    very very good reliable cars , they have a good ground clearence and in comparison to the likes of a volvo cross country or the equivelent audi you will find the subaru very good value for money , i currently have an impreza as a fun car but if i needed a 4x4 estate then i would be jumping at the forrester

    yeah i guess so , better still fence the tree off and let is do its own thing . but getting back to the thread - job well done and i still would have climbed it (even at 17 stone)
  8. combined tree services
    yeah i guess it could have been retained but to what extent ? i personally could not see it looking all to plesent especially on the grounds of what appears to be a lovely camp site .

    hi Jamie , they are some amazing pictures i must say . I did some Geo work down in devon for 4 months back in 2004 and i must admit that although the pay is better i really did not miss going home covered in red sandstone . Just a quick question but in your most recent picture i see your using a shunt on your secondary line , i was told not to use a shunt as they can deform and fail when stress loaded in the event of a main line failure .

    yes this is true but still a reduced tree with a decent crown spread would still require more than the 5-7% sound wall thicknes that this tree had .
  11. combined tree services
    yeah i would have climbed that , but it sure does put the t~r = 03 equasion to the test and beyond
  12. combined tree services
    whats wrong with that ? lol , just thing its now worth £20 more when you sell it . on a serious note it does make you feel sick that they can charge so much for doing nothing

    my advice would be to stick with Pimms in a cammel back and not to bother with Gin sun stroke and Gin = a near death feeling

    Cheers Stu , i will give them a shout . Im only looking to use it so that i can get my trucks to site this winter , the council dont tend to clear many of the back roads down here , maybe i will have to find a way of putting the snow bach behind us as we go along

    why not supply the custome with a short length of rope ? that way once they have paid you they can then thread the piece of rope through the handles on the bag while you drive off at a rate of knotts lol .
  16. combined tree services
    i send them via parcel force , normally 3-4 days and they are back
  17. combined tree services
    lol as long as i get one to go on the front of my mog

    the problem with powerlines is that the phases/ conductors are close enough that a flash over is very posible should a conductor/phase be disrupted/moved by a branch . when we are cutting LV live from a MEWP we are expected to wear a Nomex/fire retardent jacket , Non Nylon gloves and where possible a helmet with polly carbonate face visor because of the risk of a possible flash over . as for extension leads i have never had one in one piece long enough to need it checking they nevr seem to stay in one piece
  19. combined tree services
    Good On you , we recently got our third Springer that was kept in a kennel because it was gun shy and no use to the owner , after having her for a week she is still nervous and will not leave my side but has made massive imporvments to then we first got her .

    not sure how the gloves will fair with the fire but the book will burn really well lmao
  22. combined tree services
    LMAO so im not the only one looking for a snow plough then
  23. combined tree services
    LV WILL flash over in certain circumstances and yes if there is a pin hole in the sheath then it is possable to get a shock from it ! An old extension lead would be less of a risk due to its limited AMPs and The Main circuit breaker situated on the consumer unit , the fuses dont blow when you touch them whilst tre cutting instead they cause horrific burns and potential death . I would strongly advise you not post such comments with regards Health and Safety .

    i would highly reccomend Saturn Machine Knives , i have only had good results from them and sharening is competetive as well

    to be perfectly honest it does not take alot to make sure you satisfy the refresher criteria , yes it is a load or red tape but it is well worth it , things do change - for instance i did not know the chainsaw gloves were not compulsory any more , this may not be of any real importance but there have been changes and there needs to be a record kept to ensure that workers in the industry are keeping up to date . Most of us have something to say when we see poor or sub standard wor carried out by people that dont know any better - this maybe because of changes in Arb since they trained many years ago , most of us would see this as a poor excuse and that is exactly what the HSE would see should they have to investigate an accident where the cause of the accident was a worker who had not been on any refresher and had lost touch with modern safer advances in the industry .
