Climbing kit LOLER’d every 6 months Rigging Kit every 12 months. Ah,that explains why we have to tell a crane hire company if we intend to use the crane for man-riding.Cheers.

Series III diesel Land Rover 109,soooo slow I keep expecting to get stuck behind me in traffic 26 years on.

Glad you said it John.Wasn't brave enough here.

On wheeled machines,I write "Stolen from.........reward offered.followed by phone number." on the rims and inside the tyres.Tyre fitters are not well paid and would be likely to respond to this.(I hope not to have this theory tried out) Otherwise use letter stamps or weld in post code as if ground out they can be acid etched to reveal the original. And photograph all of your unique identifiers! Too many thieves get off due to insufficient evidence and a clever defence lawyer.

Evnin sor.Got sweaty palms now sir. As a recent entry to the shining path of the certified, a work experienced instructor is easier to take seriously.Go for it.

Must be in a dodgy area,some scumbag has had the engine and gearbox away without them noticing.

I was thinking of hiring a couple of big issue sellers for a temporary closure. Everybody and their dog seem to do anything but go near them. A well thought out mix of double glazing salesmen,preachers and random nutters could quite simply make a highway a no go area.

I'd go for milk stone remover from the local farm supplies. Cheap and very effective,even cleans concrete mixers!

We love five bar tread plate,says it all.

Wow,the new year is really looking up,cheers. That little saw was handy for getting the "organised sequence of cuts" into my head for 31 (snedding),right up to the point that I spotted the family next door watching from their upstairs landing.
-
Can I quote you on that? Oh, I seem to have already,cheers.

Yup done the 16 tonner out of the ditch,the driver was not supprised. Not done the alternator yet. My Landy is like grandfathers axe though!

The machine that lifted it in would have been worth seeing.

Ill octopus need love too.

Happy new year to all. Perfect weather here for watching the fireworks & still enough for the floating lanterns! Good start.:001_smile:

It aint all that bad being single! More money for toys for a start. Dog gave me something orange and white with lower emissions than I could comply with,I gave him a saddle and a packet of Maltesers. My god-daughter gave me something that lasts longer than Christmass Day. Flu. Speaking of The Dog,does Wal and the dog still happen down under?

Chainsaw waders? Where are these strange beasties to be found please?
-
In many cases it would be difficult to justify not bringing in a machine. The HSE "where reasonably practicable" is not easily avoided. In the event of a reportable incident, a response of "it would cost a thousand quid to do it safely" would not wash. Personally, on a lot of sites I would like to see long reach machines used,but I want a chance to climb first!

Engcon tiltrotator. The Swede at the S.E.D. was mind blowing. Must get out more.

Snedding sprouts.

If you didn't tie off to the stem you would have to get a mate of the same mass on the other end of the rope to stop it moving over the crotch.Two of you is twice the load.

Cor. You don't miss much!
