Hi Folks,

Anyone know anyone that's handy with awkward / high sky installations? It would appear some neighbours trees have grown too high for where it is now and apparantly I'm not allowed to go cut the fking things down late at night.

Looking for someone that can pop over and offer advice and then come back and actually sort it.

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks Ricki, should I refer to you as the oik with the big red truck hehe

James, the sky dude when he came to do it said it was already borderline as to needing to go higher up and call out the special team that does those so I doubt it's local builder type stuff. If I'm paying again I want it to be 100% this time as I paid for sky because I was fked off with normal reception which is ste because of where we live anyway.

Trees don't affect my signal.....



To help you (and get back at the neighbours), erect a 100ft flag pole and mount a 30ft diameter dish on the top making sure it's shadow (and any radiation poisoning) falls directly on their property.

Either that or man up, camo up and get those trees down. Remember, if you can't hear a tree fall, does it really make a sound (not sure how this fits in but it's the only proverb I can think of about trees)?

If it's over your boundary you're legally allowed to trim it back I do believe.

Or... inject them with some total shrub and brushwood killer then when they die tell they are unsafe. wink

Thanks for the helpful advise and otherwise hehe

It's not on our boundary, there's a public footpath between the two houses, and I'm all for 'maning up' but apparantly thats not the done thing.

Accidentally spill some Diesel over the roots...from what I am led to believe, this will terminate it. You always alert the Environmental Officer at the council afterwards that there is a tree that appears to be contaminated and they might send their Tree Surgeons round to "fix" it.
