Title: This was a first
Post by: Roger Oakley on January 23, 2014, 06:32:46 pm: Had a call last week asking if we could clean a Forest!!!!
Anyway went to look at the job, and yes it was a Forest, part of the Crown Estate and was used for Lapland UK, Had 2 machines in at the weekend and cleaned as much as we could in the time we had, around 1000 linear metres, removing the fake snow off the live trees.

Couple of photos of the outcome.

Yep, thought it was someone having a laugh, but looked at it, quoted it, and doing the site for the next 2 years. Unfortunately the elves had left, so no help from them.
