Leigh is running a bit late after having to wrangle the kids.

I won't cut off anything until we have the camera etc set up.

Grant

OK, we are semi up and running.

Leigh is just taking some shots.

He has just informed me his battery is running down! I presume he means his camera.

Grant

We should have the worm going so we get real time approval rating.

Grant and Leigh, first of all, thankyou for giving us the opportunity to see this restyle in almost real-time. We are indeed fortunate.

I hope that you opt for either option 2 as skecthed or for option 3, in my opinion this tree does not have the trunk weight or taper to be convincing as an upright tree, despite it's impressive age. The aged bark and the way that the trunk exits the soil would be assets to the design if it is to be styled as a Semi-cascade and I am looking forward to seeing some 50 year old wood being bent.

Hi - Its Leigh ! Grant is a little busy! Ha ha

We are under way - I have some before shots which I will put up next. Just downloading some software to Grant's laptop to be able to run the videos.

Cheers,
Leigh.

Okay - here are some before shots.... keep you posted.

crazy roots i see a couple of options one is a upright wind swept to the right with jin to the left or a sought of semi cascade dropng to the right with jin up to the left as for the cascade dont know how youl go tilting it to much with those roots but what ever you do it will be a corker

Hi everyone,
