    If there was a persistent soil moisture deficit when the house was built and its a clay with high plasticity heave is more likely no matter how you do it. The soil will have been shrunk, house built on top and once the tree has gone will probably expand. i think the first step would be to get information as to the PI of the soil, not all clays shrink/swell to an extent where damage occurs.

    It is. Of the HC I see up here with it, it seems that they are generally coping with it. I can't remember having to remove any because of BC, it's just present in a good percentage of the population and has been for years. Guidnardia is endemic though, most trees have it and it's re-colonising year on year, so what affect that's going to have is still unknown.

    I'm so glad it was you, I thought I'd lost the plot after reading the thread twice.

    Where are you getting fruit trees from?

    Or he's up the same tree as the fella trying to retrieve his plane?

    Not sure but the equivalent to a £600 fine
  11. Gary Prentice
    We know that too

    I have to disagree. Mark's the most sensitive chap I know.

    No real idea, apart from it looks plough shaped. If you say crawler were used for ripping post felling, might this have been used for creating furrows to drain wet sites what with the floatations type tyres? just a thought.

    Is your missus related to my wife?

    personally I don't have an axe to grind, leaning left or right. But I can't think of anyone less suitable for the job. Well, on second thoughts, maybe Wayne Rooney would be slightly less suitable.

    Better late than never! Did you ever get an explanation as to the delay?

    I think the term is 'competent'. I'm not sure that there is official training and recognised 'certs' you can do or not.

    Don't come back to the forum and start causing trouble. Apologies to George, my response was meant to come across as more light-hearted than it reads. Maybe Steve could add a means of saving articles like this for those interested in the subject. The problem, as I see it, if they're stickied we'd have pages and pages of articles and if the title isn't more specific they disappear in time to distant pages and then aren't seen.

    I wish people would be clearer in their posts. Are you meaning NK or Trump? How did we end up with a reality tv star of dubious morals, ethics and intelligence as Commander in Chief of one of the worlds largest nuclear powers? I suppose it could have been worse, the writers could have elected to use Krusty the Clown or Mr Burns in that episode instead

    To be fair then, as a PC & a tree warden you're wearing a different hat, which changes the situation somewhat. Wearing those hats imposes statutory duties and changes the available options.

    d) accept that customers are like buses, there will another along in a minute and you can't compete if they won't pay and are prepared to cut corners. Still annoying when you've invested time and effort in the quote, but you can't win them all ( unless your working for peanuts)
