thanks for the positive input guys. the unfortuinate thing for me was i broke my wrist in may so lost a lot of work due to being injured.

 

Im just going to go up the yard and start cutting logs for winter. already got some but not loads.

 

Tried with the grass cutting too.... people seem to rather have their gardeners do it round here. but oh well .

Carry on with posting fliers and look into getting the landy sign written.

 

Again thanks for the input. I knew it wasnt going to be easy starting a buisness , i think i just chose the wrong year to start.

As people have said there are hard times ahead just keep your head save as much as you can, I dont like to say it but people will go down ,so there will be more jobs for those that keep cool and ride the storm

Haha- youre right....I felled a huge twin stemmer today.........of leylandii, and it took me longer to sweep up than to get it down....it must have been way over 11 feet tall, possibly even 12!!

 

Actually it was p1ss funny- he wasnt there when i looked at it, so i phoned him and he told me to go in his garden and i would see the tree in the corner...I had to ask him to describe the garden in detail over the phone as i couldn't see any trees!!:lol:

When not busy I spend the day looking at tractors and chippers on internet, thats work related research, you can pretend that its doing work and makes you feel alot better.
