  1. Already checked sawmillers, no one nearby
  2. Give these guys a try Epic Tree Care | Morayshire Sawmill | Sawmill Directory SAWMILLERS.CO.UK Hardwood boards, beams, turning wood. We usually have a large stock of all of the above, with a...
  3. Not to worry, logistics would have been a pain anyway, but thanks! So its ok for planting in etc, and not just for use other paths and drives?
  4. Looks like it! The fact its white is also better as we are putting down white stones. Any little gaps won't show as much. I'll have to check but I reckon all in all somewhere in the region of 20m2
  5. Guy Watson’s doing the one bca are running, that’s why I wanted to go with that one
  6. Small job at home, wanting to lay down stone and plant a few small plants and shrubs. Have used several different membrane before and they have varied considerably in quality. What’s the best to use from those of you in the know?
  7. The 3 day course is the one you want. I am thinking about doing the BCA one in September. Will most likely fail it though!
  8. I did it a little over a year ago as it was a requirement for a contract(that I never ended up even doing). Yes it is very basic and with 25 years experience in tree work i'm fairly confident you will learn absolutely nothing. it is more aimed at people who might work on country estates etc and can spot potential problems which can then be referred onto an actual tree surveyor.
  9. Pipe dream. There’s only 1 solution to climate change and no amount of summits will change that
  10. I think the days of cash being much of a bargaining chip are quickly coming to an end anyway! Personally though I think your reply is too much. I'd keep it simpler and just say your business can't run on cash as you have too many overheads that have to go through the books.
  11. Do they have chainsaw protection?
  12. You don’t need steel toe boots for climbing
  13. Your gaffing out is due to your style rather than the gaffs. You need to learn to angle your legs in a bit. Probably why my hips are so knackered. The euro gaffs I suppose alleviate the need for that but they are bloody horrible to use
  14. It’s on the rise again!
  15. It’s £20!! 😂 I had my saw mounted to my leg way before the sapwod was invented. I riveted luggage straps to the silky sheath. It worked but not as good as the sawpod.
  16. Both your ‘webmasters’ were right. You do want to be writing 1000 word articles for best effect, 2000 even better! But yes most people won’t read it all, but that’s not the point!
  17. I’ve yet to read any accurate predictions as yet! Just buy what you can afford and no more, that’s how I play it. Hoping to get lucky on one of them. I nearly bottled it and sold my doge half an hour ago but it’s bounced back up again now.
  18. It’s still going up
  19. And still going up!!! I bought 1400 coins a few weeks back. Wish i'd bought £20k worth now!!!
  20. These are rarely genuine recommendations, they are just people recommending their friends.
  21. 10 million views, not a bad days work!
  22. Purchase an ECHO 50V electric outdoor power tool kit between April and September 2021 and you get a free additional battery worth up to £264.00. ECHO’s 50V range is an interchangeable battery system whereby one battery fits multiple power tools. So, when you are on the go and busy it is really useful to have a spare battery charged up and ready to minimise downtime. You will also make a considerable saving. For the professional user making the move from petrol powered products to battery, it makes great sense to take advantage of the offer. All you need to do is purchase an ECHO kit comprising a 50V power tool, battery and charger and the second battery comes free. That means you could choose any of these tools in the 50V 2Ah range with a battery and charger and get the free additional battery: the top handle chainsaw DCS-2500T (you need a valid top handle chainsaw licence to purchase), the rear handle chainsaw DCS-1600, power blower DPB-600, double-sided hedgetrimmer DCH-200, a trimmer DSRM-300 and multi-tool power head DPAS-300 when bought with a battery and charger. The DCS-1600 chainsaw and DPB-600 power blower kits include a second 4Ah battery with the offer. Note the offer does not apply to standalone 50V tools. The benefits of using battery-driven products have become increasingly appealing to professional users. Like-for-like they compare well in performance terms with their petrol counterparts. Plus, they operate with low noise, low vibration and low running costs with zero emissions when in use. They are easy and safer to operate with no electric plugs or leads and you get maintenance-free brushless motors for long-lasting performance. The top handle chainsaw has a cutting performance on a par with the ECHO petrol equivalent CS-2511TES and the rear handle chainsaw is comparable to a 35-40cc petrol model. The hedgetrimmer features an ergonomic front handle and 62cm double-sided blades and the power blower, trimmer and multi-tool share energy-efficient motor and variable speed controls. All ECHO 50v products come with a 5-year domestic or 2-year commercial warranty and a 2-year warranty on batteries. The offer runs from 1st April 2021 to 30th September 2021 or whilst stocks last and cannot be combined with any other deal. Find out more from your local authorised ECHO dealer. You can also visit www.echo-tools.co.uk or call 01844 278800 for more information.
  23. Always had back problems. Stopping climbing hasn't helped. I spend way too much sitting in front of the computer and have recently had to make an effort to rebuild my core. Its scary how much strength you can lose so quickly. Lots of planks and lots of stretching have helped but I need to keep it up. Not been having my usual sports massage due to the lockdown, but this is something that helped me more over the years than osteopath and chiropractors.
  24. Try one again in a few years time when you haven’t got a bum like a 10 year old
  25. I’m sure I can be forgiven the odd mistake! Have a nice day
