  1. not many options really - stick a yew hedge in, slow growing but she will have to deal with it
  2. a face cut on the underside then a top cut which will free it from the rootplate, then winch it out
  3. working sunday then thats it till 4th Jan
  4. :lol:
  5. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY]R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World - YouTube[/ame]
  6. Yeh your right - I do it often -but Im very experienced - and consider the job carefully before I do it. but I can see the other veiw - its not the safest method - you have got to know the rules before you can break them is my conclusion
  7. yeh I would have had wedges to hand
  8. my wife used to have a name for it years ago:lol:
  9. ricky lake - rake bob hope - rope thats all i can think of at the mo
  10. dont think the root plate was up - the trunk crumbled at the base - in my experience cutting at the base on a tree such as this would result in the saw getting trapped
  11. Thanks for that
  12. I dont know if the thinking has changed much - perhaps others can comment on this. As for felling a beech lot depends on other factors such as the proximity of the tree in relation to the people and property. A tree in woodland may be less prone to the wind If there was meripilus all around the bole - then that would be of greatest concearn If you are going to do root inspection then all support roots down to about 4" diameter are going to have to be thoroughly checked - thats quite a task
  13. should be ok - next time if its geting too hot rev up your chainsaw with the tip of the bar close to something and see if you can see any spray comming off the bar
  14. i dont know what access is like - leave it with me - thanks for your reply
  15. A colleague friend of mine needs a hiab and operator sometime soon, for 2 days, picking up some timber - the job is at Northwich Cheshire. If anyone is interested please PM me with your rates Reg Paul
  16. agree with above meripilus on beech is lethal - I know some respectable arborists who wouldnt hesitate to fell without root investigation !!
  17. mycelium? = honey fungus
  18. it happens to everyone - my ratio is about 1 in 20 - under pricing that is
  19. yes rain always sounds worse in the van, and the rain doesnt seem as bad when you have your ear muffs down
  20. I dont like climbing in rain but i would drather have rain than the freezing fog making frost on the trees like we have had this week
  21. just one thing to add - dead trees in woodland are more dangerous to climb than in the open
  22. im up for it whats your tel no reg Paul
  23. good idea - wasnt there a campain a few years ago to do the same -x factor or similar and it worked - rage against the machine got to no1 - excellent
  24. if it wasnt for squirrel damage, would make a good timber tree a fully mature sycamore can make a beautiful looking tree
  25. Hi, how far from Nantwich - Cheshire Reg Paul
