  1. Now work is picking up the last thing I want is for the weather to put a stop to this.Fells and dismantles, clearances etc are fine in the rain but the sycamore reduction will have to wait until next week...so what do we do? Put a fence up of course! I did stock fencing at college but that was twenty years ago.but st the end of the day, the result was good and all the timber was bought locally and was an interesting place to visit.Waggots of Langly Moor.
  2. Keep em coming...looks a great job.
  3. I will Mr Egg....it's not just a case of things are looking up.. .more like, "I know who I am" and I know where I need to be!

  5. Not sure Joseph...near Binchester Roman fort I think..overcast but beautiful.last job was a small Scots Pine...but I could see cliffs on the left...hills to the front and North Yorkshire to the right in the grounds of a beautiful house and a brave little terrier interested in everything...we do our bits and pieces....have a great laugh...had some lovely customers and no drama
  6. Still with the aroma of Laurel leaves in my nostrils with pkough on the the final job of the day.i'm happy here.two man team, the boss does hedges and I do the trees.nice domestic stuff although got some nice mature trees coming up...have only been working together a couple of weeks but already getting recommended.

  19. Been using my Dad's I Pad Air last night. I've never tried apple products before and my last 4 phones have been Samsung.I have to say that the new I pad is not a fast as my Galaxy Note 2 which is nearly two years old...I always refer to it as my pocket Super computer....may even run it for another year!
