I wonder how many hoops we have to jump through compared to say a corgi registration or an electricians tickets, I bet it's a he'll of a lot more

Did a medium sized fairly awkward take down today that I priced at £495, everything had to be lowered and two of us easily finished it in the day leaving site spotless. Customer tipped me £55 which quite shocked me, she insisted I take it. She had just had two different trades in doing jobs, one was a satellite engineer to run a new cable. The job took him 55 minutes and he charged £500 and a locksmith to change her euro locks which took an hour and lightened her purse by a huge amount. She said both men had a small briefcase containing their tools She said that I turned up with thousands upon thousands of pounds worth of equipment, two men, and spent all day sweating like a dog without so much as bending the stem of any of her plants and obviously carried out the job Very professionally for the same amount as they charged. She was absolutely over the moon and said she was pleasantly surprised when she received our quote. Nice to get positive feedback

I believe god, the bible and the fear of god, was the way of keeping the population in check and was invented by the Einstein of the time We should do away with religion now as it obviously doesn't work, most of the worlds wars are religion based. Humans are the most destructive, evil and selfish species on the planet and deserve to be eradicated by their own sword, which is what will happen eventually If we don't eradicate the human race through war, it will be through famine On a brighter note, not bad weather this aft

Just release any pressure when you draw the file backwards and apply pressure when pushing forwards, it clears the swarf without it damaging the surface you are filing and make the file work more efficiently

Your a Gem Daniel, I like your nice chilled out approach to even the most mundane of tasks Like has been said, never file on the backstroke though

Same here with a dunsley Yorkshire stove, no smoke whatsoever when warmed up to operating temp, very efficient Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Clean out your work truck and you'll find all those lost pens I found nine ( which isn't the most I've found ), a spoon and a .410 cartridge. No cheating

My neighbour bought a tipper load from someone else about a month ago, they are still outside in a pile uncovered and so far unused. That tells a tale to me, obviously cheaper, but so wet they are unusable. There,s no point buying my fully seasoned logs and then leaving them outside in the rain (-:

I would insulate, it,s ok warming the unit during the day with free heat from the sun, the problem is then in the evening when the exterior temp is low and inside relatively warmer causing the moisture to condense heavily on the inside. If you insulate well very little heat will be needed to raise the internal temperature, i would have thought you wouldnt need to renew the air in the container, just remove the moisture from the air and drain to the outside

My thoughts exactly. I have had many many dealings with travellers, unfortunately the majority were bad! I also know travellers that would rather die than jib on an handshake. However, I would never in a million years, work for a traveller, unless I knew him very very well or he was recommended by the same

So he,s an expert in tree work then just because he has a mansion?

The only way you,d get a mewp for an hour is if someone was using one that day and did it on their way home. Getting my mewp out, preparing it, checking it etc takes half a day sometimes and then you have the trip to and from, the setting up and then it's to put away again. Your going to struggle to find someone that will only charge you an hours rent Just get a few more Jameson poles

This is mine, Its a GT45D and will easily pick up a decent sized tree whole

In 1 and a half hours, I can drive from one side of the country to the other, I don't think I,ve ever drove more than 20 mins to one of my own jobs

I'm with you Felix, leave well alone if it's got nuts, there's always another night

I have that stuff on the front of my barn, it stops rain and snow blowing in but allows air circulation, no good as a tarp though

It might also need a service they are very temperamental sometimes when nearing a service interval.

I would pay a little more to have uk based call centres.

Super jaws used to be elu, then dewalt now triton. They are good bits of kit I have an elu one buried in the garage. I think they still come up on ebay Oh and they have the "log jaw" to buy as an accessorie

The paperwork hasn't,t come through as yet but we asked about the cooling off period just in case. Then if the tariffs work out near to each other once I have had a session on the calculator, I can decide to either swap or stick with eon. If the tariffs do work out similar I will be back on here apologising with my tail between my legs

It would be good to get some of this kit together at one of the shows and have a little arbtalk gear testing session:001_smile:

Eon charged us 23.4p per unit and the new company charge 12.6p per unit.

Looked a bit cumbersome and fiddley to me, I would say the uniscender would be a much better setup

Investment probably due to under investment in previous years. Top and bottom of it is....eon has been ripping me off by gradually creeping up the tariff until I am paying double what other eon customers are being charged. My point is... Why do they feel the need to charge some customers twice as much as other customers for exactly the same product, when that product should be being sold at a standard rate to all its customers. Top and bottom of it is they are robbing some folk blind and legally getting away with it.
