Hiya Deer man, the normal day is 8 at the yard and at the end of the day 4.30 finish, i get back about 4.15 to take chipper of and put kit in the lock up. i think time and a half would be fair. regards western:biggrin:

Hi hodge, i will have a word with him. No i don't wan't to loose future work from him. He pays me well for the work i do, but he defo works me very hard for it, i get all the big tech job's with very little thanks. what he said to me when i first started is " i'll screw you for every penny i pay" regards western.

i'm contract climbing for a company in south wales and got back to yard to day and the boss wanted a word with a few of us abot a job in Reading. He want's a few of us to go to Reading to start a big job for him, basicly im going to be leaving home at 6 and the boss want's to stay on site till it gets dark. so that means i wont get back home till gone 7 at night. I don't mind doing this at all, but do you guys think it would be unfair if i put on an extra money on my day rate for this time i'm going to be working in reading? how much more a day do i charge him for this time i will be working away? regards western:001_smile:

hiya mate, i live in quakers yard just between merthyr and ponty. I would like to help out but can't because im contract climbing for another company. But for the future will you keep me in mind if you need anyone? regards western. -
you'll be fine mate:thumbup: with the free fall sink cut and really with all your cuts you need good work positioning, this is the key for precise cuts. make sure you have good triangleation on you're main ancore point and you're work position strop, this enables you to be locked in to position when preforming you're cutting. in regards to the sink cut start with the most difficult angle first. let us know hoe you get on with the test and relax and take your time:thumbup: regards western.

All the best mate, my only advise is, take your time to get into a good work postion so you can do your cuts spot on! it not a race the examiner will only want to see if your safe enough to do it on your own without supervision. just chill and your be fine:thumbup: regards western

what thickness is the flipline mate? i find the positioner more effective on a larger diameter rope. i have a skinny flipline and i find it slips a little on it.
-
hiya mate, i have a art positioner 2! if you would like, i could copy the instruction manuel and send it to you by post ? The manuel shows you step by step with diagrams on how to take apart and reasemble. regards western

Hello all, i have been training for the past 8month's and have managed to lose over 2stone and pack on a fair bit of muscle, just from eating 6small meals aday consisting of quailty protein such as lean steak, chicken, fish, cottage cheese eggs and complex carb's such as brown rice, sweet potatoes whole meal bread etc and as much veg as i like. I also take multi vits, and whey protein for recovery after the training. My training week is very intense: i train 6day's a week starting on sunday with chest and arm's, monday legs, tuesday and wednesday 45min cardio, thursdays shoulders, friday, back and tricep's. All resistent training consists of; starting with 10min cardio warm up/warm down: 5-6different excercises for each muscle group, 5sets of 10-12 reps getting heaver with each set, 30sec's rest between rep's and 2mins rest between excercises. Try this programme if you want to very/very ripped.

CS30 & 31 - best affordable college course
western replied to Chilterns's topic in Training & education
Hi mate, and welcome to arb talk. firstly these courses are not cheap, but 1500 for cs30-cs31 does sound a little on the high side. You could inrole on a full time course for that sort of money! This mite sound like a daft question, but have you tried googling tree surgery/forestry training providers in you local area? Here are a couple of the best ones i know off -Merrist wood college -Kingswood training -plumpton college All the best with the course hunt you'll get ther in the end, western:thumbup: -
Very Nice dude:thumbup:

Put a small piece of 4x2 on the seat with a 9" nail in it with a empty pillow case over the top, they will get a nasty sting in the back side when they jump in
