Why is that?
-
Was the guy who died using waste oil or was it from new stuff? I only ask because I thought it was waste that was carcinogenic, otherwise I would of thought the amount we breathe in and get on our face and hands each day would cause a lot of us to drop like flies.
-
Well I reckon there should also be a fine for those posting complaining about a pointless thread complaining about pointless posts! Oh and aye.
-
Could it be a branch from another apple thats now been removed? I woulda thought a hanger would die before it had a chance to fuse with live wood. Excellent though whatever the story.

Sounds like you know what to do next time then, take the points. I did it awhile ago, thought it was ok and better than getting 3 points, so what if it cost a few quid I shouldnt have been speeding in the first place. I bet you had a right monk on all day.

The legal law part. Rest breaks : Directgov - Employment 20 mins in 6 hours seems a bit tight to me!

Man killed by a tree in Worthing West Sussex?
Mesterh replied to Pat Ferrett's topic in General chat
I'm sure the daily mail have changed that story from when I read it this morning! Anyhow must of been terrible for the family and neighbours:thumbdown: -
Good stuff if thats how its best for you. I'd be gutted if I didnt have time for a bit of a nap at dinner. As for doobin! surely you gotta be extracting the urine on those hours!

Fake "Non Compliant Chainsaws Dangerous" on Youtube
Mesterh replied to Stihl Alive's topic in General chat
I bet they wouldnt try that hammer swing blow on a MS200T chain brake. Goes to show if you dont hang silly weights off your cheapo chainsaw it will probably be ok. -
Apparently its like walking but you move your legs quicker! We did it in PE classes in school but since buying a car I hardly have to even walk these days.
-
Really? You dont stop at all? I work from 8-4:30 ish. But that is just the time I get to the yard and the time I leave. More often than not I will finish earlier and leave all those little jobs for another day:sneaky2: Actual working hours are very different and they dont include the hours of pricing, paper work, blah blah blah.
-
Try this stuff aswell. Web site has some good info on how to use it. Home I think the hts 2000 is easier to use than the durafix, ive used both but cant remember the difference as it was a while ago.
-
A good cause.
-
Why on earth are you thinking about blagging the customer into a fell then? Sorry but it is out of order simply because you think its an awkward job. You may as well tell them its dangerous and it could fall over and kill someone.
-
I like to use sēmantiká per se.
-
Surely though thats per man per hour. £25 aint bad. I have rates, heating water, elec etc etc. £50 ish is taking the pee a bit I think.
-
Nope, surely thats the main reason why we are tree surgeons!? Remove that and we are fallers.

He woulda run a mile at the sight of the ladder.

I've read a couple of times that you don't like doing written quotes but is that just domestic? With commercial I always have to provide a written quote.
-
It's pointless using the chain brake if your one handing anyway so best to not bother putting it on in the first place. Or is that for another poll:laugh1: As already said, that's what your thumb is for.
-
That tells you there is a problem with the vent. Dunno where it is but it sounds blocked/faulty.
-
Any other losers like me?CS31 not going too well ):

Do you have your own saw? If so get used to the balance of it when performing your bottom cut and back cut. That,ime is where bad cuts go bad, ie not horizontal and cutting down or up at an angle. Slide your left hand around the handle until it sits level and get a feel for it, then in the corner to get the angle for the top cut,nice and easy to do back home. -
Did you get those tips from the TV series Rogue Traders?

Money talks as they say. Whenever I up my prices the amount of work winning drops. There will always be someone willing to do the job cheaper, I dont buy into the "Well they wont be in business for long" idea, they will, because they will survive, plus there are always new firms starting who will do the work cheap. I have won a few jobs even though Im more expensive but I reckon the vast majority are because Im cheap or I want the money they thought it would be. No doubt if I talked the customer up I could prob win more work but I just cant be doing with that tbh.
