  1. But if you cut the corroded pipe away you will need a hand held pipe flaring tool

  3. If you are working cards in for a "pukka" outfit they will provide the kit for you. Bringing your own kit can complicate things, at the very least it will have to be "lolered" as and when needed.
  4. On the up side, you can argue a case that a specialist trailer is much more likely to be where you left it when you get back to it. There was an old Rayco (I think) trailer sat in a council yard for several years and despite many "scote" raids no one took it, the owners didn't even know what it was. It also has the advantage that you can max the trailer weight out without the danger of someone putting it over weight with a log or 5.
  5. They aren't wormy logs, the worms are gone, the hole is where they left. Any galleries will be in the sapwood so not often a structural problem but since its all stove fodder anyway crack on.

    Chainsaws.

    Well if you are getting into it, get into it. The safety the safety throttle is often called an interlock, the bumper spikes are often called dogs or dawgs, this picture has the fuel primer bulb labeled as the choke when that's actually the little blue control sitting between the throttle and the interlock. This machine has no makers plate but all the best ones have Husqvarna written on them ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,discuss....................
  7. They do the work on nights because it often requires closing the line and if they do that during the day it inconveniences countless numbers. It is a transient inconvenience for those individuals living track side.
  8. So who does the tree belong to?????? If its the LA and its not TPO or CA you can muller any overhang without notice, if its in private ownership and not subject to statutory protection you can either muller away or negotiate other works with the owner. So, who owns the tree??????

    Chainsaws.

    No its the size of the bar, a chainsaw has a guide bar.
  10. Where does say TPO? Lets have all the facts starting with TPO, ownership etc
  11. Oh well, the rest will be child splay then...........

    Where there is no such thing as too many handbags, the same applies to saws.
  13. Don't forget that disconnecting the clock is simplicity itself, a service record and overall condition is probably just as good an indicator as any. Have a look at the filters, if they have the date fitted written on them, its an indicator that someone was looking after the machine.
  14. Usually the bloke on the forwarder and he has arms like Popeye
  15. Don't forget to factor your insurance costs in, most policies are quite specific so make sure it says SDP and work

    If the guy has a-decent arterial bleed, you have about 4 minutes so base your best efforts on that:scared1:
  17. If you ask for olives for those hydraulics, you had better be ordering a martini :laugh1:
  18. Any active nests are protected, anything not in use is fair game.
  19. TPO and CA are both matters of public record. Ask the planners to do a CA and TPO check on the property Make a contemporaneous note of the date and time and the name of the person providing the information.
  20. The tree morphology is wrong. It looks like the tree has lost its central leader (quite a while back) which has allowed the remaining crown to develop in a poor shape. (morphology) The (now) broken branch was exploiting that nice bit of open sky you can see in the pictures, in the process it grew till it could no longer support its own weight. lever arm - definitions of arboricultural terms http://www.treesaregood.com/portals/0/docs/treecare/WhyToppingHurts.pdf
  21. There is a lot of controversy over this work, To fell or not becomes a lot less "controversial" once the gob is in
  22. You don't need a planning app as such, the TPO app is all you need for a tree(s) subject to an order and a "211" for anything else. LA cant charge for administration of 211 or TPO so all the client has to pay is whatever you charge for it. For any repeat prescription works, simply submit the same app as needed, its all free.
  23. When you say "suggesting" it implies you have a choice, you don't, if you want to stay this side of trouble. A 211 for those un contentious works is a no brainer, just put the paperwork in.
