Well no I didn't I did a decent job off pruning it, got loads off without any injuries, but decided it was to dangerous for me to try and drop the main trunk,

Had a knock at the door yesterday tree guys working a few gardens down spotted it and wanted to giver a quote for it, so he had a look and said £250 to cut down and remove it, so I thought sod it that's a good price, so after living with it for 25 years, it is finally gone

hung onto a ton of logs for my mates log burner, save him a few quid lol.

Very sensible you have done everything right except keeping the logs. I don't want to ruin your day, but your mate will probably curse the free conifer logs when his chimney tars up or catches fire. Fir logs are the worst for tar and resin even after years of curing, sorry !

Well my advice is get it done before they get to big, £250 was ok in my eyes, about 4/5 years ago before I had done anything to it, I had two people quote me to cut it down, was said £400 the other was £420 now that I thought was bloody expensive.
