I would like to bang on about my fathers struggle with dyslexia and my sons own intreging case of D along with a twist of disbracsia but i can relate to steves own comments that ring a few bells for me ?? I love my job but struggle to retain infomation i want to do an arb theroy course but do not have the confidence to commit to it have sat and started reading books ie colin tudges secret life of trees and with in a short space of time relasize that the info is'nt there to be recalled even working 24hr clock can baffle me at times. I have recently been promoted to team leader and when the paper work gets on top of me i just wish that i was back on the tools so to speak finding these events very testing I would like to thank steve for bring this topic up me and the wife attend workshops for helping children for this kind of thing but its still carries a stigma for most people the lack of understanding just leads to frustrataion.

milling roof shingles from pine using alaskan
Treegeek replied to offgridchris's topic in Milling Forum
Be intrested in this thread have plans to built log stores roofed with shingles have seen sweet chestnut oak and of course cedar but never pines what pine was you thinking of using some thing more resinus might be ok -
As the others have mentioned info like this should be circulated thourgh the wider arb community. I have a rust issue we work exclusivly on road side trees and the steel rivets on my spike covers have rusted and caused corrosion of the aluminium spike's them selves had them checked over by a loller inspector and have polished out the corrosion but i feel that its due to all the salt put on the roads this winter, as the salt thay have used this year is refined marine salt not rock salt and is far more corrosive generaly i wonder if this may affect other possibly the wire flip line in question ???????

I was told that to order new parts for them you have to quote the serial number and if stolen then ifor will contact the fuzz. If that is true i wish stihl would do the same maybe we might have a chance to recover some saws.

Please dont take this the wrong way You mentioned that your newly self employed in another thread this is fairly basic question of safty and a key part of a risk assesment and method statement to safe gaurd you, your staff and public any work near powerlines the network operator should be the loop. Be safe
