Can I donate the desk date thingy I got in the post from a chipper supplier??
-
Worth mentionign that the meindle airstreams are nearly as good as these fancy boots and chainsaw protective too! Now I have some and intend to not use the scarpas anymore except for comps if I go to any more, semi retired at the moment!
-
Yep, I would never let employees wear them unless hand sawing only and that includes self employed people on my sites/jobs.
-
Its so confusing! But I'm happy with county=carpets. Thats simple enough for me!
-
Thats the spirit!! BT have a contract (or least the customers have a contract with bt) whereby customers rent the line in advance then pay for calls in arrears. Any breach of service is refundabel by bt so its in there interests to repair and its in the contract that they will reapair faults within 24hrs unless its not possibel to do so (floods, earthquakes etc)

I think Dean puts things so much better than I ever can!

I'm not saying there is anything "wrong" with the cut. Nothing really to be learned either way, it went where it was supposed to, jobs a good un. Who cares what the cut looks like? Not me. It does look like a dogs dinner though. Some of my cuts are terrible, as long as the result is good then that is all that matters, but it is satifying when you cut a big tree with a big saw and the cut ends up neat and tidy. Its rewarding in strange way! I didn't feel the need to priase him on such a great job well done when takign the p13s out of the cut was much easier.....

Sorry for confusion.......the last pic I posted was of a different beech tree job, not the one this thread is about.
-
Do counties always have white roofs?
-
Hmmm.......might do. I'm climbing though!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure I can afford you as a groundie and it would be a long way, its wrong side of cheltenham from Bristol. Its the next but one in this line, so not the one behind the tree we felled already but the one behind that so not very visible in this pic.
-
No you wear them whenever you want but you don't admit it on a public forum. Thats the message I'm getting. I've used them lots in the summer, if I use them with a saw now and then thats up to me, I'm not going to shout about it though.
-
Thank you. And thanks for all the compliments guys, not expected but nice!
-
I agree we shouldn't be paying. Difficult situations there, it sounds like bt are stalling and the intermittant thign is an issue as its not a direct fault. I cut a phone line this year with hedge trimmers, got the customer to report a fault, fixed within the day no worrries, no bill, no questions.
-
Stick 280 on it for lights, don't worry about anything I say ever, and get the job done.
-
Do you love him? Its a dogs dinner!
-
Thats a good point, and I don't know the answer. I would lie and say there were no trees, once the engineer is there he has to repair the fault. But, I can see that you can't go round telling people that they need to lie!! The general answer is BT won't clear round lines just to prevent possibel damage. That will never happen. If folk want to ensure there is no damage then they can pay to have tree pruned back, but the best advice is to not worry about and if it stops working then report a fault.
-
You don't need clearance for bt lines, so its no ones responsiblity. If the lines wear out or get damages by trees then its BT's responsibility to repair or replace them but no one needs to ensure that the damage doesn't occur in the first place. Its BT's policy to repair within 24 hours so its its no big deal.
-
I wouldn't be posing next to that dogs dinner of a felling cut!
-
Good point! Chances are someone else will do it without lights!
-
Depends on what your insurance company require. The C&G is usefull if you have to mess with the lights at all but generally they should be ok once going but you will be responsible for them once the bloke that set it up has gone, even if you are up the tree, someone has to be in charge/responsible. Of course it would need to be both ways, they don't do one way lights!
-
200+ for a day I think, all set up for you to full chapter 8 standards. The City & Guilds certification is for road works, not just traffic lights. You need it just for setting up basic signs and cones and insurance companies would require it if working on or near highways. And that includes parking in a road outside someones house and feeding the chipper there.
-
What do your insurance company require you to do in order to stay insured? City and guilds certificate in road works would be a good start, it allows you to operate traffic lights. If you get a company in to set them up thats fine but someone on site needs to be qualified. Yes, you should tell highways dept. mostly just in case there is something else planned in the same area.

Saddos!!!!!! I'm off to the LDV forum now!
-
Oh ok, so just a comfort thing really.
-
I'm not involved in that process but they told me they had chosen a Tulip tree as a replacement. It will be planted at the other end of the shrub bed in February.
