Quoting work for friends (or friends of friends)

Not much money over our side Dean:001_smile: 6 Bolt steering box is latest thing:scared1: -
Just had a thought, can you make use of any of those bits of plastic? Might make you feel a bit better if you got a bit out of the job!

Had one of those days mate, you know:mad1:

Mmm, does look a bit hard reading it back Dean, but i would rather do a job for mate for nothing, then one day they should be keen enough to return the compliment. I would make sure i didnt owe you a tenner Dean, ive read the letters you send to your neighbours:sneaky2: -
Thats why its fenced off- keeping pedestrians away from an insecure structure:001_tongue:

Never do a discounted or cheap jobs for friends or family. Either give them your normal going rate, and tell them thats what it is, or do it for free. Either way, they feel like they paid fair and square for it, or owe you a favour back at some time. They can still get other quotes! Why should you do a cheap job for someone, putting off a full paying job, when they will still feel like they paid for it! -

No problems in this part of East Yorks. Then again there is civilized East Yorks, then there is Borough of Holderness, East Yorks. -

Yes boss, will do today:001_tt1: David, is it possible to get canker on Acers?
-
Nice one Marc, and a very good explaination. Guess its better regular pruning(if thats what the customer wants), and save that "toilet brush effect" being so bad! Think i have the same feeling as far as live with it as long as poss then start again, but, what the customer wants and all that:sneaky2:
-
Went to look at a hedge job the other day and the customer asked me to check out a strange substance bleeding from her Sycamore. The tree is tri-stemmed, forking only a couple of feet from the ground, has slight included bark and seems to have had some slight excavator damage at the base some 8 or 10 years ago by house builders. Not a large tree, approximately 35-40feet, but one main stem leaning towards the house, and one towards a busy A road. The "bleeding" appears to be coming from along side the fork union and above the damage, so in quite a crutial place. Sorry for the appauling discription, but forgot my camera! I can get pics soon, so if anyone wants them, i can put some up. So, has anyone experience of Canker in Sycamore, and is it likely to cause a risk to the structural integrity?
-
Not picking Marc, just wondered as it was a Euc. Obviously not knowing the specifics of the tree, situation, or customer requirements, that reduction will grow back in a very short time! Can you elaborate any more? Just curious mate.
-
How much did you take off the Euc Marc?
-
One of them wouldnt happen to be a 281 or 288 would it?

You guys might think this is Dans initiation, but i know where he lives:sneaky2:

Thought i might get shot down for going on memory:blushing:

I think you seem a nice bloke Tom, but dont build your hopes up too much- you aint really my type! Just on the grounds of safety mate, just in case you got it caught.

79 feet

The edit fuction timed out on me before i saw what i had typed! I believe its diameter 7cm, not 70cm girth! Age i suppose!
-
Nice one Andy, sign of old age i'm afraid:001_tongue: Just wondering though, how big are the trees? Going from memory(correct me if i'm wrong), a tree needs to be 70cm girth at 1.4m height to require submission of intension of works in conservation area, therefore any small trees recently planted may not have any protection at all.
-
Loose the wedding ring Tom!
-
Think i'm the same Andy, assume they aren't covered. As i understood it, as many have already pointed out, anything in the ground on the date of the order is protected, anything after isn't. Thus differing from Conservation area protection. Do you have a good rappour with your LA? They obviously must have a valid interest in the site for them to impliment the emergency TPO in the first place. Could be some brownie points in there for you:sneaky2:
-
Can you get the TO to update the existing order to cover the latest trees Andy?
-
Around here, everyone last year was at; big bags seasoned hardwood £60, unseasoned £50, softwood £50 and nets £3.50 seasoned hardwood, £3 unseasoned or softwood. I sold out before xmas! Next year prices WILL increase due to higher demand than last, and i will not have a conscience. Never under sell yourselves guys!

Just thought i would bump this thread with a couple of recent pics of my two. Sorry about the quality, not too great! Pip just being how she usually is; And Pip and Snoopy ready for the off;
