    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 .

    yeah i would have climbed that , but it sure does put the t~r = 03 equasion to the test and beyond

    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 .

    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

    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 .

    ha ha i used to work for a firm in newton abbot (that has since changed its name) one team managed to chip an entire 19mm lowering rope and several strops and woopie slings , their reply to the boss when he asked was - we didnt realise until we heard the turbo on the tractor kick in

    guys to be totally honest there is a good reason for dean being so outraged , but in all honestly this type of thing is going on all the time and the plod do not wish to get involved that often as the law regarding such matters is rather complex and results in way to much paper work for them . In an ideal world this chap would have been stoppe and a prohabittion order placed on the trailer and lorry .
  22. combined tree services
    failing that if there was enough work for it i would buy the 12 inch jensen i have seen and fit a crane to the mog !!!

    i personally have tried various brands such as PHD ,Reflex, Maximuscle and a couple others and i have found maximuscle to be about the best of them . The bigest problem when it comes to Protein is getting the right protein for the right aplication , im currently trying to shed any excess body fat and maintain my current level of strength so i am using Promax Diet and Thermobol , the reason behind that is that the protein shakes aid in supporting muscle tissue that would normally be lost during periouds of body fat loss, i do feel that unless you are training 4-5 times a week then ther should be not real reason to use protein shakes .
