Conifers

[Tree-Fela]

HI

Works going smoothly nice few jobs pruning a few sycamores, beech, lime, walnut a few oaks. Went into work today to be told i was topping conifers all day. URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH conifers have brought out a rash on me right arm and a few good scratches. Next job which is a conifer i am going to request what the value of it is, so i can just straight fell the ****** and be going to the next job. Sorry for the rant but conifers just do me nut in and god forbid there the ones that pay the bills.

 

Just thought id have a rant sorry to bring it up.

Arm chaps? think their American.Probs look a bit poncey but if they save your arms?

It's money, you'd be complaining if you weren't working at all!

 

I've come home with both arms completely red and feeling like they are on fire, get some soothing cream with eucalyptus oil in and it will be gone.

 

I love working with connies.

I topped 65 sitka spruce in a day once an over 40 the next. My arms were red raw, I loved every minute of it though.

we once did half a mile of 40'ers down to 20' for a chicken farm

 

middle of summer, all i had on was a vest ( i wasnt as fat then) ,was covered in rash.

 

as you said in your original post. connys pay the bills.

 

come late spring they'll be 75% of our work.
