  1. Insist on seeing certs and insurances documents, in 20 odd years I think I've been asked a a half dozen times for proof of insurance from a domestic customer
  2. You can find plenty, but its not ''poison'' its called soil, bank a stump up with soil and organic matter and it will rot away in quick time, I've had stumps rot away in a few months, time span depends on size stump...
  3. No not a robber, just clever!
  4. I think he was charging the right money, I'd rather price up behind him than some of the stupid cheap divs around here..
  5. All I want to see is a level playing field
  6. Shouldn't they be mentioning the need to check quals and insurance, instead of plugging the AA that only represents a tiny section of the British Arb community? Not being funny mate, but there is plenty of good work, carried out professionally day in day out, by contractors with no affiliation to the AA in any shape or form, if the AA had tree owners and contractors best interests at heart they would plug the work of non AA contractors too, pressing the need for tree owners to check for references, quals and insurance, rather than simply plugging the AA contractors scheme. Either that or push the government to regulate the industry, just like it is for plumbers and electricians.
  7. From what Iv'e seen in the Med country's, they wouldn't have a clue what NPTC is or what any arb tickets are, they just get on with it, and pay little attention to the carp Brussels chucks out........
  8. Injury? he was ok, a couple of days ago
  9. Do a good job and you will get more work! don't bet on it!
  10. you could buy a 4x4 truck, ifor tipper, and 7.5 ton lorry for £37k
  11. Mikes the man for JB's I think Andy..
  12. Steve worked for me often over the years, we often did some tricky removals, I highly recommend him.
  13. yeah electric thats the way to go imo
  14. Fassi make a crane that lifts 500kg full stretch, I looked into cranes years ago, after working out all the figures, TBH it looked like a waste of time and money, it wasn't even worth putting a small crane on a 7.5 ton lorry, or 3500kg trailer
  15. Do you know goats will eat fresh deciduous woodchip, we should take up goat breeding
  16. Iv'e got a freezer full of cod, all caught by myself
  17. Nice work that Pommie
  18. 10 years from now I would like to be living in North NSW trolling for Spanish Mackerel, shark and Longtail Tuna in summer and big Snapper in the winter, the poxy weak pound looks like putting the kibosh on that, plus the kids are getting older and now don't want to go... If OZ doesn't happen I'll be happy, doing what I'm doing now, varied garden and tree work, nothing too stressful..
  19. What a bit like Johnny Morris?
  20. The only trouble I see is getting a dozen or so arbs to come together on such a project, around here they can barely raise a hand to one another when driving along, let alone form a cooperative..
  21. My mate has one, he doesn't tow a trailer, but it hasn't let him down in 5 years
  22. no comment
  23. Not in Clacton or other parts of the Tendering district, once down they do not replant, that's the new policy
  24. congratulations, my wife's about to pop any day
