    I've rescued several cats and the calls come at dusk so the light is fading and the time is tight. I think its a business transaction and b***** the good will. If the fire and rescue and the RSPCA will not get the cat down then you have to be paid. £ 40 for the last one. If its a friend or neighbour then plenty of ale will do.

    Is that a NPTC approved form? That sheet colourful it is , following a discussion with a friend it is not suitable for AA approved contractors . It does not show the qualifications of the inspector, who they are etc. It also does not show CE or EN approval numbers. I put the place of inspection on my record sheets too.

    Re: 2nd hand crankshaft for a TW 30? Ha-ha what you want is for a Timber Wolf chipper, not a TW-30 the big ole ford tractors.

    As a seasoned tree-man I cannot see the reasoning behind Ed's choice of wet chip unless he wishes to bring home a few sackfuls of residues each night. Nobody here comes home and slings wet wood on their fire. ( maybe they do). I would think that he, like most of us would rather have a less demanding machine that can be fed the premium fuel rather than a premium machine that must be fed a premuim fuel. a costing that may be of interest follows. http://www.actionrenewables.org/uploads_documents/LgeDomesticWoodBoiler.pdf

    as we all know graduates are two a penny, but degrees are still a benchmark of learning. Newton Rigg / Lancaster Uni. do a Forestry degree that is distance learning with some block class time. It was aimed at those with OND/HND wod wanted to upgrade. I know one guy who did it.

    I used to spray paint my saws in recognisable colours, light blue or lime green. seemed a shame to spoil a brand new saw but none got stolen. when I stopped painting them more dissapeared

    I'm sure the owners of a popular New Forest Pub where not pleased when thieves cleaned out the larder and freezers. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4002126.Christmas_dinner_goes_ahead_after_thieves_stole_turkeys/

    Anyone mention that the branches are wery heavy, no need for step cuts and chuck as they snap off with the slightest of cuts. The spines and sap ate a real pain. I loaded the brush into the truck with the crane trailer and chomped it down rather than try chipping it. the spines point to the tips of the branches and when you drag them or push into a chipper they are digging in.

    perfect for snagging on every last twig!
