  1. Cool enjoy Regarding the thermals just do your normal and put your fish nets on Let me know how u get on .
  2. Hardcore Prawn ha ha ha . No nothing as yet regarding the golf course . You sorted work yet ?
  3. Got a big smelly dirty Pop to come down soon its even got its own lake round the base . Not to mention all the muddy grass . Still its in need of rigging down as theres a listed building ever so close . So I dont want to mess my decent lowering line up . Choices are 16 mm 3 strand Nylon 30% stretch Breaking load 5300kg . 16 mm 3 strand Polyester 10% stretch Breaking load 4766kg . Prices are similar with nylon cheapest . Will be factoring this rope in the quote . Why 16mm well if we get the job the rope can then be used for felling and stump pulling . Nylon for stump pulling to much stretch perhaps . But it will do for felling . Polyester seems to be top so far . Would just like to hear what you guys think . Ive never used 3 strand polyester before .
  4. You doing the Oak ? Or are you working with JL ?
  5. Ha ha ha I see this particular van quite often . Maybe a stalker or just his SOP, standard operating procedure . Now I,m begining to think does he follow me ?
  6. I just gave him a polite smile How things with you John . You split all that Russian Oak yet
  7. He just said that they were part of our company. He pointed at us and told the homeowner thats us just there see . Fortunately she was switched on and didnt believe him . Wonder how many times this has happened and it has worked for them ? What annoyed me more was the fact that he had all new stihl gear on . He so looked the part
  8. I was pulling up some stumps from yesterdays job . Then a nice shiney tipper parked up 2 doors down from us .The driver then got out and went to knock on the door and explained to the homeowner that they were working up the road and then pointed at us . I know this as the homeowner they knocked on came and told me . The man in the shiney van seen the homeowner approach me . So he then proceeded to drive past me 4 times and give me the death stare
  9. This why having a written quote is essential on most jobs . Although not in this case . Is there anything the neighbour could help you with in the future ?
  10. Aye 9 o,clock
  11. Trawl the net for alternative solutions . I have terrible shin splints but the pain is now under control . I found that wrapping my leg in elastic horse bandages seems to cure the problem . Mind they have to be tight . I only get 2 / 3 miles before I can,t feel my foot
  12. Good job for someone Annoying how you got to be out of work to even apply

  16. Ha ha ha Russian Oak think where on to something here . Got some more of that stuff next week . Well some old russian oak pollards £
  17. I know a few qualified tree surgeons who are to be honest a liability . I also know a few homeowner users who are more than capable . Experience every time you cant beat it .
  18. I for one am sorry to here this . Reading some of your previous posts show you have a strong character . I,m sure this will stand you in good stead . All the best . Paul
  19. The green paint just makes them easily spotted as your saws on site . The police reckon that if the saws got stolen the engraving probably would only help if the saws where recovered . One of my fellow tree surgeons use something called micro dot which is aimed at motorcycle theft . ?
  20. I always engrave my saws on the metal parts . I also give them a splash of green paint so they are easily spotted on site when working with different contractors .
  21. ha ha ha daltons mate now that was mean facial hair Frame of mind hit the nail on the head there:biggrin: Alot of people get side tracked thinking well if I do this he might do that . In reality you need only be concerned about doing your thing. Come what may .
