[QUOTE="SlimLizzy, post: 2422277, member: 488270"] 22.07 7.20am FBG 5.6 Tree Surgeons!!!! What a pair of clowns...honestly. Really wish I had sent them away when realised they didn't even have hard hats. It was really stressful watching the older, skinny guy clambering about high up in the tree, cutting large branches with a handsaw. (MrSlim called it a panel saw- said it wasn't suitable for the job)while the younger, chubby( that's a kind word for it) guy bellowed instructions from the ground and hauled the fallen branches away. Both of us had to leave the scene of the crime. It was too awful to watch. The final act involved Chubby hauling on a rope, rocking the tree. While skinny used the chainsaw. Skinny had at least got ear defenders, but that meant he couldn't hear chubbies shouted commands. Skinny was also cutting above a safe height for him as Chubby , who is considerably taller had started the cut. Talk about heart in mouth time. We were half expecting the tree to go while Skinny was still cutting. It didnt help at all that after the tree was down Chubby said it might have been ok to leave with just some of the branches off, as it had returned to a more upright position with less weight pulling it over. Maybe a proper tree surgeon would have seen that and been able to save the tree. Feeling really sad and annoyed with myself for panicking. Not getting a proper assessment done. The weather forecast has changed too. No risk of storms in the immediate future. It was the 90% probability storm warnings that prompted the panic. Neither of us wanted the tree down so feeling a mixture of sadness and guilt this morning. Have probably caused us a lot of expense and work and a beautiful tre thst was a resource for willdlife, all because of my tendency to panic. Sorry guys have to post pics separately. [/QUOTE]
