    Some say it helps the timber land just like it did, on woodland jobs it saves wastage on timber. I've tried it and don't like it, maybe just been doing my own thing too long though.

    If it was too fell a 100ft Sitka beside a house in the storm, I'd happily charge £500 for an hours work, if there is risk and skill involved, it takes years to learn such tasks. As for a job that took 2 drunk guys 45 mins

    Definitely a 50ft cherry, better pics.

    I find breakfasts depends on how close you are working to a toilet ! Good luck with the change. I try and eat good simple non processed food in small portions lots of times a day. I find it hard to make myself stop and go for something during a job, especially climbing or tidying a garden, My brain works on the reward when the job its done .

    Sounds like a £100 job to me, your circumstances at the time should not effect what you charge on a very simple small job. It would be the same as charging double because its your birthday

    I first thought cherry with the ripples, then I looked at the other stem and lower on the trunk was more white in colour. Going by the coppice in the back ground we may have height issue

    a little steps mate, when you go for a drive at night, your headlamps don't light up your final destination, they just light up enough for you to see in front for a bit. It's really very simple, you just need to want it, and it will happen. Welcome aboard

    She was never struggling, I rolled it the whole way. I find shifting wet soil far heavier on the machine with the ditching bucket on.

    Can I jump on here please? I've recently moved a lot of milled timber for a customer , they were stacked well and covered in polythene. There were holes in the polythene and quite a lot of the top boards have rotted and were damp . I've re located the timber in a very windy place and have not re covered them . Am I best to leave as is or remove damaged timber and cover with fresh tarps? Thanks

    Depends on how the climber interprets it, I class it as fix the tree, so that's what I would do. Your means you have be wrong in the past, maybe that's why they felt they had to be very detailed for you:001_rolleyes:
