Well I guess its the same as quoting for work. Each job is individual and is priced accordingly. I was there about 30mins, the tree was were easy to climb and I got the cat down safely. I charged £50 but as in the case of jamesw he would of had to charge more as the job took longer and needed 2x climbers plus some branch removal. I would guess that the best and fairest way that you could turn up to this sort of job blind is to work out a fee for the first hour for say two people then an hourly rate for subsequent hours.

You got wee'd on Kipperfeet and I got a slashed chin. I was a bit concerned as to how the cat would react once I had reached it. It didn't try to climb any higher and I was able to lift her off. I thought that I would struggle to put the cat into a cat basket but she went in straight away and lowered straight down to one very happy owner.

Hi guys, in the past two months ive been called out twice to rescue cats stuck up trees. Just wondered how common this is and if any one else has had to do it.

Hi Matt,
Nice bike, glad your recent situaton is on the up!
I have spoken to Sheia Cooke about payment for the hedge cutting I did for you last year, as you said that she hadent paid you and to talk to her direct and she has sent me there company bank statement which shows that the £260 has been paid in to your account so she cant pay me as she has paid you.
Please could you forward me a cheque for this if you need my address i can give it to you.
May be in contact with you regarding woodchip.
Cheers Paul.

Sorry to here about your loss, but if it makes any one feel any better, last night I jumped on a thief in the local M&S who was walking out the door with a shopping trolley full of whisky and other stuff, well over £400 worth. The robbing thieving family got there 8 year old daughter to push the trolley out! Police came and nicked him but I bet he gets off.

Iv'e had a pair of air streams for just over a month and have found them very comfortable. Also I found my spikes sit better in these than my Hiax.

Every summer ive suffered with dehydration so this year ive started to climb with a camel back which I found doesnt really get in the way and even on a day when it isnt that hot i find that i still drink a lot. I also take 3l of gatoraid with me each day and try to drink that, so min 5l per day.

Bob how come your name don't come up on the active user pannel.
-
your mates done areally good job, I replaced the boss and i had to replace the nose on the shaft. Did he spray the pannels in 2 pac or was it powder coated?
-
Yeah fallen stock for the hunt, Id do him with the bolt gun and do it on a cold morning when it doesnt work properly so it stuns him, wate for him to come around then do him propper then straight in the incinirator or fed to hounds!!!
-
wow nice job were all the bearings replaced? who did the work.
-
Got any pics? did you have new pannels made up?
-
What work are you doing on the chipper? are you going to take the main housing off? I didn't find the work too hard hears a couple of my pics.

It has its uses, when digging out Mink and rabbits you make it in to a cork screw, push it in to the run once your near the quarry twirl it around and pull the quarry out to be despatched.

Ive cut loads of horses heads off and calves so if you want one !!

Every hunt in this country is hunting as before the ban with any convictions being over turned, I know this because I wipped in to a beagle pack and after the ban we hunted normally 3 days a week even the two coppers (Hunt liason officers) were pro and would holla and get rid of the antis so I dont see a problem getting rid of crows, pidgeons, magpies etc to be able to carry out work. Also the other problem ive come across a few times is squirrels. The first time the client was there and wasted half a day trying to get the squirrels to a sanctuary, she even went through the brash which had been stacked for a few days picking off the snails so they didnt go through the chipper! It might sound bad but any thing I kill gets dispached by a swift blow to the back of the head, verry quick. I wouldnt put any thing through the chipper.
