He could have given extra. Even if it meant bumping them up to £14 and charging them out at £50.50.

Did you wake up too late, like?

Not before time. It’s a known fact that woodchippers are responsible for most global warming. Probably.

Few months mate. Love it.

Yes. Definitely a totally different sound to the TW125. It was a bit worrying at first but we've got used to it.

I would mill it.

Cutting back overhanging branches
Mark Bolam replied to Nats's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Also remember you need the owners permission if you need to climb any part of the tree that isn't over your side of the boundary. -
I think it could be very useful. I’ve had some good advice over the years on here. Mind you, my idea of a finer, more technical joinery project is one where I use 4” nails.

Butt is set up nicely as well! Pics if you do it please Saul!

I’ve found the climbing not as bad as I thought tbh, but dragging and chipping is about as bad as it gets. On top of the bastard factor the limbs and timber are seriously heavy. Keep some timber if you can, you can make some funky stuff even from shortish barrels.

Ripeur 2’s are my choice, but they are pricey. I’ve just bought a backup pair of welding gauntlets for £6 in a jaunty red. That will be fun the first time it rains.

I started my SRT journey on that rope. It will work, and you’ll appreciate a more static rope when you get one.

Jesus! Glad everyone’s all right John, that’s the main thing. Getting a tipper with a box will be the biggest pita in the short term, pretty much impossible to hire.

Nicely judged there mate!

With feet your size you could just put a small fridge freezer in each boot afterwards if that happened.

Thanks, after a little reading they seem to not be rated so well for spikes. 95% of my work is spike climbing - would you still reccomend? I get on fine, and I’m usually on spikes. The Pfanner Zermatts are very well rated for spike work, though I’ve never tried them. @Stephen Blairwould know, and how warm they are.

The Close Group were good for my when I had a bad credit rating. Close Asset Finance is the branch you want I think.

Fantastic project Andy.

Basically my Airstreams were worn out and Rich and another couple of climbers I work with had already got the Andrews and rated them. Handy little built-in loop for the HAAS as well. The red also goes with my face.

Looks a little belter Wayne. Good times ahead.

Tidy job there mate.

It’s never been about the money Mick. Just the chicks and the Likes.

He never bummed the pig Mark, he’s a Tory, not a sex case. It was only oral.
