I worked with a groundie back in the early / mid 90s who had a target painted on his helmet . He was in and out quick as a Cobra strike lol . He's nearly 54 now and still has a target painted on his helmet . His character is massive and he lifts the team everytime Ive worked with him . A true fruit bat though . Love him I do Nice job by the way

Fencing mate of mine contacted the local Kebab / Pizza House to see who did there leaflets as they are always doubled sided and a quality coloured print . I would do the same as the 5000 he had printed cost peanuts compared to the local printers price In these numbers the leaflets will last him years .

Shavey lol ................ Any tea bag that has been turned into a rusty coloured brew suits me just fine . All the ex army guys will be shouting Nato Nato which = tea two sugars milk This is welcomed by all after a long exercise . Now a days I never refused a brew at work as you never know when the next brew will appear

I would install Cobra bracing near the main trunk and then another brace near the tip of that limb . If in doubt of the safety regarding the youguns then remove the offending limb . Simple really Absolute glowing post / asking advice .

Well if thats your set up at 21 matey your doing something right I would cut the ladder rack / crossbar off and weld it slightly higher up . Only because it seems to be in the way of the discharge chute . Then fit a mesh / skip net underneath the ladder rack to retain all the chip and foliage . If you put a solid roof on your chip box be prepared for alot of chip dust to be blown back in your face .

I,d go for a tool box that was the length of the tipper bed 2ft deep and 1ft high . Good for fuel , hedge cutters and most saws . Go for more storage now as you will probably need it when the conversion is done . A good Brownchurch roof rack on a landy makes an ace place for another storage box . Also good for hedge work / mobile platform the roof rack that is Just like hodge's beat me to it he did ; )

I try not to drink in the week and if I do its minimal . The weekends however kinda get messy sometimes . Mates popping round etc ? Especially in this weather . They always say what not got the bbq on ? I was looking forward to a beer . Always at my expense . Mind you I did once go through a bad patch when work got to much for me . I was doing a 12 / 14 hr day most days which included Quotes , Invoices , Risk A , Method Statements Paperwork paperwork and more paperwork . All before and after a day on the tools . Thankfully a good friend had a strong word . This made me realise the extent of how much drink ( Spirits ) I was getting through 1/2 a bottle of Vodka most nights . This was a massive wake up call . My good lady had being telling me about it for a while . Just hit home when a real close friend put it to me straight in laymans terms .

Commercial just take the niss 90% of the time . Domestic's usually pay up on completion . Which is great really . My hands are covered in hard skin and look rough . This is a testament to how hard this job actually is on your body . After years of quoting you should be able to tell if the customer is a payer or a delayer . If I think the customer is awkward I will quote higher simple as I expect to be mucked about . This is for domestic only . Commercial well most can sod off and leave me alone as they pay late with crap rates and want an amazing job .

I have seen first hand some of the hero's I was quoting against and most of them have difficulty telling the difference between a thuja and a leylandii . The opposition prices normally start at £ 400 and rapidly come down to £120 ? Although they now also look the part

Carritools as a rule are not very durable IMO . Many guys have made there own improved version . -

Thinking about it ? On a domestic job or any job for that matter . Smashing 1 metre long metal spikes into the ground needs to be done with caution . Possibility of hitting Gas , Water and even Electric cable not to mention hitting drainage .
