Anybody ever been to or going to this show in Hanover? I have never heard of it before this year when a supplier wrote to me with an invite.

TBH braces are much better than a belt Barrington, but each to their own. Whichever braces you choose, I have always found the button type far better and longer lasting than the clip type, as the clips seem to give up after not too long.

Excellent advice Rob- i felled a 2' diameter walnut once that had about 1" of colour in the middle- total rubbish.
-
So how much are you after then?
-
Probably said enough on a forum TBh..... -
Its just dealing with that particular crowd i reckon.....mind you the bark on larch is so thin that its hard to tell TBH, but by MY measurements it's OB.
-
Euroforest have always sold to me overbark....
-
I wasnt aware that surface checking was due to the time of year timber was milled, more the drying process incorrectly applied?
-
IMO WAAAAY too expensive, but a good bit of kit....register it as a special vehicle and it would be duty exempt too!!

I posted this (which was an email i was sent) and got ridiculed.

Nokia n95 8GB....the best phone i have ever come across. Awesome camera, ultra reliable and better signal than any i have found. It is my old phone from about 5 years ago....i have a broken n96 and got rid of the awful HTC HD2 i had.....that was about the worst....apparently i can download android onto my n95...what does that mean????

:lol:

Totally hit the nail on the head.

Come again??????????

I get it now:blushing:....it ought to be worth something though ubless it is rotten, even being branch wood. Good luck with it.

The ISC is tried and tested and cheap, the DMM looks sexy as hell. Both do the job perfectly well, I have both, and if i had to choose, i would find it hard. I prefer the locking mechanism of the ISC to the screw arrangement of the DMM, but there's not much in it TBH.
-
I TOTALLY disagree. Fair enough asking for general advice about how to work out pricing jobs...GENERAL advice, such as the factors that go into it etc etc, but to describe a job and ask for it to be priced is, IMO, bang out of order. Then to get the hump is even less acceptable.:thumbdown:
-
But surely no-one will buy branch wood above a large cavity without seeing it first? It seems like a hell of a risk to the buyer, which would reflect the price offered, which is going to be minimal anyway due to the volume of timber, which would make it less appealing to the customer to have cut down.....and is that their main consideration for removal? Not trying to put a damper on this, but i have been milling for over 12 years, and selling timber too, and wouldnt but it without it on the deck TBH. Or do you have to give a POSSIBLE value for the timber?
-
If it was in the members only area then maybe i would agree with you, but this is open to the eyes of the world, and someone reading that would possibly use it to explain away a theft or blag...."oh well arborists dont want it anyway guvnor" attitude

Im not knocking the crappy little £500 jobs- I do loads of them, but I wouldnt dream of asking for payment or a deposit up front!!
-
I would never take money up front, I think it is awful business practice. If i was involved in large scale long term work, i.e. weeks or months of it where i would need to pay wages and/ or equipment hire and large running costs, this would be tied into stage payments anyway, so the need oughtn't be there to take money up front. As huck says, what if you take the money and can't fulfill a deadline you had agreed to due to illness, accident or something else out of your control- your kit getting stolen etc etc. Especially on crappy little £500 domestic jobs!!
-
Why dont you get a firewodd merchant in and give or sell it to him if you dont want it and cant cart it away. If i have small amounts like that i give it all to a local merchant for free at the time, and get help off him in other ways (use of forestry winch etc ) later. Bigger amounts he pays me for. The firewood boys are crying out for wood at the mo, esp hardwood FFS!

Yet another fantastic resource offered to the world of Arb. Thank you. She is an amazing bundle of energy, but totally lovely too:thumbup:

The presence of mayfly larvae in water is one of the indicators that the water is extremely clean:thumbup1:
