I feel like saying that all the time, must think thats all we do! can think of 2 jobs that stick in my mind, just before christmas we knocked over some self seeded Ask at the back of some offices in leeds, place what a right sh1t hole, old baths, buckets and office furnuture etc, woman that backed on to it open her window after we had finished and said "do you know what you have done"? I said"errr yes" and she called me discusting!!!! other job was a large oak tree i took down, got all the crown out and was just puttin the gob in to drop the stem when this guy marched over waving his hands every where, "im on the local council, have you got permission to cut that down" the estate mananger was with me, turned round with a stone cold face, "do we need it" "yes you jolly well do" came the responce, "good job we bloody well have it then" he fires back.................Pissed meself laffin.

Looks like the Caravan utilising nomadic travelers have been doing it right all along! Dean, like your thinking re the 2 foot stub but i cant be arsed to trave a 20m round trip to go back up a tree to knock off a stub, right off to the BBC for me. -
Jamie, when work pics up and i need a hand i will give you a shout but it will only be now and again, i am trying to keep costs down this year as we are no where from the end of the recession yet IMO. DONT give up please, Like othere's have said you need your certs, there is a lot of people out there with certs and there always going to come before you in the queue. Can you not offer to do say half day a week for a local firm in exchange for some training or they keep your half day pay and pay for a ticket when you have built up enough funds? just a thought.
-
Sorry but being on the dole and "not having enough money to buy a round of drinks" is so hard! we both work and cant afford to throw money round in a pub, dont give me the im on the dole its hard crap, and i dont think its right that people get all this funding to get a job, give em a job on a basic wage picking litter or the likes and let them work on improving there life not just hand it to em. I had to pay a lot of money to get my certs and people that "find it hard" get it given on a plate!
-
Same as, i have 2 that i got at a farm auction, both blown so i put pot and pistons on form ebay and they run spot on, both with an 18" bar and only use them for logging, both powerful and been reliable if a bit heavy.

Wet wood............deffo wet wood!

I use a micro pulley and a distel set up, use a grab on me flip line.
-
Why do you want or need an 18" bar on a 42cc saw???? use a smaller bar and have a far better balanced more powerful and safer saw.
