  1. They dont need to as we all have to have insurance by law, now if only a law was passed that people had to have there trees pruned EVERY year we could all then afford to pay insurance no problems. As it is I have my great great great grandad as the main driver, he has 150 years no claims discount.
  2. Vehicle insurance be it business or domestic is ruthless ATM.
  3. Any non oem cylinders available for the 020 or ms200t yet?
  4. Ouch! Hoping for a speedy recovery. I think your right about the dog, it needs to be reported as it could happen again, in fact hopefully the owner is already taking the right steps.
  5. Heartless cruel scum. They guy who jumped in to try and save it must be right hard bugger! I suppose they will have to change the old saying as they have proved it wrong now. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it sink."
  6. Did you sort it out then?
  7. TBH im not entirely sure but it would include Dying and Dangerous rather than diseased and damaged. Damaged would probably allow a vast number of TPO'D trees to be removed.
  8. And you leave the house to go to work for what?................................ Never dealt with any porn stars but many a fat slag.
  9. 'Edible but not good' maybe best to leave them then. Although 'if' I thought you would be right on to what they are not 'if', have you used the fungi directory above?
  10. Are they the edible ones?
  11. A better idea is to give the saw a good few quick, short high revs and make the ground staff aware of it meaning 'get a coffee on the go, Im on the way down' Well, I assume thats what you want a whistle for! Or just throw little stogs at them.

    Wallpaper scraper. the ones with a long handle are good. Sometimes it comes off easier from the top peeling down and sometimes you can rip loads off from the base right the way up, and sometimes it comes off in inch long bits. If its in the fascia board and the board looks old it can fall to bits so be prepared for that ie warn the customer first.
  13. You need a new book! Seriously though surely theres no chance that would constitute a DDD order to fell. Would be interesting though to follow how/if the crack develops and what affect it has any.
  14. I think the duty of care always lies with the owner. I have heard so many tree owners complain about TO decisions and say they will place the blame on the TO if the tree falls,splits,etc etc and kills someone damages property etc. I don't know if it's ever been tried in a court of law though.
  15. 45 quid for a pair of gloves! For that price they had best come with a pair of hands attached to a groundie! I bought a pair of the cutter ones. seem fairly tough and flexible, I have been testing them to the extreme.
  16. Con artists, hate them. I would rather someone came up to me and stole a saw from under my nose than deal with people like that.:thumbdown: I hope you get your money and they pay 10 fold, one way or another!
  17. Am I the only one that thinks if the trees have caused the damage then the owner of the trees should be paying for the repair? It will no doubt cost more to repair and strengthen the wall to accommodate the trees than to just repair it after the trees have gone. Why should the owner of the wall have to get involved in all that cost?
  18. Tbh I would be very surprised if just cleaning the tank works. The holes in the filter are fairly big and plenty gets through to the pump hence why I suggest removing and cleaning it and the pipe. Good luck though, hope it works.
  19. Probably blockage in the oil pump (99% certain as it happens often) you will need to remove the clutch/drive sprocket, remove the oil pump and manually move the drive worm in the pup to back the blockage out. Also low the oil feed pipe and filter out and drain the gunk out of the oil tank. I swill some petrol about in the oil tank to break the oil down a bit and getbrid of more sawdust/ wood chip that gets intomthe tank. I did a thread on how to do it but it's died and disappeared somewhere now.
  20. Easily fixed with a helicoil thread repair insert. Your local dealer should be able to repair it or you can buy a DIY kit for around £30-40 iirc. Will repair about 5 threads for that price. Edit:make sure he buys the short inserts if he gets the kit.
  21. I never got all my tickets printed on the card but since it was back in 2000-2001 and no one has asked to see it I dont think ill bother now!
  22. If you are referring to the pic that central posted its not relevant to this thread ie its not the same tree.
  23. Sounds like a typical pricing scenario to me. Have nothing to do with the after sales, just price to do what you do and let them rake in the cash from the timber sales!
  24. Wheres the flag this post button gone.
  25. Can we assume then that if we book a MEWP out for tree work it SHOULD come equipped with a mesh separator? Surely the professional contractor here ie the MEWP operator should know what is required for the job. I would be livid if they turned up and wouldnt carry out the work.
