  1. We only got a colour one last week...
  2. There's two things that make your teeth fall out. Kissing girls and eating stuff like that
  3. Do you mind, we're having a decent convo here ...
  4. At least I'm not so skinny that I can be big shotted into the tree
  5. Little and often John, your better touching them up every couple of hours on finger teeth rather than having to grind loads off to square a rounded edge. Grinder and diamond disc though
  6. Ed, I'd also have a spare alternator on standby mate, they go not long after abusing them by submerging in muddy water
  7. You should have a minimum charge anyway, mine is £50 -60. Then ontop of that I reckon on £60 per hour nice and steady plus a set of finger teeth and juice By your reckoning Ian you'll end up charging £30 for a 10" stump that could be down steps and across 50ft wide flower beds
  8. Aye...I forgot tha's only a pup...
  9. Owen (Treeworker) explained something like that to me once, couldn't remember though
  10. Was that in the olden days Mike ??
  11. Shouldn't that braid alternate Frank, top leg over top of lower braid then under then over, you've got over, under under
  12. Dont you find over the phone quoting a bit nhit and miss Dave, or do you just say thats a rough idea ?
  13. The Bullerjans are efficient at around 70% but the Dunsley Yorkshire is better still at 75%
  14. Rear shocks must be too long if your dislocating. You haven't been using your work truck to go playing in have you, that is very bad. That truck is for earning money, not playing
  15. No, I mean expensive, he wasn't winning any jobs...
  16. Just one little thing John, dont tell the customer you own the machine if your taking something down and they ask for it grinding, they expect it done for nowt. If it s a small weedy stump just tell them you will only charge the hire of the machine which is £50-60
  17. A Stumpguy I know has given up on per inch pricing, it always works out expensive, he has gone to an hourly rate plus teeth. Most stumps you can look at and go "Eeerm, that'll be £100" ..and it will take you half hour of grinding
  18. My first act as PM would be to give Tree Surgeons 100% tax relief on their earnings and free beer for life.
  19. I wasn't sure Bob, I had to get two Elm specailists in to check it and confirm it for me
  20. Jacket spud cooked on elm Sat ontop of unburnt log, closed the stove door and shut down to low for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Spot on
  21. I like the last pic Josh, but what the front end like
  22. Ebay?? Or an ebay shop would be better, take a while to get known but I think he would do huge things with that stuff
  23. He's got talent and a good eye Ed Absolutely stunning
  24. An exemption should apply if your sole trade is Tree surgery and only remove organic arisings that are re-used
