I hired in a mewp the other week to reduce a large conifer hedge, It was a compleat wast of money I wish I had climbed it but i guess you have to learn from your mistakes. I think they still have a use in tree surgery though.

Do you guys that have a mill sell the planks or do you use it as a hobby, I've thought of buying one to plank stems up and then try to sell on but is it any more time consuming than just logging up. The other problem I thort of is drying the timber, do you stack yourselves or pay to have it kiln dried.

I have the light weight lowering kit that honey bothers put together. Consists of whoopie sling, flying capstan, rope, a couple of steel carabiners, 2x large slings, large split tail, heavy duty pulley and a bag. I remember how much it was but it was under £500.

I had a aussie work for me once and he had a stainless steel ring that was made to take bottle tops off. I told him all morning to take the thing off but h didnt. Mid morning whilst loading the truck up he jumped off the back of the the truck and swang on the greedy boards any way the ring caught and he wasn't tall enuf for his feet to touch the ground and de gloved his fingure to just below his knuckle. he nearley needed plastic surgery.

Good luck mate, hope you get your money! People come up with all sorts of bull it just aint funny.

Why wont they pay? If its just that they are stitching you up and all work done is properly, garden tidy and nothing broken then id be going around there with a mate. Its not funny not being paid as weve all got bills to pay and you have kept to your quote/word by turning up doing the work and having to pay your ground staff. Happend to me before the bloke s**t him self and got me the cash.

Quite often customers ask if id cut an old stump down "cos it will only take a few seconds with your saw" I bet im not the only one on hear thats herd that one! or the odd dead branch, things that they never ask for when your there doing the quote. Up unitll now ive never charged for doing this as by not doing it or saying that you want more money when they obviosly want it done for free could lead to bad relation no recomendations etc so Id decided a few weeks ago that id charge them a small amount and that would go to charity poss the one chosen on hear, what do you think.
