I don't mind junk mail, I can chuck that in the bin, its the phone calls during the working day that were annoying. I had to ask your people to stop calling me 4 times.

Mature Lombardy poplar - neighbour complaining.
treequip replied to Crunchie66's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
You need to take due regard of your (mothers) general duty of care to others Having the tree looked at by a contractor isn't the best idea, many contractors will look at the tree as a job for the week coming. An arboricultural consultant would give an unbiased written opinion (for a fee) -
If you can tie your boots you can pass that test Here is a sample question. You are using a power tool on site, it gets hot and stars smoking do you. A. Drop it and run away B. Put it in a bucket of water C. Un plug it and tell your supervisor
-
That's clearly someone in distress about their pet, either tell them you cant do it or put your boots on
-
Its all about bums on seats these days. They will get you on a course but it might mean sitting some sort of equivalency test first
-
But that doesn't mean it shouldn't have been happening When someone tells the LA they are going to embark on a course of action that could potentially end in fines of 20k the LA is duty bound to tell them that. Could just be that they assume you were aware.

You don't have to prove that the tree would have failed. The exemption is for dead and dangerous so that's what you need to prove.
-
But that's just what they do, its a standard response. Anyone working on a 5 day notice has to justify their actions or risk prosecution.
-
Fixed that for you. Just because you didn't know that doesn't mean the rest of us didn't

Are BT responsible for maintaining their lines to be kept clear?
treequip replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
Its BT/openreach apparatus all the way to the box in your house -
No but I hired a chipper YEARS ago and it took me till last year to get stop them spamming me.
-
Not even out of its infancy. I have one that's been in regular service for more than ten years.
-
Well its going to take longer if you do it in the nude.

Not the case Ultimately the owner of the tree is liable, subject to reasonable foreseeability unless he has placed reliance on advice from another party. The TO should advise on what they would consider acceptable under the TPO, its up to the tree owner to get his own expert opinion.
-
Your liability ends with whatever advice you gave, no mater what the tree officer said. Your advice to your client should be your opinion and not what the tree officer said If you are at all concerned put an app in for a fell, if they pass it all good, if they decline it that's you at appeal or out of the loop if the client doesn't want to appeal.
-
In a nutshell it's nowt to do with you. You are the contractor to your client, just pass on the information you have been given ( in its context) and see what your client says Trespass is a civil wrong so don't worry about that and criminal damage requires criminal intent. Formal maintenance can hardly be described as that, and in any case the person to answer would be your employer. How reliable is the irate neighbour? It might just be a fit of pique

I have just replaced the brake linings on both axles, four tyres and a couple of bowden cables on my ifor. That's come to several hundred and a days work. It's still cheaper than a GV9 and less embarrassing than admitting on here that the wheel fell off

Do we know any more about new cracked ZigZag in Australia?
treequip replied to Jake Andrews's topic in Climbers talk
To avoid pointless speculation?? -
As a trailer it will have a MAM Those pictures are a bit unclear on the iPad but the weight plate ought to have 2 axle weights and a MAM Those tyres look to be on split rims which for that size wouldn't be unusual. They don't look to match but that could just be the picture quality Assume the brakes will need a complete overhaul and a set of new tyres and bid accordingly
-
It's unlikely to be GVW because it's a trailer not a vehicle. What's the item number
-
I don't worry about much but gout and the idea of giving up steak in blue cheese sauce fills me with dread.
-
Here it is Tool Karabiners
-
I think it's a good thing, it gives the competitors that real world feeling and adds the "Darwin" factor I am assuming that the lack of reported death and mayhem means the event went off without the offend in limb causing any real problems ?

treequip replied to Jake Andrews's topic in Climbers talk
That's just the kind of knows nowt speculation that should be avoided. The kind of heat needed to cause a material change in any friction device would melt the rope long before the device became a problem
