Hey rovers 90, there is no helping some, and no hope for them either. There are a gazillion know-it-alls out there who 'have been using a saw for 30 years without an accident' etc etc....they'll never change, and will always be on the defensive when criticised. Its just not worth getting bothered by them.

Yeah- the builders' insurance will almost certainly NOT cover them for tree work, esp as it is almost certain that they wont be using PPE so if it goes wrong and there is an injury then their ins company will wriggle out. It is also unlikely (but not impossible) that bob the builder really knows what he is doing, and the scope for disaster is huge. If it does go wrong, there is a very strong possibility that the homeowner will be held responsible. Without specific details then it is pretty hard to say, but either way it is probably to be strongly discouraged.

Stick a load of sodiums up Dean. If and when you get a visit you can tell them you expect they have come round about the log thefts...:lol: -

The police regularly publish this idea, even broadcasting it in the papers a year or two ago, but when i lived in the midlands a grower i knew was busted, told by the police that he should let it be known how he was busted as w deterrent to any other would be growers, and later found out he had actually been grassed up. Who knows what the reality is...the nature of the subject itself means it is shrouded in mystery and rumour. -

I fel I have quite a bit of past experience in burning very bright lights, and can honestly tell you that I think the whole idea that the cops use helicopters and infra-red to catch weed growers is total bull. If they are out with the 'copter anyway and see a hotspot in a roof, they MAY go and check, or report to superiors, but of the many I kniow who have been caught at it, NONE were caught in that manner...its almost exclusively loose tongue that do it for them. I would be very surprised if you ever got a visit.l -
I think they are the last word in log splitting. Fast, split anything, and soo easy. no waiting for return strokes or slow downward strokes etc etc. Unbeatable IMO.

Real bad in the colder months, and even on late finishes in summer. Gloves are essential once the sun has gone down, with white fingertips and TOTAL loss of feeling in the ends of fingers. Been getting worse over the last 4 or 5 years.
