Orchard

Looks like a decent day pal, in the best place now lubricating them joints up!?!

For the first few months at least!!!

Great example of a thinning job, looks like a top job! 😉

Spot on Jon, I don't really understand what happened but it made me laugh either way. Hope nothing or no one is hurt 😉

Nice one 😂😂😂

Yer cheers Geoff I've taken your advise.

Yes it comes off but I don't plan on doing it too often! Looking forward to it dulling down a bit to be honest!! :-)

A local housing association has asked me to look at a lime overhanging one of their properties, I would say it's overhanging the house by 3 meters, almost touching and in line with the ridge line. The residents are concerned about it coming down on the house but have also made numerous complaints about dead wood falling into their gardens, the residents have also tried killing the tree and have had people in to prune low branches which have been done poorly with a pole pruner. The tree has a tpo on it and the council have said it can be crown lifted and reduced by no more than 1 meter! Obviously I could rock up, do the job reduce it by as small amount as I can, fire the invoice in, job done everyone happy! ..... Except the residents. I agree with the council to some extent the tree was there before the development which is now 2 years old but should a maintenance plan not be in place by the housing association to stop it getting too overgrown in the first place? A 2 or 3 year pollarding programme would be ideal. I know if I carried out the councils suggested actions I would be victim of verbal abuse from the residents and surrounding neighbours as its a bit of a hostile area too but I want to ensure safety of the residents and carry out work which will allow the tree and residents to share the garden. What's best, try and fight for the best result for the residents or just do the job as instructed by the housing association and be off??

Yer, they seem to knock out some pretty smart stuff! The quality of this is a1 couldn't get better, no knocks or vibrations when its empty either.

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my new n&j linings chip box for my ranger. Any comments welcome, personally I love it and I think it utilises the back of the truck perfectly for chipping into, obviously the ultimate would be a full on tipping chip body but there would be a hell of a difference in price with not much benefit in cubic capacity so this is s good start. £700 fitted.

I'll hopefully catch you before then, can feel a visit to gods country coming on??

Enjoy your break pal :-)

Have a good week Paul :-)
