hey folks the brake pipes on my old van are badly corroded where they meet the flexi hoses, rather than replace the whole lot as it involves removing the diesel tank and loads of under body guards, I was hoping to cut the bad section out and fit some new flared pipe, can these be used to tie the old and new sections of brake pipe safely?

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

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.

If you have a purpose built trailer, you can use the structural integrity of the load to make the combination work together. As long as the axles are up to task.

Rather than having to build a trailer that is strong enough to carry a random load which would have to be much stronger.

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.

Nah, they know full well, but rely on the ignorance and compliance of the public and the toadying of many professionals:sneaky2:

Morning guys

 

Yesterday I discovered that my prized stack of ash logs that I've carefully stacked up to season before being used in the woodburner is riduled with some kind of wood worm.

 

It was the dust that alerted me at first, seemed more than the original saw dust from logging them and much finer. On closer​ inspection I can see the logs are covered in holes. But they only seem to be in the bark, not the actual wood.

 

Has anyone else had this before? Is it something I need to be concerned about? Or is this normal for ash?

 

Thanks

 

Simon

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.

I hope all your jargon comes clearer after I've done my chainsaw ticket

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.

As I'm sure that some of you work with on the rail network, I was wondering if much consideration is given to people living close to railway lines?

 

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.

Thanks for comments. I am told the tree is not in a conservation area, nor does it have a TPO. Of course, retrospectively, the simplest thing may have been to remove the tree - most of us probably have PhDs in Hindsight.

 

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??????

I do that with my rifles and scopes if Mrs found out how much I'd paid she kill me

The bar you all mentioned is the size of Blade ? The cc is the motor or engine size?

No its the size of the bar, a chainsaw has a guide bar.

How did the extension get through planning if so close to a TPO'd tree?

 

 

Where does say TPO?

Lets have all the facts starting with TPO, ownership etc

 

I am a rock climber so I have already met the physical requirements.

Oh well, the rest will be child splay then...........

This was precisely the attitude that got me into BIG trouble with the mrs.

Where there is no such thing as too many handbags, the same applies to saws.

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.

Who cares about the height of the gob cut, look at the arms on that bloke! He could just pull the thing out at the roots!

Don't forget to factor your insurance costs in, most policies are quite specific so make sure it says SDP and work

does anyone know if there is a time limit for the rescue?

 

If the guy has a-decent arterial bleed, you have about 4 minutes so base your best efforts on that:scared1:

good hydraulic supplier will have straight lengths of the pipe and fittings with olives.

If you ask for olives for those hydraulics, you had better be ordering a martini

Any active nests are protected, anything not in use is fair game.

I have been asked to take down a large Sycamore in the middle of a local town.

 

However there is no Tree Officer in this area so it has to go through the planning department.

 

This is the first time I've been asked to remove a tree in a town centre so I'm not completely sure of the protocol.

 

How should I go about this?

 

What do those of you who do this regularly usually ask to see (works to trees forms etc) or contact?

 

Any help much appreciated

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.

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.

I think it's the point that they whacked in the gob before putting out the signs and cones, what's to say if they weren't being filmed that they might not even bother with signs and cones, because let's face it would of taken them longer to put the cones out than fell and process it.

 

I put in an app to fell a Beech in a conservation area that was lifting the Tarmac and causing damage to the wall only to had a TPO placed up it..

There is a lot of controversy over this work, To fell or not becomes a lot less "controversial" once the gob is in

Thank for the advice so far. Have just reread what the TO has said and as Chris said those not covered by the TPO measuring over 7.5cm at 1.5M will require a S211 the rest will need TPO permission. the TO has said planning permission is also required? Can see the sense in trying for ongoing permission but how could we word planning permission to have this? Church wouldn’t want to keep paying out for this every few years.

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.

The LA are suggesting that we will have to submit section 211 notices for this work. Is this resonable or should we expect as we are not intending to do major work on the trees a more informal agreement?

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.
