Sounds like a good deal!! could donate some brash and more but the journey is a bit far... Good luck with getting that sorted - and hope you have a great time at the festival

Nice work David!! Hope you found the thermal imaging useful? I love all the old reference photos, must be great to work somewhere with a documented past
-
That burr elm is a fine piece of wood!! Nice work Matt
-
That looks fantastic Pete!! Well done on the MOT always feels like an achievement...

Nice!! We should be allowed to cover ourselves for unpredictability (Or F.ups) as it won't be the customer who is out of pocket due to circumstances unforeseen! I don't think they would be prepared to pay for full aerial visual inspections before each and every job.

I have found that as I am learning - early on it was easy to be put off from just looking at things from the ground.. Can you put a give or take factor on the price? Ie. allow for the worst case scenario so you have some sort of cover in case things work out harder than they look? The times they are easier is a bonus and when it is harder you are covered. As mentioned cashflow is the key - ie. better to have lots of jobs with less profit than few jobs with bigger profit. Any days when your equipment is not working is a loss

Good posts B101....eye opening and interesting. Sure you could make something of use with that frame David just beware the limitations as illustrated..

This is something to definately keep a closer eye on!! Volcanic ash sounds like they very worst thing for a chainsaw

I don't imagine them to be particularly toxic but you could wear gloves when pulling

Blimey!! Looks like that was a close one...Before pics would be good some funny looking branch unions there - Was it inspected recently at all??

Nice post Xerxses!! Would love to be able to do that! You can sign the petition here: Greenpeace | Votá por los bosques ***I assume it is ok to post link Steve/Mods***

I love the atmosphere created by approaching storms!! Captured beautifully in your pic David!!

Nice pics Hannah!! Looks like there is some signs of retrenchment already??

Great pics David!! Looks like you all had a good time! Can see I am going to have to get myself back up to Scotland before long

Yup!! Morning ....body clock is pretty regular here...I think I should start doing something that tires me out
-
Wierd!! I guess its an insect type thing...but equally could be funghee

Nice Car!! First car officially registered to me was a Mk2 GTI in Atlas Grey - this was in 97/98, I drove that until it died. Still got a GTI fetish and own a Mk1 Driver and Mk3 16v. When I first started driving I did have the pleasure of running around in one of these with a massive 652cc and two cylinders...was certainly different..

I'll go with Cabbage too....nicely deduced SJH!

Hope it heals quick Geoff! Looks like you'll have a nice scar!!

You are forgetting this is Britain! where we reward irresponsibility!!

Hi Ron, As the others guys said, its either college, work experience or short courses depending on how you are fixed financially. The progressions scenario you describe should/would more or less be the natural path you would follow as you gain confidence and experience. Enthusiam is the best starting point and from there you can learn all that you need
-
Looking good Tommer but more importantly I hope it saves you some eye pain!! They didn't when I asked at Capel but there are plans afoot.
