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!

There are various ways of evaluating the extent of the decay, try to avoid drilling holes in it if possible though. Picus is probably one of the better ways, but ideally talk to an independant consultant. Any tree firm can send out a clown with a drill to tell you your tree needs removing, but someone impartial with the right equipment, qualifications, and experience will give you the best result. Of course, it all depends on how attached you are to the tree, you could spend a lot of time and money on it, and the outcome will be the same eventually, the tree will have to be removed. Decay detection and consultancy will extend the length of time that you can keep it, but you cant do anything to halt the decline.
-
My suggestion, and thats all it is, would be to advertise for an experienced arborist to run your own arb team. For the volume and value of work you are looking to achieve, it would be worth your while investing in it properly from scratch, rather than taking over another company.
-
The inonotus will probably have gained entry via damaged parts of the tree, but once its in it will spread inside the tree. Inonotus causes a fairly slow rate of decay/death, and it affects the roots and lower part of the stem, so thats where you should be looking. Look at the general health of the tree, ie vigour, leaf size, deadwood in crown. Would it cause damage if it were to fail?

oh no he isnt......

I am looking for timber to buy at roadside in the Cambs, Norfolk, Suffolk, North Essex, Herts, Beds area. Tree surgery type stuff is ok, as long as it is lengths not rings. I can collect from site or your yard. Almost any species hardwood or softwood considered, price will vary obviously. You can contact me by PM or on 07875 386674 Thanks

Nothing mentioned about the Basques and Corsets though. City of London staff fly to Spain for tree-management training | Arboriculture News | Horticulture Week
