Sorry- I couldnt help it. Good luck with your search. -
How very dare you:sneaky2:
-
Very very nice table Matty.
-
Probably for the best....
-
TBH it is an impossible question to answer, as there are almost infinite variants- location, experience etc etc. I have to say that your groundy does seem to be asking a little on the high side to say the least.....
-
Yes i can see them, but at first i missed them, and if your councils reg department are anything like the dept downhere, they will have missed them. The red circle put me off at first. You have to bear in mind that you are dealing with public servant underlings here......I dont mean to sound pedantic, but a recent app I submitted was thrown back at me for far more inane reasons than yours.....eg on the survey of the 28 trees, with a ARCGIS sub metre accurate plan, and detailed descriptions of works, final spreads etc ect, they rejected it because there was now final spread on 6 trees....even though it quite clearly stated that there was no action required on the survey on those trees!!!!!
-
I think Percentages have gone out of the window with BS3998 2010.
-
I think that in a way they arent really asking too much....although very nice, your colour plan isnt the clearest, and two red (for example) crosses in the black and white map would be very clear indeed, and the imperial thing, wel in a way that is to be expected. Think yourself lucky.....the council down here wouldnt stoop to be nearly as helpful as your council have been....if it gets stuck in registration you dont get told!!!
-
And missed you are John. Nice to hear from you, albeit under this thread!!
-
He must be exhausted at the end of a days climbing after wasting that much energy. Just think, he could get twice as much done for half the energy usage if he didnt fanny around like that. POSSIBLY a good idea, but executed in the most cack handed and backwards fashion imaginable.
-
Such bad timing for me...it was the day i had to hand the keys back as the lease on the farm ran out. I really wanted to go. I heard very good things about it though.
-
BFGs are maybe twice the price, but last at least three times the cheaper tyres, so are much more worth it.
-
Probably, yes, given that it blatantly didnt fail naturally, and the claimant was witnessed doing the damage for which he is claiming!!!!!
-
I hope that the council are alerted to this........

I only say clumsy about the weaver as it has big heavy leather straps on the legs, and big buckles etc etc. Fine in the tree, excellent for spiking, has 2 sliding D's etc etc, but once you get our of the tree its a proper PITA. I find I can walk about easily in the treemotion, and hardly know its there. The weaver is heavy in comparison too, but like I say, the back support is almost incomparable. I only really changed because I felt like splashing out on a fancy harness, then tried one on and was persuaded by it....but then I feel old now and think I need a bit of pampering lol!
-
Weaver. I have one- excellent support. I have now replaced it with treemoion. Also very good, but the weaver is king for back support, just let down by its clumsiness a bit.
-
Yeah well worth a punt. A said the 4203 is very agricultural, but will pull a house down, albeit slowly. gear it a bit higher and it will be fine. Good winch. The rapiers all had the warns.
-
Remoulds should be okay if load rated, reTREADS are the ones that bits fly off. A retread has a new tread glued on, a bit like those awful bronco P.O.S. tyres, and should be avoided like the plague. Remoulds are essentially remanufactured and are better. If its for your work vehicle regularly carrying weight then TBH there is no substitute for a decent tyre. What you pay extra for with the likes of BFG will more than reward you in handling and wearability, and although cheap tyres seem attractive, you will end up paying far more in the long run, and BFG are basically the best you will find for this.

What qualifications do all of you self employed arborists have?
tommer9 replied to YoGi_93's topic in Training & education
I think that you can guarantee that between all the working self-employed arborists on this site, the whole range of possible qualifications will be held....there wil be some that have years of experience, but may have very few or no tickets, but are, at the same time, very able and skilled arbs, yet there will be others newer to the industry that are qualified up to the hilt and yet through having very little experience, are less competent. Qualifications only prove that one has learnt the science of the job, working experience gives a much fuller ability, and having the working knowledge coupled with sound academic and practical training puts one in the strogest position........maybe!! -

You mean you can get qualifications for this job???? :lol:sorry:lol: You have probably started to open a can of worms here..... -
This is the most ridiculous, and waste of space thread that has been on this forum for a long time. I never saw the original post, and TBH i am glad i didnt, but with a few exceptions the other posts in this thread have ranged from puerile to offensive, with totally useless thrown in there too. The sooner it gets wiped the better.
-
An inexcusable practise......
-
TBH i think they are a PITA on the ground. I do however sometimes do it.
-
Very nice. Whats the bird table made of? Oak and cedar?

I have yet to meet a successful empire owner who ISNT at heart a cold ruthless barsteward who puts the true needs of his employees anything other than teh bottom of the pile, and his personal greed and wealth at the top. I NEVER want to be in that position; material wealth on that scale is offensive to me to say the least.
