Trees Behind Caravan 2021

December 17th, 2020

6th Feb: remove last part of overhanging ash

31st Jan: Cut 2m of stump

29th Jan Another 2m+ removed from overhanging topped bole in the centre of the image below.

On the image below you can see the stick of ash protruding over the track. I used 7m of ladder resting on the wall. I was standing on the top of the ladder so some 10m head height but I used a climbing harness to hold me to the tree. It's the first time I've used the harness and it makes a lot of difference. 1 I felt safe for the first time for the best part of a decade or more and 2 it gave me more options to position myself :)

13th Jan: 5m of overhanging ash topped

7th, 8th, 9th & 10th Jan
Cut a large pieces of ash, hazel and hornbeam.

Jan 10th: Bole of hornbeam cut from hedge

Overall view of area behind caravan and workshop: Jan 7th

4th Jan 2021
Roped top of next ash to be topped to another tree to help guide it's fall.
Top of ash roped to help felling direction

31st Dec
Cut a single main branch that would become the bole of a previously felled main trunk of ash.

17th Dec
Cut a few branches of a hornbeam overhanging the entrance to the field.

16th Dec
Cut small ash to make room for next to the west.

FTTP > Track Access Box

July 16th, 2020

June 7th: The ducting of for FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) has been incorporated with an access box in the track that hacks in to the BT (Open Reach) telephone conduit. There is then a narrower plastic pipe under the boundary wall to the back of the workshop.

June 8th: I've fitted analuminium pipeover the plastic conduit to help protect it from damage, especially that of any strimmer or brush cutter work.

Position of box relative to workshop

Position along track on descent

July 16th: Added removed soil to concrete margin.

July 17th: Tamped and wet soil.

Oct 19th: Turfed and growing nicely

Nov 25th: Covered completely

Thin wood was laid to cover the cast iron lid, so will have to wait a year to see how it fares over the dry periods.
July 16 - 17th: Used stones from rubble to level parking slot

July 16 - 17th: Rubble roughly level; will require time and vehicles to settle and compress.

FTTP > ELF Conduit

July 8th, 2020

June 7th: The ducting of for FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) has been incorporated with an access box in the track that hacks in to the BT (Open Reach) telephone conduit. There is then a narrower plastic pipe under the boundary wall to the back of the workshop. I have fitting an aluminium pipe over the plastic one to help protect it from damage, especially that of any strimmer or brush cutter work.


Section of aluminium scaffolding pipe used as a sleeve to protect the plastic duct fastened with large guage 1.125" copper pipe flattened and fashioned.
Plastic pipe trimmed down to top of aluminium sleeve and foam packing used between aluminium and plastic pipes and wedged around the cord used to pull the cable through
