Rich Rule

Now let’s see a picture of your ruined hands. Nice work Tommy.

I use wolf garten Ian. Got a saw head and a clippy head for the pole. The clippy head is the one where you can adjust the angles.

No not at all. Most Empires and societies these day have blood on their hands in some way or another. Look at the Belgians and the Congo. The British Empire were equally as bad in a way.

I get your point but it is still racism. I was once threatened outside my own home in London when I refused to give a guy some money as I was in the car. I pulled up and he asked if I lived there and if so go in a get some money for him... He was collecting for cancer research. When I asked him why I should give him some money after the way he spoke, he said my people has enslaved his and I deserved to pay. I told him to F off. Did I look like I had made millions from the slave trade. If I had been born to my family during the slave trade, as a working class North Easterner I would have probably been sold as a sweep or put in the work house. That is a type of slavery. I also posed the question who had actually sold his people to the slavers? Yes, that's right other members of your race.

TBH, I think anyone who has done lots of those types of jobs instantly saw the problems. Size of tree compared to the house. Width of alleyway which everything has to be extracted via. The amount of tip runs you will need to make, the truck full of sawdust after ringing it up to be able to get it down the side alleyway. The list is endless. I haven’t even got onto the stump grinding. Once you get below the surface that stump will be a couple of feet wider. All tacked with a pedestrian stump grinder (madness) or a narrow access machine with a little bit more poke, still a truck full of arisings to get down the alley and away. I think from the comments alone you can tell who has tackled that size of tree before... I know the information was a bit later, but a tree with suspected Inonotus Hispidus isnt the type to be rigging a crown out in 2 pieces. Did anyone take that into account? I would go with another suggestion to the original poster. Contact 3 VAT registered companies who are local to you. Do some research and choose the ones you feel the most confident with. Good luck.

What an ignorant thing to say... Tell that to my friend who was hospitalised after getting the shite smashed out of him walking home through east London in the early hours. It may not be as prominent as the other way around, but to say it doesn’t exist isn’t entirely true.

Haha. That sounds a bit like a toddler tantrum. You have your ways and others have theirs. When you get paid all that cash would you be declaring it? Honest question.

I doubt they could be able to class it as saw protection at the back when there is a zip up the middle. I wear type A these days but I have had a couple pairs of the arborist trousers in type C. They have vents in the forms of mesh just under the belt line.

Look at the picture Tommy posted. His is about 1 mm I would guess.

I was lucky as when I lived in London there was one of the best classic Piano restorers in the country about 1 mile from my house. It is pretty narrow, I would guess about 1mm.

230 over a 150 all day long.

Piano wire mate and make your own wire fid. Or give Nod a call at Treeworker, he used to sell them.

I have a 60m Hank of Cougar Orange. Great for the bigger trees due to lack of bounce. Works great with my rope runners. Never got it going the Akimbo though.

My dad said he thought there was a small earthquake the other day. No I said, It is just a Merlo out there making North Yorkshire’s trees start quaking in fear. ?

Nice splice on a naughty rope. This popped up in my FB timeline last week... Snap!

Wow, great result. Incest with a family member who has a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. Double win right there. ?

Credible or Full of Shit. I do believe it is the latter.

How can they be Full time and Self employed. If they are working for you full time then surely they are classed as an employee and have a package inc PPE, training, holiday and pension etc?

Good luck mate. Maybe add the areas you are willing to work to your post.

How were your new boots? I have had a pair for quite a few years and highly rate them.

Boris and Chris said it themselves last week. Just check out their Paliamentary address from the 11th May. I posted the vid a few pages back.

Comparing the UK to Sweden is a bit pointless in reality. As pointed out in the above posts. Why not compare it to it’s neighbours Norway, Finland and Denmark. Similar population dispersal, similar size of country and populations size. Sweden’s policy isn't looking too clever now is it? Did anyone see the Downing Street briefing on the 11th May? Pretty much admitting they got their estimates wrong as to the potential of the virus. For some reason I cannot post the link. Edit: I can now.

Khriss, all the guys I know in forestry pretty mich chop their saws in after a year or two. Depending on the model or saw. Why bother doing repairs as it is imperative to keep cutting and avoid down time. New saws are better than old. The cost of the saw comes out of the customers pocket, not yours... if you are doing it right that is.
