Cheers Doug, thats a big help mate 👍

Got a client thats had a pine topped (not our work) leaving a large stem that he's wanting carved for his grandchildren. Been down the usual lines of enquiry, however everyone is too busy to take the work on, which is great. Clients been made well aware of decay that will set into the sculpture overtime etc, he's just wanting something done with it. Anyone here based around Glasgow that's interested?

Maybe been discussed before...but if you're using two ropes in a canopy and one of the anchors fail dragging you down, whilst still being held by the remaining anchor...whats the procedure?!
-
Good points, well made. However there's plenty of good operators working without 41 before it was made a ticket (I've got mine BTW before anyone jumps on me) that are superb climbers.

Pantera

Seems im the retard if that's the case 🤔

I think SEPA will probably want to talk to you before the squirrel god. Are you that retarded you admit to heavy metal poisoning squirrels on a public forum?
-
Me also. I always remember the saying, and I'm not sure who said it but; "teaching a child not to squash a caterpillar is just as important to the caterpillar, as it is to the child"

Random one, but.......how many of you remove insects before cutting. Obviously not removing all insects, just if you see a spider/slater etc crawling where you're going to make a cut?

Problems and issues this industry faces and how to deal with them.
Excels1or replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in General chat
I think pricing within the industry needs to be addressed. An age old problem, discussed ad nauseam. Rather than a Arb Ass, perhaps we need a union.....there, I said it. -
Anyone got any solid proof that after 6 weeks with no word from the LA then you're good to crack on? I've heard that the 6 weeks is guidance only, and that they can extend as they see fit

Just started felling 12 large Sitka spruce from a private woodland. Is it worth hiring a skid to drag the timber roadside for a timber merchant? Also, what length of is the timber typically cut to?

He does make some good points, however he's as subtle as a bus hitting a toddler

Read the article. This guys a c u next Tuesday. He managed to obliterate any good points he tried to make by being a massive Fud

Killing some Conifer trees to let Ivy grow up them
Excels1or replied to DTaylor's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Not being cheeky but this is just like listening to every client that doesn't want to pay to get a job done properly! I'd kick them off the forum -
Its less expensive to have someone qualified to address the roots now, than to have to remove the tree later down the line
-
👌👍
-
As above. You need to have an arborist out to remove that girdling root.....you can water it all day but the roots are restricting water and nutrient flow
-
Good for them. We don't do cedar shaping anymore because clients always expected a "Christmas tree shape" even after explaining that if you go past the secondary growth it ain't growing back. Management of customer expectations is difficult sometimes 🙄
-
I think there should be a televised event where the whole of Westminster are chained to the wall, and a starved hoard of squirrels rip their nuts off and store them in a tree....
-
Could it be immature Greasy Bracket Aurantiporus fissilis.? They tend to grow from wounds.
-
Sad times mate, we're over Glasgow way, I know you're in Edinburgh, great reputation. Hopefully things pickup soon
-
What now?? Hung tree didn't come all the way down... !!
Excels1or replied to Bosty Dave's topic in General chat
Pay someone who knows what they're doing will probably be cheaper in the long run -
For sure!

Indeed, it seems like there's a lot more folk out there that will undercut and do the job nest day!
