Thats class Simon We did the same with a fox and used to walk it like a dog on the lead, got some right looks, but the call of the wild was too strong and eventually it went off into the wood one day and never came back
-
Theres cheap knuckles and there's dear knuckles, the professional knuckles are black the diy are silver, I forget which make it is, but if they are black coloured they are strong. Again, buy cheap buy twice

Come on Dave, can't do that !! My street cred will take a nose dive, I've got an image to keep up mate

I think they were around £200, a lot of money I know and even I winched handing it over, but the quality is outstanding, really solid stable ladders, you really do feel safe on them they are that good. For hedges they are really good, but like I mentioned, they are heavy but that comes with using thick aluminium to make them solid. You can even buy leg extenders for leveling up on a side slope
-
In that case tell her I'm a perfectionist and even good is not good enough
-
The stitching on that trouser patch is crap also
-
Thats some pair of high heals Rupe

Bobs your man for splicing Tachyon he did an awesome job of mine a few times now, that looks absolutely crap Rich

Here ya go Rhys, I got the six rung but you'd get plenty with five or four rung, video too Little Giant Ladder System - World's best selling ladder range | Ladders Online [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgBKWjMKxN8&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - little-giant-24-in-1-movie.mov[/ame]

I have the six rung version of these which are the most awesomist but heaviest ladders available, some many combinations and will setup on a slope and or flat against the hedge You can even stand up straight on the very top rung with confidence they are that sturdy, the sturdiest ladders known to man Promaster Telescopic Combination Ladder - Combination Ladders by ABRU
-
Or 3ft sections if you get the 3 rung

Ooops, sorry Dad ! On the topic of whipping...........the splice I did the other week ? I didn't lockstitch it and thought I'd test it to the max. I have been using it as a lower rope and loading the eye something chronic, dropped some really big branches off on it and the eye hasn't moved even one thread I'd climb on it with no lock stitch mo worries
-
Thats the same set I'm thinking ofd getting sold under the Abru brand name, at the moment I have the six rung little giant ladder system which are awesome ladders but very very heavy. I am going to buy some of the abru combis just for the smaller jobs or for putting between conifers as a foot hold
-
Got a picture Rhys
-
Not a critisism Old Snake and I'm no splicer, but I'd have put the whipping a lot nearer to the eye
-
Should've drove the landy out before you put the fence up in the last photo
-
Hahaha I'm glad you changed your mind and put the rear bearing in BEFORE you drove the seal in between vid 1 and 2. I see you paused to think about it at the end of vid 1
-
Yes that gives me a good idea Thanks
-
What was it exactly that you priced from service metals ? I drew up a cutting list with ali planking but never got round to getting a price.

I've just been looking at that john and double checking dates, confused for a wee while

I personally would dig a test hole down the side of one of the house walls and see what the foundations are and what they are sat on, if you get down to shaley or solid rock then dont worry, nowts going to happen and if it is a modern house on clay it should be on a raft foundation

I wasn't refering to your comment felix, it was higher up the thread Your point on the being responsible for mechanical take down is a good one ...and yes it's the wording that counts, but a nice simple "advised to seek expert advise" Similar to how house surveys are carried out, they in one sentence say, "Roof looks suspect" then in the next say, "Advise roofer to come in and take a closer look" or, "Electrical wiring may need attention, advise suitably qualified electritian inspect" What is the point of having someone in to do a house survey when they pass the book on to professionals, we may as well have just got the professionals in to start.
