jpbeaver replied to slasherscot's topic in General chat

bloody hell, i forgot how ugly you all are!!!! was that jim climbing in a t-shirt in the sleet and snow?
-
did you deal with tim cartwright at UU to get the power turned off.
-
sawdust, you shouldn't have to pay him anything when im climbing for you. in fact he should pay us both. i'd give him £55/60 a day.
-
armchairarborist nice looking boxers, we used to have 6! my girlfriends family have 1 now. they are great dogs. are yours docked?
-
billy might be selling his one sawdust. have you got his number? you got another tractor?
-
bet you were glad you got rid of the transit today!

my tipper is still going, its done 170000 miles now and looking a bit tatty. I've got a labrador as well as my terrier so it can be a bit crowded with 2 in the front plus waterproofs and bait boxes. I might take the back off the old pickup and cut it down to fit a crew cab. lee im not gonna start shoveling chip out even if it would only take 10 minutes. im not a big fan of landrovers stu, seem over priced for what they are.
-
has anyone on here converted a jap 4x4 crew cab to a tipper or know any companies who build them? cheers jp
-
have you tried sam? I know russell and billy have both had some from him.
-
my duck shoot has been cancelled for tomorrow night now because the lune has flooded the pond i shoot. who do you work for treetomass?
-
you showed great confidence in your equipment and team. good work. i liked it when you told the bloke to put his helmet on, that sort of thing gets over looked too much sometimes.
-
they can also act like that if you haven't changed your fuel filter in a while, or put a bit of dirty red diesel through it.

i've made my first batch of blackberry whiskey today, should be ready the begining of november. there are masses of sloes this year, not quite ready for picking yet though. i used to make elderflower champagne as a kid, it was lovely.
-
most of my subbie groundies get about £100 a day up to £150 on some jobs . i think they are worth every penny. climbers normally around £150 a day.
-
that is 1 smart looking truck, hope it earns you plenty.
-
is that employed or self employed i think it depends on what your doing
-
i have a mate who can supply nets bags of logs, he is based near lancaster and would hav no problem keeping up with as many orders as you get. where are you based? i also know a lad near grange who might be of use. are you wanting hardwood or softwood?
-
i believe Billy (william) Barden and Hu came up to see things orking the other week? was billy jealous of the chipper? he will be wantig to trade his hiezohack in now!!!
-
the trapping will be in a woodland near sedbergh so reds will still be around. i'll be using live capture traps. thanks for the links and info.
-
has any one done much trapping of squirrels? if so what traps and bait did you use? where did you find the best place to put the traps were?
-
hope you weren't being paid by the hour on that one. looks like fun.
-
the lad who had your valmet traded it in for a tracked chipper i think. it was a shame, he hardly ever used it. it was a great piece of kit. not sure who has it now or if its local. at least i got him to buy it fom you the woodland by the entrance has been flailed to get rid of the rodies hasn it? did hanafins thin that woodland out last time about 7 years ago maybe? i will try and call in this week or next if i get an early finish. be good to see things working.
-
great looking job. thats just off the A590 isnt it? i've been doing a bit of felling in meathop which is about 5 miles up the road. a few bits of local advice, best pies and sandwiches local to that job are from hgginsons the butchers in grange. the stricklad arms in levens is great for a pint and food. would it be ok to call i and see everything working at some point?
-
i went last year, couldn't make it this time. was it a good day? i think im off to Scone game fair this weekend. disappointed Lowther isnt on this year.
