  1. wouldn't get far we get given a list of trees by the boss so not sure on tpo situations i phoned the boss straight away yep, i will let you know what, if anything, happens
  2. I reduced this Beech back away from the garage about two weeks ago. It's a council owned tree growing towards a privately owned garage next to a house. I was walking past it today and noticed it looked a bit different! It was immediately apparent that someone had done a cowboy backcut as you can see in the first photo. Then i saw the damage to the garage (which was more extensive than can be seen in the pics) - i couldn't believe it! I then saw a bloke next to the garage who turned out to be a prospective tenant, wanting to rent the house and garage in question. The estate agent then turned up who informed me that the landlord told her the tree had come down by itself and he will be going through the insurance company!!! THEN the next door neighbour told me that she saw the landlord and two friends cutting the tree down, told them to stop but they ignored her!! I don't think the insurance company will appreciate being lied to and i don't think the council will appreciate him felling one of their (possibly tpo'd) trees! :sneaky2:
  3. Stretch Air!
  4. that's great! you spell it 'eucy', don't you...?

  8. that is brilliant, mate! exactly the kind of furniture i would like - natural, without straight lines etc (would never be able to afford it so better get off my arse and make something!)
  9. haha! that would look great with a safari behind it! coincidentally, someone on the site has a safari with red stripe down the side that they're doing up! i'll get a few photo's of their progress!
  10. i've been quite slack of late. here it is looking a bit cleaner and i've ripped out the bench seats in the back. not much else to report. here's my mates russian beast 'zill'. it drove across the wood pile and it didn't even feel like it had left the flat ground

  17. the only time i've seen them with 16" bars is on 'axe men'! for when they knock the tops out of the big trees.
  18. bloody hell! well done! you could buy an 88 in a year of saving the revenue!
  19. cool! i remember you got a cheque for around £70 at 250,000 views - have they continued the revenue?
  20. yes i did think that when i got down, but the spec was to previous and the customer was happy so hey!
  21. it is quite liberating! don't know how arbs with locks can function in the summer! (saying that, that german climbing competition master has big old dreads)
  22. haha, i had dreadlocks a few years ago. no dog though do you remember wango riley's travelling stage? my ambi is parked up at his yard. there's a few nice converted horse box's and a 70ft narrow boat that was craned in
  23. hopefully. my friends bought a slightly older CF but it turned out to be a piece of crap, apart from the engine, which is the problem with mine. luckily they want to sell it and it's next to my van at the site! check out this website, it's like porn for old traveller homes.
