  1. havent used ocean polyester but i no its expensive. ive had similar problem when i tryed Roblon 10mm double braid off slipped with everything i tryed. my mate had exactly same problem with that so i wouldnt recomend that cord.
  2. im lucky to have just started in the industry a few years ago. i would have to second you. it does better are industry its changed me certainly (for the better, i hope)
  3. definetly looks to clean and pointy that still give it a few years to rot down abit will look alright.
  4. have to go some to do a better reduction than that spot on that.
  5. bet hes already been practiceing on the new tree
  6. looked like a top job that smooth work
  7. hope your entering the comps show us young'uns how its done.
  8. he was told because his appearance wasnt good enough.
  9. i do some work for a bloke who did all council work and he used to just quote in his work clothes and they actually stopped useing him because of his appearance. so shoddy or not thats how it works round here.
  10. think it all depends on the sort of client it is, if its every day sort then just chainsaw trousers and company t-shirt clean if possible. but if you get into the big clients like council work and commercial clients i think smart is always best.
  11. what i like to hear, cant stand ivy. esspecially annoying when you dont do it and then go back in few years re-reduce it and its totally covered in ivy lol
  12. the right side of tree looks good though should be pleased with that was the ivy cut aswell?
  13. arrived today with two stein baseball caps cheers for the speedy service guys
  14. not yet mate but no rush dont need it till friday next week
  15. im no expert on this but if i ever had to do it i would break the job down tree by tree.
  16. good way to get down a hung up tree in forestry cutting lumps off till it falls not so good in that enviroment though lol
  17. i looked on the ladys profile who made the vid and there nothing else apart from this one so im guessing there isnt a part 2, unfortunatly.
  18. would have loved to have been let loose on that stick when i was there. do they teach you alot about coronet cuts?? was never mentioned when i was there maybe im just showing my age now lol
  19. is that the oak pole on he main drive through easton? near the big beech if so that is a fair sized stem.
  20. best way to treat conifers
  21. have got my guide for day and half day. just confused me abit when i was quoteing for this cause was so small i done no why they didnt do it them selfs, you couldnt put half day on it. i should make a tiny profit out of this one long as nothing goes wrong. good idea with getting rid of time wasters when they call up though have herd of people getting biten in the ass quoteing from pictures though.
  22. cause it was so small thats all id pay to have something like that done, its going to be liturally 3 or 4 cuts 20mins start to clear up. i phoned up my mate he has his well established company he said well jobs like that id price at 100quid he said you cant get alot for cheaper than that these days. so took his advice.
  23. cheers for all the feedback guys. i can see the pros and cons of priceing cheap and proper price much clearly now.
  24. lucky all jobs so far have been proper trees, conifers are the tester which many companys have under quoted badly when ive climbed for them.
  25. defo a learning thing this is my first proper year having to go quote for work.
