"In the eyes of those collecting it" is what I said. Its gold to them. Whatever its classed as is irrelavant, I guess most scrap collectors don't have a wcl, yet we are supposed to for woodchip and logs which a far less like waste than old cars and stuff. Dean, I'm with you. We shouldn't have the wcl. Except that I do have one.

Yes I didn't think anyone was actually slagging anyone else off but my point is that it should be the best kept secret in the industry, so don't ever mention you have it to anyone ever, or else its "can you take the pile of garden rubbish" etc etc. Play the "I only take recyclable materials" card. it wins everytime. We are saving the planet after all! (Thers your sarcasm!)
-
Especially when its not your customer.

And scrap isn't "waste" either. It has value and is therefore goods in the eyes of those collecting it. I doubt the EA would agree though.

Even though I have a wcl I think its fool hardy to tell private clients about it and/or to slag off competitors. The last thing we want is cleints thinking we are licensed to take away their waste! I get out of removing stump grindings cos they are not recyclable, and I don't take garden waste cos its waste! So the last thing I need is clients knowing anything about wcl. Thats part of the paradox of having it in the first place. Non of us want to be a waste removal service, we should be paid for tree work not haulage. We can recycle the arisings so thats good for us, and if that adds to profit then even better. SO we have a license for something we don't want to do? Does not make sense. I only have it to keep the LA happy. If I get pulled I'll be fine but at the same time I'd happilly try and talk my way out of it if I didn't have the wcl.

You don't need to see it working if you have only been asked to supply the wood.

I agree! It looks ok if you are there becaus its real, so obviously not wall paper!! I thought they would all crack and go grey but so far so good, they get some protection from the elements and not much direct sunlight, its just a small courtyard in a pub. The point of the story is to do whatever the designer wants as they are often a good source of work! This particular one is extremely expensive so any jobs I get through her are going to be for wealthly clients, so she wants 60mm rings of hardwood, she gets it, no charge.

I got a load cut for a garden designer once but they were for a log wall not a floor. I thought that idea was crazy but they still look ok 2 years later. The were 60mm thick and various hardwoods of all sizes.

I got led astray and found this instead

No, more photo shopped than that!! I'm sure you can find it yourself.

I googled chernobly photos and got a good one of miss chernobyl, but its probably not appropriate!

My main camera has images at 2300 x 1700 pixels. and they go striaght in so I was assuming the software re sizes it from that size ok. My other camera is higher resolution (but worse pictures) and they need re sizeing bofore they get accepted.
-
Under 400 KB shoudl be ok, or about 2300 x 1700 pixels. Thats a bit large but I think the site downsizes them if need be but not if they are any bigger than that in the first place.
-
Thats a big bar for a 180... Stihl only list up to a 14inch bar for that saw and jonesie stocks a 16 inch, but yours is 18 inch if you go by the 470 mm measurement. Are you sure it that long? Measure the length with it on the saw, you only need to measure the bit that sticks out to give you the size not the entire bar. That part number is not for the chain either, whats it on?

is it ok to upgrade my MS260 sprocket size to 3/8?
Rupe replied to aleach1728's topic in General chat
The 13 inch chain is pretty much useless. Even 15 inch 3/8 is rare but I would be tempted to try it on my 044. A possible thing to do would be to get chain breaker and riveter and make all the chains into some more useful lengths? I'm guessing they were all made by mistake and sold cheap to get rid of them. Cutting and joining them together would make them useful again. -

Not much call for 13 inch 3/8 chain! -

Nice Subaru in the bottom right hand corner! -
Usually a bit expensive for their age as they are all imported, but that means they often have every conceivable extra like air con etc. Manual ones are quite rare, our Japenese friends seems to prefer automatics.

The other end of the scale would be to say that at, if at any point the employers thought the he was stupid, or millitant, then they should/could of sacked him before this event occurred. I'm all for workers being compensated, but I'm also all for workers being sacked if they hint at the fact that thay might need compensation.

Judges all go in favor of the injured party that why we all pay insurance. Its all very well sayign this is a stupid case but most "accidents" are stupidity, they now have to be someones fault and if there is an insurance policy then there is a claim. personally I'd have fallen off the ladder on purpose if I was told to do that kind of work. UK minch is right, even though it is a sad world where this kind of thing goes on.

Someones been round drawing penises on all the tory ones along the main road into town so its not all bad!!

Isn't that what we used to call lions tailing?
