Hi John! Assume you're the same John that worked with me and Andy Maule, Stu etc? -
Freelance opportunities around Bristol and the South West
Paul Barton replied to Robert Lavin's topic in General chat
Hi Robert. I used to freelance around Bristol and I think it's still pretty common as there are a few small companies that don't want to commit to full time employees. I think your best bet is to get on the phone to a few companies to offer your services - which is hard before you have your tickets! Perhaps, if you're serious, offer a day of labour to a couple of small companies as a way in. You can drag brash, rake up, load logs etc, get a feel for the job and have a natter to the guys on site about future work. If you work hard and show up on time they you're more than halfway there! -
Great post, thanks Dave.

Calm down chaps. This argument is getting boring.

Any suggestions for a iPad air 2 protective case.
Paul Barton replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in The Lounge
I've got a Lifeproof case with strap - had it a few years and it's been great. https://www.lifeproof.co.uk/en-gb/ipad-air/fre-for-ipad-air-case/lpfr-apl-ipdair.html?dwvar_lpfr-apl-ipdair_color%C2%A0%C2%A0=20#q=ipad&scid=LP-EU-UK-TSA-cpc-03255&medium=tsa&gclid=CMTq8qyG3tICFcQp0wodlgYGgw&start=4 -

How not to do Trees and Development!
Paul Barton replied to stevelucocq's topic in Trees and the Law
Why not? There seems to be a nice patch of grass there that would take an appropriate sized arboreal feature -
Not at all! How much do you want for the clino?

Would you really though?!

Just because I have a different view on the world than you, doesn't make me 'politically correct' or any more likely to moderate your posts

Well said that man

That's even more ridiculous than the petition to stop him coming on a state visit! 1. He doesn't have to visit to enable free speech. 2. He hasn't been gagged. 3. It took most other presidents a few years in office to get an invite for a state visit. 4. 'Appose' isn't even a word.

I know how you feel - it's hard to potentially lose a job or a client, but sometimes it's the best risk to take. Particularly if they make a habit of mullering trees!
-
Have a word with your client explaining that as a professional (and presumably member of AA/ICF etc) you are bound by codes of ethics to report on sites as you find them. If you believe the 'damage' isn't terminal for the trees then you can state than in the report and perhaps avoid enforcement action for your client. After all, it's your reputation and relationship with the LPA on the line.

Yeah I used to climb on a hitchclimber with a VT - I'm just new to the zigzag idea (and looking to keep costs down) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It sure is - are they fancy and expensive mechanical friction devices? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It's been a while since I climbed regularly and all my kit is now more than 10 yrs old and without the original certificates of conformity etc. So, I am looking for a 'bundle' for two basic climbing kits to allow us to carry out aerial inspections etc and comply with LOLER. I think all I will need is: 2 x harnesses 2 x climbing ropes 2 x eye to eye prusik cords 2 x micro-pulley / hitchclimber pulleys 2 x adjustable strops 8 x karabiners 2 x helmets Any suggestions of a good lightweight kit and any 'ready-made' bundles gratefully received. I've seen a few complete kits on websites but they seem to contain more than I need.

Hello. That's a pretty spicy first post on the forum. My advice would be sort it out between yourselves or report it to the police. Simples! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

...except a Judicial Review at the High Court but this would need to relate to a procedural failing in the way the order was administered.

Damn right! A MUST READ.

Er - take a deep breath and log off til you're ready to post like a grown up -
It might be helpful, but you'll need some large and robust guards to stop stones (and dust) from raining down over all the pavement and nearby cars. It's horrible work to be honest!
