its coming anyway! thats why Khan is so keen on all the cameras. I believe its also in there actual plans for like 2030!

jokes aside a good gypsy wand as i know it as is a great tool! can save a crappy climb or stretch many a time.

had to google that one! do you not worry about it coming undone?

powered. I use the stihl battery one hta 135if i remember right so quite long. We do put it in the rear onto the chip but staff arent as carful and the bar oftern gets put under pressure. My last one actually ended up cracking the aluminium casting of the inner head, i assume from metal fatigue. Cheers

Can i ask how you transport your pole saws? Ours goes on the back but i alway see the bar getting bent slightly. One of the guys wants to strap it to the ladder bars on the roof but i dont really like that idea for fear it may come loose and slide off. Anyone come up with a alternative and a pic to show would be ideal. Cheers

not got any further with this garage job (waiting to hear back from the crane operator i use). The tree looks to be in good health ironically but when i went to the root ball it was like sponge! no wonder it came down, the roots were shot. This is a lot bigger in the flesh, a very mature birch it estimate 80+ yrs. it was worked on, crown cleaned and given the thumbs up by another firm just 2 years prior (not myself). ironically following on from other comments the 2 home owners (tree belongs to the house on the left out of the picture) want 2 prices as insurance will only cover up to the fence line even though the garage owner property doesnt own the tree. its a easy job with a crane or a platform (to strip first) and then a timber grab on say a grab loader lorry but a must for something that can lift a heavy lump.

yes sorry i meant more for getting the written confirmation from the insurance. Normal procedure is the client pays and claims back from the insurance later on. Appreciate your advice.

Thats a good idea. do you just put them off until they produce said paperwork then? Everyone i encounter is desperate to get it done asap. Just seen one today, chap says dont break the garage. Its walls are bowing! roof gone!

Evening all. To start i havent done any but the thought did occur to me as we were removing fallen trees. If as one of the jobs we had today the tree didnt cause any damage the house but in the removal process damage was caused what is the situation? Todays tree lay itself down on the corner of a roof, fair bit of weight but zero damage! We got it off with zero damage but i did wonder what would be the case if damage occurred? We were able to rope it and lower it off a nearby tree but if that wasnt there god knows! a crane wasnt a option due to no access and a platform wouldnt work as it needed to be held up once cut from the roof and again no access. Its a insurance job but would the insurance company turn around and say the damage needs to be claimed on my insurance? here is the beauty, got too dark to get more pictures so will finish off in the morning. Cheers

Oasis always thought they were very monotone and strummed basic cords on a guitar. poplar mainly cause they gave the finger to the rest of the music industry at the time (not that they were the first to do this). The fact that they made a successful career and lots of money aside but then there are always useless people that somehow make a fortune. Take a look at the vast "influencers " today. need i say any more?

feel hungry now!

Sorry i dont have the Cscs cards. Plus flat out tbh. But thanks for the nudge! Cheers Jose

sure ive seen the mountaineering guys use this from like the 1900!

Or more likely you set it all up and they call at 6am with a bad belly! (nothing to do with the pub the night before honest gov!) Then you are left in the position to let down the customer at the last minute or give up your day and then your family loses out. Trust me weekend work relying on others sucks!

I am at the quoting stage and looking to see if anyone would be interested in subbing in who owns a small chipper, CS100 etc. it would be for 3 days. In Sandhurst, Berks Or if anyone knows a hire shop that hires small machines out that would also be option. Cheers
