Nice carving as ever Bart.

Nice shots, got one just like that on Saturday.

Fast hosts for me as well.

Congratulations Lorry:thumbup1:

put a sign out saying free logs theyl be gone overnight!

Pity you are not in Middlewich, they would be gone this morning!!!!

And where's Colin?

Is your brother wanting chopped up firewood, if so I can help

Please pm your details and we can discuss

Thanks

feel so much happier. It must be the release of not having to be accountable to anyone but my family. Feels great:thumbup1:

I'd have said the tree was knackered Dean?

Its about time you did some proper work . Yes I know your a grafter an all that . Might need an extra body and another climber soon . Have to organise something with all your underground contacts

Ha ha well said the man who has helped me. Good mate. will be getting him a beer at Cannock.

Cheers Paul

Good attitude mate, good luck with it. So many people resign themselves to the dole queues when they lose their jobs lately. Good to have something to fall back on. Losing your job might be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Cheers Guys, that's what my 2 brothers who have their own business said. It's the kick I need. I know I can make it through the winter and I have been helped recently by a couple of arbtalk members. Won't mention their names as I might embarass them, but they know who they are and know I appreciate every job

Not many of you may know this, but I have been teaching maths for the past 17 years.

Set up the tree surgery business 5 years ago and have been doing ok for an old part-timer.

Lost my job on Friday!

Don't have a case against them, very clever constructive dismissal.

Well, guys and gals, I'm full time into the tree surgery and you know what, I feel great.

And I've got work..thank god.

My brother needs at least 6 cube of mixed firewood. He's prepared to arrange an artic/haulage.

He is willing to buy 24 cube if the price is discounted. I'm too far away to help.

Can anyone make an offer?

Many thanks, may take you up.Will pm when job is confirmed.(Awaiting survey for water mains) right under oak stem which requires grinding out. What joy!

im over in st helens which is about half an hour from upton. You can come and dump chip here on one of our fields

Cheers for the offer Rob. I'm about half an hour from Chester myself. Was hoping for somewhere a bit nearer if possible?

Can anyone help?

Am doing a job for a mate in Chester. Need a dumpsite for the chip. Mainly Oak, Sycamore.

Like Peter said

Enjoyed working with you Paul and Colin. I've never had a problem raking up, was a laugh especially when you thought I'd never get all the timber on board Ha ha.

Will speak soon.

John

There are some very ODD tree surgeons about you know??????????

Market stall required, get some sold.

Seriously, excellent work

1 .

The so called tree surgeon (COWBOY) that has been doing me out of business and bad mouthing me, under cutting me has left town.

I have been told by my doctor this morning that I am in excellent health and will live to climb for 50 more years.

Happy Birthday you young Buck:biggrin:

Send him my best wishes. Just donated:thumbup1:

That'll be great mate

Common sense is not common, far from it, quals dont mean much in the real world, but in the letters and in the courts they mean EVERYTHING, as for experience, well how do you quantify that? and quantify what? does ten years hedging make you as skilled as a man who spent ten years working the bigwood dismantles and reductiuons? I think its hard to put a value on experience when you get down to the nitty gritty.

 

There should be an exam for people who cant afford the time or money to go to school, we should be able to pay a one off exam fee and be given a level cert for our pass rate. then we can at least be fairly judged and walk away for credit due and go as many times again as and when we feel we have learnt and read enough to step up the grade.

Hear hear!!
