  1. That is exactly the prob i had with nfu- only insured up to 6 metres off the ground.
  2. One, and no it doesnt. It is much less than i was paying last year for the same.
  3. Exactly what i have found with nfu. Used to do my car, horse lorry and landy, until i converted it to tip. Then i started climbing and they werent interested. I am with yourinsurance. Very helpful, pub/employers just into 4 figs.
  4. how do you pm somebody???
  5. Jonesie- have i missed ordering t-shirts, or will you have some spares? Just looked at the comp and the pdf's pfom back in feb!
  6. This is one thread i wish i hadnt looked at!! I used to insure with nfu but when i started climbing only a few years ago they said they were unable to do it- i now pay over four figures, and have just changed about a month ago. Damn.
  7. Thanks jonesie, im sure it will!
  8. Like i asy- never got wet feet in pros- and yes they should! Mr Jones- can you shed any light on the waterproofnessless issue/ breathability?
  9. i prefer my piles to be tidy... they dont hurt as much:001_tongue: seriously though, really nice job- both what you have done and the view:thumbup1:
  10. I have been wearing a pair of these i paid 149.99 for about a week now- apparently i was the first to buy a pair. Had protector pros before, which were awesome, and drove miles to get another pair, only to find that they didnt actually have any after all, so he offered me the lights. Comfort wise they are as if you arent wearing them- v.light. They arent gore-rex lilned, but he said they had a special leather membrane and were still breathable and waterproof. Tuesday last week was foul, and at the end of the day i had pretty damp feet to say the least. I rang him back at the shop to question him about it, and he reassured me again about the membrane etc,and he asked me was i sure that my feet werent just very sweaty. I reminded him that if they were breathable... but he said he would ring haix and call me back. No call as yet, and this thread reminds me to call him! Mixed reactions so far then- love the comfort, miss the pro's in which i dont think i ever had wet feet.
  11. Looks nice mate. I have spent all week up crappy llittle sycamores reducing in the howling wind and p-ing rain!!
  12. Every time i have got a nice big log like that i have promised myself the middle board or two (quatersawn) but due to my wifes equine addiction -we have about 35 here at the mo:scared1:-i have ended up selling to pay a bill, so i know what you mean.That oak was buried at the bottom of the pile drying so got away with being kept:001_smile:
  13. Might be worth getting in touch with your local Farming and Wildlife Action Group(FWAG) rep. They are the ones who can advise on that sort of stuff.
  14. Im pretty sure that there used to be, but a long time ago. When i was a youngster- i can still recall those days just about- i worked on my mates dads farm, who was going on about how they were being paid to leave trees standing.....Would be welll worth finding out, as there are so many farmers who seem desperate for any excuse to get a chainsaw running:scared1:
  15. Yeah- rayburn it is. That table is from a huge oak i did at my sis/brother in laws in devon. That poor 7.5 tonner was towing my 10' ifor with a two ton log on it. The springs were bent the wrong way, and that 6620 130hp deere had the back wheels off the groubd with a 950 kilo weight on the back.....the lorry didnt even lift!!!:001_tongue:I slabbed the oak- 3.8m long and 40" wide with the chainsaw mill. Each cut took about 1.5 tanks of fuel and needed sharpening after each cut. It was well worth the hassle though!
  16. Just applied for a couple of trade discount tickets! Ta for reminder. Never been before. Its sponsored by husky btw! I havent got an orange saw anymore. I hope they dont mind!:001_tongue:lol
