  1. We were asked to fell this memorial tree by a developer, with a bit of gentle persuasion they agreed to have it relocated within the site. We employed Ruskins to move undertake the work. They did an excellent tidy job
  2. Our new grinder has arrived, we have brought a Bandit HB20 Sidewinder to grind out those hard to reach back garden stumps (its specification states its a 29" wide machine, we measured it and its really a 30" !) See it in action: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtnW0IkNLr4]YouTube - Bandit Model HB20 Sidewinder Stump Grinder - Quick Clips[/ame]
  3. Its at the back of my mind, I dont have time to persue it at the moment as we are so busy with the contracting side - watch this space!
  4. We have filled a couple of positions Tony, workload has dictated an increase in requirements.
  5. Experienced climber position still availiable. Please call or email: 0800 3287988 / [email protected]
  6. I have just brought the Stein jackets for our guys and it seems to be performing well so far. I've had printing put on the back for a bit of advertising
  7. Whatever the working relationship between manager and operative there should be a procedure in place in accordance with RIDDOR.
  8. Maybe you should put yourself in the position of someone that has the resposibility of the safety of his guys and aspires to a zero injury record, there is always a symptom to a near miss or a accident, the more near misses that are logged and acted upon reduces the chances of harm to yourself or a fellow employee. You are a liability with you current attitude IMO.
  9. 3 days, top and outside all done - they do the outside with thier own gardeners.
  10. Large Conifer hedge reduce and trim, surrounding Peugeot factory. We reduced them a few years ago, back to repeat the job! (All the open topped buses were booked out so we had to use the mewp!)
  11. those corners still hold logs in, its only chip that falls out so why make more work cutting them off?
  12. Never seen it round here, can see the benefits - canteen downstairs, roofed area to shelter from the rain, you could maybe get a couple of fares on the way to the job too! We used a genie which works just as well but requires traffic management - are you sure they dont need TM Rupe? surely they stop at very tree? There is one on fleabay if anyone is thinking of having a go... MCW METROBUS OPEN TOP DOUBLE DECKER on eBay (end time 23-Oct-10 16:36:09 BST)
  13. You can have ours delivered in Coventry for £10/tonne.
  14. Put it in the classifieds, you may get an offer.
  15. I'm all for promoting health and safety and working within the law, I undertake regular safety checks to ensure this happens. However, we are working on a site that the guys have to get a daily "permit to rake" in order to rake over soil ready for grass seed - seems a bit OTT to me!
  16. Havent got time for bike riding, too busy looking after my daughter John Deere ride on
  17. I had to send Josh back to Sweeden purely for that reason
  18. No I must have missed it - could you pm it to me?
  19. Thanks Bray Time you stopped burning your self on the lightbulb when you get into bed and treat yourself to that 130!
  20. Where was the tarp from mate, could do with one being made for the hiab?
  21. Dave Dowson is a great Teacher, should be a good one Paul
  22. Mate, even if there only the size of a frozen pea, you get them trapped and it makes your eyes water!!!
  23. A couple of our 130 on the job at various locations, it doesnt get chance to play in the mud like yours though - not sure it would get out!
  24. A few of the Fistulina prgressing at the front of my house, the largest is quite high up the stem
