frontier guy

its for this tree and another one over next doors way dont know if its plus vat, its just what I could pick up from the heated discussion outside the house. if they want it cheaper il let them know the offer of £1950 lol

Well the council turned up last friday with all the toys, tractor, crane truck full of workers and shortly after they got here a old chap came up and started kicking off and claimed ownership of the land and told them where to go when they said it was going to cost 2k to get the trees down so they have been given till this fri to sort it themselfs or they are coming back and doing it and billing them! and so far I have not seen anyone even come and look so they might be hoping the tree just goes away and not have to pay to have it taken down.

Well the council have been and had a look and they are going to try and find the owner and if they cannot be found quick they will get it down. Result!

Thanks for the replys, I have tried the emergency number all day. I have called the highways dept and they said the forestry section are off till mon so they are sending someone round this eve to assess it and they can decide what action to take. Its fallen in a good place and hung up in a crotch so it should not go far but there are a few branches just sat in the mess so hopefully they will deal with it tomorow and make it safe. I will get a pic up when its light!

Hi again, I have had a 15-20m ash blow over into another tree and its stuck there and we have no idea who owns the land but there is a public footpath and road/track under it and I have been trying to call the council all day and left a message but nobody has called back. Is there anything else I can do as I dont own the track and I dont know if I have any right to cordon off to stop people walking under a tree that could come down at any time. I do not have the funds to sort out this tree and I think it will miss our house but I am concerned about a risk to the public. Any ideas? Its Leeds Council btw.

I burnt last years christmas tree tonight, if its wood its going in the burner.

If you want quality then you need an ad like this, Wood to use as Fire Wood / Spare Wood / Scrap Wood / | eBay

Ask yourself this, do you want it or do you NEED it now? If you need it buy it do the work and accept the fact you are buying a old car and it will need work doing either by you which is cheap but you lose your weekends or you blag/pay mates to do the work and you spend all your weekends working to pay for the ongoing repairs. If you dont need it then sure look around and eventually you will get a minter at a good price but coming up to winter there going up in price again. This is coming from a Lada Niva owner of a few years!!

If only it was that simple! I have contacted the council so I will wait to see what they say and go from there. Now just need to find the scumbags who seem to have been flytipping at the end of the road:mad1:

The BT line is holding the tree up:lol: A huge branch came off another tree 2 years ago and im still putting it through the woodburner now, that took out the line then but they were not fussed when the came and fixed it that it was going to happen again.

Thanks for the replys, thats good news, I will push on and see if I can dig anything up on the owners first. The road is private and not part of the highway but it does have public footpath right of way so do you think the highways would be any help with it only having access rights for pedestrians? HCR, just in the fact that nobody has planted the trees that are causing prblems and nobody seems interested in maintaining the boundry fences etc. I have done a search on land registry when we bought the property and I have the docs for all 3 main landowners around us and its nobody in the local area and if I search on the direct area all I get is "no infomation" which is annoying! The only other thing I could find was a more in depth search which cost a fair bit.

Right this is a bit of a tricky one, we are lucky enough to live in a woodland but there has been no managment of the woodland in front of our house and there has been alot of self seeded trees grow to quite large trees now. The first problem is we know who owns the first meter of the land but behind that it is old ruins of some houses that we think were knocked down as part of the slum clearance years ago. So the first concern is the big leaner that is covered in ivy and I have no idea how it has not come down yet by itself. If I have it looked at and its classed as dangerous and needs to come down and I cannot find the landowner do I have any right to have the work done or am I stuck untill I can find who owns the land? If I find who owns the land is it there responsibilty to have all the trees made safe (others have dead wood that will come down in a good wind) or is it down to us seen as its us who want them sorting out? (the leaner is (just) between our house and next doors so it wont come down on the house but it will do a fair bit of damage to other things if it does fall down!

I would drop it into next doors garden then run off:lol:

Just wondering if anyone sells small amounts of wood (sub 1T ) that comes straight off smaller jobs ie if its on the way home they might be interested in dropping it off to me to cut and split for my own firewood needs? The problem I have at the moment is that all wood to go in the store has to go through the house and down a set of stairs so I dont want tons and tons of wood to cut and lug at any one time! Would it be worth asking around, it would not be a regular thing just enough to keep me going untill I can gain access to the log store not through the house. Im in pudsey, leeds if anyone on here is doing any jobs round here soon

Hi all, I have just got hold of a Jonsered cs2152 and it has really low compression (60psi) and I have had the jug off and there is a huge gap between the piston and pot, its about 2mm. So i was thinking the first thing to change was the jug and piston but I cannot get hold of a jonsered part so I did some digging and it looks like some husky parts might fit and I can get a kit for not too much money so does anyone know if the kit fould fit? The part number from husky crossmatches to the gasket only so I have had no joy there! the husky kit is for a 346xp. Any ideas? and is there ment to be that much of a gap there? and if not how does a saw run to that point of wear?? I could push the piston back in with just nipping the rings in with my fingers!
