Some great updates, work and kit Simon!

Can that be "would like to feel" ??? If so I'm 18 again

SFI isn't for everyone, chances are you'll be in a group of 30 mixed race immigrants who are there to tick boxes to stay in the country. you get taught whatevers being taught that day and only one tutor. The hardest part about learning swedish is EVERYONE in Stockholm speaks English, will hear you're english and want to talk english to you! I took 3x5week courses, 2h 2x a week in the evenings, cost about 2500SEK per course+books. 1 tutor to 5 students who actually want to learn. then just forced people to speak swedish, and most importantly wasn't afraid to cock up - e.g, the swedish for plant bulbs and fxxk is very similar, my girlfriend was looking for a gardening book titled onions and bulbs, i shouted when i found the book (in swedish across a packed stall in a huge trade fair infront of her very serious aunt and cousin) "look marie I've found the book on fxxking!" another was a song with the lyrics "vill du ligger med mig nu" which is "will you shag me now" but my swedish friend translated it as "will you come to bed with me". so trying to show off my swedish, infront of her parents i got up to go to bed and asked if shed like to come for a shag Accommodation in Stockholm is notoriously hard to get. getting a "1st hand contract" on a rental property or apartment in your position will be near impossible - theres a que system with the housing associations, i was normally around 300 in the list, the people at the top had been in the system 10-20 years (you sign your child up at an early age) Better chances of a second hand contract (sub letting) the only success i had was to put an advert up on Blocket.se (an ebay/gumtree type site) with a picture of myself stating i was English. You can search for places on blocket, but most said they had 30-50 people apply for a room! in my first week of having an advert of myself i had about 15 offers of rooms/appartments. expect to pay around 400quid a month for a room, 550+ for a studio apartment. Ive brought a house now which including bills is cheaper to pay for than just the rent on an apartment! have you got work sorted?

I use a load of varying sized slings, some old carabiners, connected to a rigging plate then a pulley of any sort (twin pulley or HC normally). for spruce/fir/pine with whorls of branches its good to have 2 sets of a system. tag lines are good for cord or if you need to slow stuff down

Before and after of today's re-pollarding of 3 Limes

Yeah, I packed in employment a while back

Certainly was and the tree was smaller than in the pictures that the price was based on

Now finished for the day

Today's job

Why? A 5 litre can here costs about £16-18 or £3.20-£3.60 per liter A 25 liter can £65, or £2.60 per liter

Eddie, why don't you offer the 25L containers in the UK? Much better than buying small 5L cans all the time, and not as heavy an investment as 200L

I spend Mondays at home with my boy, Tuesdays and Wednesdays I drop him off at nursery at 07:30 and pick him up at 15:30. Thursdays just drop him off, his mother picks him up and Fridays he's at home with mum so I work a full day. Works well, never say how long a job will take, if they ask what time I'll be there I'll say 8:30/9:00 as dropping him off at nursery. Everyone understands. Even other contractors I sub to work around my timetable So far it's working well

I used instacollage, an app on the iphone to do this type of side by side

Side by side in the same picture/frame?

I know of a few companies with corporate vest tops. I wear plain black/dark grey sports vests as they are much cooler and stay drier than any cotton shirt. But I always turn up with a polo shirt on over the top Gotta show off the gunns to the chicks hey

Big tree Matty! Ian, it was real easy and efficient with them, but full on as an expected 2 days of felling got crammed into one as some big diggers and 600tonnes of rock is being delivered (un expectedly) on monday to level off the slope/ground the trees on. Still, customer extremely happy, and back there next week on another area. Walkerboys, 18 tonner i believe, something I'm working towards for in a year or so

Efficient looking job Tim! bad luck about the fence Ian Couple pics from today, felling, tractor dragged trees to the hardstanding, sned out, pushed branches to a heap, stacked logs, crane truck cleared up

Probably doesn't help that even visiting arborists and groups such as the ancient tree forum think it's ok to climb all over it to have their pictures and group shots taken. Seemingly the small chain fence doesn't apply to them and their foot fall doesn't affect compaction of soil within the trees drip line

I guess it's good for employees with tight employers-a tight employer may tell you to man up and keep using worn out kit, but being condemned by loler would give the employee grounds to want kit replaced

Looks good! (searched haheley.co.uk) On the subject of keywords, how do you help bump you're ad up the listings? Currently low on the first page on some key search phrases

ISC Double pulley on a sling here too

Jesus f.. Bet that pub ain't short on regulars!

Don't see anything wrong with it TBH

Do it Stevie! I use aspen 2stroke in saws, and 4 in my lawnmower at home, the price doesn't come into it for me anymore - i think of it as PPE I even know of companies using 4stroke aspen in their Avant tractors FWIW today i paid 60 quid for a 25L can
