Semi panicked calling from the other side of my workshop door while I was welding.
"Dan, that's tree's come down in the garden."
Stop everything to go look.
Yup a rotten old birch (c.30 years) with dome interesting fungal growths 20 foot up has snapped off at a main bifurcation and half of it is now hanging over my fence into N-D-N's garden.
Lots of sawing to get the remaining shard holding this half of the tree to "let-go".
Finally got it down and heaved it all back over the fence.
Lots of "told you so's" from herself and me just shrugging and saying, "Well? It's down now."

Reminds me of the tree in a garden not so far away from us that had been deemed "safe" by the council. The same thing happened to it as happened to yours, only it was a big branch that fell across the street and onto the top of a parked car the other side of the road. It did it quite a bit of damage. :eek:
I'm hoping yours didn't hurt your fence or anything belonging to the neighbour. 🫰🫰🫰

That is a shame. Borked in what way?
Black Friday and all that you may be able to get a noo one cheap. I got an electric, (wired not batt) Titan from Scroofix a year or two back for £40. in a sale. It works just fine and will be going to France to replace my Titan petrol one which worked fine for years until the chain oil started weeing out as fast as I put it in. Still starts, runs and cuts, but the chain oil issue makes it a pain to use.

My little 16" Bar Ryobi fails to switch the brake off and overheats. All the parts are as they should be, but following the cutting of a lot of Eucalyptus there is a rock hard gummy deposit in the brake drum that I cannot shift, so it is always trying to STOP.
I can release the brake ONLY if I over stress the release mechanism/position by pulling it past the "free-to-run" stop with a cable -tie. Not ideal. :(

Oh dear.
IPA, acetone, WD40 no good?
Is the drum plastic or metal? Prolly a dumb question, the one on mine is metal.
