    oooh, that's solved the problem of my second manky apple tree. The only DIY Mr TM has done is to convert a brick outhouse into a bar (fully stocked, anyone care to join me?) and right outside is the old tree. Therefore I propose chopping it down and turning it into a bar table - the trunk's about 5" diameter.:D

    We have a portable bar-be-que so we can wheel that near the bar, so no-one has to move very far. (Sounds like the summer parties are on us then - bring a bottle:beer: )

    There's now a fully fledged bar in Judi's garden, a 'brick outhouse' has been changed into one in Ticklemouse's garden :eek:

    :D

    We've all got ideas how to kill the other half :D make a shortcut from a patio to a bar ...

    But how's this tree going to meet it's maker?

    :D

    (I'd say back as a bird table or whatever but I'm so off topic now I'm nearly next door :rolleyes: )

    :beer: lol
