    38 with constant aches and pains, climbing isn't hard for me , ringing up and lifting stuff is, hence why I bought the digger and grab and own a hiab

    You are the climber, you decide what you use and how you want it done and how fast you wish to work. Your impatient sailor friend should not be in charge. I use slings and a steel twist lock

    Get to the gym and get as strong as you can, that will make life a lot easier. I know because I don't go to the gym anymore:laugh1:

    Reverse drive is brilliant and get the levers on the arm rests.

    Use 2 boards, work between the 2, walk them as you go, flip them and jump them back and have the back 1 on the joints. The stripes thing is for looks only and looks nice. I would ditch the old kitchen knife and get a good half moon edger and get it razor sharp. Good job!

    My Forestery crane had a huge reach and the pull in power with the dipper extension was awesome! Pulled some 100ft Douglas, 3 feet wide out a field 1 day. You can still lift big, the lifting ram on the main boom will hold the weight but not lift it, so you set it high and let the extension and dipper do all the work! Reach over lift for me if it came down to it unless you were selling the timber and if you were doing that seriously you would need a monster skidder and Hiab lorry.

    A very good point, I've been paying £100 a month for 2 iPhones That were free, :001_rolleyes:this seemed cheap nearly 2 years ago, but things have changed, and I could now get away with a £10 a month pay as you go sim( or near enough) so awaiting my contract to end and I'll be making the change.

    It's amazing how a couple of words can really cause anxiety. I had similar when I first started, I got a verbal go ahead from the planning officer of where I was working was not a pto, I cracked on with the job. A few weeks later, all hell broke loose, local paper calling my number, rspb getting their 2p in, land owners going nuts. I called the same guy back up, he met me on site, there was a simple boundary issue that the guy hadn't thought of and all was good. It did involve a week of me being worried sick and thinking my world was going to end. Get all go a heads in writing from now on. Call the main person in charge and arrange a meeting and sort it out face to face.

    I am tired of having to spend my time on here editing the swearing and the covering up of swearing with xxx££&&@@@. It is certainly the minority, I am no longer going to edit these posts, they will be deleted in full.

    You just have to love idiots who smash bottles out in the woods. There's a fresh growth of wild garlic so she didn't stand a chance of seeing it:( I had to carry her back for 10 minutes while she bled like a stuck pig! She's now getting knocked out for a stitch up.
