  1. @TIMONMyself and @Steve Bulman have agreed, if you don't like the drumming in this your banned for 1 month
  2. Don't worry about the wetwood its of no concern in itself. What is of concern is the included bark that Garry mentioned. I would reduce the height of the tree to reduce the possibility of the tree splitting at the inclusion. The tree is relatively young and has a lot of growing to do so the landowner will have to expect further damage to the wall. Get a suitably qualified arborist to look at the tree in person
  3. I wouldn't say numerous - not uncommon
  4. Out of the 2 options you give, it would be considerably better for the tree to cut just above the previous old pruning cuts ( so that would be cutting the new growth only, to 2 -3 " above the old pruning points).
  5. This is what you get when you fail to get into drama school
  6. I was surveying at milnrow rd 2 - 3 months ago. What a fucking country we live in. I hope my kids leave this country when they are older. Give them an inch and they take a mile. If this was Eastern Europe or Russia these scum would be dead now.
  7. Utility surveyor? Walking across the countryside seeing what trees need pruning away from powerlines. I can give you a lot more info if you like.
  8. I love you ….. I know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU3vYa_mBDQ
  9. Yes Stubby rock drummers with a Jazz sensibility are my favourites. I also like Neil Peart and Stu Copeland rites
  10. Its actually Phil Collins and Bill Bruford on this track. Chester Thompson plays on most of this live album though. I think Phil sacked Bill as he wouldn't play as he was told
  11. ah yes seen this a while ago -clever
  12. Sufficient - makes me laugh - between 3 and 10 yrs then ? who knows
  13. This is what I would do if I was in the same position. Check if the tree is in a conservation area or covered by a TPO. If it is, I would contact the LA first. If the tree is not protected I would get an Arboricultural survey done on the tree and if it is recommended for a fell, get a tree surgeon to fell it. If it is dangerous make sure the survey states it will cause damage to your property if it falls over. Do not get a tree surgeon that is in anyway linked the company that carried out the survey. I would not know how I stand legally with this but I would take the chance all things considered. The above statement is not a recommendation to you or anybody else.
  14. very good - great drumming - Stevie wonder groove
  15. Its a crown Gall, a benign growth caused by bacteria. Its That would look nice with the bark stripped off and polished up. Might need to season it first though .
  16. Are the wounds not open to fungal infection for up to 2 yrs? If so then perhaps not so important . The thinking on this may have changed now as this info was dredged from the vaults of my aging temporal lobes.
  17. how about that mott the hoople song- alder young dudes
  18. clogs clogs used to be made of Alder
