+10 MAN points!

Thank god, I can have a wee now! LOL

Good work sir!

Like the stump/free bird table 😉

Choptastic.

Well done that Man!

A happy ending. Well done that man!

f**** woo and hoo!

have one of these

now altogether everyone:

*for he’s a jolly good feller, for he’s a jolly good feller…..*

Anyone else feeling a little let down? 😉

Hmmm, has your pool room got a nice log fire?

Can see another project in the planning 😉

Yay! You are STW’s conduit to manlyness. Better build yourself another log store.

I like the way that you’ve protected your head from 10,000kg of falling wood with an orange plastic hat.

I know what portlyone means, we had wanted drama, suspense (literal and actual), a degree of panic and people rushing about shouting “don’t panic….. keep calm… ” a lot. But what do we get, ruthless efficiency Well done! You are legend.

Have tree surgeons been found out? Have they been selling snake oil to the HSE obsessed?

Top job 😉

hurrah, IN YOUR FACE TREE!!

well done. but something has been bothering me while following this thread: what is a pool house? is it the place you get changed in next to your swimming pool? if so, where is the pool? or is it a place you play pool?

i am confused.

The Medal, Cloak and Mantle of Awesomness should forever remain around theneck and shoulders of Surf Matt.

I’ve started clearing up. As the sun is setting, it feels good to be alive and out doors.

woop!

good work that man!

I have to say that I think I would quite like McMoonter’s life.

what is a pool house?

Little more than a folly. It is located bewteen two pools.

Here’s how I built it.

This and the balance bike thread are my fave things on STW in years. 😀

Good work all. As the old thought experiment goes:

“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear start a thread on it, does it make a sound?”

Top work. 😀

RIP Beech tree.
McMurderer.

*raises glass* – except i’m in work so it’s a glass of water 🙁

Good work and I’m glad you survived to tell the tale! You can tell Forth Ports they can go ahead with the biomass plant at Rosyth now and you can keep them in fuel for the next decade or two; probably without putting much of a dent in your log stores!

Top work! Well done fella (double meaning there!)

What’s your next brush with adrenaline going to be?

Excellent work – did you decide what sort of tree it was in the end? Beech or Sycamore?

What’s your next brush with adrenaline going to be?

Watch this space. What elastoplast for……?

EDIT. I think it was more Beech than Sycamore.

Best face the music over at Arbtalk.

I must admit, I am finding it hard to temper my jealousy of McMoonters lovely home with my admiration of his tree felling skills.

#conflicted.

I quite liked mcmoonters sidestep of this problem over on arb talk with his ‘I’m an artist not a merchant banker’ line!

The boy did good!!!

‘Pool Room’ I was expecting somewhere used for playing a game involving sticks and balls. Not a room for surveying your swamp!!!!

I’m alive, the Pool Hoose lives! Hooray.
Well done.

I have 7 words for you

‘Gordons Gin and Tonic in a Can’

nobody in the office will suspect a thing

Well done.. great job… there I was saying get a man in and by the power common sense, its job done!

Nice one McMoonter. Showed that tree who’s boss eh!

*heads over to Arbtalk

class diy disaster me thinks
No wonder we are short of work with so many experts.

Arbtalk as bitchy as STW shocker 🙄

Nice one. Just how big is your garden estate?

How did you get the wire up the tree MC? front of the fergie?

How did you get the wire up the tree MC?

Whisper it, a 30ft ladder. It was waaaaay too scary to climb.

Well done McMoonter, top work! I’ll say it again, (despite getting whinged at at the start of this thread) Proper man stuff. Well satisfying. Bet you are glad you didn’t just get a man in now, think of the cash you’ve effectively earned, you can treat yourself to some shiny bike stuff now with a clear conscience!
