  1. If you are in the doctors cartel and you **************** up they kick you out, if your in the AA they take tell you your a “naughty boy” and then take your money. Can anyone tell me if a AA member has been refused renewal due to poor quality work
  2. So mark the ones you can see and call the trees you don’t first thining, you will need to thin anyway if the bramble is taller than the trees you have left it too late. just have to take the hit and mow the tree. at the stage you are replant is easy and you can chose species that have done well, don’t think there is a method to save all the saplings, you will need to carry this operation out for next few years if the trees are not regular rows might as well cut into rows and beat up to make numbers back for your grant or you will just be making life difficult, a weekend with the mates playing in your plantation could be called fun depending on bq and beer but not for many weekends over next five years
  3. Get a decent brush cutter and a flail pedestrian or tractor, then carefully cut around the trees, leave some where the trees have failed, cut carefully by hand round the actual trunks,with a hook. It’s going to take along time first time round but gets quicker the more you do or spray in a afternoon with glyphosate!
  4. Moose and dear don’t claim for whiplash or life changing injuries that disappear weeks later !
  5. Take Alec up on his kind offer, you will learn more in ten minutes with him than many ,many pages of this thread, there’s nothing like actually being shown, now is the right time to be looking at the trees ,don’t leave it too long
  6. This will get interesting as not going to be like for like, do we include vehicles?
  7. Try e bay good deals to be had for multiple pallets
  8. At £65000 starting price can’t see them selling many to members here couldn’t see if that was plus vat, I’m waiting for grenadier
  9. Given the overhang the possibility of overloading the back axle will be high,
  10. They will be sold on maybe in as little as five years with very few hours,airports have rules about age of equipment that can be used airside
  11. Council think tree ok what do you do?
  12. I’d be onto the company looking for liquidated damages for non completion, if you pay direct probably lose all warranty , phone company tell them each day of no work is going to cost them then think of a figure and double it
  13. The council arborist tells me that the prune is all it needs,and these are pictures after it been worked on
  14. Following pictures show council owned tree, 25m from very well used bus stop, 75m from doctors surgery if fails would croo very busy road would you prune or fell?
  15. Nice design gate worth a try on eBay or direct to salvage yard worth a lot more than scrap value
  16. The bottom hinge is usually a cast metal block set in stone or concrete
  17. I never believe the internet, when I order it’s by phone the first question is is it in stock? The second when can I have it and the third who’s delivering it, what I like is honesty and I value this above price,I like the person who answers the phone to have some idea what I’m talking about and not be passed around, I realise this service costs and has to be paid for
  18. If mine would drill all sleeper apart from top and drive 12 MM rebar through into a hole dug underneath then fill hole with a nice wet proper concrete mix not postcrete ,then screw top sleeper to rest, glue and plug screw holes
  19. Stand them up get a nice picture and try bit short for drive gates, think they are later than Victorian more Edwardian did you get the bottom hinges?
