    If Mark posts on here when they arrive we can form a posse, police won't have enough notebooks so have to forget about the wood. Boom it's a plan.

    Surely get in the way snedding?

    If you haven't already, sign up for an account on L&S Engineers website and they then show you all the manufacturer parts diagrams which can be pretty helpful about the assembly.

    Presumably that's this business https://arboraeration.com/ Interested in the outcome, it seems a bit overcautious compared to the normal level of risk something will be wrong when buying a property.

    I said to my son earlier this week (who wasn't born during our blockades in 2000) prices are plenty higher now than they were then. Where are our farmers?

    ... started watching but fell asleep in the armchair?

    I worried about that too, looks more Lidl than Dolmar? @shavey ?

    ... and none of the wiring is LR so all good.

    If the moisture is right then nutrients would be next. All that water poured through might be washing nutrients away.

    Nightmare. Glad mine has absolutely minimal electrics, not even a built in radio.

    That's criminal, people have known not to do that to shafts since the invention of steam engines.

    I don't think they are anywhere near the last few victims, more like dropped the price to get a few starters to sign up. As they say on dragons den, I'm out.

    I'm guessing you haven't lived in the house long. 2-4 feet per year, it doesn't seem to have much competition and maybe has a nice drain to drink from. Remove before it takes over.

    Waste cooking oil? Gates broken at our pub recently and they nicked all the old cooking oil from round the back.

    Without knowing your climate intimately, difficult to say. It sounds a lot of water to me but I live in the UK and we mainly rely on the rain. What about investing in a soil moisture meter? You are right that too much or too little can cause problems, and it could be nutrients, but get the watering right first before you try dosing anything else.

    That's truly terrible - do you know how it happened?

    There is a sampling problem here though, the subsidence happens beforehand so the tree surgeon sees every case. Tree surgeon has gone by the time the heave happens so unless the customer rings up just to pass on news then we are all in ignorance. Builders would be the ones to ask. In the end I agree though, you have to fix the buildings afterwards. If it's on the knife edge of heave then seems to be a risk of subsidence when the tree gets bigger and takes more moisture.

    Maybe the ones off a 572 would be longer? Still the same M8 thread as nearly all saws.

    I've done this, now they do semi chisel which is much better for the job.

    Good ending to a strange tale. Best get it down before something nests and he offers to pay the fines for disturbing it.

    Answered your own question really. Find a decent local log supplier, if you buy larger quantities you should also find the supermarket ones aren't all that cheap.
  22. Dan Maynard
    I like the explanation, but the tree has now fallen over so the evidence is at least disturbed if not destroyed. Is there a proper definition of reasonably foreseeable or is that the argument to have?
  23. Dan Maynard
    I said sleep on it and you might, I've slept on it and I wouldn't - can't really turn out well. I also said be surprising to hear back but sounds like client changed tune. Something still smells a bit weird about the situation but no harm following through with quotation and S211 notice, see what happens next.

    How much?

    Dan Maynard replied to MrNick's topic in General chat

    And beer should be £1 a pint and petrol should be £1 a gallon. Ah those were the days...

    There's a huge rim of reaction wood around the hole so looks like it has been decaying for a long time, personally I think the best you can say is it's unpredictable so probably have to say a fell. Would be a good test subject to measure the wood remaining and winch over to test the strength, see other thread on pull testing.
