It makes me cringe to see him up some rotten tree blowing in the wind. It never bothers him though and he always gets it to land where he wants it to. I like to think I've learnt a lot from him but I'm sure what I've done is wrong!Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-12539050120818959112013-02-04T22:33:32.666+00:002013-02-04T22:33:32.666+00:00You kiwis love your big hedges (gotta stop the nor...You kiwis love your big hedges (gotta stop the north easter wind or is it some other reason?). I took all the top branches down using a handsaw (although one for green wood like this) as I think I'd be down one leg if I tried to use the chainsaw up that ladder! some times it might be slower but it's a lot safer.Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-41193864084266815732013-02-04T22:31:13.250+00:002013-02-04T22:31:13.250+00:00Woodpeckers on the house sounds annoying.

As for the Ash trees I hope it doesn't kill them all, there are some which are showing a resistance to it I think (I'm sure someone told me that).Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-80571344321032149082013-02-04T09:29:28.619+00:002013-02-04T09:29:28.619+00:00Our rectory is having all of its huge trees cut

Although I didn't kill them - just made them 3 foot hedge plants instead and threatened hubby with mayhem if he neglected them again! I might add that I used an old handsaw for this being rather under equipped for the job and I still have about half of the branches to reduce to firewood size yet.<br /><br />viv in nzknutty knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325560883289908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-53211064165371149772013-02-03T23:00:39.250+00:002013-02-03T23:00:39.250+00:00We've had a few winter casualties...they'l...We've had a few winter casualties...they'll be down in the spring unless woodpeckers have already moved in...which means at least they are leaving the house alone!<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-36727960792979410232013-02-03T22:30:28.864+00:002013-02-03T22:30:28.864+00:00Sadly Kev it seems that all our Ash tree's are...Sadly Kev it seems that all our Ash tree's are in dire straits anyway.
