  1. They either don’t Have the right equipment or couldn’t be bothered as it was harder than their normal repairs, I’d guess the latter
  2. I cube per half hour, all arb waste and 8-10” on a hakki pilke 1x37
  3. Well i'm actually looking at tweaking the site design somewhat based on all the feedback over the past few months. I also have a lot of new things coming that I need to be able to showcase. I think I will be making the drop downs on the menu full width so I can include a lot more information nicely layed out and easy to navigate to...like below..
  4. No mate. All your settings look exactly how they should be, cant see any reason for this. There is a new patch available for the forum software though, perhaps that might make a difference, will install in a couple days.
  5. I am having trouble getting the source code from the original developer, I have someone to take over the project as soon as I get hold of that
  6. Not sure what they thought was going to happen here
  7. Taken from the tree surgeon insurance facebook post, discuss... https://www.facebook.com/Tsins/ Cowboys?? We regularly get accused of insuring unqualified Tree Surgeons, Foresters and Landcapers. I can confirm categorically that we will not knowingly do this. We do ask if you and your staff are suitably qualified and trained. We also ask you to confirm that you comply with HSE guidance. We don’t ask you to send your qualifications in before you take out cover. This is the same as when you insure your car, the insurer asks if you have a valid licence but doesn’t ask to see it. I am all for upping standards and I regularly go on about it here. Insuring unqualified people is bad enough but even worse is when these cowboys use unqualified and untrained staff. As a company we will not insure people if they refuse to take out the required Employers Liability Insurance. I believe we were one of the first brokers to take this stance yet there are several out there who still allow people to believe that a groundie can be a bona fide sub-contractor. How can this be? If we drive up standards, the job price you guys and girls can charge will go up and the cost of insurance will go down. We need to rally the troops on this rather that criticise those who say that the your industry needs to up the game. Weed out the bad apples and everything will be much sweeter! The HSE knowledge that people have when they have finished some courses is frequently woefully poor. There is often a stunned silence on the phone when we point out peoples’ legal obligations. So before everybody criticises me for this post, just reflect on what is actually happening out there. And yes it is a rant but if standards are upped the ultimate winner is YOU! The whole industry needs to evolve. So yes please add your views, let’s get the trainers involved in this debate it’s one that needs to be had. Let’s up the game, up the standards and up your profits!
  8. Will take another look when I get home
  9. Make sure you select to search all content and not just the topic you are in
  10. They did a good job! The tree still have some character
  11. Think it’s the sentinels I have. They are a decent well made trouser. Had no issues with zips, stitching etc
  12. please try again now, think I see the issue
  13. and what is happening?? Any error messages? Still in development so please report any glitches you find along the way
  14. I appreciate in the pictures they have clearly well exceeded what was allowed, but where is the line drawn exactly? I always use these percentages as a guide, the tree and its growth point dictate the best reduction point as a rule.
  15. I think most employers at the moment would be happiest just to find someone who can pull their finger out of their butts and crack on with their work, thats the best skill you can have in this game
  16. Hi Jack, would you like to add your sites to the tip site directory im in the process of developing?
