  1. I have a couple of good sized eucs to take down in howe green, there is going to be some good diameter stuff,its giong to happen in the next 2 weeks,if you want some pm me & we can work out how to get your hands on it. I'm not selling it,just saves it from the log pile.
  2. Clean the air filter too!
  3. Cant beat a good mulberry,luverly!
  4. Sounds like a cop out to me,pass the buck. The houseowner is the one who tried it on with you,whatever the excuses. Great you got it sorted,we dont need agg like that.
  5. Frightening bit is the time spent reading and replying to this thread,I could have had the job done!!
  6. Not at all mate,no need for sorries:001_smile: Bash it out does sound a bit careless,its a term we use round here a bit,more meant towards getting stuck in rather than a 'bodge it & scarper'type of thing. But I can understand how it might have come across..
  7. Rob thats a good idea,that increases your profits as you wont have to pay him,but can you video it,as it is arb related.
  8. Hi there Mark,but that is a poor excuse for not being on here.....
  9. £120,I havnt been to Calais yet.
  10. No offence mate,we are just throwing it about(the prices),but if I could do it for less than your £150,surely that makes good sense to the consumer,and if I did it on the way home to save THEM some money,how does that make me look sneaky? As I said no offence,just discussion:001_smile:
  11. I would agree,as a stand alone job.
  12. I did say £100,maybe less,I wont price anything firm on a photo. regarding the forum,no ones quoting,we are discussing what it might cost,and how we might give the customer good value,in my case by doing it on the way home. I dont have to justify my costs to anyone but myself if I were to price a job,and if I can earn a bit more by hitting a second job on the way home whats wrong with that,I bought my kit to work it, not clock off a 5 every day. Some days you do well,some not so,if the price I loosly sugested is fair,then the circumstances dont come into it. So as to negate the sneaky bit,and be fair to the consumer,(as I always am),I would do it before the main days work,that way I havnt 'already earned mymoney that day', is that any better!
  13. I did notice them,I was going to spread a pot of shiphams crab pread on the limb before I dropped it,saves on the chipping,then barbie the piranas for dinner. Its a plan..
  14. I should be so lucky! Yeh maybe cheap on little ones like this,but its an easy peasy on the way home sort of job that can realy make your money up. Look at it like this for a minute,say I get done early from the deays work(or not),stop in there on the way home,I use another climber with me most days,he gets £100 to £120 subbing to me for a whole days work,so we bash this out at the end of the day in an hour,that one hour has paid for his whole days climbing give or take. THat makes good financial sense to me.
  15. If you get stuck,pm me & I will sort you out.
  16. No mate,I would do that one on my own,2 hours max,and call it an after work added bonus! If I earn my daily rate,then get this on the way home Ive had a right result in my opinion,wouldnt you do it?????
  17. I would have thought £150 tops,if it was round here I would do that for £100,maybe a bit less. Where in suffolk?
  18. When you getin from work,flop on the couch, open the laptop,& the bl##by dog lays his head across the keyboard. When you get up a six in the morning log on,and at eight oclock your groundy walks through the door to find you naked on the couch with the computer on your lap.
  19. I wouldn't muck about with the lady,get the job done,invoice to the husband,and if he falters tell him you are going to small claims,the job is too big to take a knock / get messed about. I feel for you, we all get it from time to time.
  20. As mesterh says,its not a hard job,turning the pump backwards generaly pushes the gunk out.
  21. If you get propper stuck for a topping saw I can lend you a 200t,pm us if you need it.
  22. If I see the oportunity to assist others I will jump at it,Done a few big & small,its one of the best uplifting feelings you can get seeing a strangers turmoil eased,even if just because you showed a bit of heart.
