  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Nice1 thanks:thumbup1: I will hopefully have a go this weekend and post the pics up.
  4. Ahh right thanks fellas. So would that be a class 2 type splice? The yellow and black one which I dont doubt Jonesie got it right looks like this. [ATTACH]38891[/ATTACH] Actually are they both double braids and what type of eye splice should I try to attempt? Ta
  5. Which is marlowbraid the pic or the yellow and black stuff? If it helps I bought the yellow and black stuff from Jonsie.
  6. Or well identify it for me please. [ATTACH]38882[/ATTACH] I bought some a good while ago to make prussik loops out of but was considering splicing a bit of it but I cant remember what it is, therefore dont known which type of splicing to do. Any help mucho apreciato. I also have some yellow and black stuff but I think thats marlow double braid.
  7. Just some random ones. I guess the yellow one is butter cup but thats the limit of my knowledge on flowers. [ATTACH]38837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38839[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38840[/ATTACH]
  8. But I must get the last word in though..... cant think of any though:001_huh:
  9. No worries I think you missed my point though. Meant to say, as an arborist I look at the straight down the bar quite a lot.
  10. We dont always do what were supposed to in life and sometimes we pay the consequences. Next time you do 31 in a 30 zone think of the above if you run someone over or have an accident. Not a rant or poke but just something to think about.
  11. Ahh right cool. I just really look at the pics:blushing: I'll go and check it out in a bit more detail.
  12. Ive been waiting 10 years for some of mine but no one has asked for them so I havent bothered chasing them up.
  13. Oh yeah, strapping tight elastic bandages around your torso is supposed to help with support, but never tried it so dont know if it helps.
  14. Will be book marking it for sure. Just a thought I had and was going to mention it in one of your fungi threads but how about a monthly report as such on what fungi can be found at the time, hosts plus possible effects on trees etc. I know your not looking for suggestions like this but thought I best mention it before I forget. Keep up the good work as it is interesting stuff.
  15. LOL yeah thats about all you can do. I did it years ago and tbh it still hurt every now and then for years afterwards, although it probably was because I carried on working and didnt rest like I was told. So I recommend a rest for at least a week or 2 if you can that is!
  16. Sad news indeed. Must be terrifying for the friends and family of the victims.Thoughts go out to them all. Pity it looks like he killed himself, also a pity we dont hang draw and quarter such people anymore.
  17. Its called cutting the ears off and I use it loads even on small stuff that has stringy bark. It stops it tearing and either pulling your strop down if tied in or hanging on and dropping on whatever you were trying to gob it away from. Good on willow,lime,elm,oak ,etc.
  18. OUCH! Hope he's allright with no lasting problems from that!
  19. That wont be easy to clip in one handed!
  20. Now that is very underhanded. I dont believe that anyone has a right to any work ie on my patch, thats an old customer of mine etc but that is nicking work that I wouldnt be happy about.
  21. Looks like a Mimosa tree, from Africa. Thats all I know, and it may be wrong!
  22. Ah well it makes me want to buy the book to see what all the fuss is about.
  23. The one you made looked fairly good to me.
  24. Looks well neat and tidy:thumbup1:
  25. I think its to do with the danger of the job. It's not like anyone can just go and unblock a sink now is it:001_rolleyes: Plus what if he didnt do it right, there could be water all over the floor and everthing!
