worst storms of the winter coming?

The trouble with the storm of '87 was that every man who had access to a saw was out there cutting and clearing, firewood was plentiful, so it hammered the prices down, so I dont think the pros really gained that much from it, ok it did help one or two, but on the whole I rather have a steady trickle of work than a flood that none of us can keep up with.

i cant be arsed with storm work personally....im getting too old for that....the adrenalin tends to tire me more than it does excite me these days!

 

Nevermind the adrenalin - think about the money you can charge!! Last November we had a storm and I was called out at 1.30a.m. to remove a tree from someones roof - I made £900 in 4 hours!:dancing2:

Agree, use to love storm damage work, although was always very careful not to rush in as many other fools do.

 

These days I do the absolute minimum to make the tree safe, like tie up to another tree etc then come back on a nice day to finish it up. Too many idiots want to do the whole job and knacker themselves up for the other stuff.

 

There aint gonna be any storms anyway, its just a BS story of the day stunt from the idiotic British media. Like last week it was Prince fricken Harry coming back from afghanistan. Its all BS so it is.

 

This is a storm -
