you are obvoiusly looking for way of life rather than being a millionaire mate, there is always work to be found. i am know where near as strong or a supple as i was 10 years ago, but i am older and wiser and dont waste as much energy as i used to. if your mrs is into gardening then i think you will find your niche in the domestic market, offering a very personal imaculate job. aim high. thats what my old cub leader said

hi dave, i dont know much about monolith stuff, i take it you are trying to prune a tree the way nature would, split branches, limbs etc. do you ever take a turfer instead of a saw. you could just rig the wire like a spider web then just get cranking and see what happens, would this be appropriate or is there more to it? -
i am off now to work on these limes in argyll, when i say work i mean top, but i know that is frowned upon by some and i have this dead elm to do on satuarday.

it might not be a tree but try messing with sea buckthorn, youch, if the 2 inch spines dont get you then the septic pusy wounds will, dont be drawn in by the orangey looking little berries.
