Sounds like one of them days when you wished you had stayed in bed, we all get em and some more than others, One of late for me arrive on site, tractor wont start, got that sorted in an hour of so, belt broke on chipper so fitted new belt, got going again pipe blew on grab fitted new pipe, then puncture on log trailer, take wheel off and then fuck off home,drop wheel off at tyre place on way home, home for half three,

Hi ,well at least I am not alone , and the matey that I was doing the milling for is a posh banker so he was well chuffed and his oppo was getting paid just to chat and help with moving the slabs that were bloody heavy even at two and a half inch ,back this morning and wondering how much the boards have cracked as all he did was put some crinkly tin over them  I will post some photos later let’s hope today goes better

Blunted the chain 3-4 times per cut.
Charged him travel expenses only and went home feeling a right twat.
Ash......

Get yourself a winch on that mill, makes chainsaw milling a whole lot easier on your back
