  1. Nice job . Looks a bit exposed now but a good view
  2. When you put it like that it sounds great
  3. Safety first guy's I just can't get me head round the fact that the way the ladders were attached to the wall ? If the sky man fell the ladders would of gone over to ? Unless he hadn't tied them properly to start with ?
  4. :lol:
  5. I watched as a Sky TV Engineer pulled up next to this mornings job . He put on his harness , hard hat and goggles . Then removed the ladders from the ladder rack and fixed his safety line to them . He then placed the ladders against the wall and proceeded to drill a fixing to the wall so he could attach a ratchet system from the ladders to the wall . So the ladder would not slip away from him .When all this was done he clipped into his safety line and advanced all the way up the ladders to the final working height of 13ft . Has the world gone mad ? Red tape or just company protocol ? Oh after all that he was done up the ladder in under 5 mins No disrespect intended to anyone . Just seems all a tad OTT .
  6. I still call them 020's its an age thingy:lol:
  7. You can sometimes drop on a good steel pulley that's been used in the shipping trade on the bay . I have a few small steel pulleys which came off a large sailing ship. They were used for rigging . Anyhow that old 4x4 snatch block took some abuse off us lot . It would also allow up to 19mm rope without a problem . Think we just welded a plate either side so it could not fall apart
  8. I used an adapted 4x4 snatch swing pulley for years . It served me well
  9. Greatest story ever told The Bible ? It seems to me the that there are to many variations .
  10. Sounds cool
  11. Iv'e met Sir Ranulph fiennes and he is a character . Although very arrogant . Never read any of his books . Maybe I should Last book for me was Chariots of the Gods which Iv'e read twice now lol . Currently I'm reading a Kohler maintenance manual
  12. Nice
  13. Good and bad in all walks of life . Overpaid Tree Surgeon working for the LA ? . I know a 25 year old who gets 16k a year . Maybe a tad more now . Hardly overpaid

  17. We got an old Oregon one later re branded echo . It cost £500 many years ago . Hardly gets used but does come in so handy
  18. Used to be monthly for me but alas work has slowed Although I have a really good guy who helps me out everytime I call . I really can't fault him .
  19. I can't see an ATV winch fitted to the drop down feed table being a problem . If it were only used to drag brash to the chipper ? Common sense is all that is required ? I might fit one to my TW 125 as I have one spare in the barn at the yard Will be fitted with crocodile clips when in use . Same as my beacon fitted to the same machine . Easy peasy
  20. I love that fella . I could talk to him for ages lol
  21. I took Stevie Blairs advice and Dead wooded my client base . Really good idea as I replaced a bad customer for a good one . Now with the addition of my pipe I'm chilled . Although the missus makes me smoke it in the rear garden Black/ cherry and very nice to . Young for pipe smoking at 41 today though .
  22. Stress will hurt you end off . Last year I was going through a bad patch .I ended up ripping my best T shirt off my own back and proceeded to head butt the nearest window ? Stress seriously is underestimated and can rear it's ugly head at any time . F F S get it sorted please
