I have heard of "Arse Antlers" but never seen "Arse Invertibates".Very original Janey!
-
It would take a hell of alot more than £500 worth of parts to get that running.

What qualifications do all of you self employed arborists have?
Mike Hill replied to YoGi_93's topic in Training & education
Advanced Lawn Mower usage. Advanced Trailer Reversing. Dog Grooming Level II Tree Arbory Level II Those are my best ones. -
Blow it apart with Gun Powder for a Laugh?

Exhaust Port on Muffler/Engine has been enlarged.This allows more rapid escape of Exhaust Gasses allowing more Fuel/Air to be Aspirated and combusted thus resulting in Higher RPM and Tourqe.

Smoking deal. Theres no way you could do that on £1000 local Currency eqivilent.

I don't suffer from Lumber Lung.However inadvetently holding a Saw or Hedge Trimmer Poer Head agains my Groin has resulted in "Timber Todger" on occasion.

I've never had a problem with taking Saws on Aircraft,Done it a few times from the UK now.Only once was the Saw new,as long as the Tanks are empty and clean they never had a problem with it.

I beleive the UK is saturated with adequate Climbers,thus the day rate remains low. Rates in Countries where the work is seasonal will always be more than more temperate Climates,it has to be to attract staff.Also in the case of Scandinavia the cost of living is much higher. Twenty years ago people were making huge money Climbing in Germany,I caught the tail end of that in the late 90's.Then ten years ago,Sweden paid the highest wages,now with established firms recruiting from a large labour Pool in the UK the wages have dropped,however they are still higher than the UK.

That Cab is off a "Deuce and a Half" or also known as a GMC 6X6.Dodge Command Cars and Weapon carriers had a similar Cab and were 4X4,but I'm pretty sure the Cab is off a GMC.

Can I take it Home on Public Transport?

Is that a kind of Armour thats made up from lots of thin layers of Armour being glued together?Or is it like inanimate Armour that dosn't do anyhing and just sits there?

Call up all the local Tree Companies and offer your Labour for Free for a Day.Explain to them why you are doing this,this will encourage them to have you out without taking a gamble on productivity. Like alot of Business owners,many is the day I could "ring in" some reliable help.

I am currently making a "Resitometer" from a Broken Battery Charger. I intend to get some new Hypodermic Needles and some Rubber Gloves.I will take my "Resistometer" from its Case and with a Florish insert the Hypodermics into the Bark.Then after Donning the Gloves I shall attach the "Resistometer" to the Hypodermics.The Dial will show no charge,therefor the Tree is in decline and will shortly Fail Catastrophically probably in the Direction of the youngest Child.

I disagree. I know the gear my Competition has,so when it comes to the big jobs I know roughly what its going to cost them to hire in the gear I OWN. So my quote is what I estimate the competion would charge to hire in that gear plus a little bit.If I get the job great,if not,they are working for less that what I want my gear running for.

Arn't Elm Trees just Lime Trees but without Leaves? I think the best plan is to reverse the name of a Fungus,the client will never find it should they Google the name "amredonnag".It just gives more scope for you to dazzel them with "knowledge".
-
I agree that the general build quality of Chainsaw Trousers is lacking. The outer Fabric on Chainsaw protective Chaps worn in NZ and the States does last for years.Also is is possibe to totally recover Chaps as long as the outer is attached at the same points as the originals.

Thanks Tony and Dave.I wasn't sure what it was,never seen Foames on a Beech. I certainly will be keeping this one,however I think my Velcro dot technique of Bracket attachment won't hold this one.I think I'll put a spike in the back of it and push it into the ground behind any Tree at the base. I'll claim that it causes third degree burns in Children and old people.Should clinch a few deals.

Who is getting into next winters firewood ?
Mike Hill replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
Done a couple of Cord of Burr Oak.Takes ages to dry. -
I had a look at a Beech today,it has Phytopthra in addition to these Brackets growing up the Stem. The Tree is Knackered and didn't come out in Full Leaf last year. There is a Historical Building on one side and a busy Road the other.

Public speaking- time to get help!
Mike Hill replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
I did this. I approached a man preaching the Word of God in Brixton and explained my fear of pubilc speaking.No one was paying attention to this guy anyway to I had a go,just reading from the Bible and not looking up.After a little bit I could memorise a Sentence or two and meet peoples gaze whilst talking. I joined this guy a few times and gave his Church some Money to thank him for his help. -
Norway is getting "MOTs" for Trailers next year. I was in my mates Muffler Shop today when the inspectors came in to have a look,he is going to off the MOT service.They agreed the new law had nothing to do with road safety as the ammount of fatal accidents involving Trailers is mainly limited to Agricultural Vehicles.Oh and wait,Ag use is except. WTF.
