Selling my kit and winding up my business

[eggsarascal]

Hi everyone, ive not been on here for a long while now. It is with sadness and a heavy heart that im selling up and finishing my small arb business.

3 months ago I suffered a burst appendix and peritonitis which knocked me for six and quite litterally nearly killed me.

After 12 weeks of recuperation and reflection I have decided that I need a change. My kit is listed on Arbtrader under my profile name of Yaffle trees so get over there and check it out if your after a 130 tipper, chipper, stump grinder or road tow logsplitter.

I am going to continue with my love of trees and timber but I shall be taking a step away from arb work and focus on timber crafts (another passion of mine).

Hopefully this will be slightly less demanding on my body and cause me a lot less anxiety and stress (a problem that running an arb business was causing me to suffer with, for all sorts of reasons). After all life is too short and I want to enjoy every minute of it!

I know they say once an arb always an arb and im sure this is true so i'll be arbtalking regardless of what I do, but expect me to be lurking in the timber and woodcraft forums from now on!

Cheers

Pete aka Yaffle

 

Good luck and be lucky mate.

Wow, tough break, see it as a door opening.

[Pete Hart]

Thank you all for the kind messages of support. I'm excited about the change but squaring everything away and drawing a line under things isn't quite as easy as I thought it would be!

 

Word of warning to anyone who ignores symptoms of appendicitis..... 7 hours of surgery was required to save me from snuffing it. Don't be an idiot like i was thinking your tough and you can put up with any pain!!! The surgeon told me to make sure I bought a lottery ticket on the way home.

 

Any way, I've got chainsaw oil in my blood so I won't be going far!

Good luck, and best wishes your health has to come first

I was ill fifteen years ago and had to take couple of years out, it will pass

Sounds like a close call there, your health must come first.

 

Good luck with your change of plan & hope it all works out

Glad you're on the road to recovery and hope the new wood business goes well.

[Andy Collins]

Yaffle, all the best for the future. I know only too well how hard this job becomes following major life changing (and saving) surgery. I wish I had the skills to do something else, but I didn't listen too well at school, so I'm stuck with it. Listen to your body, don't over-do it. Best wishes.
