  1. I do safety clearance, it good most days like today, a few good big climbs, but on days when it hawthorn or any jaggy related stuff it gets boring fast,

     

    my autherisation is WI PS, it allows me to do anything as long as the person supervising has the proper tickets to do so from ground work to cutting overhangs on live LV's and HV's

  2. is he dodging nails and wire then, and who put the big knots in the rope??

     

    ha, yep he sure is, i wrecked my climber bar up that tree, a lump snatched my saw and bent the bar big style,

     

    the rope isn't a proper pulling rope, just a old climbing rope, you know where i work so no surprise there lol

  3. my old man was a firewood maniac so i grew up in the woods and on the back of tractors and operating splitters. left school did some gargening and greenkeeping but been doing it for a living now 12 years ish. i am 34 next month, but i class myself as retired now compared to how hard i used to work:001_cool:

     

    last time i was at your yard doing the powerlines your dad came over for a yap, he was doing a log display for as shop if i remember correctly.

     

    ive been doing the tree thing nearly 2 years, alot better than i was at the start but still have alot to learn

  4. I use Secateurs, Silky and loppers quite alot, infact ill be using them most of tomorrow, 2 jobs 4 trees to reduce and shape, then of to Girvan ( Ayrshire ) to start a massive job, remove 100 ish trees for a new Scottish Power substation

  5. its a pitty they dont do waving or smiling when i pass one of their trucks:glare:

     

     

     

    not me, i wave like a loony to every other tree dude i see lol

     

    if in future you see a tattood loony hanging out the window, waving, it me :001_smile:

  6. lol, we do domestic to, im doing all the domestic jobs with 2 other guys, and a little bit of utiltiy work,

     

    we also have teams that do fencing, digger work, grass cutting, sub stations, utility, firewood, imries has his hands in at everything, if the price is rite he will do it lol

  7. I do line clerance and private work,

     

    when im working on trees doing line clearance in peoples gardens alot of them refuse to let us work when you tell them you have to have 5m clear, as such alot of the time we end up doing 1year restricted cuts and leaving trees a stupid shape, not because i/we want to but because we have been told to

  8. Another utility option is Imrie based in ayr or QTS based beside kilmarnock working nationally

     

    I was working for imries till xmas eve, i dont think there will be any powerline work for them, they lost the scottish power contract, myself and a few others got paid off due to lack of work
