Arb Assoc. critcises BBC over tree planting programe.
slack ma girdle replied to Andy Clark's topic in General chat
Are we talking about the tree o'clock event, if so: i spent an enjoyable morning with my family, and lots of other families planting trees. Some trees were planted badly and not as the guidelines. these trees probably won't survive but that is not the point. The point is that these non tree people were out in the rain planting trees so that they can make a difference in a small way. Lots of small changes can make a difference. When the children grow up they will be able to say they planted this wood. What can be better than that. If it's not about the tree o'clock than ignore the above rant -
Its making my arms aching just watching it. Thank god they don't grow this big in dear old Blighty

Follow both cables to where they conect to the casing, that is normally where my go, and the fault is normally buried under the oily crud. Happy hunting

Ahhh the joys of heavy lift equipment.

The dumper is great in this cold weather, as you are sitting next to the manifold, and you get toasty warm buttocks:thumbup:

Is there a simple way of estimating standing volume of timber. I need to know for the felling licence. My normal method is climb a couple of trees with a logging tape to measure the tree and guesstamate. However this is for 13 acres of clear fell. Can anybody help ?

The dumper is sixteen horses of throbbing power, with a hydraulic winch. The rope on the wood splitter was mark one conversion to one handed use, Mark two is some 15mm copper pipe crimped on !

At least they want to pay for the logs, i have had five people ring up now asking if i had any free logs !!

Cleaving the wood, rather than sawing it will also increase the life of the fence, as the wood fibers are left in tact. Oiling it will help, but the wood will have to be seasoned or it will rot from within, as the moisture will not be able to escape. For the ultimate organic fence, plant a hedge and then lay it 5-10 years later, as it is still alive you wont need to treat it with anything, and it will out live us all

I think you need to get some more information from your prospective client. They should have a list of requirements for the job discription. With that pricing the work becomes much easier. -
Going back to the thread. The first aid training that i have had in the past has been St Johns or Red Cross, and has had very little relevance to most things that might happen in the field. Consequently i have not bothered in renewing it. The last first aid course i did, one of the other people on the course first aid kit comprised of a roll of gaffer tape !! (turns out that he was an ex paramedic, and he still had to do the course) there is nothing that can not be solved with a bit of the magic tape.

We glazed our new lowering rope first time out, using the tree for to slow lumps of wood. Use it with care and don't let the lowered item run long a long way. It's also quite hard to guess how many wraps are needed. I gave my partner a good suprise with too much friction !!

I'm alergic to london planes, which thankfully are fairly scarce in west wales. The last time i had to work on one, i took a couple of puritans before starting, which reduce the effects. You will also be pleased to note that the last bad alergic reaction that i had took six months to clear up. Bet you are glad when people tell you things like with this
