Morning all, I'd forgotten how scratched you get moving around inside a yew. Vicious dead twigs etc. Dying pine dismantle today only 2 miles away, and I am on the ground. Some nice fuel for the boiler as well. Be good, stay safe.
-
Morning all, Rain settled, looking pleasant for rest of day. Pruning and shaping a yew today. Husband wants it gone, wife wants to keep it, so met half way. As Mick commented, I have found the phone is ringing more agin now. Have a good day all.
-
So you have CRAFT syndrome.
-
Jo-Beau M300 is plenty tall enough with the rotating spout, hence need to raise the bin up a bit.
-
Standard wheelie bin, standing on small pallet with a couple of 4x3 timbers on top of pallet to make sure chip hits the rear wall of bin, rather than going over the top. I have the optional rotating spout, fixed one is a waste of time, IMO. In fact we left chippings on site today, but I have used this wheelie bin setup some yers ago with my previous Jo-Beau. Made the job easier today, rather than dragging out to the road. Would have been OTT to take the tracked Forst into the little garden!
-
Morning all, That is good news. Doing a small job today, minor pruning to a couple of cherries, chipping up a small fallen conifer. Taking the Jo-Beau and hopefully leaving chips for ground cover. If not, we'll be testing the wheelie bin chip receiver.

Morning all, Had a long lie in after yesterday’s lack of sleep. Might do a bit in the garden. Hope Peds is bearing up ok.
-
Morning all, Back from Sicily, flight late, got home 3am. Sorry no pine cone Pete, didn’t go there. Grass has grown with the rain!
-
Morning all, Off to Sicily for 12 days. Be good y’all and hope recovery goes well with Peds.
-
What's the issue with the dust?
-
Good to hear from you Peds. How are you doing?
-
Morning all, Lazy Sunday. Hope we hear from Peds soon.
-
Morning all, Couple of small quotes to do, then chose at home. Hoping to hear good news from Peds.
-
Hope surgery goes well Peds. Keep us posted on how you’re getting on, and hope your recovery is quick and full.
-
Very sorry to hear that Peds. Hope it is nothing too serious. Speedy recovery to you.
-
Morning all, Fine morning again here. Back to pressure washing render it is then.
-
Morning all, Couple of quotes to do then maybe start pressure washing the render at home, now it has had the fungi/algae killer on for long enough. I wanted a light green self coloured render but management got her way and we had a yellow/sandy colour in the end. Still not receptive to my suggestions that she can do the cleaning of it though, bless her.

I wanted to create a slight step underneath to help the trunk move away, same effect as humbolt cut, but even just a little way in the 660 with 36 inch bar got trapped, mea culpa no doubt. I already had two 500kg ratchet straps round the trunk, and a heavy duty strap around it, attahced to tirfor winch with some tension to stop it coming sideways at me. Stood above it, carefully not falling onto saw, used 880 to do back cut, all went well. Farmer's tractor pulled the trunk out of the gulley. The photos don't really show it that well. I was in the shade most of the time. Two of us got it done in 7 hours, including section some large fallen hors chestnut.
-
Morning all, No shorts for me today. Probably got to use 880 with 48 inch bar of all things. Taking down a very leaning ash growing out of the side of a gulley. Trunk starts nearly horizontal then curves up. Can only reach the horizontal bit and only from one side. Ratchet straps round trunk just above cut level and tirfor winch to stop it coming sideways at me. And plenty of fluids!
-
Morning all, Some rain overnight. Woodchip delivery then flail mowing. Looks like another warm dry week ahead.
-
Morning all, Blue sky again. Have a good Sunday.
-
Morning all, Looking at a couple of local jobs then jobs at home. Have a good weekend.
-
Morning all, Swotty here, up with the lark. Going to Evesham to do a favour for a friend I have known for 62 years. Want to get round M6/M5 car park before too late. Bonus is doing a paid job for his neighbour. Have a good day everyone.

This is what I did in the past, and made it clear to any construction firm I quoted for that I would expect payment in full. Only reason is that is made my accounting easier. Going off at a tangent, I have quoted for work today for a domestic customer who wants some work doing on overhanging vegetation from the adjacent unoccupied house which is owned by the HS2 project. I explained that he could try to claim it back from such a big organisation, but he would have to pay me for the work. -
Morning all, Quoting today. Looking at large rhododendrons on a steep slope for major reduction, likewise laurels up to the power lines on same site. Then possibly a very tall conifer with extraction through the house. Think that will have the equivalent of ivy tax added.
