I thought about this thread the other day and my golfers elbow started playing up, or was that my tennis elbow? Anyway will have to give it a go before the Chrimbo pig in me sets up its stall. Im guessing 3 after the new year.

It is an interesting thread. To me it shows the obvious split not between public and private sector workers but the split between the self employed/business owners and public sector workers. We have all heard both sides, "Well it must be great to run your own business and decide who you work for and when"...... "It must be great to have a secure income knowing you are getting paid £xxxx every week" etc, etc. Although a self employed/business owner I certainly dont agree with the tory way of doing things and think they will truly be the downfall of this country and destroy a hell of a lot of good Labour have done. Well unless you are the multi millionaires that the tories cater for. The tories want to move everything into the private sector which is no good for the common working man, which I am. As for Clarkson, stupid use of words, "Shoot them all"

Likes like hes dropping a banger, I hope you scooped it?

Excellent. A bit gutting to think there is no tpo when too many scabby old syc's and pops have one. Although the tree owner sounds like a good bloke so a big major plus and definitely worth more than just a tpo!

Listening to people that say..... they used to be a tree surgeon, they used to climb trees as a kid and could do the job if they had the gear, they have done the hard bit but the ladders wouldn't go any higher, they were going to do it themselves but thought its best left to a professional blah blah blag blag bollocks. That and dragging brash and timber through a tiny little gap people like to call their garden.

Great if that's one thing fixed, well sort of but stihl shouldn't send them out like that in the first place Anyway, isn't that the first to check with a saw, I always run a hand over the top of the chain to make sure its tensioned up ok. I would have thought this would show up quite easily?
-
I thought that in general wood had a MC of around 19-20% and it would stabilise at that. Therefore isnt it pointless getting any lower unless its vacuum packed and used immediately after opening?
-
Looks like a cracking tree. Any ideas/estimates on how old it is?

Along time ago one of the lads I worked with(while subbing) brought his dog into work one day, thats all it lasted, one day. He and his dog would have been found dead under a pile of chip if he had tried it again. I could see no problem if they are out working in the woods on their own but not on domestic with other lads in the van.

what do you think of this lime tree reduction boys
Mesterh replied to mapletreecare's topic in General chat
Maybe it was a public sector worker who thought... "Stuff this teaching job for a laugh I'm going to go and earn my own money doing a proper job, no one can complain about me then" If they had only pruned the sides it would have been 10x better! -
They weren't climbing saws, they were hobby saws with a handle on the top!
-
He does speak absolute shite, buts its funny shite. How un English of these public sector workers striking. They should stay downtrodden and keep theirs mouths shut.

The petzl ball lock ones aren't too bad but it is best you try one out first as they can be fiddlely to some. Anyway shouldn't you still be using a screwgate? I always preferred those over the three way but I am now so used to three way krabs I would probably launch myself out of a tree if I tried with the good old screwgate again!
-
With this thread and others about the 201 it does sound like a hell of alot are either having trouble with the saw or just don't rate it compared to the 020. Maybe husky are doing the right thing by pissing about making sure its right first time!!
-
Nearly always use a ladder for access into the crown, only because it's more professional than using spikes. Hardly ever use them to work off, only really when it can't be done from climbing or when its alot quicker.
-
Ah right onto the 13 year compost heap at the bottom of the yard. Ha, do you compost it yourself then or take it to a green waste recycling site? Just wondering what everyone does, chip we give away, timber some gets processed excess given away and the useless mushy stuff goes for recycling to a GW site.
-
Those who 100% recycle what do you do with rotten timber?
-
Who the insurance company?
-
Not all of us. I would charge treble if it was an emergency.:humbup1: Charge a good rate, especially if the insurance are paying.
-
Yes it is wrong! Cant you get some nasty parasites from dogs doing stuff like that? I dont know how people let dogs like their faces and mouths!!

Heard it today, so for me it is now officially Christmas. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwHyuraau4Q]The Pogues & Kirsty McColl Fairytale Of New York - YouTube[/ame]

Whatever origin or ethnicity it was it tasted great. A real nice mushroomy flavour, plucked from the corpse of an elderberry I killed a few weeks ago.

Something needs to be done to help growth in small business. Whether that's tax breaks or incentives to employ or just the help with loaning I dont know but the large business have had it far too good for far too long. Makes me sick to see companies complaining that their profits are down by £xxxmillion and how they are struggling. Many small firms have been losing money not profit.

You need a new banksman! You need to see something in the mirrors, if its not the chipper or bits added on to help its a good banksman who doesnt just randomly wave then grubble stop when you are a nanometre away from something!

brought a tear to my eye. Thats the kind of Karma I receive.
