Things you hate?

[Mike Hill]

Trees that had been filled with concreate.

 

Why would that ever have been a good idea?

Just wondering what are the things that really get on your tits with a job/work?

 

This week I had two jobs with trees on old hedgelines. All had to be climbed and dismantled before I felled them. When I started the felling and logging I kept hitting nails, wire etc and god I got seriously pi**ed off, sharpening every 5 mins is not much fun!!

 

Whats are peoples dislikes?

 

i hate customers who are over the top with the hospitality.

now we all have flasks and we will take a break when we have done enough

not every 10 mins, groundys dont mind though.

the way i see it is 6 x 10 mins break is a hour lost, being the boss i would rather get the job done and go home.

its a pain coz you dont get any sparks or sounds, the saw keeps going then just gets really blunt. mostly found it sycamores round these parts

If you really dont know it was considered "good practice" yonks ago when a tree had started to rot and hollow out. They thought concrete would help the stability of it and stop or slow down further rot.

Another one was to use wood preserver and varnish on stem wounds ie where they had been hit by a car etc.

we were working in a ladys back garden, shite everywhere, i shouted up to my mate (loudly) "watch out when you come down, theres **** all over the place"! i turned around and the customer was stood there with tea for us! i think she was more embaressed than me though!
