have you folk learnt nothing about apple products!?! i should even consider buying one of these, if at all untill the 2nd or 3rd generation come out, 500 plus buck for something that will be obsolete in a year seems a wee bit daft to me, but hey, gotta love the hippsters.

actually you can do cs38 on its own, 30,31 are only needed for 39 and other felling tickets.

assuming it was kids being mindless little toe rags? has anyone ruled out some old boy cycling past with garden tools bodged to the back of his bike on his way to the allotment? either way it is pretty poor form.

not such an inspirational one but, if its supposed to move and it doesn't, use WD40 (GT85 actually, smells and works better) if it's not supposed to move and it does use gaffa tape. i cried when i had no shoes untill i met a man with no feet. The ocean refuses no river.

arbtalk while your on the throne is it, or was that a typo

just to allow you extra attatchment points. Saves putting two biners through 1 D when you have a top line and lateral etc, extra attatchment point to clip on your piece box and flask. some harnesses even have 3 D's!!

two thirds its total length plus half that length again.

aye, way up north

Is there no a chap called Ron from Yorkshire who does assessments? i dont have dets to hand but can send them later if you like. Try contacting local college that does arb courses and see if you can skim off a cpl other lads that need assessing and split the costs that way.
-
no its not a £50 quid job. £55, £60 if i put the extra diesel on. It is one of my first ventures into doing jobs for myself though, so was trying to get an idea of how to go about things.... it seems askin for extra money for collecting payment is a bad idea. everyday really is a school day.
-
That wasnt the question, what i asked in a not so clear fashion was, I will be encouring extra overheads on a job I've quoted when I submit a bill should it reflect this or do i suck it up as a budgeting error? do you assume I'm enough of a muppet to give a total for job £xxx plus £xx collection of payment fees?
-
get it up you man, i asked for some advice not to be spoken to like that. And if that is your advice, bear in the mind the old addage if youve got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.
-
sound advice, I've left it open to what suits her, and if it does end up bein collection well as said face to face is better and the drive out the house aint to shabby either
-
first job for a client that could potentially lead to more, lives out of the country and so when mentioned payment said she could either bank transfere or i could wait a cpl weeks until she is home then go up collect in person. Obviously going up in person is a much better way to build a raport, the question is do I put a bit extra on the job for the wait and extra hour of time and diesel collecting will consume or just suck it up and hope more work comes out of it?
-
fair dues Dean knowledge like that cant be learnt, imo. did you come across that yourself or were you shown/told by an older peer?
-
spot on bolt. how many of these old boys had ECU's and pentium processors bolted onto thier engines?

patmanscoop, If i can put my tuppence worth in. I'm coming to the end of doing my HND and as it draws near i feel i made the wrong decision. If you want to break into the industry it may be worth going in for short courses and getting CS 30 31, chippers and a first aid ticket. with these find yourself some labouring work, show interest in all aspects of the job you can encounter. As you progress, maybe with a company supporting you through tickets and become a competent arborist then think about going to college. Read the book Trees; thier use management and cultivation (i think it is) by bob watson, this covers most of what we were taught in the first year. plant biology etc... hope this is of some use to you. Also set up a side line in tweaking saws if you know 2 strokes!?

afaik, if the limbs/branches are hanging over boundarys the land owner is entitled to cut the tree back to the boundary line, you do not legally have access into the tree from the the tree owners land though. you are also within your rights to return whats cut over the boundary into onto the tree owners land, it is theirs afterall. as for the deadwood problem ad15, you could try put the 'duty of care' argument across to the owner of the tree. an if there is/has been damage see whats what but insurers may fob you off with an 'act of "god"' type spiel.
-
thankyou very much for bringing this to light.
-
if i was back home i'd be ripping your arm off for that offer, unfortunately i'm not. hope you find someone.
-
labour + materials + on-costs/over heads + a bit for a drink = price of job. sorry dont actually have any useful advice, but at least you get a bump hopefully someone else may give you some proper advice

wow, soo many opinions and statements i want to comment to! first of all defenderjack, Traitor sell the skis and get back on it. imho. i'm 25 and startin out in this game, i dont expect to be quick and fast, but i do know that i've got a body that will work and take knocks, i dont expect to be work fit for a while unless i get to drag brash, climb, cut and wash the van 6 days a week for a good few months, and as for learning the job, i dont reckon anyone knows everything.
