    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, 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.

    Morning all, Day off today. Walkies with wife and let my eyes settle after two days of ivy stripping to see the tree beneath it.

    Morning all, Cool and clear here. Working today with mewp to help another team dismantle a willow. Opposite a primary school on a small lane on outskirts of village of Alton. Yes, where Alton Towers is. Need to get through the village before all the 10ft wide Fiat 500's cause bank holiday gridlock!

    Morning all, First stop is to buy some more sun cream. Then minor conifer and hedge trim before it gets to full heat. Stay hydrated all.

    I have a 12ft Ifor tipper with high sides. I used to tow it with a remapped Td5 Disco 2. If the trailer was pretty full it would like to try and snake above 45-50mph, and that was with good nose weight. On a weighbridge with it full to the top with chip fresh from felling (can't remember if it was conifer or deciduous) it weighed in at 2990kg. Go 12ft every time I say.

    Or in PeteB’s case sunk ream.

    Morning all, Don’t forget the suncream.

    Morning all, More odds and sods today. Log processing in the barn once it gets hot.

    Morning all, Odds and sods day today. Wonderful weather again.

    Simpler method is park facing up hill, drop the tailboard and then drive forwards suddenly. They say necessity is the mother of invention.

    I did similar a few days ago to stop the trolley jack rolling around the load bed. Note the lazy man's tool for pulling it out. Unfortunately I didn't have yew or walnut to make the box with, hence use of plywood offcuts.

    Morning all, Yet more blue sky. A restful day today. Brought back some nice firewood yesterday. Enjoy the day.
  24. maybelateron
    Possibly horse chestnut?

    Morning all, Off to Nottingham to section down three nice sycamore stems and bring back some good firewood for the stoves. Have a good weekend.
