  1. Careful I'm a Husky boy!
  2. Cut my thumb with the silky, was down and out of the tree in 15 secs and my groundie had already got the kit out ready..good groundie, trained him well.
  3. When i went on holiday to Gairloch, i found a great little shop that sold arran wool open mittens. I have used them a few times in the cold. They are really warm even though your finger tips are exposed.
  4. :thumbup1:Have always priced for the job, never by the hour.
  5. Where is it mate, might come over and have a look. Even let you take some pics while i chop it up? hee hee
  6. Welcome and great video:thumbup:
  7. Great vid. A true pro climber. It should not matter how the tree was felled. It was safe, and the guys looked like they had a great time from the photos. Appreciate watching pros do a job like that. It's not OUR timber, so what the hell?
  8. Same here. There's nothing worse than doggy doo on your spikes half way up a tree. stinks like hell.
  9. What's the name and supplier please Plippy?
  10. excellent stuff
  11. A wooly hat, most of your body heat escapes from your bonce:001_smile:
  12. Just measure length width and height multiply then mark your trailer/van with a straight line for every cube and you can stop worrying. Anyone wants to question you, give them a tape measure and let them work it out. I had a new client who asked me "exactly Mr Wild, can you confirm that there is a cubic metre here"??????????
  13. Just finished a 50ft Eucalyptus tree dismantle. My Jo Beau ate everything uo to 4" even though it's only rated for 3". Great chipper imo but everyone has an opinion.

    Written by a 90 year old. Takes 2 minutes to read. This is something we should all read at least once a week. Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone... 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 12. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks. 16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful . 18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else. 20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer. 21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 22. Over prepare, then go with the flow. 23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. 24. The most important sex organ is the brain. 25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words. 'In five years, will this matter?' 27. Always choose life. 28.. Forgive everyone everything. 29. What other people think of you is none of your business. 30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time. 31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 33. Believe in miracles. 34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. 35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 36.. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young. 37. Your children get only one childhood. 38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back. 41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 42. The best is yet to come. 43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 44. Yield. 45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift." Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title '7%'.
  15. Who did you buy it from? Knew someone who had one. Their american, firm that made them went bust but theres a website in USA that has some technical data, think you can download the handbook.
  16. Shreks wee finger!!!!!!!!!!
  17. Brilliant shots. That's what this job is all about.
  18. This could start a new wave of tree pruning. We could call it ball topping:001_tt2:
  19. I use a local magazine and I reward all my customers that recommend me. I'd rather pay a commission to a past/present customer than pay YP to have me running around quoting against 5 others,
  20. Get a jo Beau and stick it in the garage!!!! Sorry couldn't help it
  21. You're right, fell for the bait, when she said they had an urgent job in Altrincham
  22. My thoughts exactly. If you're good, people recommend you. Picked up 3 jobs this week. No competition, just come and do the job. Great!!!!!!!
  23. Had a phone call today. Hello, can I speak to the proprieter of Chartley Tree Services? Yes speaking. I am calling on behalf of my boss, Steven Walsh. He needs a quote doing for some treework in Altrincham. Please would you call him on 01273 978222 for the details? Is he not in the office then? No he's in but I can't put you through directly. Where are you based? Brighton she said I then called the above number, got through to 'The Building Services Directory' and asked for Steven Walsh. Oh he's out at the moment can I help? Yes I said, what are you selling me, this is wasting my time. I do not appreciate people calling me to scam a return phone call. Well Mr Wild we do NOT like being labelled scammers..Goodbye! Just thought I'd let you all know. What a bunch of pratts. Check out their website, as bad as YELL . COM:stupid::stupid: The Building Trades Database Ltd.
