Im Employed, I get payed fortnightly, well im supposed to, The (ill refrain from swearing to much) lousy good for nothing Wa**** has delayed my pay the last 5 times and this time i get a cheque instead of going straight into my bank, Now i have to wait til tuesday for it to clear, Not that im bitter of course!! :mad1:
-

Awesome mate, yours is great, the one that won is outstanding tho, i reckon you should have come 2nd

If your serious ill be interested in what you have to say!! I do consider myself a GOOD groundsman, i have been doing the job 8 years now, Worked in most sectors, im confident in felling anything and also working with climbers/ lowering ropes and devices! I was thinking between 18 and 21k a year would be a decent wage, With a view to hopefully going up IF someone takes the time out to teach me to climb better as at the moment my current comapny isnt doing this!!
-
Good work mate, I like that!!
-
As above really, was wondering what you guys and girls thought is a good wage for a good, very experienced groundie?? that also has climbing certs. CS38/39 but there climbing needs work. Im talking cards in (Employed) per annum as opposed to day rate!!

I was in Cologne, Germany, a while ago and it was there i first viewed the Plane as a "nice" tree, I have work and loads over here and found them obviously very irritating to work with but on the bank of the river rhine there must of been 40/50 that i saw and they did look great!!

What is the best and worst thing about being a Tree Surgeon
Mozza replied to Bald Monkey's topic in General chat
Best = working outside, Id still rather be outside in the rain doing tree work than in an office and jesus ive been wet this week Worst = The "can you just while your here customers" I HATE those and as previously mentioned Dogs***. -
I had the lowering rope out but it was apparantly quicker to cut and hold! Just a note, i havnt put up this thread to have a dig at my workmate, quite the opposite, was just wondering what the forum thinks!!

Bit of a story behind this. Was at work today, My Foreman went up a Sycamore that was to section fell, there was a fence under it that couldnt be damaged, Anyway he did the easy bits first and i sned it then chipped it, It got to the tricky bit over the fence, He did a few branches with step cuts and then started to hold the branch and cut threw it BUT his fingers were literally 2 0r 3 inches away from the running saw, very very close, How he didnt cut himself ill never know, He is a very very good climber but i thought id mention it as id be the giving first aid, The response i got was "what the F*** do you know youve only be climbing 18 months" Cutting and holding has it place sure but........... Would you guys (experienced climbers) really cut and hold 2 inches from your hand??

Maybe the council have gotten all caught up in the kinda health and safety to the public thing at the moment. With a few trees going over recently and sadly people gettin injured or sadly killed there wanting to take the "sail" out of said trees??? Just an idea
-

Haix get my vote too, went threw loads of crap when i first started the job but have had haix for a few years now, Although lots of people are raving about the Pfanner boots so i might try them next time!!
