  1. Do you really think a MEWP would be quicker???????:confused1:
  2. An arctic load is 25/27 tonne, so £600 for 16tonne is around the same.
  3. Indeed Stevie, But if you are the one with the skill or the equipment, why line someone else's pocket?? When I was a subie climber I only ever climbed for "real" tree firms, but as I got more skilled and was making them more coin I wanted more, the did not want to pay it, so I set up on my own.
  4. Really???????? We have loads of those in our house, I often pick them up and have never been bitten.
  5. Don't take it seriously!!:lol: But I agree its a VERY good point well made!!!
  6. I trust you would charge them for the wood
  7. Yes, not his fault the tenant has cocked up. Of cause your mate WILL have told them he has rented out the building, as he needs landlords insurance NOT occupiers insurance, if he hasn't he is screwed
  8. A tenant does not insure the building, the landlord does. Tenants normally only have contents insurance.
  9. Even if it does, tickets and other HSE "recommendations" are not law, your driving license is. But speed limits ARE law, BUT I know of NO insurance co refusing to pay out for a speeding driver.
  10. As fire wood prices increase, I think you will find you end up only getting crap bumped. The woodland is the way, as Ed says, you could make charcoal etc, and may even in time get permission to build a house under an agricultural license (or what ever they are called) if you can show you NEED to be there.
  11. My advice would be get a hiab or small loader or both, humping logs around is much worse for you than climbing. I've had tennis elbow in the past, I found it passed after around three years. I would not cut back on the climbing, I find the more I do the better I feel. I also avoid long breaks, I find a week at the most or I tend to stiffen up or injure myself when I return to work. The other problem with cutting back on climbing is the less you do the harder it gets. The other thing is you will start putting on weight, we all know those great big fat ex-climbers. PS, only use those long clipper for VERY short periods, they are VERY, VERY, bad on the vib front!!! IME.
  12. Sorry but, IME this is utter rubbish!! Please give me ONE example of an insurer not paying out due to a company that had not followed HSE "recommendations".
  13. Fully aware of that, but I NEVER allow the timber to influence my price, it could be hollow, shook or full of iron. If it ain't happy days
  14. I was under the impression that it had to be milled on site due to poor access. But even if you sell it in the length, its easy too give the impression YOU are paying the buyer to move it
  15. I'd happily sell it from site.
  16. I thought the mill-able stuff was staying put??
  17. Indeed. But personally I don't want grass cutting firms doing tree work. It's only my opinion, but I prefer to specialize, I only do tree work, NOTHING else.
  18. And VERY,VERY, busy £600 for 2 men for a day ain't bad.
  19. Sounds like you guys had a blast!! Really sorry I missed it
  20. I think your probably right Dean. The ancient Britons used to fight naked, as they had realised that an arrow or sword wound through clothing was more likely to lead to fever and death.
