Surely if the impact was so hard your toes will be mush??
-
Not wearing steel toecaps I guess???
-
Yes cause thats what I said:001_rolleyes:
-
Exactly!!! So an experience saw operator should be perfectly safe

If felling is risky, you climb and dismantle. Sure there can be human error, but you should choose a safe method. I've cocked up a couple of times, was always stupidity on my part, not inherent danger of the job.
-
Cars are far more dangerous, what do drivers charge???
-
Its dangerous if you don't know what your doing, but there are very safe ways of doing our job. Otherwise we would never get started as the RA could not be completed.

I fear you have missed my point.
-
Ouch!! how did you manage that???
-
Its not, thats my point.
-
Have you a link to Tescotalk???

You get what you pay for, why do you think most good climbers go on their own, either starting their own Co, or becoming a subbie.
-
Are you getting a second machine or starting a night shift???
-
Ah, with you now Yes, there are people who think they are worth a fortune, when in reality there are plenty of other lads queuing up to do a better job for less. Its funny the best lads I've had in the past were always the least greedy and the rubbish ones always wanted more. Not used a subbie for a while, used Peter a few times in the past.

Got to ask whats an "aeroplane pilot"?? and if they are quiet how can they have such a large effect on the industry IMO, those who charge too little are the problem, if you think about it the less people charge, the less there is to go round.

I'm approved as a "self supplier" using Arb arising (I never call it waste) We sent them council purchase orders for the felling work instead of the felling license thats require for woodland timber. I did do the application myself, a consultant sorted it.

Went to site, assessed the situation then came home, in this snow we would be pretty unproductive and working on a snow covered banking, climbing snow covered trees is not the safest. Rang the construction firm we are working for and they did not expect us to work They then asked me to price a large site clearance this afternoon, so all worked out well really

IME, some cats don't know how to climb down. Because of the way the claws work they need do descend backwards. I had a ginger tom who was excellent at climbing trees, could go straight up a limbless stem and simply reverse back down.

So far today the weather is mostly white

Depends what he actually does and how replaceable he is. Sounds a lot for a basic groundie, but maybe he's very good and you would struggle to replace him?
-
I would sooner eat my own feet that deal with this firm, "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you":sneaky2: I will endêver to never again give them a single penny.

:congrats: Excellent

Great attitude
-
Personally I think you need more experience before leading a team or an exceptional natural climber. IMO you need to be in a position to step in and carry out any task you ask the lads to do. Reading the replies above has reminded me why I work for myself with minimul staff. Good lucky:thumbup1:
