[ogri48]

I've chopped very few trees down, but I've built lots of houses..and last week I had a bugger of a wisdom tooth out( still aches!).. Them too gotta put me somewhere on the scale of manliness.. :o

I was quite pleased to take out the sycamore from next door's garden... 

He's not going to be too pleased when he gets back from his holiday though, is he? :lol

£2 a stump  :eek  You mug    That's it after reading this thread I'm off out to chop this fucker down .....For fun :lol

My wife would hunt you down Dazza... for even thinking of TOUCHING let alone cutting down an ancient tree (she works for The Woodland Trust)  :evil

Tell her not to worry, I resisted the urge to chop it down.  Just carved my name in it instead. 8)

when i brought my house in 93 ( yes still there) there were 15 laylandi ( however you spell it) in the back garden all 20ft plus
it took me weeks cutting them back bit at a time all the waste had to go into a wheely bin ! finally when I was nearly finish all down to 6ft high and the roots dug round I had a load of plaster board delivery craned over the back fence slipped the bloke a tenner and he pulled all the stumps out for me ! easy !  I dont know what you lot are making all the fuss about dont work harder work smarter ! :pokefun

Tastefully I hope, italics and everything.

I've only cut one tree down with an axe, an elder to put up a fence. Bastard thing still keeps shooting though despite the copious amounts of stump killer, salt and explosives. Think I'll have to get my boss over with his tractor.

The council made me remove my conifer because the roots were poking through the path. I used a small hand axe 'cos it was all I could afford.

The stump's still there so no man points for me.  :\

No I have never used my chopper to cut down a tree--it's too blunt for that kind of thing. :pc
