Just breaking the ice.....hello!

[Bloodwood]

Hi, how’s it going, just joined the site so I thought an introduction would be a good way to begin! I’m not the most literate of folk but.....

anyway, I’m 45 and have worked in grounds maintenance, hard landscaping, fencing, and saw mills for the  last 20years and the last 5 in a tree squad which I love!! So I have had used saws to a limited extent and have one of my own to feed my burner but no ticket!

However, I’m booked up and have paid for my cs30/31 and chipper courses in 2weeks! So as with anything I get into, I want to learn as much as possible about it and be as safe and productive as the next man!!

 

thanks for any advice in advance

Welcome Karl.  No doubt you'll breeze through the test with 5 years(albeit limited) experience.  Good luck.

[Bloodwood]

Thank you fellas! 

 

Yeah,  im not very good in test like situations but I’m quietly confident. I can’t afford not to pass to be honest! I’ve wasted a lot of time in life and haven’t made the most of the opportunities I’ve had! However if I pass there are doors open! 

Besides after laying out for decent new PPE and a work saw,  I need a pay rise to recoup funds spent from me stash!

are you self employed?

[Bloodwood]

Alright Craig, yes I am mate, subcontracting to the EA at the minute.
