This came to mind, a mistake that could have gone terribly wrong. In the Netherlands it is not allowed to take down a single tree over 10cm in diameter without permission from your municipality. Takes about 6 weeks to get, the public is allowed to react also. To many leaves or shadow is not an option!
But getting to the point. A houseowner who had 9 beeches (diam 70-90cm) in a row in his backyard. When I passes by I saw the crane which was going to lift out 3 trees in total. Since I knew the cranedriver I stopped for a small talk. All of a sudden he jumped out of his crane and started running and yelling. What was the case? He could see the man handling the chainsaw through the windows of the house, and he saw in which tree the chain was attached. THIS DID NOT MATCH! Postive note for the treeowner he got rid of an additional tree. |
