Dempsey Tree Surgery 🇬🇧🇫🇷 (@dempseytreesurgery) • Instagram photos and videos WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Dempsey Tree Surgery 🇬🇧🇫🇷 shared a post on Instagram: "Noble Fir removal in Charras. This was the first paid job I ever had in France when I deadwooded and lifted this fir in 2005. This time...

Yes of course, loved it. Was just about the only show on TV that had a countryside theme. These days you can’t move for them.

They get similar reviews on FB (GC) Rarely seen a firm so universally reviled.

Now that’s a job for a Blackhawk!
-
Saw bits and bobs of that on IG. Very impressive. You do get the idea that’s coming out of the public purse, so that’s why you get the Blackhawk.

Be retired by then hopefully!

I had quoted it with a cherry picker in mind. Not Lombardies, hybrids with some biggish awkward limbs. It became painfully clear in 1/2 hour that it wasn’t going to work, picker too small (17 meter) so on go the spikes and harness and up I went. Didn’t quite catch a cold on the job, but certainly didn’t do as well as I should have.

Well…this is a bit embarrassing!

Re. Chinese influence in Africa. I think the Africans look more kindly on the Chinese taking their raw materials in return for some infrastructure as opposed to colonial western powers who just took it, called them primitives and fooked off when they’d had their fill.

I was very happy with the Uniforest, sold it now, but did a lot of good stuff. It had a manual, string type operation which was a bit Heath Robinson but much cheaper than the hydraulic operated version.

It’s a free market economy. There’s loads of arb jobs about, all round the world. No one is trapped, if you think you’re not getting what you’re worth, there’s never been a better time to change.

Sycamore / Birch root removal to prevent regrowth

Just use eco plugs and have done with it. A cordless drill and a cardboard box and you’re sorted. -
Sycamore / Birch root removal to prevent regrowth
Mick Dempsey replied to david_T_Nairn's topic in General chat
How are you planning on extracting the roots? -
Education no, that’s an indicator of social demographics. Educational achievement such as a masters degree is a pretty fair indicator of intelligence.

Therein lies the rub. Don’t work for those people is the answer.

Birch doesn’t give out sucker regrowth, maybe a bit from the stump initially, but that’ll come to nothing. Sycamore will sucker from the stump, but not from the extended roots like Poplar or acacia. As Stubs says, a grinder will solve your problems. -
So that’s about right? Jeepers!

This is in a Scats country store type shop, so obviously going to be a bit pricey. But took my breath away a bit. Told the wife that she’s very lucky to have a husband who has free, dry firewood aplenty. She said there has to be some advantages to living with me, which is fair comment.

Best of luck to Cassie.

Not every time, that would be exhausting. But when post easily disprovable bollocks, I will point it out. Watching BBC news right now, report on the pipeline leaks as I write. Fwiw (very little) I can’t see why the Russians would sabotage the pipes. All they have to do is turn the taps off to achieve the same result, why bother blowing them up or whatever? More likely the Yanks or even the Ukrainians, they’ve most to gain.

Add it to the Tories if you like.

First page on the BBC news website, after a hurricane in the US and Russia annexing some bits of the Ukraine. Not sure what more some people want

Agreed, polls are if not meaningless, then transitory at best. But a new PM should really have a bit of momentum behind them. Bit of a dead cat bounce more like in this case.
