I am delivering about four ton of Ash,Birch and Pine tomorrow for less than 100quid. Nobody wants the stuff here.

Just me climbing,two our staff and the road control and grab truck from the contractor. Its only four trees now,the first and largest isn't coming down.
-
Because they are out of fashion. Nah,there are old utility lines beneath them that have to be excavated and that will sever the roots on one side.

We have been asked to quote the removal of these five trees.Contractor removes the waste,this due to the ammount of waste and limited area presents problems in itself. Three live lines in front (can be turned off but not removed) Two service lines to houses behind 360deg target area 180deg of the target area is private property Traffic on the one side must be halted during lowering. Traffic control supplied by client Price suggestions Ladies and Gentlemen please.

Only if you make them.Not on purpose and they are safe to handle,if you can catch them,

Could you just? It won't take long I'm the customer So never wrong Got back up there right to the top start cutting till I tell you to stop? While you guys are here it would seem a good time to put his in your chipping machine?

Yes.Booze is mega pricey.Norwegians seem to revel in making their own spirits though.Unfortunalty is invariably tastes like Petrol and soil.No matter how drunk you are before sombody offers you some of their booze.

Vermin. Really upsetting news,he is a better man than those attackers can ever hope to be.

During the early 1990's the Japanese would bring Freighters into New Zealand ports and have them filled with scrap steel.Tractors,Rail lines what ever.Then they would sail the ship back to Japan and scuttle them. They story was that they were sinking them to make marine sancturay's.But they were also getting steel from Veitnam,northern Aus,PNG,Fiji etc.Thats alot of artificial reefs! People say that infact they were securing a supply of steel for the future.Makes sence as 50,000 ton ships take along time to rust away.

Bit bigger than a fist this one Dave.But I have seen a guy walk up to a group of girls at a party and let one crawl out of his mouth.

I'm growing my sideburns in preparation for my recently ordered Hemp three strand. The future is now!

My deepest thanks to them all,we will remember them.

Its the time of year to start thinking about what Christmas celebration you are planning your staff.Here are a few options to select. Personally,we plan to have a "Julebord" a Christmas type dinner at my house about the time we cease work untill the new year. How about you?

That looks great! Who makes them? Also it matches the rest of my "Batman" costume....result!

Good to see innovation on the gear front! Especially gear specifically for Arborists.I like the idea of a clear visor,but one that was secondary to a mesh one.Perhaps one that you could pull down from inside the helmet? Speaking for myself,there are times when little particles come through the mesh of a wire visor.Having a second option of a clear visor might be good? Nice reveiw Reg

Both Cuthbert and Tarquin marvelled at the extras that came with the Iron

Fantastic! You certainly have considerable talent!Very impressive indeed!
-
Hire a front end loader,without the bucket.You could chain or use soft strops to lift the stump just enough to reverse out with it.Then plonk it in a truck. Be fast and reasonably cheap.
-
T22! I thought that was a fantastic peice of gear after my first "harness" was a thick belt with two eyes and a hemp lanyard WITH a wire core.

Ok thanks for the replies! I'll have a look around at Mig systems that use gas.
