Removing a Tree
"Rusty_Hinge" wrote in message k... The message from "Sheila" contains these words: "Rusty_Hinge" wrote in message k... .. We were asked by the warden of a Scout campsite to clear up after an enthusiastic bungler made a clearing by cutting down a number of trees. Tee Hee, I read that as enthusiastic bugler...... Blowing your own trumpet? We had a lot of fun-(not) , when we had to remove our Willow, which had split in two pieces, was intertwined , and had a diameter of 12 feet, I mean probably circumfernce, the actual trunk. What, the bole or the canopy? Or do you mean circumference? The biggest trees we ever took down were two poplars which were somewhere in the region of 120 ft high, and with a bole diameter of six feet. The cuts of our 36" Pioneer power saw *JUST* met in the middle... the tree guys took it down to 5' and refused to do any more, it was hollow inside, 'Tree guys' reminds me of the two Irishmen who see a notice: "Tree Fellers Required". "Pity," says Pat "that there are only the two of us..." Just why, I wonder, would 'tree guys' not want to take the last five feet down? I can understand them not wanting to take down everything *ABOVE* five feet... I dont really know, think they had had enough! As far as I remember, they said it was to wet for the chain saws, think it just frightened them! As I said before, above the thick trunk, the tree itself had split into two huge branches, intertwined round itself, and was rotten inside, After our attempts at burning the rest, we got a Soldier who worked at the local range armed with a chain saw, and he took it down to ground level for us, (think he was a bit mad, and the practise with the chain saw vented his anger) Then my hubby armed with a chisel dug out the channel for the fencing! its now hidden under grass, and doesnt cause us any problems (we hope) -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
