  1. With a normal measuring tape the best thing to do would be to put it round the stem and get the circumference, and then do a bit of maths to work out the diameter.

     

    diameter = circumference divided by pi (3.141)

     

    Should you not also measure from a point on the stem 1.3m from the ground? :001_smile:

  2. local work is nice but we get a good amount of work all over, this year we have been sent to wales as well as sutton coldfield and other places, at first i felt like i was treading on local arbs toes but soon make new friends and contacts, garden centres love free chip and no firewood yard will turn away free wood. just price it right etc, change of scenery is usually welcomed by the lads. my turn for stupid question then.. i got this box to fit on cab roof, do i put the bolts through going up? or down? and why?

     

    I think it could be good if work in the local area was quiet, but if you were away you might lose the trust of regular customers? As for the box I have no idea, but Jenny (Klaymeb) says gaffa tape :001_cool:

  3. Hey, sorry can't find any info about the job position, think it was along the lines of groundsman/climber. Got the number for Danny King (07917 156970) off NE Arbs website, I'm pretty sure he's the guy for this area if not I'm sure he'll tell you who is.

     

    Hope that helps :001_smile:

  4. Having completed a National Diploma in March and started A SVQ 2 modern apprenticeship soon after, I have gained a better understanding of the industry working hands on. Even after a months work experience a had gained valuable knowledge which I dont think you would be able to pick up at college.

    But if I had to do it again, I would still go to college and get the Diploma as having that piece of paper is always good to have.
