Lopping
Had a house and garden day today. Went and hired a saw on a pole and lopped some branches that were interfering with our telephone line.
The tree looks a lot barer now. But nothing much is near the phone line now which is a Good Thing.
You look very comfortable up there!

September 15, 2009 8:47 AMIt was actually kinda fun - except for the whole lifting this heavy pole thing straight up and trying to saw at odd angles!
It actually felt relatively safe - the ladder was quite stable and was able to hang onto the tree branches as well :)

I guess you just wouldn't tell them ;)

hehe fortunately this is not power, it's just a phone cable, so no risk in that sense :)
