  1. have you got the pics to look at?
  2. don't want to lower the tone but make sure you mount it on the right helmet:lol:
  3. Never seen a variagated Tulip either, but we do get quite a few variagated Cornus mas up here, nice pics:thumbup: I may be asking to "borrow" those ehem:blush:
  4. another question, is that your own heras fencing set-up? If so how do you transport it all and how long does it take to set up? Tis a good way of keeping unwanted people out of the work site:biggrin: Very nice pics by the way, looked like some good jobs:thumbup:
  5. you may need to climb to look at the top of the branches as with massaria you probably won't see any symptems from the floor
  6. it also depends on the species of tree!
  7. that second to last one is an awesome pic, i'd have that on my wall its that good!
  8. Thanks for that Paul, already spoke to Jo and need to get in touch with Ken but which Paul do you mean? so where abouts are you originally from Paul? wigan pie-eater born and bred but now living further west in burscough me! And hopefully i'll be at the BS conference in Wrexham, just need to book the day off work:thumbup:
  9. so what super phantasmological upside down through an thorugh step bore jump cut did you do this time?
  10. the ole tree euthanasia then! i did say fell it with a heart full of empathy you know!
  11. FELL IT....!! will make lots of lovely firewood:biggrin:
  12. Is the client somebody who may try such procedures to see if they work or not? maybe though, the best thing would be to remove and re-plant, but isn't it worth i shot if financially possible?
  13. don't worry, come september, i'll be there:thumbup:
  14. yeh rob, i've got my copy off athens:thumbup: the basic tree inspection course for AA members is (i think) 140, for others (i think) 155
  15. I've got a long way to go before i become a pro but its something i want to work towards:thumbup: books and knowledge are the key to success:001_cool: and it helps to have a mathematical and logical brain! I've got so much i want to see and do i'm just scared i'll run out of time:lol:
  16. isn't that always the case!
  17. i am interested, will see if i can get the day off work tomorrow
  18. read it twice and a half so far:thumbup: I keep boring everybody at work with VTA symptoms:lol: When is my six weeks up i can't remember? also, when at the show on saturday i spoke with Jo from treesource, really nice she was and mentioned you, said she'd done the stickers for you as i said i was in the book scheme! I also noticed a few other stupsi books that i'll be purchasing in the near future:thumbup:
  19. just looked... the one on the 5th is in wrexham the one on the 6th is in carmarthen
  20. which one ciaran? (date i mean)
  21. The manchester area would be an ideal place for an ARB show, we have some awesome parks and woodlands up here but they tend to go unnoticed in regards to the northern branch and ken linford on the AA website it says Tim Beckley is the chairman not ken Linford. I've come across Ken before but not for a long time
  22. it ripped... the first 8 seconds of the vid show don't show the gob very well but a normal gob would not rip the way that one did
  23. how about literally chopping it in half:blush: and keeping all the low stuff untouched a bit aggressive and not great practice but the tree remains, it won't hit the house if it falls, and there is enough foliage left for photosynthesis even though it would be a harsh procedure just a thought anyway....
  24. :congrats: well said, by the time i've done my FdSc i'll have 6 years climbing behind me, i also hope to do another 4-5 more whilst learning to be a consultant that way i'll actually know how the job is done when sorting work and contracts and trees for other people:thumbup:
