They probably went back to the shed and complained about a wierd tree man, not working and playing with a camera!!!!:001_tongue:

You've got to have sideburns and Hiflex Demin though....

"No notch = No direction" :blushing:Sorry!!!

Do you know if you can fit the Husky ear muffs to it Reg or is it just the Stihl ones??

Ha ha!! I'm suprised that you didn't show up to see the top torn out at around ladder height,about 6 or 7 phone lines down and a customer that says "But they said they could do it":001_tongue:!!!!

Cheers David!!! That looks like an interesting read too!!! I don't know how well they'dve got on filling the damaged tree in with foam in the third picture!!

Exactly!!

Its an interesting read!! Its nice to see how things have come on!!

Cheers for looking.

Don't know if this one will come out, Look for the recommended clothing for tree works. rtifr.pdf

Last few, Filling in cavities with expanding foam and trimming back to give a natural apprearence, the foam can now be painted with wood sealant.

A couple more, First one, Putting the "Final" cut on a branch prune. "Flush with the trunk to reduce die-back and to improve appearence" Second one, "An example of flush cutting : top rounded off with a chainsaw ; lower cuts adequately flush and more likely to callus evenly"

First Pic, Using an auger to install a drainage channel at the bottom of a cavity Second pic, Finished treatment, Cover to prevent cavity filling up and drain at the bottom

Mate showed me this book. From 1976. It shows you how things have changed a bit!!! Front Cover

But if its e-Bay it MUST be good!!!

I can remember being a young student walking around with my harness on in the cafe thinking I look the mutts nuts and trying to impress the horsey girls. It doesn't look quite as cool when you get your side D's caught in a chair and stack it on the floor...:blushing:

You're not watching it on UK GOLD are you Steve??

Count me in Please Steve..

Advert is not as good as the old one. I get forced to watch x factor by my woman. If I don't, she kicks up merry hell if I want to watch football. I then get told off for pointing out the obvious, I can't win!!!!

I am! yet what I am none cares or knows, My friends forsake me like a memory lost; I am the self-consumer of my woes, They rise and vanish in oblivious host, Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost; And yet I am! and live with shadows tost Into the nothingness of scorn and noise, Into the living sea of waking dreams, Where there is neither sense of life nor joys, But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems; And e'en the dearest--that I loved the best-- Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest. I long for scenes where man has never trod; A place where woman never smil'd or wept; There to abide with my creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept: Untroubling and untroubled where I lie; The grass below--above the vaulted sky. John Clare.

Jesus Christ!!! I felt bad enough about all the pints last night without watching that!!! Beast training about sums it up!!! I'd rather sit and have a cup of tea thanks!!!
