  1. Cheers lads, I just need to find a good 2nd hand set off of e bay, the're a kings ransom new from what I can see. J.D
  2. Has anybody had any experience of using these machines ? We cover all the different tasks on our grounds maintenance rounds but the borders and Hedge trimming can be very time consuming, especially forking the borders. Are the cultivator attachments for these machines any good and if so which make would you recommend ? J.D
  3. Nice one Gareth, Nice and fresh looking.
  4. I get a malware warning off my anti virus, not sure why though, looks a very good site.
  5. I am probably wrong but i think you have to remove the inspection cover and remove by hand ?
  6. Heres my attempt Men. Landscaping services Cumbria
  7. Looks good mate, I'm thinking of doing one myself but can't see that template ? Spill the beans Cheers

    My new site

    Very nice mate.
  9. That's very cheap in my opinion mate, the term busy fool, springs to mind. No offence meant of course, I've been there myself, you're in this to make money, not please your clients accountant and share holders. J.D
  10. That sounds more like what i want to be looking at, quick and clean plus no effort needed other than starting the thing. My kinda tool.
  11. Thats a beast, 130mm cut, pity about the price though, could get me chainsaw ticket for that price and use an electric version.
  12. It's not just cutting them straight though, it's the time and effort, i'm goosed after cutting 1, never mind 12 or whatever. Might be just as well getting me tickets for the chainsaw and then I can cut away to me hearts content.
  13. So many different opinions, I'm even more confused now, The most practical seems to be the silky, but they dont cut straight.... ? Why aren't there plain old circular saws on the market that will cut 4 inches ffs
  14. Do they cut in a straight line though, thought they looked a bit hitty missy when they hit knots etc ?
  15. We have a 57 mm circular saw but they add time to the job and are a pain in the arse when you want to cut points on cut down posts mate, that's why a thought a saw of some type would be useful, 1 cut and done rather than flipping the bloody post over 4 times....
  16. Well it was one of the American diy shows i saw it on so your probably right mate, I'll have a look for a sugoi now. Cheers
  17. Alright lads, we've been building a decked area today and what with past experience and wet wood etc we wondered what was best for cutting the tops off of 4 in posts, we haven't got a chainsaw license so that's one method ruled out.... Its bloody donkey work cutting the buggers even with a decent hand saw, and I have seen these used on some tv programme somewheres So whats the general consensus on reciprocating saws ??? J.D
  18. Alright men, Where do you get your CRB check for your employees etc, seems to be hundreds of places that do it, but i like to use recommended firms for this kinda stuff ? Any recommendations ? J.D
  19. Very nice that mate, nice n simple.
  20. Looks like you need an Independant vehicle inspection mate if you think you have a case. I had a problem with a shitroen last year that had engine trouble only 3 - 4 months after purchase. I could have went down the civil courts route but decided against it as Trading standards etc didnt seem interested. So i dint bother proceeding. You Dont have much comeback on 2nd hand stuff unless they are warranted.
  21. Ha, painted flames in bloody deedy...... Thanks for the comments all the same though ;-)
  22. Thanks for all the comments lads. We will probably go back to the designer and swap the Safecontractor logo on the side door of the van to the front door and move the telephone numbers up there plus increase the size of the lettering. The chevrons would look great on the back doors also, not sure how to squeeze them in there though, whilst increasing the size of the telephone numbers at the same time... The blue logo will deffo stand out more though I agree, I thought about getting the van sprayed black just for the silver logo... must stay off the beer when making business decisions...:ridinghorse: J.D
  23. Alright men, I need some opinions on the signwriting for my van, is there too much text or not enough, do i need both landline ( diverted to mobile ) and mobile numbers etc, any thoughts most welcome. J.D
