They have to publish the address/location of the tree, otherwise the public can't comment on the proposed action which would defeat the object of the application. All you need is the address, and send a letter to the "owner/occupier"

I think some companies have secretaries with nothing to do, might as well get them to check the planning applications on line and send a letter out to each applicant (even though there is an ajent already) promoting their company. If you get a small response then it justifies the existance of the secretary. I wouldn't do it myself, but I'm sure a secretary would just see it as part of the job.

Stein rigging tension pulley worth the cost?

Bad english is ok, but american ismsaint..... -
I remember one year a companay invited every "subbie" they had used over the last year and quite a few other local companies too. Ended up with the biggest punch up I'd ever seen, many girlfriends there were ex's of other tree guys who were there, and some wives went not knowing that their bit on the side would be there too and guys who had undercut/slagged off/stolen from each other were all in same room, it was great.

Windows movie maker. Some fungi evident but I didn't see it. Client wanted full removal or nothing, and got a survey that gave enough evidence to lift the TPO for remoaval, so I did. I would heve reduced side weight if asked too, not bothered either way.

Mountain lunge.

I'm glad I didn't recomend it, but how long would you leave a tree that size leanign towards a listed building? Apparently the lean had increased recently. Anyway not much evident fronm the face cut.

Lass pointed to MS200T saying 'professional' and 192T saying 'amateur'. And amateur aren't supposed to buy tophandles in the UK so not much point marketing it here? Thats just my guess. In Northern Ireland if its available form Stihl Eire, then no worries. The Uk laws should still apply to amateur not buying it.
-
I do my best! 088 with 3ft bar for felling, but I started the face cut with an 066. Then I put the 4 foot bar on for ringing. Second pic is decay where a branch was removed in 1952 by the owner.

My pleasure. I thought everyone was bored stupid by now! I've got some big butt fallign video especially for you!
-
I would have been glad of it today!

If I remember rightly, Stihl UK does not cover Northern Ireland. Nothing to do with politics more like logistics I guess. Its not that they are not fit for use in the Uk, there are perfectly fit, but stihl UK don't do them. They must be CE marked though they are sold all over Europe? No? I would guess that because you need a license to buy a tophandle saw in the UK, Stihl UK don't want to offer us proffessionals a cheaper option and the market is not big enough to have two models, but in Europe where no such restriction apply, no domestic type would buy an expensive 200t but the 192t is an attractive alternative. Thats my guess anyway.

I guess yours would Peter, and be able to reach and lift in 6 foots? Never mind, we've got to split it one day anyway!
-
I don't know about easier! No hiab big enough to lift even 6 foots of that trunk would fit in the drive way I don't think! There would be quite a reach to the base end of the trunk anyway. My mate that I use with the forwarder certainly couldn't get to it, and I wouldn't pay to get anyone else in. No metal in it, that we found anyway! Still a bit more to move tomorrow!
-
Sliced it and split it onsite with the spitter.
-
I think I'm offcially bored of this job now! Stevie, you know you were right!
-
I say pub, but I actually went for an indian meal last night, and had a bit too much red wine! Usually Lager in the pub, Guiness in the midst of winter (now)
-
(pub was fun tonight)

If your paying for it then its not a referal! What the hell is a referal company? No such thing. Why would anyone go to a company to get a referal? Speak to them again and ask them what a referal comapny is, and when they tell you say you don't understand, could they please explain it in simpler terms, and keep going until eventually they won't understand what they actually do, and then ask them why you should give them any money and they won't be able to answer! Play the parasitic )%^&%)&_^+) at their own game!

Whne we are busy its full crew and chipper and taking debris away at 450-750 a day, but we are not busy so I cna do day works at 250 aslong as I can turn uo in my car an dtake nothign back with me. I have the overheads of a small company so wouldn't work for less, but I can get enough work done in a day for them to on good earner, I hope.
-
I assume they want your money? Bin it!

£150 in the SE of uk I have found. That includes all tickets include a first aid, dr licance that enables 7.5 ton & tow (pre 97 is it?) climb kit, 200 saw, (rigging gear if required) & sweat. I just picked up some freelance work today which will help fill in some gaps in the jan/feb slow time. 250 a day, and he's got a bargain! Thats without rigging gear!
