Now I am confused. Theres loads of jobs I wouldnt like to do so I dont.
-
I thought walnut too or Ailanthus altissima.

Excellent photos:thumbup1: I doubt there are many heartlessness enough buggers out there to not stop on a job like that. Although if it was 2 day old pidgeon chicks I'm not sure I would feel the same way though. An I know that is hypocritical and against the law.

Whats a realistic price to fell one tree
Mesterh replied to TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX's topic in General chat
Depends how much work you have got on and if the job has to be done in x amount of days. Personally I would take longer with less men which would mean more money in mine and my mens pockets rather than subbies. If you had 2 climbers and 4 men on the floor you would also want a nice big 12inch chipper and 7.5 tonner truck to make it work. IMO. -
Your supposed to remove their washing line not use it to pull the tree over.

Love that bit:thumbup: I work the above out at 13 man days so thats £230 per man day. Sounds high to me but probably about right for what plenty of others seem to charge. Going by my £150 per man day on big take downs I'd be just under 2K -
Well its a better color for a start and also a more realistic price. Other than that I would say theres not a lot of difference. Seriously though, it does look like its better built.
-
I just cant understand why people complain about the price after the work has been done! They obviously agreed the price before you started.As long as you do what you say in a professional manner and there happy with the end result what's there to complain about. Would they have been happier if you had gotten rained off half way through or had a mechanical breakdown therefore taking 2 days to do 3 hours work. Bet they would have thought they had got a bargain then!

I dunno I just listened to Colonel Jessop in the film A Few Good Men. I get all my knowledge from the TV and not real life. I think that also when people dont obey orders people die unnecessary too. My last sentence makes no sense to me so I dont expect anyone else to understand it.

I think they are totally different phones tbh. My misses has the iphone which is a brilliant phone but I wouldnt want one and prefer the desire. Does things completely different to the iphone, which is where the problem lies to iphon users imo.

Lol chill out. Hence my mention of the word 'vocation' which you missed out. It would seem many police are there just for the money and not to make a stand as Dean says. It would also seem that many who would like to make a stand have been battered into submission by red tape and prob couldnt care anymore. Being in the police is something I certainly wouldnt want to do but if many of you feel that strongly than maybe you should.Thats the type of people the forces need. Well it seems something stopped them,probably someone on the other end of the mic telling them to follow at a distance.If so I believe they do have to follow orders just like soldiers even if they think its wrong. I dunno the police constantly get a bad rap no matter what they.
-
You both missed your vocations in life. Get to copper training school. No doubt the police should have and could have done more but I bet loads of them are sick and tired of being reprimanded, sacked etc when they do take things further than they should. Really there shouldnt have been a mad man with a shotgun and rifle on the loose. Did he own the guns or steal them?
-
Although it can be called the 'bravo' is that any ungayier? Top phone though.
-
Or, "Hmm all these so called professional tree surgeons are either too busy to do my job or too wimpy to climb that tree. I'm going to start cutting tree's myself and make a fortune" He then proceeds to get aforementioned ladder out of the garage. Tis all good fun.
-
You would hope so but I reckon that death rate would increase from ladder/tree related incidents.
-
What would happen if Mick refused to do the job as did every other tree surgeon. The owner then proceeds to carry out the job himself, falls off his ladder and die's. Come on its all hypothetical.
-
That would have to relate to every bit of tree work I carry out. I could remove a 2 inch limb that gets infected which leads to the decline,death a failure of a mature tree. As long as I give professional advice from the start as Mick has then I'm not going to worry about it in the future. Mick could prune that tree and it will probably still be sound in 20,30,40 etc etc...years time, the tree owner still has to maintain it though. Blame the person who planted it in the first place.
-
Arr right fair enough, there was a bit of talk about balancing so thats why I just mentioned it. I would probably also be liable for 1000's of trees having rotten wounds too. That quote comes from the duty of care that tree owners have to comply with. I take it that no matter what we do the tree owner still has to get the tree checked for defects that may result from our previous work. So as long as its safe when we have finished from then on its the tree owners duty to maintain that safety. Get out of jail card I reckon. Well thats the way I see it, I have enough to worry about never mind someone else's tree that I pruned 5 years ago.
-
I agree with Skyhuck. If balancing or should I say unbalancing was a liability issue I would be liable for 1000's of trees that I have also pruned during power line clearing. As far as I know the utility companies dont have to sign or get disclaimers and the H&S has gone a bit ott from what I hear.
-
I'm sure there really useful and practical but if I turned up with one of those on a job!
-
Crossing two wires is enough to do it mate. They can make a nice big firework display if you bounce a branch off them!
-
Maybe it was auditioning for a high wire circus act.
-
Possibly a sex change then I could be called Maureen and not get embarrassed
-
Only sell in 2 cube loads which is £100 delivered locally. This is 99% if not 100% hardwood.Not that anyone has ever asked around here that they prefer it hard or soft. Although going to put it up this winter prob to £120.
-
Theres no way I would start to get involved if the client wanted me to chuck the arising over into the tree owners garden tbh. In fact I wouldnt get involved in a dispute, if the tree owner consents then all's fair and get on with it but ime you can end up being piggy in the middle and wasting so much time,effort and therefore money in trying to sort it all out.
