    Anyone interested???

    I started off with locals and then word spread it took a while well 1 year but now I am fully booked for Jan and Feb with a few decent contracts. The more effort you put in it will reward you ten fold but it does take time I used a ad in a local magazine, main work comes through word of mouth as I tend to talk with my clients and take time to listen to there stories and also help them with little things they then see you go the extra mile and recommend you Good Luck and wishing you a prosperous 2014

    It might be a dead log which is very light but yh one lucky dog

    Spear cut it will be, I will see to dismantle most of the crown first with hand held sections then send the top out. everything else from there should be fairly safe as it will be stem sections being dropped. Thanks for your advice, helps a lot knowing that I am thinking the right steps

    Thanks MR_D, I will film it with my helmet cam that way I can post it on here as either an awesome dismantle or how not to dismantle a dangerous tree
  6. A Pettersen-Firewood&Chip
    It will be very tight and it will have to be felled 100% accurately into the spot which if it goes wrong will end up in neighbouring gardens it has one part of the crown leaning the complete other way so I could remove that limb and then fell it but I would rather try and bring it down with less opportunity for error, even if it means be being tarzan With a very happy fencer coming in to fix the mess

    Hahaha always wanted to be Tarzan Thank you I will anchor in the safe tree and reduce the crown and probably do Stephens Idea of spear cutting the rest down if that allows. It is possible to rig from the safe tree but I think It will be better to do hand held bits as you said to avoid any sudden shock to the tree other wise I will end up having to change underwear

    So anchor in the tree next to it and do cut and chuck to dismantle the crown. Thank you Skyhuck for the help and the discussion I feel fully confident with that idea Any idea on dealing with the pesky Ivy

    I was thinking to climb the pine next to it and get a good anchor point. Then spike the damaged tree and remove the crown in one with a rigging line to control the direction and the decent? I fear that this may cause the main stem to fail Would you do this?
  10. A Pettersen-Firewood&Chip
    Yeah, there were two stems and the left has failed and torn out as you can probably see in the first pic it was a compression union. The last 2meters of the stem when I cut it was completely rotten. I can't fell it in one as the garden is to small
  11. A Pettersen-Firewood&Chip
    Pic one shows the tear which is 6ft up the trunk from the ground and the tear is 6-7ft in its self. A little under half the trunk diameter is left shown in pic 2. Pic 3 shows the tree in its self with the fallen co dominant stem which has now been cleared. The tree is located at the bottom corner of the property and where the tree stem fell was into the neighbours property luckily with no damage. The tree in it self moves a fair bit in the strong winds we have and i fear that climbing it and dismantling the crown could lead to it failing There is another pine same height approx 80ft that can be the main anchor point. There is limited space to fell the tree in one. I was thinking to rig small sections down but am unsure if the tree can with stand the forces?? Any ideas??? Or what would you do? I am going back tomorrow to inspect it fully and determine what i would do. But want to find out if you guys have any better ideas

    Acg128 pay no attention to all the comments and only read the ones with the relevant info its handy to post these kind of things as you learn from others how they will do the job. Then for next time you know how to better handle the job price wise. I have learnt through my times in pricing work all you really have to do is sit down write up the costs and add a bit for yourself set a figure leave it and do something completely different and then come back to it fresh minded that always brings reality back to the price and the job as it is far too easy to miss judge a simple looking job and end up having to break even or lose money hope this helps you have done well to secure a good contract from what it seems

  22. A Pettersen-Firewood&Chip
    A fair price goes along way with contracts. If you overcharge you will lose work,
  23. A Pettersen-Firewood&Chip
