Ok some of you know im at college and some may not anyway im at college doing tree surgery and im doing CS 30, 31, 38 and 39. What im wondering is when im finished what tickets would be benificial too me or help me find a job? Or should the company i get a job with put me through more tickets as and when required? :wave:
-

so it is true what they say you can buy anything on ebay? why would you sell a tree on ebay and better yet why would someone bid on a tree on ebay?

-

-

-

this is true as for the marriage its too early and im to young and i still think she likes it because she can find new places where she wants to live.
-
My girlfriend doesnt have a problem with me spending time on the site its giving her ideas of where we can move too once im qualified. And she likes looking at the pics of the trees n stuff. So i dunno if thats the same thing or not?

Im at college as some of you may know and im really keen to start with a tree surgeons company before i finish college but im having trouble finding someone that will entertain me can anyone give me advise on how i can make myself more interesting so too speak, i have cs 30 and cs 38 i know its not much but its a start and im keen to get some experience while still learning and i think it will make a difference when looking for a job when i finish college. Im starting to ramble now so ill stop there. Hpe that makes sence. If you could possibly give me some advise that would be great or if anyone knows of any companies in scotland looking it would be much appraciated. cheers guys
-
interesting video i must say a few pointers there to look out for. haha
-
Cheers for the advise guys im back up the woods on monday so ill try some of the methods mentioned and ill let you know how i get on. I think the poles in the garden is a good idea (better then my first plan which was to find a forest and cut some trees down asked a few folk about that and they said no) as long as folk dont mind me digging up the garden but im sure they wont. As for ppe i always wear it still have a vison of a video i seen where a guy is using a saw without any and lets say he will never make that mistake again this vison scares **** out of me everytime i lift a saw.
-
so just so i get this right, the guy went round four or five different people and ended up back at the first couple of you that started the job? or did i read that completely wrong?
-
that would be an epic job to be involved in but the film will do me fine would be good to see pros at work maybe even pick up some tips
-
i done that today and was told im not allowed to do that when doing my back cut i have to cut until im happy then get the tree down i cant go back in to take more out. hope that makes sence it made sence in my head
-
my back cut is usually too high or too low i cant seem to find and even middle. and usually the hing im left with is to thin at one side and too big at the other just a wee note my spellign sucks
-
i know ive just started felling and im just doing training for it but jeezo the said safely take down a tree but when he cut it he ran like hell hmmmmmmmmm that seems safe to me
-
haha only thing i can think of saying is trust garry to find that
