What's the good thing to kill tooth ache thanks
Gray git replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
Vodka and hold it in your mouth over the tooth for about 5min, numbs it up nicely and if it doesn't drink the rest of the bottle and you'll no longer care and the bad head in the morning will give you something else to think about. Nowt worse than toothache, over half my back left teeth are held together with mettle from being kicked by a horse and still occasionally give jip which is guaranteed to make me more grumpy than normal -
Rock antics new place at newton aycliffe, not quite finished yet but open now after a 2 month stall. Think the main wall is 25ish m with a pritty epic overhang. Whole place is going to be really good once all the walls are up and all the other facilities in the same building are finished.

Day off also as worked yesterday,. Last day of summer.holidays so off to climbing wall with hannah, her power to weight ratio is perfect for this stuff but just needs a bit more reach for some moves. Last picture shows what we are working towards, lad climbing that was impressive to watch!

Love it when you have half the tree down before the client realises your on site because you need to fire up the chipper. Find it brilliant for street tree lifting as communication with groundstaff is so much easier!

Must say that's not everyday but sometimes it just builds up like that and I just do em all in a 1ner particularly if local authority work comes in as often multi sites dotted around an area which is normally easy as can do it evening or weekend but can still end up confused as to which needed what. Need a better system as sat looking at my desk covered in bits of paper, 3 note books and old envelopes with phone messages scribble on them trying to make some order of it all.

Ha ha I wish!!

To late mick, traded my beloved quadchip against a shiny new forst st8.it was an option consider as would have given the opportunity to run two teams if necessary but if I need big I just go proper big and get this in for a few hrs and fill ever truck, trailer and Sandwich box I can find,
-
The 150 is a good machine ty but a little slower than the quadchip as the way the rotor is geared gives it less rpm but really liked it when I had 1 on hire while quadchip was away. Thought about a big jensen like that when I was.looking to upgrade but decided against as it's a huge lump to be pulling around for everyday use.

I'm thinking more along the lines of something I can use from 1st phone call - name, address, phone number. On site, further contact details, email address, work to do, tick boxes for what to do with arisings, stumps, timber etc, extra equipment needed to remind me to get this information while there and make it easier when back at office after looking at potentially 15 jobs in the day what I actually needed so generate the quote and send it. Also act as a reminder if we get the job that we needed an extra bit of gear or also contact a neighbour before going etc.

Ooh, not good! That's going to be a git to get out unless you have a die grinder.
-
Think any fixed device is a two man job to fit really and if your doing the sort of rigging that needs such a big device your going to have 2 + men on site.
-
Is that a sheet to take with you when quoting to fill in detail or a job sheet to give team leader on morning explaining job they are off to do? Asking as just trying to do a quoting sheet myself to remind me to get all information I'll need later.

Quick question, if you use the winch on the smart winch to lift a limb from say over a roof can you still lower this section using the winch as the bollard or do you need to always use the outer collar? I get the bit about dynamic loading the winch drum with drop shocking it being potentially destructive but in lighter rigging isn't it the advantages of these types of device to be able to pre tension, lift and then lower all in 1 sequence? Mostly asking as really fancy 1 for the big takedowns we seem to be getting more of these days and now my lads are much more competent and experienced I feel it could be a big benefit to us. Any advice welcome.

Most of that had boards onto of the grass so easy to clean off then a beast of a blower to push rest into the boarders then cover with grindings as a mulch to help keep weeds down as woman who has just got the house hates gardening. Twas almost spotless when we left I should add.
-
I climb ddrt so half that as rope doubled over to point last branches stripped off. So more like 70 - 75ft
-
Big western red with tight access today, luckily the hb20 with duels off scraped down the side to grind the stump and decided to mill the trunk into 6x6 beams to use in the yard instead of just ringing it, was deceptively tall as when I came down to help clear a backlog of brash my rope (37m) was only just say long anough.
-
Like that Pete, looked into getting sides made from alloy planking for my tt105 with barn doors on the back and actually didn't work out too ridiculously expensive but never seem to have the time and the money to do it at the same time.
-
Now you're really going to have to modify the top of your chipbox. Look very professional outfit now, well done.
-
Cracking little chipper, Should do you proud.
-
About 4.5 on the speed, lob it in and stand well back. DO NOT get infront of the discharge spout, most chippers hurt if you do this 1 shoots to kill! 😁
-
Your loss on the pies, they are good from that provider of pastry delicacy's. Forst gave me the option of that hopper but went for the folding 1 as the arbortrolly fits in perfectly so comes out even more now.
-
Pruning spikes I hope bud... You will love the TR8 Paul, absolute beast of a machine! Hope you enjoyed the noted pie shop while parked up thismorning, good growlers!

Cedar, Strom damaged tree from a while back.

Sort of work but two photos from today of our stand at reeth show from about and a big table I milled as a demo. Photo of whole stand ain't worth posting as was persisting it down and all blury.

That was tiger tight dropzone! Cool work but had to turn 1st tune off as not my style. Love the comment about free roof sweeping service, thought the TV Arial was going to cop it at 1 point like 😜
