Why read through a pointless thread if they're that bothered? I'd say most of my posts/threads are pointless, so bye bye everyone...

What are you 'recruiting' them for? Maybe they won't want to be recruited.....

alex_m replied to Brodie's topic in Employment
My workmate is getting fed up being paid 56 quid a day (before tax!) being a groundy with 2 years experience. he's 27 yrs old, has mortgage, 2 yr old son etc etc to think about. He said his brother in law works at a chicken factory for £10/hr , £15/hr overtime and saturdays, £30/hr sundays / bank holidays If he doesn't get a pay rise soon he said he's applying!! -
Perhaps going without certain things for a while until you get that dream wage would be a good idea. (ie sell car for cheaper one, get rid of sky, cut down on booze, buy cheaper food - not saying this is specific to you) i would say between 20-25k a year is good enough in the current climate, to keep you going (so £60-80 ish after tax)

an army truck to convert into a motor home might end up more than a 'few' grand though....

Did I say I put birds through chippers? No. Did I put a 'sneaky' symbol (for what it's worth), after the question, implying a joke of sorts? Yes. You are the first person to misunderstand it....

It's probably my girly, sensitive skin that's the problem That would be great Yve, thanks! Let me know and I will give them a proper test!

i haven't used my 'safe eyes' goggles for a while now, just because they are so uncomfortable! i thought they may have some soft padding that fit to your face without any gaps. infact they have a thin, hard plastic and the only way to get rid of all the gaps round the edge is to tighten the straps to the point were they are almost drawing blood! (will the mk2 safe eyes, with soft padding be coming out soon?) will be getting some of those stihl ones jonsie mentioned

looks like a fun job! i haven't had a nice rigging dismantle since the end of feb, would love something like this!
-
those slices looks awesome, almost like flames!

Nothing too exciting, but dismantling a spruce is heaven compared to the relentless L/A deadwooding we have done over the last week! (oh yeh, before someone says anything - the customer wanted it left that high so he could rip it out) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-jsVMG20UY]YouTube - Norway Spruce Top Out[/ame]

I've got the stein one, much sturdier than the husky one. twenty something quid, holds harness, ropebag, second rope, spikes, bits for rigging etc etc with plenty of space left (bit too heavy now! ) it's got pockets on the outside, is kind of waterproof (enough for a light shower) and a flat hard base. Pretty sure all of the shops on here sell them.

yes, willow, think the thread title was stuck in my head ...

Cool video steve! Is that the place where i helped you out with that beech dismantle? Looks similar...
