Err we just dont need people like that in society, puff of madness or not. Either commit them to a mental asylum and monitor or just do away with them. If it was a mad dog it would be put down, so many people coulda been killed or injured in those two motorway accidents.

If were starting to talk about coal and oil I remember either watching a really interesting program or reading in something somewhere that they may think coal and oil its produced differently than how we thought it was. Hmmm reading that back it coulda been a fat bloke down the pub that told me.

Looks like a sorbus to me an you can get some decent diameter ones. Failing that maybe a hornbeam.

Does the old exhaust have to be welded up for performance? I've seen on some if the yank sites that they just add another port or get an exhaust from a magnum and leave the old port open, I think. I did a bit of tinkering on the old 46 and 66 a while ago, hardly anything drastic since they didn't sound much louder, will have another go me thinks.

I can usual find most of the stihl manuals on PDF so just post in the chainsaw section what manuals your after and I'll see what I can do.

Gotta agree there LAR!! How are these people still trading and not locked up for fraud:confused1: This scam has been going on for years and loads of people musta reported them! Funnily enough though, all these scheme/scams seem to be picking up pace again now, they had been very quite over the last 12-18 months ie I used to get loads of these calls but not recently.
-
Now surely that deserves a little award in being the laziest and most pathetic why to try and scam someone. I hope you gave them a right ticking off and that they must try harder next time. Oh and just so I know its you I'm replying to can you send me your bank/credit card details and pin number so I can verify you please? Shows you though they must catch loads of people out with these calls.

Measure the circumference at breast height, divide that by 3.14 to get the dbh.

You can also get plastic caps that will fit over the nut when youve cut them to size like suggested above (also a good tip about threading the nut of first, I do the same:thumbup1:) If they need to be really flush then you would need to use dome headed coach bolts but they can be a lot more hassle to fit plus they would but upside down and you would loose the benefits that Skyhuck mentioned earlier on.

The thing that impresses most of my customers is how good a job we do with the rake and blower! They seem to miss the bit were we spent 3 days removing 10 ton of ivy ridden pop without smashing there green house, fences and lawn to bits. Although I'm not that impressive to look at and I doubt my climbing skills are that entertaining.

Method Statements an insult to intelligence
Mesterh replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in General chat
What they have asked of me though is a MS for that job, they always insist on it. They want dates, site location and how you are going to tackle that job ie tree group a and b will be straight felled tree group c will be section felled due to close proximity of pedestrian area tree group d will be burnt at the stake because its full of ivy and I dont want to climb it etc etc. They always say to me not a generic one. -
Method Statements an insult to intelligence
Mesterh replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in General chat
Sounds like a nice bit of bed time reading that one. Ive never been asked for generic ones they always want a site specific MS. There are a few sites Ive been on where Ive had to supply 5 or 6 different MS for each and every job on the same site. Also dont forget Dean we probably do more MS than we really think, there have been plenty of times I've talked a customer through how we are going to do a job. I agree though it is all just a load of rubbish along with all paper work imo, although the lads putting fences up around a site, using excavators,dumper trucks erecting scaffolding, etc etc also need to provide MS's. -
Pedal bikes with pedals that is.

You have a chin strap? Its probably best to ask the college tutor tbh, it might be their policy.

Depends on how tall you are ie is it going on top of the roof or bolted to it underneath.

Looks like someone is about to whip their little fella out, is that what you meant by cum dancing?

Tbh working away isnt my bag baby:001_smile: But, if that is your thing and you are a good climber then I dont doubt that you can and will find work at a good rate. Big/good contracts do come and go but imo you have to move with them, it is more difficult to be productive in one area but thats the way I prefer it, I could definitely make more coin by subbing and moving but its not something I like to do.

what do you use to flush your oil reserve on your saw?
Mesterh replied to Ian Flatters's topic in Maintenance help
that. Ive never had any success really in unblocking an oil pump by tryin to flush the tank. Dunno how the 088 oil system works pu if it isnt oiling I would remove the pump clean it out and the oil feed line. Will work then for another 10 years:thumbup: -
I probably did the same as Skyhuck in all intense and purpose. I whittled down working as a subbie(ahem) from 5 days a week to 3 then to 2 then to all my own work. That was prob about 8 years ago but tbh I dont have 5 days a week full time, more like 4 if at very best. I would hazard at a guess that it would take at least 5 years on your own to hold your own, but obviously depends on you and the work available in your working area.

Yep the tax payer pays for those that use public transport even though its still not that cheap to use. IMO there needs to be really SERIOUS look at the way we transport our selves and our goods to make a good environmental and economic way of transporting stuff. An people on bikes need a right good slapping!
