    Morning, mega frost here. My Ifor Williams is white looking out the window, I’ll see the temp when I get in the jeep. I need to dress up a boggy wee site after yesterday so frost is good.

    Morning, looks dry outside. Just some more tree house shrapnel to tidy up and move then sort through it all on the tip site to salvage what we can for firewood and re usable timber. Forecast is to get colder again. An easy Tuesday me thinks.

    Morning, gusty through the night here and still blowing. I plan to sit in the digger today but that could all change.

    My kitchen smells of diesel as I stuck my gloves on there this morning. About 3-4” of snow here. Bought myself some proper work boots yesterday, Helly Hansen with the Cobra twist locks, the old rigger boots weren’t cutting it at -8 trudging around in the damp. Back to the Tree House demo today. This is how we left it on Monday.

    Mine was on the hitch plate but was always getting damaged, on the boom is much better. I had a Cat308 with 1 there. you can see it on this pic. 4 in from the grab, 2 back to cab.

    Morning. We’ve a huge tree house to take down this week in the local adventure park, tight drop zone so it’s death by a thousand cuts. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of sharpening, bought a load of blades for the reciprocator saw so I’ll see how that does. Have a good day guys

    Just get an electro valve and stick it on the boom and you get a foot pedal. I worked with 1 on my Cat for 8 years and 2 on an old white cab JCB 3CX, you can make it work.

    If you know of a local marina( I used to live on the coast) they’ll have a guy and van. Yachts are bad for it.

    I just remembered, i got a company who clean out Boat engines gunk. I’m sure they got in under the seat and could flush it out and suck all the crap out.

    Morning, up and away yesterday sharp and forgot to sign in. Had a good day though on the west coast. Heading back north today to carry on with current job. I hear weathers to break next week so should make the most of T shirt November.

    Morning, haven’t looked outside but I don’t hear rain so that’s good. Yesterdays pottering day ended up with a call out, 4 hours driving and some emergency tree felling courtesy of Mr Beaver.

    Morning, at least you didn’t choke on it Mick! Haveing a kinda day off today, going to move me machine off a site and meet up with the Manager and get shown a new project then I’m going to just potter about the village I think. I’ve been working for weeks now slightly obsessed like I do when I get fixated on something. Body and brain need a rest so I’ll get a dog walk in, that usually clears the mind. Then I can get back to hyper work obsessed tomorrow 🤔😂 started my de veg of a 3.5km above a hydro pipe yesterday. Think the last guy booby trapped the place.

    Morning, rubbish sleep last night and now feel like a bust ball! 😂couple of breakfast rolls on the way to work will sort me out. Have a good 1 guys.

    The Raptors not commercial as it’s under 1000kg pay load in the back. So it’s already classed as a car. Should have seen my face when I found that out in the showroom a few years back! 🤔😂

    Morning, Ted I’m glad your ok, I never knew that could happen! Doug you taught him a lesson, good job I say! it was -2 here yesterday morning I soon discovered when I got outside. Overcast and dry just now, heading out to finish up a job on the new digger.

    Morning lads, stars are still out and it’s looking at being almost frosty here. Heading to Dalwinnie to remove a Sitka for an Air BnB. Nice wee run in the mog and a breakfast on the way at the Diner. Have a good day.
