Ok looking to buy an external hard drive to back up stuff onto any ideas which would be a good RELIABLE one to go for. Looking at 550mb and probably portable. Thanks

Now I know why all the youngsters wear their trousers down round their ankles!!

Norton is a waste of space and slows down your computer, go for free avast and spybot search and destroy, I also use a google toolbard as this has a pop up blocker it picks up east europe if you use yahoo toolbar it also picks up west ie USA. Run a symantic virus check it should find the virus. Good luck!

VAT registered - why do they ask?
jojam replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Business Management
A local businessman once told me that if your not VAT registered your 15% behind your competitors.I think he's right.You always need to issue an invoice for your own records. -
Don't have one of those but when you do get me ink in try printing on greyscale black cartridge only, if you have the option. Worth a try.

I just wondered how many w.a.g's read or post on their significant other halfs arbtalk? Are they allowed to, do you all sit around the computer together? I am having problems with my one at the present, won't do any work until she's read the unread posts, what can I do?

If they want a professional, good job then they have to pay for it, would they shop around if it was for a leaking toilet, think not. To be undercut that much is a joke, if you don't get it just try and think that he will get whats he pays for and you may be called back to tidy up. I wonder if the under cutter has all his tickets, loler's, insurance etc?

Still busy tom.Think the best approach is to do the lot- surgery,forestry an firewood to.Always means you've somthin to fall back on.''It's not what you know but who you know''.Contacts seem to be the name of the game.Regards,jamie

Well the tile I think I would get an exorcist in you have a devil dripping blood!...That cheese has to go!.

We charge the same for fresh logs as dry one's.The customer gets the same amount whether it's wet or dry so why should the price differ.We give them half seasoned an half six month to year old sticks.We always tell them whats in it and where it came from,alot of customers ask.The only customers we have lost is down to price,you get what you pay for an there's alot of crap being sold out there!
-
Well thank you for your replys I had a job remaining on my seat reading them, and I thought I was going to have to stop eating the 'cheese'! An elephant throwing water over itself was what I saw.

Whilst standing waiting for my dear other half, I kept seeing the same image in this tree. Will tell you later once you have had a look.

That's a bit spooky!must be somthin about ash trees an pulley's,I hit one about 40ft up on thurs, the whole ash tree to cut in 6ft sections and i found a pulley with the 441.Cut it out an took it home to add to the other museum pieces(horseshoe!)

Our insurance does cover hired in plant also but the cost still has to come from somewhere.
-
Quoting for a job at the moment and wondered how much extra I should put on Mewp hire to cover for diesel, insurance etc. Do you think that 35% is too much/too little? What extra do you guys put on?
-
Fit like tom.Did a two thirds height reduction on 3 beech trees on tues.Used swb's suggestion,worked a treat.Only way to get stuff out off the tree past the lower branches an saved alot of branch/timber dragging too.Tied pulley onto back of trailer so everything landed right where we wanted it.ps don't like doin that kind of job but client was happy with it and i've seen alot worse elsewhere.and they gave us a nice cold bottle of stella after we'd finished.

Cheers for the tips guys i'll try them out next time.It'll save a fair bit of headscratchin
-
No i didn't or ralph!Stopped for some junk food half way that did the trick until i got home an was made t go look at that job.4 hours walkin about pricin up 48 ish trees!I'll sleep the nite.catch ye later.
-
We've got one to do this week aswell.Same kind of idea.Can't get past the drooping branches.Hirin the mewp for another job anyway.Tried spikin it but 5 metre flip line not big enough.Throwline wouldn't stay in either an i don't have a big shot.Anybody got any other ideas of gettin up it?
-
Cheers for the weekend tom.The silver looked good fun more than sittin in the van for four hours anyway.Early bed for me the night.Hope t catch you all again soon.
-
i'll second that.had a nasty experience with a beech-fell in the tree.Stretchy poly prop rope tied onto my valmet and an oversized hinge.The don't make a good combo!Classic barbers chair.Yes you certainly do learn by your mistakes.Sometimes you need things like that to keep yourself real

Jist had a thought dude is that the tow hitch bellow or tip bellow?i was meaning tow hitch
-
I've done 2 of my own tt126 an a tt146 no probs on both as long as the head is fully forwards,as it has to be or you can't un hitch i suppose.Pretty straight forward just remove the horizontal an vertical bolts an then slide head of.Easy.Which i thought would also be easy to knick if the hitch lock was activated and you had a spare head an a couple of spanners as the pro's probably would!

If he is a know it all then ask him to show you, then you won't need to go up! Can't you price it for a dismantle on the grounds that is is so unsafe that the only safe way to bring it down is in small pieces hence taking ages and a high cost, against the price of a cherry picker then he will see along your way of thinking. Again if he is using his landy put a snatch block onto another tree nearby give you twice the pulling power. Good luck ear defenders down and go for it BIG time.

This was one glorious day on Skye and better still no midges!!
