  1. Hows his family coping..........Hello Jimmylad.
  2. £50 down and I bet he sprayed everthing to get his own back:laugh1:
  3. I,m the go between here, its not actually my yard I have a seperate acre of my own a couple of hundred yards away. This was a tipping ground for various arbs in my area. The bloke in charge of it was on the fiddle and got the boot and now the farmer has kicked off most of the arbs as well and wants it cleared. I,ve managed to move the wood for him via Arbtalk. I,ve seen pics of youre wagon Buzz and think it might be best if someone gives it a recce. I,ll PM you his number he,s very keen to shift it.
  4. Parcel Force are paying the bill £700. They were concerned about security. The first tree was like climbing frame and a doddle to get into the compound.
  5. I,m not qualified for a mewp so I just let him get on with it. But that,s a good point as it was my job and insurance. He was very competent and I will definitely use him again, keeping youre observation in mind. Thanks.
  6. Youve made a cracking impact in a good way, I,m sure everyone would agree. Me on the otherhand ballsed it right up.....oh well whats done is done,I think I,m getting the hang of forum ettiquette now........I,ve not received any PM,s of you I,m sorry to say, I dont know what,s happened there. I,ll send you one and see what happens.
  7. As much as I can but it,s hard to ease up when there is money to earn. Thanks for youre concern.
  8. Today,s work, two dead willows made safe. I hired a mewp and operator plus use of Landy for £300 a day. This was the second willow we did and the one with the most potential to go wrong. My wife on the footpath earning her crust, she worked hard so I,m giving her an extra slice of bread tonight.LOL. And the last pic is for the Landy boys so they can see what a proper motor looks like.
  9. Pics as promised, a couple there showing access. Most of the ground is mud on top of tarmac, the first pic is where the soft ground is.
  10. Excellent stuff, I wish I could do that.
  11. Youre not wrong there, in three months I,ve learnt a wealth of information, cleared a mountain of unwanted timber, laughed me head off at times, regretfully pi**ed some people off in the first few weeks, worked with Rich and Jason, found somewhere to get quality advice..........well the list goes on and on.......Thanks for putting up with me and a big thanks to Steve.
  12. ........Ive already learnt that lesson, a different sort of balls though.
  13. We got the Ash down today and not a single problem. When I say we I mean myself, Rich Rule and another arbtalk member Greengrass. If anyone is looking for a contract climber you wont go wrong with Rich...........Some pics here, not very good I,m afraid but worth a look.
  14. HAhahahaha, when I read that I can hear Mr. T.............Nice job Sanny.
  15. Why do people leave things that long. I hope you charged them for every year.
  16. Sounds like I,ve got a top notch climber for tomorrow. I,ll post some pics of Rich climbing.
  17. Very sad indeed. Only 20 miles from me.
  18. Lets hope Woodpicker remembers his comment the next time something of his breaks down.
  19. Good for you Wellwell,girls/women are excellent grafters.This my wife today,we work together all the time and she loves the job.
  20. Firewood,at premium price.Its the ultimate log.
  21. That,s 31 more members than the Jap group,well done. Seriously.
  22. Hahaha, got ya. My sentiments exactly,leave em be.As a kid I used to marvel at the sight of huge flocks of starlings. Sorry hav,nt had a pm.
  23. "Who needs a hedge cutter" Enlighten me or the post is useless to anyone except Dean.
  24. What an eyesore and a fire hazard at the same time......some customers are just plain mental.
  25. God help you,re missus, probably best if you sleep downstairs tonight.
