Whats wrong with that, I think he did a very good job ! I have spent a lot of my life felling timber and a few years ago a friend asked me if I could fell a tower crane with the gas instead of a chainsaw. It was next to the main railway line in Ashford, needless to say I declined the invitation. (you do know the man clive but I won't name him) Ken

That reminds me of the late Fred Dibnah, in one of his books mentioning the 'Mad' brigade who would undercut the demolition people on chimneys - hacking away and not knowing to within a couple of minutes when it would come down :dizzy: :D :D

Your right Clive , thats why im broke and the man in question is a rich man. I did fell a 60ft long dutch barn though, I cut the steel and Sharon pulled it over with the winch tractor, it floated down like a parachute. Ken
