Very cool. Although if they were my buildings I'd call [url= http://tree-monkey.co.uk/ ]Tree Monkey[/url] and get him to drop it in sections. (Disclosure: I'm a satisfied customer of TM).

Impressive stuff. He's lucky it didn't bounce mind. Not that impressed with the H&S side of things though.

Pffft. Pulling it out with a pickup is the way to go:

Been thinking about taking it down in sections. If you're 95% confident you can bring it down in just the right spot, you're better off doing it once rather than lots of times, you've got more ability to scamper about and adjust with wedges on the ground than you would at height; the potential for it falling wrong is less from ground level than at height, and your sheds are just as f****d with one tonne of wood on top than with 100.

[cynic] What I'd like to see is the shot from the other direction, where there's 180° of open space to play with, and no sheds which are probably due to be taken down anyway. [/cynic]
