Many of the small business owners in the UK send a written quotation for the work. That is the price and the specification of the work. It is a document that may be accepted as a contract in UK law. Norwegian laws may be different. It takes a few days longer to send the quote but it also means the client cannot ask for more work at the same price if the work is done to the required standards.

Nailer , remember its only Capital Purchases that are over 2K +vat that count. My Yellow pages bill was over 2k one year but that was not allowed.

seek prof. financial advice for clarity.

Mats like these?

We hired them in.

I can ask my man who can.

Is it still possible to paint the leaves of epicormic growth with contact herbicides ( not systemic or translocated, for obvious reasons) it was a practice i knew of 20 years ago.

WGS is dead and has been replaced by a new scheme.

It was probably 10 years ago mind and things have moved on.

here is a start.

:icon14:I have lots of crappy cordwood that you can have when it turns into coal in the next 150 million years, i cant guarantee it will be smokeles though.

Get the groundsman to pay for it, maybe then in future he will respect your tools better!

If he is PAYE then you cannot dock his pay to cover breakages.

If you do it could mean he could take the matter to an industrial tribunal and would probably win.

Its still better to contact the local authority first.

Unlike A*** an arb firm who worked in a conservation area in Christchurch and are being investigated for Illegal tree felling.

Hi Steve,

 

So tell me, do British climbers use Cambium Savers to minimize cambial damage to trees at the climbers Tie in Point, you know rope damage in crotches?

 

yep even if we spike up the tree to top it.

I have been sent details of a free H+S training day for tree workers in the New Forest area.

The last time I did Woodland Grant work it was funded at 50 % rate. So we doubled our costings and got 50% of 200% which was the 100% required.

Know the forms and play the rules to the limit to win.

Nice tune.

20 years on and its still worth 3 minutes.

Nobody mentioned GMI at sidcup in kent.

They are cheap, quick to take your money , they don't like giving credit. For some making the whole payment in one go is too hard though.

Not sure what this years cost will be as we had a 3rd party claim against us recently. I'm guessing at about 1500 quid.

If anyone else has has claims against their insurance I would be keen to know how much it affected the premiums

but not the wars they keep losing.

That reminds me of this old tune.

Good equipment is never a waste of money.

nice vid.

being a southerner ( who went to Newton Rigg) I dont remember seeing an elm that size.

I had hoped to photograph the guy up the staging but by the time I had collected some monry nearby the guy was down.

The Mewp has its place, there was little sound wood up this honey, so out came the hoist ,safer than climbing it. I would rather have the tree down but the owners wanted it trimmed up, whatever that is.So I ( re)topped it. The top lost up to 5 metres in height.

hows this for a homebrew topping. sorry but the pic is a bit dark.

... in fact any where near water!

are you sure your not just a soap dodger.

I in fact any where near water!

your just a soap dodger.

What % rate did you apply for nailer.

I put in at 9% for forestry when i changed to flat rate 2 years ago.

Good point steve.

If you have a reasonable size business you can apply for an exemption certificate. Consult your tax office.
