I’d be looking at £400 minimum just for the fuckonery factor. If people want stupidly big hedges they can pay for them. It’s very rare they plant in from the boundary a bit so you can access both sides easily and keep the hedge slim. Most people are selfish bastards who don’t see a problem with giving their neighbours half a hedge to maintain. At least this one isn’t underplanted with chicken coops, greenhouses and beds of petunias, so they’re not total twats.

Anyone still climbing with knots these days?

Really good resource Steve, thanks. I’m on a ZZ for double rope, but still love my VT for SRT. Still on a wrench though, I’m too tight to get a Chicane like Joe! -

Bit different today, repollarding a reputed 850 year old oak that shat a piece a few weeks back. 3 big stems girdled up with old steel bracing, thankfully, not much holding wood on the dodgy one. 3 full Transit loads of chip.

I’d have given you a grand for that.

You will get electricityfried and die though.

Why are you taking on your own jobs when you are clueless? Work for someone else first, then you’ll learn.

I reckon @MattyF could have some good input on this thread. The staircase he has built is pretty special.
-
Possibly, or the rest of us will now be ashamed to put our shitty projects up!

Proper skills, although at first sight looks like a 17 year old has done it on his first day! Did you angle the gob as much as it looks like you did?

I have used this cut a few times when I’ve been too drunk to remember which way to hold the saw.

Thanks Reuben. I’ll have a word with my fabrication guy next week and see what we can concoct.

I wouldn’t use pallet forks, I’d have a bracket made up welded to it that fits the WQ headstock. I probably wouldn’t go for that exact one, I’d go smaller and chunkier, because as you say it looks a bit flimsy. That one weighs 65kg.

How did you get on with this Reuben? We tried an economy version today with a piece of thin ply layed across the grab. Works a treat. I’ll probably make a safety rail with some blue polyprop then we are good to go!

Different sector though Eggs. People can’t choose whether they want Dyno in or not that year can they?

You need to supply a lot more info before getting a sensible response. If the trees are 400 years old and your house is 2 years old it’s a totally different situation to your house being 400 years old and the trees 20 years old. Pictures always help.

Yes, although you’ll earn more working for Sky.

He’s a genius Reuben. A parody of a Dee-Jay. You’ll get it when you’re older mate.

I could share a cab with you Dan, we wouldn’t need to change channels much.

Same as Mick, he’s been a big part of my life since my teens.

Anything arb mate. I sold my bollard to Monkeybusiness on here through it. It won’t reach as many people as Thiefbay, obviously, but the target market will more likely be genuine arbs.
-
Try Arbtrader on here mate.

SAW that!!!! 😂😂😂 You just get funnier and funnier with age Mick.

Loads. It’s in the country.
