Thanks for the concern lads...I've worked since school

and not being able to do anything or providing for my

family is already doing my nut in!!!!

Thanks lads...looks like roughly 3 months out of action

pics as promised lads...enjoy you gore fans

Well because the big ladders hadn't been replaced I had

To climb the hedge even though I'd already voiced my

Concerns about the hedge not being stable enough......

Halfway through I fell through the hedge went mad and was

Told to have a minute and get back up as I got up within

Seconds of trimming a branch snapped and that's why I'm here

Now I

Still in hospital waiting on op index is hanging by a thread just

Below the joint and my punky top is hanging aswell...

Devastated tbh putting a claim in definitely...lads birthday this week

And I'm gonna be potless.

Just hope some people keep this in mind and it's avoids some

Injurys then maybe I can take a small positive from all this

Already documented it and got pics....tbh if your boss

Pushes you to do something dodge....throw the bloody

Hedgetrimmers at him

Thanks lads! Its just one of them things or so everyone

Keeps telling me

In hospital after slipping in a hedge and mutilating my hand. Not

Happy to say the least....going to be a good few months off workI suspect :@

. So to all who only worry about the saw causing damage learn from me

And be careful....post pics soon as I'm out of this place

i once bit a beach lateral when whipped in the face on a cold winters morning.....resulting in a chipped front tooth needless to say the tree won

unlucky mate.....but well done for owning up the ammount of people on monday that will think twice before cutting with a saw . so infact you have probably stopped a few people from injuring themselves.....hope it heals soon

hiya lads ive been climbing a few years now and for standard pruning and dismantling im pretty decent.....but ive only done one piece of major lowering n feel its time to start getting some techniques and different knots in my head.

If you feel like sharing some of your experiance or just general tips would be appreciated cheers:thumbup:

theres a drop on the otherside of the hedge but im just happy i nailed it lol:thumbup:

only the one pic lads has we was rushing but to say it was my first time lowering i did fine. Thanks for all the tips and advice really helped when i was topping it and feel tonnes better now

thanks lads due to high winds im doing it tomorrow instead .....ill post some pics up after im done if your interested

only just started doing biggish stuff and now we're tackling sum ninety to a hundred foot pops next to a busy road. Jumped up this afternoon and got roughly about half off.....any tips picked up by you lads would be greatly appreciated!!! cheers:thumbup1:

stuff it!!! can't lie to myself any longer got to buy one

cheers for the heads up!!! just downloaded it now and so far it looks like a good read pal thanks

do as much loving as you can...... because you'll never do as much as you want

i may be completely wrong with this but my boss told me about squat oaks he used to do

regular work on and they fit this description. By all accounts they were purposely made that way...... like i said i could be wrong B)

i know mate sometimes it feels like its a timebomb waiting to go off but you just got to put at the back of your mind

sorry i meant id rather anchor on with a shoelace than go in one of them things

RIP mate

turns out he was on a cherrypicker and it fell over crushing him....isit me who would anchor on with a shoelace than go in one of them things ???

Some good pics there lads!!! Unbeliavebly there's a worse tree next to the customer's house and they don't want it down...... Madness eh

last year we had some dick fly round a corner and basically the hopper ended up on there bonnet. i stayed a sleep through out
