polly

Hi Jay d and shaggs,

yes my hubby tied it up with three ropes and a pulley system on the neighbours tree then we tied a spare pole belt around the crack at the base, but it was still a bit hairy, however he managed to get it down safely!

I am definatly doing what you suggested in the future and getting them to sign the quote to say we take no responsibilty for any damage.

I hate those jobs. I never know whether to go down and watch or stay in the office and sweat it out not knowing what's going on.

Safety of our people is of course the most important, one of our employee nearly cut half his thumb off two weeks ago plastic and re-constructive surgery etc, chainsaw kicked back straight towards his face and luckily he put his hand up to stop it. You have to look on the bright side better his thumb than his face, so now he has his first war wound.
