Big ol' Pine tree leaning about 45 degree angle
Doug Tait replied to crskub's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
That's one possible way of seperating the trunk from rootplate but there's likely to be a lot more involved to 'get it down' than one cut, and an awful lot to go wrong in the process. Have you got photos of the tree, and what equipment/experience do you have? -
Bet it was round the back door too, less conspicuous

Morning all. Another bright morning here. Woke up hearing the birds singing again, the days are getting longer, little Cassie still doing well, very nice. Have a good one folks.

Laughing so hard at that Stephen thanks, fantastic. Have a great days flailing!
-
Morning all. Calm frosty morning here, meeting a mate for breakfast, lovely. Have a good one folks

Thought it made a lot of sense. Adipophilia (had to look it up) and a satellite view of something huge on the planet's surface seem to go hand in hand!
-
Thanks Maybe, received a message not long after this morning's post so there's a positive direction to look in. Fingers crossed.

It's Bob z l, a member here who recently handed in his notice with no plans for what to do next!

Morning all. Last day at work today, did a "Bob" and called an end to things. Not been very happy for a while and I've always thought life's too short to be unhappy. Said I'd stay until today as we've an arb assessment day, there's some talk of going back for certain stuff freelance but I'm not sure. Got no real plan as yet which may be a daft move but we'll see. What direction to go? Not seen anything interesting locally and not sure about travelling for work again but who knows. If anyone happens to know of something I'd love to hear about it! Anyway, for today at least I'm off to be a compliant Arborist. Have a good one folks.

I've heard there's a coffee shop in Englandshire that only takes bitcoin. Everyone free on Sunday afternoon? The boss is buying...

Reminds me... Teacher asks the class "can anyone give me a sentence using the word Contagious correctly please" "Yes miss" says Mary. "My mum said I can't go near my brother just now because he has measels and he is contagious" Teacher says "well done Mary, that was excellent. Anyone else?" "Yes miss" says Tommy. "My uncle got ill while he was travelling in Africa and had to spend a month in quarantine because he was contagious" "Again excellent, is there anyone else?" Neil puts his hand up. "My mum asked my auntie at the weekend for a lift to the shop. When auntie said would dad not mind because he was at home anyway, my mum said he was cutting the hedge and it will take the contagious.

Sky worms are the worst kind.

He's looking in good form Alex, good to see.

Morning all. Woke early too Stubby. Think it was the strange dreams about beautiful roses wilting in the presence of a mighty thistle, no idea what that's about. Have a good day folks.
-
Thought it'd be Mick that picked up on that.
-
Morning all. Lovely day here too, calm, frosty and lots of sunshine. Rugby day for me. A visit from the auld enemy and the Flower o Scotland really needs to bloom! Have a good day folks.
-
Morning all. Off today, not much planned, but there's a definite feel it's a full breakfast at the cafe kind of day. Have a good one folks.
-
Don't want to cause any resentment at all but been in a t-shirt most of the day here in sunny South Scotland!
-
Does sound bloody painful, but lucky not to break anything (apart from ladders!). I've probably said before but my worst fall was from the 2nd rung of a set of those ladders, foot slipped through the rung and I went backwards landing on my head. Wasn't right for days, my mate still says I've never recovered consciousness. Hope you mend quick Maybe.

Wet morning here, and windy, but turned out nice.
-
Been in the wars?
-
Considered but ruled out
-
Morning all. Second attempt at clearing a tree from a cauld on Gala Water this morning. Bit too deep and fast flowing to reach it last time, got half way to it but no closer, hopefully today. Have a good day folks.

Leftover stovies are good for that, lovely fried up with eggs.

It really couldn't.
