Academic etiquette and writing
scotspine1 replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Training & education
remember that when using botanical names such as, Quercus robur when identifying Pedunculate Oak or English Oak - 'Quercus' describes the genus and 'robur' is the specific epithet not the species as some people may think, the species is Quercus robur -
woodland, I've got a navara kingcab and briefly looked into fitting a highsided tipper then realised it would be a total waste of money as the loadspace is pathetically small. If you were still keen then the cheapest way might be worth looking at the kits you can buy for Landies and adapting one of them to fit the Ranger. You'd probably want to buy a scrapped Ranger Kingcab and use it as the test run before you did it for real on your own Ranger. Other than that Ford did produce A singlecab Ranger tipper as did Nissan with the new NP300 work pickup, might find one on the net going at a fair price.

Scots, lets see those pics of the plane crashed in the tree again?
-
davey, what do you do for a living? just out of interest where is that tree?
-
Been to one in the past when I lived over there, good show. Would never travel across the Atlantic for that type of thing though unless I was selling something or involved in a product etc.

The border material is steel. The turf wasn't lifted prior to laying the chip, the woodchip was six weeks old from an Oak. There were two pounds of earthworms added after the chip went in. The guy with the blower is just tidying up the excess chips. Just wanted to post the pics as I think its excellent and have suggested this method to many clients who have as yet not been convinced mainly due the large area of grass that will be lost.

thats a nice clear stem for rigging Dave, prefer to leve a trunk like that if I'm gonna be rigging down the top stuff. There are times when it may be appropriate to leave a slighly longer stub during removals for aiding rigging anchor points, or a platfrom to stand onto get better work position, or anchor point for pull-line/or climbing line/re-direct for rigging line, to rule out stubs or pegs completely may make the job just that little bit harder, but I get where your coming from in general. Great pic.

Who thinks that mulching round this Oak with Oak woodchip is a good idea?
-
great treework, not an easy job by the looks of it.....crown looked an awkward shape, well done Reg
-
Looks pretty depressing - no trees planted anywhere, must be what the homeowners are looking for? hassle free gardens or something.
-
cheers for the positive feedback, that ufo is a leaf, was a very windy day
-
ha ha thats cool, good to know it's appreciated

There's no end to human folly, people do stupid things, they always have and always will, when confronted with a problem like Dean's you can either stand there and moan about or do something constructive like start thinking of a solution.
-
cheers for the explanation Reg, looking forward to seeing that Oak vid.
-
by that point the ambulance would've been through anyway, problem solved, life returns to normality and Dean is happy again until he finds something else to moan and whine about 5 minutes later
-
stood in front of the the traffic if he felt that strongly about it
-
Really enjoyed watching those vids Gord, amazing place to work, also good to see the wildlife especially the grizzlies. The shot from the helecopter as it sweeps round the mountain at 5.00 in the 1st vid was a bit special. Keep posting those vids.
-
Thanks for posting that Mark, always good to be reminded of these things.
-
if you felt that strongly about it why didnt you do something about it instead of moaning on a tree surgeon's forum thats the trouble with people these days - always moaning and whining instead of getting on with it and finding a solution.
-
cheers for the comments guys stick a h'cam on.... press on, do the job, switch off h'cam, download it at some point later, take about 20 mins to cobble it together on windows movie maker and its there forever, a reminder of the work you did and a tool for learning how to improve, you should give it a try mate, must be doing some interesting jobs in New York.
