  1. Let them get on with it mate... just hope people don't think it was you as your the last man/company on the job........ Poor workmanship is unsustainable.... Its the pidgeon work ethic.. fly in Sh**T ON EVERYTHING then fly off...

    If your at a college then you should be able to get a copy from your lectures.. if your self study then e-mail me and i'll sort something out....
  3. I,d take a look at other local wood produces stock, pay a visit there usually ok and you may pick up some more work while your there.... or you can just pretend you after a supplier and pick thier brains about what they can supply, planting densities, drainage and irrigation ect. Also get yourself a good ref book for information that you can relay to the client.. regards the long trem management.. prep and aftercare are really important to success... I'd always encourage using native stock and theres more grants available for this type of planting... and if they decide not to bother managing the plantation then you can be proud of creating a native woodland for the future....
  4. Cool Pic, not sure the HSE would like the helmet removal.... but nice all the same
  5. Yes its the whole of south wales, its the whole of all the areas shown on maps..
  6. Upto 5 years from 1st Issue, but I'd replace on a case by case basis... If your store you helmet correctly and don't do any tree work then 5 years is cool... If you work in commercial arb then you know when you need a new lid.... the date of manufacture is on the lid normally a dial/clock with numbers...
  7. Nice pics, good job.........
  8. The work you/we do or don't do is a reflection of your profestionalism and skills, you may get a few yobs but if your reputaion is tarnished then you may lose more work. I let the pikeys and the dimwits make all the mistakes and offer my support when the customer realises they have made a huge mistake........
  9. I concur, a graft may work and worth a try... if its a nice specimen otherwise fellit and replant....
