  1. Past hour
  2. Have a look here at what the 3 series huskies are selling for: Chainsaws – Logs and Saws LOGSANDSAWS.CO.UK So it might not be not a bad idea...
  3. Do what most people around here do, get out of your caravan, go to printers, feed them lies about qualifications and sort out a made up address, get them to print some flyers, bomb every house in any given area then just pitch up and butcher what tree you like and rip the customer off financially while a 14 year old absconding school stands in the business end of a chipper in white traing shoes with no PPE. Boils my piss.
  4. Get rid of it and replant will something else to fill gap. I had a customer with a row of Thyia that did the same, topped them and with in 2 months I was back there to fell them.
  5. Talking to a lad that works for a large civil engineering company, they have the same problem with boots. He bought same boots for years and then they were crap. Must be a chemical that has been band they were using to stabilise sole and have switched to something else that's not any good.
  6. Today
  7. I am also struggling as to why modern Arb firms are spending thousands on training and lost work days. I paid my own way through my RFS, left college in ‘96, started working for a small family run business. No one on the books had ever been on a training course, yet they managed to teach me more than anything I learned at college, how is this possible? I have taught young ones on the job to gain their tickets for twenty years before becoming an instructor, how is this possible? If you are too busy to train your staff in house, your either crap at business and chasing profit or raking it in, if it is the latter you can afford to cough up for the training and time off. I can’t understand why an experienced climber can’t mentor a climber/cutter on a slow day, you are only teaching the very basic principles, the assessment schedules are all on line, if you haven’t got the ability/knowledge to do this then you need to go on a refresher yourself, or question why you are even in this industry if your skill/knowledge level is so low.

  9. You make an important point there.
  10. Yesterday
  11. This ones good on similar note - perfect sound track also
  12. Come on Trumpy, it was only one call., I'm sure you've been bogged down with renaming mountains and gulfs an stuff but it's time to put on your big boy pants and show your mettle.
  13. Hello Mark, Thanks for your response, agree with your opinion, sounds like good common sense to me. Regards Mark
  14. oh well White supremacist and members of neo-fascist group among ‘January 6 patriots’ pardoned by Trump WWW.THEJC.COM Another rioter who had their conviction quashed wore an antisemitic sweatshirt to the Capitol, while clemency was also extended...
  15. Low and slow on the heat and flow....and don't get me going on why electric is 4X the cost of gas meaning a COP of 4 is needed to break even. I inherited the pump and is offset by the PV panels FIT otherwise heat pumps are not worth it unless you are a true eco warrior and want to bankroll the saving of the planet. Heat pumps are actually pretty economical, around 3500KW on all electric we use other than space and water heating, the same....3500KW on heat and water heating where 12,000kw of gas would be typical for our house.....cost wise...errrr....the same, fantastic! Why don't the people trying to get us to go for these pumps just lower the electric cost for them I have left out two years of trying to get the most out of the thing!!
  16. Yeh, is a good price Nah, tom at TMA
  17. Stir fry - might add noodles and sweet and sour sauce!
  18. Very thorough, you've got to give them that.
  19. No fcuker round here is in it . Don't think they even know what it is . We are out in the sticks a bit here but everything is how it was before it was ever conjured up .
  20. Yes it does have one nut holding the bar on but it has never come loose or undone. It has a 18"bar on it and it seems to cut a lot better with the 18" rather than the 16"

  23. I'm not worried about stinking - we all know tree work + sweat = stinky. I have had to take a break many times when using forecourt petrol for my 2 stroke in larger saws, typically 462 and bigger. Admittedly not a problem off the ground, but can be a real problem when ringing up a large trunk, or the last few slices of a tall stump. My eyes were stinging and watering, and chest felt affected too. Now it's Aspen all the way for me.
  24. Hello guys, apologies if I've posted this in the wrong spot. I'm trying to get hold of a cheap copy of this book, can anyone suggest anything? https://www.summerfieldbooks.com/product/manual-of-tree-statics-and-tree-inspection-english-edition/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAnKi8BhB0EiwA58DA4WmO1bhR0CDIeJjXZ88z533fxkv4yusmftM5fCEm4-cPuLbW1gcq-hoCOrcQAvD_BwE
