Count to ten and then get yourself another Pint!

Sorry, I should have said its southern/eastern gloucestershire not "south glos" which is an actual seprate area. But even knowing the distribution (eon, I think) doesn't really help, there website is no good at all for this issue.
-
Yep will do. I remember it beign a pain in the past. You need the MOBILE phone number of someone useful or else you get no where IMO.
-
Cheers, I will message the oracle. Thanks.
-
Does anyone have a contact number to arrange power shut down or trimming back from wires to enable us to remove a tree?? In the south gloucestershire area. I don't knwo where to look as its been a while and none of my contact numbers seem to work anymore!!!!!!! Thanks
-
VT, but have just switch back to a helical hitch for old times sake!!
-
Thats a good one! Inform them that they still own all the debris!! MArtyn-- You should state the date(or number) of the quote. i.e. "I have completed all the work that is written on quote dated(numbered) XYZ. That way it is specific which quote you are refering too. I trust you have copies of the quote and that it was sent to them in an un-alterable format?
-
Are they sayign that the other trees are in the original quote? If so where are they getting that idea from? Do they want a quote for the other trees, so that when thye are done they will pay the whole bill? I like the waste dumping idea the best, I have always thought that that would be what i would do if in the same situation.

Brash mat is ok, but when your choggin you want the chippign to be done and finished with. Often we make a "corral" out of logs and drop the discs into that. Keep them cleared as you drop and no worries!
-
Ok. £40.00.?
-
Where abouts are you?? Postage or collection? I'm in gloucestershire/cheltenham.

Damn, I picked the wrong night to go out!! EL or PL, my favourite rant!!!! You used to have to have EL with PL because you can't (by HSE quidelines) work without someone else on site, therefore if you think your are a big enough concern to have PL then you must therefore Need EL and that was how it was. Then, insurance companies realised that some people (lots of them), who call themselves "subbies" were of the opinion that they were a big enough concern to need PL, even though they were too stupid to realise that they were the "other poeple on site" so insurance companies started selling PL without EL, and the extra revenue has brought my costs down so thanks you muppetts! What was the question again?

Cottaging and glory holes!!

One thing about e bay though is that you can sell a load of crap out of the attick/garage etc and get your paypal account nice and full. Of course it costs you to get the money transfered from paypal, so people use it to buy stuff. Its like money you never had anyway. If you pay over the odds for a chainsaw then no worries, you possibly got over the odds for whatever you sold in the first place. Ultimatly e bay and pay pal are the winners

Carefull!!!

DIY day at home again was it?
-
Here they are. No brackets though, but like I said it was only some two bits of angle iron welded to the chassis of the truck body. One of the mudgaurds still has the bolts in place, they would come out if encouraged too!! The other one seems to have two sets of holes on each side, and one set of holes is quite large. Maybe it got torn off and was replaced slightly off line? I don't know, I didn't notice anything odd when I bought the truck.
-
I've also got the whole rear light board and lights? This was the truck it all came off http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachments/large-equipment/18334d1249140896-new-ldv-chip-truck-ldvds-006.jpg
-
I'll check them out tomorrow. The brackets were only some angle iron, can't remember its still on the mudgaurds or on the truck bed (which went long ago)
-
I've got some black plastic mudgaurds off my LDV going spare, for sale. I was going to use them on mine but decided not too.
-
They are more resistant than some species i.e. they just die slower!! I've removed quite a few large-ish ones that were infected and dying.
-
Only really hurts when on bare skin!! I'm after a new one soon too, TM again I think.
-
No, it must be LWB. SWB is the single back wheel model, rated to 3.1t only. The 3.5t tippers are LWB as standard and XLWB for crew cabs. If your wheelbase is 3.25m then its a LWB.

Oh, I see where your coming form now. I have a yard full of crap wood and some hardwood which I sell after i split with my little splitter, slowly, and I get pocket money and the space back in my yard but thats about all. Your saying you would come for day and turn my pile into xm3 for z£. I thien sell the wood for what its worth to my existing customers and the proffit should (in theory) be high than if I had split it all myself slowly. I don't know if it would be viable or not. For me I'm happy to do a bit here and there. I only have about ten customers within hafl mile of my yard and I keep them topped up as and when required.

Bolt removing kit?? Maybe its too small. Gaffa tape the handle back onto the saw and get back to work tomorrow, sort it out at the weekend.
