  8. a smiley:scared1:i think thats what they call it, i think its to get the most out the timber mat.
  9. haustorium, what a great word tony. thanks for that. now i can pass that onto someone else. when i have new guys out, i tell one of them what to do, and tell him he has to explain to the next. they listen a lot more and get a grasp quicker, and also feel they have more input to the job. especially good when rigging and using a turfer.thanks a lot mate
  10. my trainer told me that your brain finds it easier to meet up that way, a horizontal is easier to line up, than trying to get a daigonal to meet the horizontal. if you know what i mean. i do it the same way mate, and it is easier to aim where you are going with the lines ontop of the stihls. that is how i was taught:001_smile:
  11. make sure you do mate, keep us posted on how you get on:001_smile:
  12. i have passed on my savings to my customers, they are delighted and i am still making the same on the jobs. and getting more jobs. my local competition arent vat registered so on the small domestics it does make a difference:001_smile:

  14. i get 10,000,000el 3,000,000public 5k of tools plus 2 088s, conservation insurancse(dont know what that is) for 580quid 50k valmet,40kmog,15k chipper,6k ag trailer for 1200 quid i tried them for property insurance for personal and landlord but were a few quid out on what i pay already. and it wasnt worth the paperwork this year.
  15. so steve did you phone your mobile network and ask to pay less then ask bt for the same like i recommended on a thread in jan, orange gave me 50% off without question and so did bt broadband and 10%off bt calls.my orange bill has went from 100quidplus a month for 2 phones to 30quid, and i cant use up all the minutes and texts, and you know how i love to blether. call me a miserable scotsman if you want, but the jingle is better in your own pocket. .
  16. nfu seem to be all over the place(hope this isnt liable)they wouldnt insure me for years but would insure my mate, quotes have varied all over the countery, from different offices. i would phone willie on 01563524013 tommy, get a quote. if its cheaper. cancel your current and go for the better deal, even give steves new guys a call. you might get a penalty but if its cheaper go for it.
  17. you better make a nice tv stand now mate, a matching pair. well chunky mate. nice.
