I'm sure thats what the AA would like, they encouraged & succeeded in getting a local authority to put a link direct to the AA site from the auths web page, for persons looking for an Arborist, which isnt a bad thing however they forgot to offer the public more than that choice, leaving it unbalanced, & unrepresentive of the local skills base -- thats been Corrected now tho'

the real concern is that the chinese are in the market to win # they will buy out or copy a euro machine & do it at silly prices

OH & ONLY 8k what a pile of cack

personally Cvs are okay ishReferences could be falsified or bigged up the level of your ability will be the key, speed isnt everything, a climber who looks at the whole picture, is way better, precision & skill a good all round ability & take the time to talk through the job especially if you havent worked with that crew b4 a speed freak who makes a crows nest at foot of the tree comes down & wants to sit in the van will piss the groundies off they in turn will slag the subbie off to the gaffer & thus wont be back. as for insurance depends on the end client we carry 5 mil as standard I'd get on the phone & talk to co's set your rate & if you cant do what you say you can, do it for half, if you can they'll call you Ps be aware that all subbie climbers get the Shity jobs every time !!!!

cheers Steve typical ' you snif a bargain out ' blast just my luck' lol how many denaros i've seen the bar & disc i prefer the bar too

Ps I have got to agree pops can be a bitch I Hate the fecker when it snaps out underfoot tho' jez that wakes me up

Well as I see it , Matty you did what you believed to be right under those circumstances. I havent looked at all the posts coz to be honest I couldnt be arsed From the impression Matty gave me when I met him, I seriously doubt any tree is going to Beat him not permanently any how. It may shake his nerve but I bet I know ultimatley who will win ' The dude with the saw' Steve has a valid point from a business perspective Not that I think he was having a pop at matty he was just saying it as he sees it ie if a company back heels too many jobs , then the customer will ime call someonelse too do it They ( the new co') will then embelish it & take great pleasure in informing anyone you'll listen that their competitor is not upto big tree work, that kind of background muttering among the locals, won't do anyones business profile any good at all !

cheers mate hows the family ?

A 12 bore works well but on a serious note We were tasked last year with a site removalfor a national house builder, however a magpie was nesting in one of the trees. A bobbie contacted the site manager after a tip off from a concerned member of the public basically the conversation to the site manager went ---- if you go ahead, you, the contractor and your area manager 'will be locked up' if that same magpie had been flying over a field it could have been legitimatley shot as vermin, but we had to postpone work untill after the nesting season
