I have a whippet , doesn't shed , likes to be out and about as much as on the couch at home .Try JR Whipet rescue on FB . They have them come up quite often .  

I'm looking for additional help shortly for a ground based cutters , climbers may also be helpful .Usual certs and CSCS card helpful however can be arranged .

Anyone interested PM Me . 

Its something clients are asking for now . To be fair most other qualifications such as machinery operations ect require refresher or resits . With my assessors head on and not contractors I might run some refresher courses on the Devon Somerset border this summer if there is enough interest . I've just got to get some spiking poles set up and I'm good to go . 

Gristwood are really near there they take it 

If people don't like the wages learn to type and leave the industry . All this talk of everyone else getting all this money is as bad as farmers . I've lads on decent money leave because they can get double elsewhere just to bounce around from job to job for years after . Usually the ones with this talk aren't even a week in hand with payments and hassling for payment within minutes of finishing the job . If I could lay bricks maybe I would but I know it wouldn't be straight and I would want to live in a house I'd built as I've not the eye for it .  I've enjoyed tree work and couldn't imagine doing anything else . As for a short career as a subbie climber I agree but it longer than it was . A lot of the big stuff is done mechanically and lifting equipment with avant and diggers makes bigger work just fun now.

Er - enough to make a reasonable, and ok only reasonable, living based on what we do.  If you can't have a decent take home freelance climbing on 40-48k a year gross then you're getting it wrong .

 

 

Exactly the sort of money my subbies are getting , I supply the saws and fuel as I'm bored of lads turning up with broken saws so I think they are doing pretty well . On this there are those that completely take the piss for this type of return also . 

As per the title can anyone reccomend a grapplesaw operator in the Bolton area . That is all thank you 

I still have a complete one with a damaged winch which could be repaired with the right pair of hands . Strictly collection only though . Devon?Somerset border 

Housing for youngsters is terrifying , the rental market round here is probably the same as the rest of the country . Its never been so easy being in arb and living in the countryside finding accommodation. New builds are awful and a single person is pretty much priced out of the market . I've done some domestic works  at estate type properties and they have empty cottages which I just don't understand .

I am looking for staff for a couple of roles as usual Commercial climbing arborist with the usual quals and ground staff/landscape operatives to assist with the tree teams and undertake fencing ground based de veg works and landscaping .Machine certs would be helpful . PAYE or regular part time self employed . Call 07855 316780

The annoying thing I questioned their ability to pay when the spec on the job changed I had promises it was all good , my advise when working for a recently formed company get a written directors guarantee. It will be interesting to see what the debts are as they were only trading a few years ,my accountant has said 60 k to hmrc which must mean they made alot surely .

The company directors involved are now both working for a company owned by their wives and all absolutely legal .  

The company in question here have now gone into voluntary liquidation . It seems to me things are set up to help people in debt and of course wriggle out of it than those poor folks who have grafted for the money .

Climbers required for ongoing works .

This is mainly commercial work with no rail , utility or highways .

This may suit a utility cutter who's had enough of lines. 

PAYE or subbie - Call 07855 316780 to discuss 

I've got to do this also , really not looking forward to it . 

I'm looking for a telehandler for yard and smallholding use . What size would I need for loading lorries with chip . If I get one it might as well be big enough for this .

The local utility company i believe insist employees provide their own saws . This I understand from a large company you could just imagine the loss and damage . There is a weekly payment so not a bad way to own a saw for weekenders .

Thanks treebeard and JLA Sandoes are on it for us 

Can anyone reccomend a roboflail for North Cornwall,  operated or selfdrive . Tia

Climbers and ground based staff required for commercial tree works and the odd landscaping project . 

Some work away available with excellent renumeration . Call 07855 316780 . 

That is a funny video mate I should contact him . Retired climber you're right I can't get blood out of a stone but this company has some serious backing so it will be interesting how far they will let it fall . I can't believe there is no issues for directors . Surely if they are made to go bankrupt it would affect further business .I am asked if this has ever happened when getting finance or insurance ect . Is it a question wit no real consequence?

Way too much for small claims , I will follow it until they are shut down if I have to . Every now and again you get a kick in the knackers like this and it just makes you a little harder nosed .
