  1. It was growing on the outside edge of a group of trees and was leaning away
  2. The stump of a once leaning WRC
  3. From a tee shirt design point of view tho, mine always come untucked from my trousers leaving me with a cold draught around my middle, especially when climbing. Could you design and make a tee shirt similar to a baby's vest that do up with poppers underneath your bum? I would actually buy this!
  4. Polo neck tee shirt in the summer with 3 year old stein jacket if it rains. In the winter two tee shirts, fleece and old stein jacket if it rains. If it's really cold then as many tee shirts and fleeces as I need. ( these then get taken off left on nearest tree/fence/ garden chair and then subsequently forgotten! Note to self - buy new jacket!
  5. Maybe I should cut out some props to prop it back up again then!
  6. I'm not going back to measure it but it's about 2 feet diameter at the bottom and it's six foot up to where the first large branch was removed previously. It's in a village between hungerford and Marlborough in wiltshire
  7. Would anybody be interested in this yew? There are two options to move it from the garden, you can get into the field behind and lift it out with a hi ab or it could be milled into boards in the garden with a chainsaw ( which I can do) and carried out
  8. Monday Is the 18th
  9. Can you get the jag moved?
  10. Agree, sub it out. Add a bit on top and it's effortless profit. Sub all mine out now. Mind you I hate grinding
  11. Just a guess mark but I reckon it would. The 12mm ply board which I temporarily screwed to the top of my greedy boards supports me ( as long as I keep near the edges) that looks slightly more substantial
  12. Thanks for all of the replies. I will go back to the home owner and tell them what could happen if they have it felled and suggest that they get a structural engineer to look at it. If they still want to go ahead can I just get them to sign something to say that I cannot be held responsible if their house falls down afterwards? The tree is in a conservation area and they have notified the council who have no problem with the tree being felled. Yes it is a nice stick and milling it could be an option. It's a bit ironic really- if it was further away from the building It wouldn't need to be felled but could be, but it's too close and it can't! Thanks Will
  13. I have been ask to fell and grind the stump of this yew tree. My only concern is that the tree is very close to the house, on clay soil and is much older than the house. I'm guessing that if I remove this tree all at once it could cause heave and damage the house. Would it be best to reduce the tree heavily now then fell in a couple of years time then grind the stump a couple of years after that. Thanks Will
  14. Great mines working too. Thanks steve
  15. We are coming to Pembroke camping this weekend mate, but it won't fit in the back of me ranger to take it home!
  16. Can't help you with this mate but -HOORAY! THE APP IS BACK!
  17. Just realised today when using my Stijl blower that it can be used left handed. Before when my right arm it tired of blowing I've held the top handle with my left and it sucks yer trousers into the fan, but- if you lock the throttle to flat out then turn it upside down you can use it left handed. so well done Stijl on making a left handed blower.
  18. Mine still says this
  19. Not sure original poster will read this now, although it's given me an idea for my own thread !
  20. A gardener that I was working for today 'borrowed' my 150 to cut a climbing rose from a pergola while I was off tipping chip. When I got back he said to me 'what a great little saw I'll have to get one of these, like' (he's from Newcastle) 'there dangerous though, arnt they, I nearly took my fingers off!' Plus when I used it later it was blunt. so training definitely required
  21. Monday, we had a bonfire in the garden and then next door neighbour brought in her son and mother and cooked us marsh mellows on the embers
  22. Nothing about how to chop down a tree, which lets face it is why we all want to do this job!
  23. Rubbish! Just tried it, doesn't work . do I need to delete it and install it again?
  24. Looks good! I will be storing mine in a poly tunnel if I ever find time to move the pile of rotten sleepers level the ground and put one up! if not they will be stored on pallets under corrugated tin.
  25. Consider a timber wolf 125 or is it a 160 now? i have an old 6inch petrol entec, and although it's nowhere near the performance of a 230, the big Benifit is that you can push it into places that you cannot drive your truck- it has saved me many a long drag. I would like to try a new 160 just to see
