  2. Hi, Bit of an odd one, I work for a theatre based in London that will be chopping logs of wood on stage for weeks (9 logs per performance). We would like to give away the wood, however it would be not kiln dried, likely chestnut wood. How do I approach this? Are there schemes in place to give away wood? Many thanks,
  3. Hello all. Are you an established business owner in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk or Suffolk and have at some point considered adding tree H&S surveys, BS5837 work, tender submissions, protected tree advice, veteran and/or woodland management plans to your business services but dropped the idea because its not your bag, the equipment or training requirements or you are too busy with the actual tree work? If so, do let me know if you are interested in a chat about how I can assist your business in these areas. There are plenty of options available - Services completed under your business banner or through my own (often preferred to demonstrate objectivity in work specs), and I have been providing the above for the last 2 decades. Examples, references and cv available if so required. Level 5 Arb (working on Level 6), Professional member of the AA, PTI, DBS clearance, PI, PL insurance etc. Why the marketing blurb? I am returning from a large scale national corporate position to small business again and I'm keen to build long term local relationships with those that see the mutually beneficial potential that exists, and of course unlocking new revenue streams from existing client bases and indeed new client opportunities. Thanks for your time Contactable at [email protected] New domain up soon at www.canopyandcrown.co.uk

  5. spent a couple of days at the Warrenpoint Blues festival with the Groundhogs after TS had gone, they had an American guitar player with them (good but no Tony) nice couple of guys, plenty of tales and Guiness.
  6. I can honestly say Stovax stoves are the worst. I have owned and used over 8 wood burners and the Stovax Stockton 11 has give us so much trouble, smoking every single time we want to reload it. The Stovax customer service was defensive and very unhelpful. I swear I will never buy a Stovax stove again. See the video below. 29403a4d-f56c-441d-b214-8d04868b3b2e.MOV
  7. The small bark stuff sounds great for lighting fires.
  8. We have a client down the end of the road with this on a chestnut, I explained and said it needs to come out (pink chestnut) its still alive now, similar size, canopy healthy..its in there garden so they opted to leave it until it had to come out !

  10. Couple years ago I needed a training teee for my son. I posted in the local Facebook group offering a free inspection in exchange for access to climb a decent sized tree and was inundated with messages. you could make the suggestion that you are doing coursework for college and part of this involves inspecting trees, aerial cavities, structure etc…..obviously an informal inspection with no work recommendations.
  11. After contacting Greenmech UK in regard to purchasing and importing a used chipper from them, I was given the number for someone at Greenmech France, and informed that this would be an easier solution due to paperwork. Not so good for me as the same machines where a good bit more expensive and the main dealer was a good six hour drive away. As usual with France, phone calls were made and emails were ignored, no reply was ever received about my enquiry. It would appear that sales people in France can’t even be arsed to follow up on a guaranteed sale. I managed to buy a used Greenmech Arb 150 privately in France and it’s been a solid investment. I quite fancy updating to the new 130 turntable or possibly a 165D if I could ever arrange a demo. Hopefully I could trade in the Arb 150, if not, I may have a a chipper for sale in the near future and you’re only an hour away from me.

  20. Potato crates? They have small gaps to allow airflow but still keep the wood in, would depend if you had a method of moving them once full
  21. Very nice. Wish my body was 20 years younger still! Used to enjoy that stuff.
  22. Work up front, so to speak.
  23. Was only 210 per arctic load
  24. Mate of mine is thinking of buying this box to live in, and he's asked me to do the conversion. Am I right in thinking I could cut through the bulkhead into the box to create access from cab to living area? My thinking is it would be fine as the bulkhead and box aren't structural. Your thoughts please. 登录 Facebook WWW.FACEBOOK.COM 登录 Facebook,与好友、家人和认识的人分享和建立联系。
  25. Ive heard the Sherpas and ASs are good. The Grillo looks like an Iseki, maybe the Grillo is a knock off. Ive just managed to raise the deck a bit on the Grillo, by moving a 'shut off' so the blades can turn in the travel position. The highest standard height setting was 90cm, which was too high and I was hitting too much and digging into the soil.
