Rip the stem into 4 (by cutting a big cross down the center of the stem) then lower three of them off the fourth then slab that down.

I was told 6 mpg, apparently JCB put a huge tank on the new ones so they can say it will work all day on a tank of fuel.

How would they know where a firm was working, without asking and tipping them off??

Big firm shafts little guy, little guy fights back and wins, theres a book coming out about it, simples

To be honest I think for many this is just window dressing. I personally think more emphasis should be put on the climber be ready at all times to self rescue. Only use a rope that can get you down in one pitch!! Keep you rope clear and rerouted for a straight decent!! Don't leave pegs!! I know at least two guys who cut them selves badly and would have bleed to death waiting for even the fastest climber to come get them, the both got themselves down and lived to tell the tale.

Not heard its cancerous, but it is horrendous and can make you cough to the point of vomiting.

David, get it in the pot!!!! It will have a lovely hint of apple flavor now!!!

You freely admit you made the error's, so really it would have been wrong for him to pass you. If you knew you were too tired to make the cuts correctly it was dangerous of you to continue and you should have stopped. I don't wish to be harsh, but we work every day with potential danger and taking personal responsibility for all your actions is vital. Its easy to find things to blame when things go wrong, you can blame the saw, the tree, the weather, but in reality we have to look at all these things before we make the cut, if we chose to go ahead and make that cut, whatever happens is 100% our responsibility.

I always thought the 64 was a little lighter and had a smaller bottom end.

Not at all I just don't agree that Stevie is "a bit sad", I find most of his posts are helpful, friendly and encouraging

Or has some time on his hands and enjoys helping others.

How so?

Why do people need to put a time frame on their quotes????? I think all this legal claptrap makes more trouble than it prevents. I give almost no written quotes, just my word and my hand shake. I often get people ringing months after a quote, the first thing they ask is "you quoted months ago, will your quote still stand??" I can then decide if it does or not. If something changes between quoting and doing the job, I discuss it before starting the job and come to a mutually acceptable agreement or walk. If you did a written quote and then they change the access they have no legal right to make you do the job. When you give a quote you are not entering into a contract, you are stating the price you will charge if you chose to do the job.

I too am very pleased to have a Representative of the AA on here, thanks for taking the time. I'm not the AA's biggest fan (but them I'm a bit anti authority and rules)

Threads like this just encourage him mate

It must be a long PM, its not landed yet.
-
No, because I was dropping down for the next cut:001_smile:

He may think that saw is above shoulder hight, buts just the camera angel As if I would ever do something so dangerous I think I even have a second anchor in that shot (Tim will be pleased)

I don't like it Stevie. Its a bit too "southern".

To me this thread shows the pit fall of having fire wood warriors to take your wood. IMO its better to price the job to cover the cost of removing the timber and if the fire wood boys turn up, you can either have a nice bonus or give the customer a bit of discount (best advert there is in my book) There is no way on earth I would have been ringing that up on site, I find it hard to believe that it would have cost more to get a hiab wagon in than all the labour of cutting, humping, hauling in little trucks and then clearing the saw dust.
