Hope were talking 'Love' of the Brotherly persuassion here John.

Fella in the middle looks like hes a puckering them lips up for the sort of action Rowan Williams aint to fond to chat about :scared:

And I'm not prepared to even start thinking about why the young fellas looking so petrified :scared:

 

Just Kiddin with ya Johnny, looks like you've got yourself a tight looking team there.

How long you been together? :wave:

 

We're talking about the 'love' only dedicated Arborists feel for one-another :scared: Tom is a nice lad, we've taken him on as an apprentice, (doesn't even shave yet!) Chris, in the middle was a good 'catch', and I'm lucky to have him. Richard was seconded to the team just for the day (he's an old’ forester type)

 

I've been here 7 years now and still very keen to lead by example and not spend too much time behind the desk (although I wish I had coz my back is killing me today!)

I think using a MEWP is only satisfying when you have a challenging access problem getting the MEWP into place.

 

I got the mewp round the back of a building last year after, taking it through a 925mm wide alley, down a steep muddy footpath, then right into a gateway with just enough room to slew it round, down a 45 degree grass slope, turn right over a broken down drystone wall, then down a flight of stone steps, across a lawn, over a 1 ft wide trench which had been dug to lay a pipe, underneath 20ft of scaffolding and then set it up with one leg on a wall and another on the third step of the entrance steps.

 

Should have got a medal for that one, coming back up the steps the mewp actually did a wheelie on the back edge of it's tracks, brough it back down by extending the boom gently.
