Havent worn a wrist watch since I started tree work. If my phone stopped telling me the time I'd probably get something like this
-
I must be missing something here, how did you work out how much of that £250 was hosting and how much was the design?
-
Yes, "Creosote Substitute". About as much use as a chocolate hedgehog in a balloon factory. They nearly banned the sale of used railway sleepers with the same legislation, on the grounds that they had been treated with the dread substance.....
-
1. You cant buy creosote from B&Q or anywhere else for that matter. 2. Creosotes do indeed build up in your chimney as a result of burning wet wood.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uSoB092ng0]YouTube - Powerlines Cause Tree Fire & Explosion[/ame] From the way it stops then restarts suddenly I'd say its the fuse tripping, then resetting. Good example of why you should never assume a line is dead....

Talk to your loler inspector. If they wont loler hand splices find one that will. Make sure you keep records and mark the pieces you splice, date of first use, batch number of the cordage ect. Record what type of splice you have used, and make sure it is the correct one for the cordage, and that your buries are the correct length ect. Cant really go wrong then! You may wish to break test a few for your own satisfaction.

You can tie both ends in.
-
what hitch/ pulley combo are you using John?
-
A lot depends on how its tied though, a loose distel is more scarey than a tight helical, although a really loose vt is probably the most suicidal of them all.... At least with the helical the tightness of the hitch is permanently set with the bowline, as long as it grips reliably I cant see its any less secure than a distel.
-
DB splices are very easy on loose weave cords, but the final bury can be very challenging on tighter ropes. Getting the splice right is all in the measuring and marking imo.
-
Ditto. Not a fan. Doesnt really glaze, just gets dirty binds up.
-
Good move from the prussic imo.
-
Its HRC. Bit soft for my tastes, splices easy enough.
-
If its the company I'm thinking of, they run Timberwolfs.

Orange plant on the east lancs for chippers, not cheap for single days but ok for whole weeks.

Not quite sure if i have the right end of the stick here, but I assume he wants reciepts/invoices from you for the payments he has made to you as a self employed subcontractor? Of course, if you have been working for him regular hours then you should have been on the books, paid PAYE and he would have been responsible for paying your income tax and national insurance contributions to HMRC. Without receipts from you, he cant show where the money he has paid you has gone.
-
Do you reckon it would fit mighty Joe?
-
I can tell its your bike, the computer says SLEEP!
-
Cool, i'll be a bit more persistant tomorrow then!
-
Yes, couldnt get him today, i'll try him again.
-
Cheers mate
