  1. I've cleaned the tank out with fuel and still no oil. Any tips? Hoping its not the pump:(
  2. You can also hire a chainsaw for £50 a week, tree surgery prices are crazy! Oh ladders are cheap as chips too!!
  3. £350 a day plus fuel.
  4. Nice 1, look forward to meeting you!
  5. Fell it in a oner, winch it out the river!
  6. I have a tracked barrow, brilliant thing! Don't use it often but when I do it's priceless.
  7. I don't have tattoos, I took a notion a few years back and came across the pictures when looking for ideas! I think they are cracking
  8. Lightening strikes on humans!
  9. Heal quick David !!
  10. Simple enough, don't see the drama myself!
  11. No rain here Rab
  12. Nice 1, yes Sandy both Cats onsite.
  13. Nice 1 guys. Are you competing?
  14. You are correct, I reacted too quickly to Whitenoises post, it shouldn't just be a paperwork excercise, I need to remember that, thanks. As far as not injuring myself, that can happen even if i have 3 people onsite. The tasks I am performing are simple tasks, it's more for slips and trips and God forbid a Heart attack. That's all I can think of tbh but so many things can happen that are outwith my control. A whistle is a very good 1, I may be working alone but there arealways people about. Thanks
  15. I now live in Carrbridge, I am having a stand at the show. Nothing fancy, just the kit and maybe a gazebo! If anyone is going say Hi:thumbup1: Carve Carrbridge - Carve Carrbridge 2015
  16. If you are wanting to use a saw in a tree eventually, forget climbing, you can already do that. Learn how to use a saw first. If it's just to play in the trees, you don't need tickets. Kids have been doing it for centuries
  17. It's paperwork , it's to keep Health and Safety happy and I can continue to do what I am already doing safely. Hey I might even learn something too
  18. how can I have the site specific RA's and Method statements in my phone so I can adjust them all with my phone. Pen and paper is not my thing and I never use them now. I can email and send them to staff, customers onsite at the touch of a button. Even to change them as the job changes through out the day. I have them as an attachment in an email, I want all the bits that are highlighted in red for my own information. Am I missing something with technology ?
  19. What's been standing under it? Overload of animal urine perhaps? Drought? Roundup?
  20. Thanks mate! Can't imagine life without it now tbh! I need to find a niche for the 7 toner though! Nice trailer!!
  21. Thanks for all your help guys.
  22. Thanks, I am looking at the ' Stay Safe Business ' app too. You are correct a heart attack at 1 minute after logging in and then an alert 59 minutes later isn't much use either, this is in my eyes a paperwork excercise to keep a roof over my kids head if it goes to court why my insurance won't pay out
