I hate wires!

 

[Mick!]

Where's the bucket truck?

 

[Tucker943]

Did someone say wires?

 

[stig]

Oh, yuck!

 

[Maximalist]

Where's the bucket truck?

The bucket truck was not involved. To obtain a permit to operate the bucket truck on a narrow one-way street you need to wait for permission of Traffic Police two weeks. I do not like to wait long ...

How tall is been this tree?

I like the snow retention fences on the roofs and the size of your downpipes.
One could almost think you were used to getting some snow in winter

Understood.

How tall is been this tree?

55-60 feet.

 

[Maximalist]

55-60 feet.

1 feet=0,3048 m x 60 = 18.3 meters.

My tree was 34 meters

Nevertheless of wires you have more

 

[Mick!]

No it wasn't 34 metres.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Great series of pics!!!

 

[Maximalist]

No it wasn't 34 metres.

Well, let my tree will be less than 18 meters

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Really tihgt. Nice job Andre!

 

[pantheraba]

Andre...how long did that tree take to get down? Not cleaned up but on the ground?

Great work, by the way!!

 

[Maximalist]

Andre...how long did that tree take to get down? Not cleaned up but on the ground?

I worked for about 5 hours.

 

[pantheraba]

Sounds good...thanks.

Had a consultant in yesterday to do a Picus test on a Horse Chestnut yesterday, client is desperate to get rid of the tree but I don't think it's going to go her way somehow.

 

[Mick!]

Looks like a lot of inclusion, I know on AT its heresy but surrounded by houses like that you be better off felling and replanting.

 

[Peter]

I think it's actually two separate trees. It's a stoopid place for a tree, but it's one of a handful of large prominent trees in this village, and the TO is unable to give consent for removal without strong evidence, hence the picus.

 

[squisher]

Is it cabled?

Height makes rigging easier. That's amateur knowledge. Ill rig out a tall tree any day over a tree with targets 8 feet under the limbs. Act like you know.

 

[Peter]

Is it cabled?

No cables, has been reduced quite heavily in the past.

Has the Chestnut moth made it's happy way to Britain yet?
Or the bacterial cancer that is killing them off here.

Horse chestnuts are in trouble right now.
