That must have been well scary! Someone on here must have cleaned that lot up?

Cheers for the info. Scaffold, how big is it then?

Its not like in cartoons. Yes Mark, nobodys mum needs grinding so hold your horses on that one fella. Its interesting to see that in this case someone with no equipment (I would say no idea but that might be disrespectful ) would charge more than your average tree firm when usually it is the other way around. I suppose it must be because this is at the bottom of the pricing scale ie the minimum price range of work, quick easy and of no risk to most bona fide firms.

Whoever the people were that kept prompting him to continue posting even though many other people did not like it at all. It was quite comical it was like being back in school again. The class clown was asked to calm it down a bit as not everyone appreciated his 'humour'. Unfortunately it never got through to him because others were singgering and telling him how great he was and that he should just carry on as normal. I dont remember there being a pitch forked lynch mob just a lot of frustrated members who thought the site was being ruined. If he was my mate I would have told him to respect the site and other members and calm it down, not wind him up and pretend everything was OK. It is quite obvious that he seems to be a nice guy in real life which i dont doubt so yes, it is a shame when someone feels pushed out but please dont blame the other members of AT who did not like the way the site was heading at the time.

Turn the piece over so we can see the bark

First one some kind of prunus purple plum is my guess. My mind has gone blank, I call it a purple plum but im sure thats not its proper name:laugh1: Ornamental plum maybe. Has purple leaves, dark bark and spiky bits, loves a good hacking and shoots out like mad.The odd fruit that tastes nice. Second london plane, a real crap tree.

That looks smart:thumbup1: How long does it take to carve something like that?

This as a standard job, but as its for your Mum then err free of charge I think:confused1: Another £40 for the stump but then it would take 5 mins to sort that stump out. They are the jobs I want.

I wouldnt worry about it. Unless there is a good reason you dont need a bat survey.

He would probably still be hear if his so called 'mates' didnt egg him on and escalate the problem. Having manners isnt all about not swearing or raising your voice.

Wages, well that is nearly every business largest expense. Then it is fuel, kit replacement,insurance, rent, then maintenance.

I agree there Steve. Why anybody who knows about arbsafe and hasn't registered their machines is I am sorry to say an idiot. 1. You will stand a far better chance of getting your machines back! 2. It will help put these scum bags behind bars. Now, why doesn't everyone who reads this post put 1 hour away this weekend to register some equipment. Let's not complain that the police are useless when we do nothing to help ourselves.

A difficult one but I am thinking that he has got a double bow on only one boot?

Yeah I agree there, it is about slowing them down but knowing they are there to do something about it.

I can never understand the, why don't unemployed people want to work in crappy job for less than minimum wage like a slave. Because, would you do it? There is something seriously wrong if the whole country is supported by under paid over worked slaves! I don't believe it is, I believe there are just lots off business owners creaming profit from vulnerable abused workers when they could be employing properly. I could make so much more money if I used a few of the local immigrants from the local car wash to drag brash and climb some trees.

I disagree. I am not going to discuss my security but I will know what the thieves are doing before they do it. Forget about alarms, what you need is security cameras that alert you when someone is prowling. Thieves can have what, 4,5,6 hours etc at least breaking in and cleaning the place out before someone might see them using traditional methods.

that would be brilliant, I would love to see something like that. Since every other road is being dug up at the moment I guess there must be some major budget burning is going on.

So, your telling me you take on jobs where there are obstacles in the way!? Mad. Turned quite a few big bits of timber with a big felling lever, just kick the hook in in the right place.

That about sums it up. If he can't sharpen a worn chain to at least as good if not better than a new chain then he needs to improve his sharpening skills. As for a £6 chain being better than the equivalent stihl, that is totally incorrect. Lots of pro users can't sharpen correctly.

Bugger! Ive just a duck in for new years dinner, looks like I will just be serving it to the mother in law.

So is it true or not that people can find themselves a bit stuck when they find their insurance doesn't cover the costs. Ie you take out some basic medical insurance only to find you have some disease that it didn't cover or your insurance premium goes up because you have already had a dose of something nasty? If that's true then the nhs is a far better system, don't forget you can always pay for private health care here as well.

[ame= ] [/ame] Well it has to be Christmas tunes. now.

:lol: Missocial media info at its best. Someone creates a theory against all previous expert knowledge which soon becomes fact. Not having a go at you it just makes me laugh. If im about to bleed to death please have a go at using a life saving tested and approved product rather than think, "Im sure some bloke down the internet said this is a bad idea, so err sorry mate best to leave you to die"

The NHS is something we should all the be proud of:thumbup1:

Have you tried a compression test, I guess you are getting some blow back from the cylinder, worn piston/ring on the carb side.
