Awesome rigging and i take my hat off to you:adore:. Just an observation and not in any way a critism but was there no way the ground crew could have got the trailer under those lumps? just thinking they could have made life easier for themselves and less sawdust

I havn't a clue about the problem sorry! Just wanted to say that i used a company called "milner off road" for parts for my L200. I have had my head gasket go twice and a water pump and these guys saved me a fortune. Good luck in finding a soloution:thumbup1:

Yeah love the BBC showing the rogue traders: then on homes under the hammer one morning showed a guy with no PPE and using a top handle to clear ground:sneaky2:

it will be packed down so you can work easily then on entering the water it will inflate!

I have been using this phone for the past year and a half:samsung m110http://www.buildersphone.co.uk/samsung-m110.html?ie=UTF8&tag=hubmaker-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B001A2WZXW I can highly recommend if all your concerned about is making and recieving calls and texts! The camera is rubbish but the radio attachment comes in handy now and again when hedge trimming:thumbup1:

The story is a large ash growing on a boundary within a TPO blanket order after development. The customer would love it down due to its size and proximity to the house. Personally i am not looking to find ways to fell just best practice.

Yeah i googled and i have come up with quite alot. i especially liked the old tree reports affecting TPO'd trees. The facts are there but just wanted to pick all the brains on here too. From my experiece in the work place daldinia concentrica has been found in the trunks around 2/3 up and obviously affected the trunk higher up. So in theory and all other infections accounted for if the limb was taken back to trunk then it could be eradicated. cheers guys

I didn't climb this tree but the climber who has 20+ years experience said that the whole tree did not feel right! The tree is covered by a TPO and we were just taking branches in by 5m but have noticed the coals on a large branch closer to the trunk. So need to speak with TO today about a site meeting and to discuss. just wanted to get my facts straight:thumbup1:

I have just read that it only affects dead wood? So can it move to live? how does it progress?

Hi everyone i am after some enlightenment please. I am able to identify this fungus by the king alfreds cakes/ coals, and i have picked up that it causes decay in trees and there structures. What i would like to know is how it goes about this? Specifically does it attck limbs then move downwards to the trunks or vise versa? Interested really in how it attacks, i really hope this makes sense to someone:blushing: Cheers guys

a good chat to a good friend and a rant on here and i am fine now will get onto things tomorrow:thumbup1: its only machinary and its what happens, Still have my health family and friends:thumbup: cheers guys

weather i can deal with lol

I nearly lost it today:thumbdown: Things have been ok but things breaking down, time off, and money worries have all been nigling however this week i thought things were going my way.1. I got my head gasket and a full service on my truck done running like a dream. 2. I rebuilt a chainsaw that i was told should be binned. 3. I had work in 4. My cousin got his conviction quashed and told that he had been wrongly imprisoned:thumbup1: Then on Friday morning my truck overheats again and things took a turn for the worse again. Water was pouring outta my water pump:angry: My mate said that it was very unlucky that that has gone aswell. So smiled bought a water pump and gave it to him to fix! Then he phones me this afternoon and tells me that my head gasket has gone again and that its cooked, after only15 miles. I was boiling and hoping mad nearly drove the car off without the little one strapped in! I am still fuming as i just feel i have been robbed and mugged off again and agian! I am not sure if i am stressed or not i just feel numb today really thought i was getting somewhere. but really i am getting no where!

it was the stench of two stroke that made her mad:lol:

Hi guys Just some photos of the project Spent an Hour on her tonight!!! had to finish as i forgot the piston stopper:blushing: I am hoping now that i can get away with stripping any further than getting the clutch off. As you can see in the photos its glistening with oil. That was the problem an horrendous oil leak prob. Spent ten minutes scrubbing and degreasing casings, filters and gubbings. So far so good but with my luck i am bound to run into a prob tomorrow:thumbup1:

Well for someone who hasn't been working in the industry long your not doing to bad mate. As with everything in life practice makes perfect, and the more time that the saw is in your hands the better you will get.

I once was sat in a van eating lunch admiring a fine specimen of a Monkey puzzle. When next thing i know i have two councillors set about aggressivly asking me what i was going to do to the tree! It kinda makes you feel that you have to be that way back. However i have learnt the hard way that the best course of action is just to be polite, have a chat and hopefully leave a good impression that we are proffesionals with our own high standards of work. Hope that is the text book answer you were looking for! oh and also told them i was just having my lunch!

you don't come across at all like that:laugh1:

I get what your saying ham, and the majority of people have good intentions! But sometimes these people are just the neighbourhood bully/ curtain twitcher and they need to be put back in their box's!

I like that response your boss gave Rich think i will have to put that in the memory banks to be brought out soon:lol: Worked for Andy Goddard this week and he had an ex councillor pestering him for three days!!!!! So a big well done to Andy for keeping his cool:congrats:

spot on!

IMO and looking at photos only. My plan would have been to cut and chuck the vast majority of the trunks/timber straight into the back of a wagon with a small bed of chip in it:thumbup1:. just my two pennies worth. still good fell tho!

im kinda thinking that otherwise i could give it to a mate who could do it! but as i said i just wanna have a go:blushing:

After being told my husqvarna was beyond economical repair i put it to one side however i found the exact part i was after:001_smile: The problem was i had a severe oil leak from my oil tank (via the bar bolts) covering the exhaust:sneaky2: I am now the owner of a oil tank/ saw body for the exact model a 345. But i am now left wondering how hard/easy it would be to strip my old 345 down and rebuild it on the new body. I am not a complete mechanical muppet but also i am not that much of a motor head either. Will i need any specialist tools? What do you guys think? I have a spare day to do it so its not a matter losing money but more of a good challenge. Opinions good or bad please, except stihl are better blah blah:lol: Cheers in advance for your comments

Rain and overcast!!!! You have spoilt my idea of california forever, think i might cross malibu of my to do list LOL
