I do love a bit of an auld flame-war. You know, it might be time to consider a MEWP for the oaks if they're really that bad. May lose your profit, but sometimes you just do...but at least you will have beaten the job and can move on.

Khriss you've been a legend. And you are right. I'm having problems with these trees. Going from one to another with down adn then back up etc. Can't climb free cos ivy keeps snapping. 

 

Just delete the insults is all. Maybe just the real insults, not the messing around. 

 

 

Well, seems you’ve put yourself in a bit of a pickle doesn’t it?

 

They are beyond your abilities at the moment, no option to bodge it because the TO will undoubtedly have your number (metaphorically speaking) after meeting you and seeing you up there, so will be keeping a keen eye on proceedings.

 

The only option is to get an experienced guy in to finish/make good what’s already been done.

 

You could try and pass that off as your work on here of course, but it’s unlikely anyone would buy that after seeing the birch.

It took me over 6 months to get the basics nailed, another 6 months to be OK at tree work. I worked for company with an experienced climber who taught me loads (cheers niall BTW). It'll take a lot longer I imagine without that help. You need to invest time and energy learning the ropes! Tickets are meaningless on their own. As has been said get a good subbie in, it will cut your profits but should be seen as an investment in your development.

Making money at tree work ain't as easy as it seems.

Good luck.

God you are a tosser. I have been up there till 1pm today till I got soaked and cold and the wind was blowing the crown all over the place. I'll take HD video just to make you realise how much of a prick you are.

That's me talking. I'll do another video whilst in the tree so you can accurately accept how much of a bellend you are. 

 

And this may take a while but I'll do a good job.

That vid was from the 19th November iirc 9 days ago, what’s the point? (Apart from displaying your limited range of swear words)

 

So far so good on the tree though, if it’s you.

 

Entering day 4 now, hope you priced it well.

No idea when that video was from we've had a funeral, etc etc. It's irrelevant. 

 

I swear to god that that tree work is all me! And yeah it's day 4. 2 days pissing around getting grear sorted. Several hours crapping it. 1 hour today getting a triple prussock stuck in the wet and not being able to figure out how to get out of  it and probably 5 times now re positioning my silky and chainsaw. 

 

Got 3 hours productive work done today and did more in that time that in the last 3 days on the job. 

 

The video proves that when i take the next video tomorrow working on some more crown reduction, that it is me, and you know that, you are just being difficult.

Oh and I love the zigzag OMG. Amazing. 

 

Any ideas how to lock zizsag ito to a tree so I dont have to re ascend to fit cambian saver?

You posted it in this thread on the 19th of November, so it’s on or before then.
