    yesterday whilst on my way to price a job i reversed into an up and over garage door that stuck out 18" whilst it was open. needless to say the door is now very bent. i couldnt see it in my mirrors cos it was about 6 foot high. the home owner was a bit pissed. i apologised and said id pay for a replacement, £500 including the new rails. finally found the job which i got told was a large conifer, its about 8" diameter and 10 foot tall. dont think it'll cover the cost of the garage door.

    jpbeaver replied to Rentachimp's topic in The Lounge

    most of my tools are teng now. i was getting them very cheap from a mate who worked at an agricultural store. they all seem very high quality.

    i got back from work yesterday at about 12pm, was an easy job and we got a tip aswell. when i got home 2 tree surgeons i know who work for a big company were doing a cash job behind my house. it was only a 45 foot conifer. anyway long story short lowered the top using a new climbing line running through a karabiner. ended up snapping the rope :asshole2:. i laughed my arse off. no one was hurt and no damage was done apart from the climbers pride.

    I went out for a meal friday night for my little sisters 12th birthday. saturday I went to a local music festival to see my older brothers jazz band play (i was a roadie) and on sunday 1 of my younger brothers came back from 6 months of traveling so I went to my mums for a roast. it was a hectic weekend.

    ive not used a trailed 1 only tractor mounted, but i do think its a great idea. how much extra would it cost?

    i had to reduce and trim a conifer hedge today, its the only hedge i do anymore. the bloke i was working for used to be a front line reporter for the daily express. he has plenty of stories to tell and does all the clean up and makes me lunch. it's a crap job but i think of it as more of a social event,

    i went to plank some timber tonight for my mate who has a farm. i decided to go shooting after. i enjoy the drive round the fields as much as the shooting. these pics are taken towards the lakes.

    she is great. everyone who has met her wants 1 of her pups when we breed from her. at 14 weeks old a couple came up to us while we were walking her and offered there dog for stud. her diet is mainly raw rabbit, the kids next door love watching her eat.
