  1. Now if only Stevie Blair had pruned that, it would never had happened.
  2. We dabble occasionally. Much bigger trees than you though:001_tt2:

    Get in touch mate, one of my guys is leaving, I will have an opening....
  5. Been there and done that. You are working too cheap. Put your prices up, and ask your employer if you can go down to 3 days a week, do your own jobs on the other 2.
  6. Still got that stuff to fell at Leitholm.... won't be till after the harvest though..
  7. All the applications I make come back with 3998, wether CA or TPO. Sounds like the TO is being lazy, I suppose you can just bash on.
  8. Trailer mounted in the woods: Kesla Roof mounted for arb work: Botex.
  9. Any man who thinks its ok to wear a necklace like that deserves a smack round the head.

    RIP Maggie. State funeral I say! In all seriousness I think its pretty disgusting to speak ill of the dead, whatever their politics, especially within hours of the event.
  11. Established Middle class. Not sure about this myself. I would class a lot of my clients as middle class, and I'm not in the same league as them, not the way I see it anyway. Funny story. A friend of mine was shopping in Waitrose in Morningside. He overheard a little boy say to his dad " Daddy does lego have a "t" on the end, like Merlot?" Now that's middle class.

    Dog dilema

    I'm with Mark, just tell her its dead.
  13. Stalking is very hard to find, its very much a who you know thing. There are loads of guides who will take you out for a days stalking for a fee, some not too expensive either. When you look at the cost of stalking leases being around £5per acre per year (some more some less) a few days paid stalking probably works out cheaper.
  14. There's a simple explanation for this, tip an engine on its side and it runs on its own oil, the oil when hot simply burns like fuel. I bet it blew out some blue grey smoke at the time.
  15. Why fell a lump when crane dismantling? what a tool, must be some size of crane to take that shock.
  16. Surprising how many people are into shooting / fishing.
  17. I need to install nasty microsoft products on my nice Macbook, all i need is to run Sage Accounts. I have a deep mistrust of anything microsoft having had several PC's which all went the same way, slower and slower, freezing crashing etc. I honestly think they make them do this so you keep having to buy another. So whats the easiest way to get sage on my Mac and will installing windows ruin my lovely shiny apple?
  18. What's the site like Rab? how about a bulker or big skip, then off to irvine bio plant, they pay £26/ton at the gate, might even cover haulage....
  19. So what exactly are you doing? why does it have to be so manicured? Not knocking it, you're certainly making a good job of it.
  20. Sad but true, most councils have work like that done, we should have a name and shame (the council NOT the contractor) thread so that perhaps the AA could do someting useful and politely write to the council explaining the error of their ways. We have done loads of LA work and always do reductions to a high spec, IMO its quicker than a lollipop anyway, yet other trees in the district that we haven't worked on have been lollipoped. Its a bit of a joke that we have to fill in loads of paperwork, provide tons of NPTC units just to get the job and then they do that.
  21. looks really nice, its not soft then?
  22. The linkage on the diff lock if prone to seizing if it is not used regularly, many aren't. work the lever hard from side to side to try and free off the linkage, try getting under and lubricating it too...
