    How does any timber 'feller' worth his pay cut that giant down without even beginning to ask questions....?

    (Oh, hang on...perhaps its the same guy that cut for the pentecostal church (in a thread in the DIY section) which now denies liability.

    Can anybody do those clever blue link thingummys for me :D
