  1. i dont wear my works tshirts when climbing for other firms, cant see that they would be happy about me advertising my buissness when im representing theirs. if im not supplied a tshirt then i just wear a plain berghaus/northface/hellyhanson lightweight technical top saying that i turn up in a signwritten truck
  2. 5 pages mostly on people who cant work a simple cap,amazing. i guess most of you struggle with the medicine bottles that you have to push down and twist at the same time
  3. i dont mind sandwiches, often get a selection of different pickles from the local market to mix things up a bit, love leftover roast meat sandwiches on a monday as well. I take pride in my sandwiches. wouldnt let my ex make my sandwiches for me as she wouldnt do it right. we stop for such a short amount of time throughout the day i like to have something to look forward to. Saying that i fired up the pan on the kelly kettle tuesday and had heinz sausage and beens. Oh and i usually have a tin of mackrel in oil and a bit of fruit as well
  4. i always put a copy of my EL insurance and PL insurance in with my quotes, also a guide to good tree care from the national park authority and a choosing your arborist leaflet also from the national park authority but written by the HSE with help from the ISA AA NPTC etc etc
  5. sweet:thumbup:
  6. my blackberry is pretty good, got an otterbox on recomendation from andy and its pretty bomb proof
  7. im doubting myself now:sneaky2: its well dead i was wondering what the stuff 8-10 metres up was as well its definately oak
  8. yes i think it is mate, the oaks are part olf an old plantation just up the road from bucklers hard(old ship building place) i think it is the old money fungus at work,but i suspect theres others working on this but as well. not sure what the white marks are really, it apears to be some sort of fungi growing in the tunnels left by boring insects
  9. wind blowing wrong way, fence in way thank god for a truck and a hammer [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjfoOuNMD4g]YouTube - SSL21244.AVI[/ame]
  10. close enough for it to be a little bit time consuming, but far enough away for it to not be to much of a problem, if the cable wasnt there id contemplate spiking up and knocking those limbs off
  11. yep doing me proud
  12. its my job, been working on and off on this site for about a year now. the oak in my avatar is from the same site
  13. oak tree i looked at on friday, its in a conservation area so il have to put in a 6 day notification to fell as its DDD. just thought id share the photos. the area under the oak is going to be use for gardeners sheds etc, customers are toying with the idea of getting the stem milled.its got a dbh of 670mm. il be getting a platform in
  14. operator error
  15. is it a ski jump
  16. heavy deadwood and reduction to bring in line with lower canopy, the tree has its feet on the edge of a reed bed on a tidal river(beaulieu river) its obviously doesnt like the salt and is in decline, the movement of the crown felt quite weird when climbing it
  17. i always put on my quotes that the quote is subject to the site conditions on the day of viewing, also i tend to say that the quote is valid for 28 days
  18. i think mine is dec2003 and weighs 687kg, but i have just got back from the pub so might be making that up
  19. haha went to a gig last night and im spending today on the sofa bailed on the stunt fell, it just wasnt going to fit

  21. lengthwise it should be ok:thumbup1:, the stumps being left at 3-4ft for a bird table, its more the width of the crown im worried about
  22. quite possibly:thumbup1: got a small cash job to tackle first though
  23. its my birthday tomorrow so the prospect of felling tuesday instead of climbing is quite appealing
  24. dam this thread:sneaky2: ive spent the whole evening wondering if tuesdays ash dismntle can be stunt felled:001_tt2:
  25. ridge hight must be under 4 metres
