80 cm trunk. A Somchai would cost about a grand to take that out using nothing more than a hammer, a hacksaw and oh, probably an allen key.
A cleverer somchai would have probably paid you to let him take it out root an all.
I never do dodgy things here, I won't even climb a ladder. The risk-reward ratio just doesn't make it attractive.

My BiL was using a grinder with a saw blade the other month, it kicked back at him and cut him open from belly button to sternum, looked like someone tried to gut him.

Glad the boys survived intact, easy on the piss though, alcohol kills antibiotics. I had an infected wound here once,it nearly ate away my foot before they got it under control.
