job although i have held my tickets since 2000. I am based in Edinburgh but i am willing to travel if need be. You wont regret it
  8. I would say brace it to be safe, maybe take a little out of the sail as well but if you are so worried, brace it. Other than that fell it and plant a cherry
  9. works fine for me too, why go to all the trouble of cleaning every bit of oil and greasy stuff off it when its going to be back to that again after a days work? A good blast with an air hose to get the worst off is all it needs and maybe a bit of a scrape to get some tough bits off
  10. Hi all, Just joined in today and am a bit confused with it all but seems like a great bunch of loonies here Freelancing in Edinburgh if anyone needs an experienced climber just give me a shout...
  11. I am freelance as well and charge 100 to 120 per day including saws and equipment. To be honest for my 20 years experience i am shooting myself in the foot but at least the phone calls are coming in. All in all our profession IS underpaid for the risks we take and the health and safety **** we have to go through, we should be getting 200 to 300 a day at least!
