  1. i did my chapter 8 about a month ago, and there was no mention of it
  2. unfortunately not, to busy setting out chapter 8 stuff, and trying to get an access line in that didnt involve footlocking through a load of Holly
  3. sycamore reduction from this morning
  4. my best mate lives in dunedin in andersons bay, il be back out in december for a month the best thing to do is download the risk assesmnt from the Arb Association http://www.trees.org.uk/aa/documents/arb-ac-help/JobsheetSSRA(v1).doc Help becoming an ARB Approved Contractor when my new pads arrive il post a picture of them, but its based on this format
  5. its not so much about falling and landing on your head, its what falls and lands on your head...
  6. turn up on time, do what your asked(within reason), dont smash anything and go home. dont bitch or moan and do everything to the best of your ability. if its early starts to be onsite for a certain time then its ur descision to be there so dont moan about it, if you dont like it move on and finally, enjoy it
  7. sounds like a badly organised day to me
  8. im pretty sure its 9m centres
  9. yeah all the time, ive got a standard 44inch bucket and a grab bucket as well. if we are out on site i usually just take the pallet forks. the grab buck usually only get used round the yard
  10. a few pictures of my 427 out working its changed the way we work id never want to do a medium - large dismantle without it again
  11. Cerne, do you think your time working under the command of the government has changed your opinions in relation to all this population control?
  12. That's a bit negative don't you think gerit? At the least it could give an idea of at least 2 species it could be, enabling future research of both possibilities
  13. I've got a Marlow 12mm double braid line, it's very grippy which is great for lifting with my grcs but eats good quality rigging gloves for fun as its so grippy. Seems to glaze pretty easy as well
  14. Great to catch up with mates at the first show of the year. However poor show in my opinion and if my primary objective wasnt catching up with mates id have to seriously consider wether to attend next year. What was the score with the two fields thing? Probably one of the daftest moves by the organisers ever I can't see how long the show will continue to run for if this is going to be the standard from now on
  15. Red It's good to be seen
  16. there are various peaks and dropoffs. drop offs indicating decay and high peaks indicating areas of very hard deadwood. the tree was drilled at 4 points n,s,e,w, and all at a height of 10cm personally im dubious of the intensions of the survey
  17. measurement height was 10 cm, dbh was 105cmmm and depth was 39.8cm
  18. as above ive got some resistograph printouts from an Oak ive been to look at, ive little experience with the resistograph and im trying to work out what the results are really saying. ive contacted the company who undertook the survey, who have so far been less than helpfull. the trees owners put in at app to fell the tree on the basis of the results ,but the LA responded that there was insufficient explanation of the results to warrant felling does anybody have any information regarding interpretation of resistograph results
  19. Standardised layout, then Cut and paste the appropriate stuff. Easy peasy
  20. i send a written quote for 90% of the jobs i look at, and specify everything down to stump height, grinding depth, what size stuff will be removed on a reduction etc
  21. usefull stuff, thanks
  22. got a fair bit of driving to do in the coming months, and could do with another vehicle for quoting surveying etc so im considering the above what are they like to drive, fuel efficiency etc cheers
  23. im after some sort of quotation pad that can produce duplicates. these arnt to give to the customer, more something i can file in an attempt to make my diary and recording of enquires more organised who do you use? cheers john
