  7. I did a survey last week at a primary school and found (among many others) some fly agaric fungi.. What would you recommend the school do? They are not actually in the playground but could be picked and eaten by a stupid child if left unsupervised...
  8. We, like many are very busy, positions for full time, part time employed, or freelance. We have good kit, an avant to save your back, big chippers and good experienced crews.
  9. Wesellanyvans.co.uk have been making them for years and have it nailed in my opinion. Just do what they do..
  10. I saw a chipper on eBay that looked very like our stolen chipper. Called the local police and they weren't interested. It had been missing 8 or 9 years..
  11. I have never heard of a set "38 degree rule." Some local planners have, is this something I have missed, I have scanned NHBC chapter 4.2 and can't see how any of that would be relevant. Planners have stated: Any dwellings should be at 38 degrees from the mature height of the Common limes and therefore any dwellings have to be located further away i.e. not just outside the RPAs but in context of site working space, compatibility and shading. The garden for unit 5 is inadequate and would be overshadowed by the retained trees to the site frontage. Much of the internal accommodation to unit 5 would also be impacted upon in terms of natural light levels. The Tree Officer has confirmed that any dwellings, if 38 degrees away from the mature height of the limes, i.e. 22m. (ref. NHBC chapter 4.2) would be 28m. away from the trees.
  12. We ended up buying another truck and sticking with hiring the mewp. Trying to block the mewp jobs together. Currently got one on hire for 10 days on 5 or 6 different jobs. Place I brought our cabstar tipper had a 20m MEWP. I nearly brought it but decided our old izusu needed to be moved to back up truck and pockets not deep enough to buy both.. Wesellanyvans.com. I am still tempted.. 2008 08 NISSAN CABSTAR 2.5 35.13 MWB SHR 40300 miles only 130 BHP
  13. It not relevant how many companies you work for... an employee could work for 3 different firms each day and a sub contractor could work for one company for 6 months or longer.. i don't understand why people find it difficult to understand. Eggs explained it.
  14. I found this oak last week with strange marks. Any ideas? The marks circled the stem in a rough line at several different points up the stem. The tree is otherwise in good condition.
  15. And perhaps give him a bottle of something for sorting it out..
  16. I have been told you also get added to a list so are more likely to get pulled in the future..
  17. Looking at purchasing a MEWP. What do folk like/dislike. It will be used.. Thinking a budget £20-£30k. It needs to be reliable.. I think we need 20m min. I don't think we can afford or need tracked. In the past we have used the 3.5 toners with the folding lifts, but feel the straight lifts look stronger? No real reason to think that.. Also considering 7.5 tonners. While it might make drivers and access more complicated I feel they are less likely to have been abused as normally hired with operator.. I feel they are better put together then 3.5 ton trucks and subjected to 6 weekly checks. Also looks like a good selection in the Netherlands. Is it easy to import or is bringing over a non local machine likely to cause more maintenance issues if no local dealer?
  18. Milo – Coming Soon WWW.OKMILO.COM This start-up popped up on my Facebook. If it works and could be adapted could be useful..
  19. Pretty close.. Rope.
  20. This had me stumped..
  21. I only mentioned it was legitimate as I didn't want the contractor undertaking the works or anyone else viewing the post to feel I was suggesting the contractor had done anything wrong. The tree owner obviously can do whatever they want to unprotected trees. Interesting you would charge your full fee. I am not comfortable with that so will charge a reduced fee for my time spent preparing and visiting the site. I am not going to spend time creating an AIA and TCP when by tomorrow there will be no trees!
  22. Turned up to do a 5837 that needed doing yesterday.. Only to find two diggers happily removing everything.. All perfectly legitimate as they are the neighbours trees and not protected.. Do I complete my survey with no trees and bill them as quoted? Bill them for a wasted trip? Forget about it?
  23. No one has mentioned any examples of actual methods that could be used to reduce the risk of heave if removing a tree was deemed to be a high risk.. Are there any? You could just retain vegetation and hope it doesn't die? Most seem to think staged removal is a waste of time as the soil will still rise the same amount. Has a house ever been underpinned because there is a risk of heave? Can you install a barrier, to ensure a soil remains in a dedicated state?
  24. Did you recruit from Poland, or did they find you in the UK?
