I’ll be retired, so collecting on that might be problematic.

Should be an excellent day ahead, started a two day job yesterday, thirteen dead or dying spruce at the bottom of a garden A combination of the Avant, the big Schliesing and some teamwork meant we did all 13 yesterday, just a few hours clear up today hopefully. Sliding into the weekend in style!

Au contraire. I am just in favour of a holistic approach, involving important factors including. Species. Health and expected lifespan of tree Context. Targets. Clients desire to retain the tree (important one) Clients age and plans for the future. Clients understanding of the ramifications of a reduction cycle and how it will look afterwards. I’m not a fan of the ‘nice tree, wrong place mate” dogma

Interesting old thread. If anything the big 2 have tightened their stranglehold on the saw market. Despite a lot of the talk from 11 years ago. Only the echo 2511 gets a place on the trucks of pros. Battery saws may well change that though.

I doubt it’s been topped, no rot pocket in the crown break. It’s been overlifted/thinned. It is reduceable if they want to keep it. have to go back to live growth on one of these.

Co codamol is too strong for me, and moré importantly it interfères with my natural functions, which makes preparing for work difficult.

Big moon indeed! Saw boar yesterday morning on the dog walk, then a fox this morning, Igor caught the scent and showed a bit of interest. Knees sore atm, needed ibuprofen to get a good nights sleep. Otherwise all good, finish up a job today, work slow but steady.

I appreciate you quest for truth. But you’re watching them the wrong way round.

Looks foul.

Rope must have been partially cut beforehand, or more likely cut during the work. No way that climbing line would snap lowering anything off that tree.

Who is a lot cheaper! Being cynical of course, as I’m currently training a lad who is less than a third of my age. I hope within a year or so it’ll be quicker for him to do the tricky stuff, he’s already doing well, but it is a gradual process, with mistakes along the way, not all his of course, but ultimately every thing is my responsability.

And what is in it for the expérienced guy?

Interesting, thanks.

Sorry to tell you that it’s beautiful again here today! I’ll do some mowing in the field, and tinker in the workshop.

Threads like these are quite common. You usually get a variety of replies. A. It’ll be fine, just take it out. B. Pay for a structural engineering/arb consultant to assess. 3. No one can say for sure, people shouldn’t give opinions over the internet based on photos. My take, make sure your gutters and down pipes are clear so water is getting away effectively, and take the tree out. Trees die all the time near houses without heave. This is free advice and as such is worth what you’re paying. Opinions vary of course.

Can you put up a photo?

Yes she has. I was watching an episode of KUA last night. Was very good, but every episode was the same. Had the writer developed the characters more and placed them in different situations, it could have been as good as Only Fools and Horses.

I ended up getting one, brilliant tool Pulling a willow out of a river, using a redirect up a sturdy oak. No way your pulling that out with the machine alone d39eb903-dcc8-4861-ad66-f1f63694e38d.mp4
