Looking good guys, did you use a little mewp to get back down:biggrin:
-
£100 a day sounds right plus I'd inspect the blades for damage and have a clause for abuse.

Give that man a Hi 5 from me Paul!! Now that's inspiration!! -
The customer was under the impression you would remove them offsite and dispose of them, this was the contract. You have absolutely no idea why your customer doesn't like his neighbour and I think as he is paying you, you should respect that and not bad mouth him on the internet.

That's guys work position slicing on the deck was terrifying, hope he doesn't get kick back! Good job lowering around the boom there Rich. Just subscribed to you on Utube aswell. The big guy on the pads at the gym isn't to be messed with, was he once a skinny ninja?

It's a bit of shake, usually happens when the tree has had a lean or been at outsider! Can certainly make you stop and think when you hear it crack !!

Any one worked out a way to put art rope guide in from the ground?
Stephen Blair replied to SamTree's topic in Climbers talk
It took me long enough to work out how to get it back down ! In not an srt guy but I would install a line and pulley with my drt pre installed and tie the single off at the bottom . -
If say Alder, white beam and not 100% sure on first stuff, I want to say Ash, it would tie in with the easy splitting. If it's free it's 90% good already. If it's dry, it will burn . Welcome to the forum:)

Wood works, put the 2 stroke straight into jerry can, exactly put 20l into jerry can with petrol, you will need to tip can back to get that in. When you pour into your small can, get the can on its side, and take it easy.

Get what you can afford as long as it gets you a start.

I mix a jerry can, I worked out how many ml I needed, went to a shop and bought the bottle of juice that held that amount. Drank the juice and use that . I always carry 1 full little bottle of 2 stroke, a jerry mix, combi can and a funnel. No mess, no spills, easy peasy!

Proper job there Allan!
-
Very nice, a wee video would be good

I've seen this 1 in the flesh, pictures don't do these trucks justice. If you are doing motorway driving and just want the bigger payload, buy a cargo. If you are on country roads and getting your wheels dirty then they are superb! I used to tow my 3 ton Cat and you didn't know it was there:thumbup1: As far as cost, make them an offer. It's been sitting there for a year and I know what I sold mine for:blushing:

Cheers guys:biggrin:

I'm a bit late as it's done! Tbh I wouldn't of climbed it, if it blew down overnight and damaged the other tree, then it wouldn't be a problem. To me a job like that is damage limitation, human beings are more important than trees, so fell it and it the other tree took a hit, we'll hey ho! As for the climbers weight not affecting the tree, that's correct, but the tree isn't still standing because the 13 stone guy hasn't climbed it, it's because it hasn't finished what it's started doing:001_rolleyes: Now if i was getting £3k for climbing it, then it's turn off the brain and monkey monkey speedy Gonzalo's time:thumbup: Good job by the way:thumbup1:
