Katdogs Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Good miss DDD! It was dramatic today watching clouds come over then feeling the freeze! Stevie and I were at Henson park watching the Jets win and we went from too hot in the sun regretting the black tshirt to buying a beenie to survive the last 20 minutes. Bluebags won!

Kirislin Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Obedience trial today at Cranbourne. I swear Dee is saying "What the hell are we doing out in this weather?" So very glad that all in the DDD household are safe that's some ominous sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Gifts Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Geez that was lucky! Maybe Myrtie was looking over you all and decided you'd had enough trauma recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Could be right, LG. I've just been around to see the people whose tree it is and some of it is also in their side neighbour's place . They have been trying for years to get council permission to have it removed and council says no. Drongos... Council that is. Perhaps another request to council with my photographs.

Little Gifts Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I've heard that before DDD and the offending tree took out the side of someone's house during a storm. Council can be quite ridiculous. They let suburbs sprout up everywhere and still want to protect open space and trees and wildlife but don't seem to be very good with the whole risk assessment and planning stuff to enable it to safely happen. I think there was a case on the tv about a council street car park next to a council park in a Sydney suburb. A massive dead tree in the park fell over smashing some cars in the car park and council were trying to get out of being responsible for it. Their land. Their tree. Their determination on the land use too. I reckon your neighbours should just pretend the whole trunk split in the wind and for safety reasons they had to remove what remained of the tree. What if a poor, rare native bird or animal tried to sit on the spikey tree and injured itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Maybe drill a very small hole in trunk of said tree, inject undiluted Roundup into it and uhoh the tree died, needs to be removed now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Amazing what strength and the right tools can do. My neighbour came around and chopped up the branches in a few minutes. It would have taken me all day. He needed the chainsaw (god they are terrifying things ) on one of the branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you had a neighbour who was a cavalier and came to your aid, DDD. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
