bloody hell. that kickback ones a beauty. that should be printed on the side of every box on every make of saw sold. that'd make some people think!!!

hi david, i live near retford and if you get any shooting and need a hand let me know. i've got .22 air rifles and shotguns

my 10 year old nets logs off our pile and has a store out front with an honesty box. needless to say he gets paid 3 out of four times. going to get a video camera for him. we'll nail the scum!

looks good. had two 10" ash stumps last week. don't have a stumpy at the minute but that looks like it'd cope easily. anyone know where to get one?

did 6lts three weekends ago. used a recipe from an old lady used to live near us. half ltr of the cheapest nastiest gin half ltr of red wine the same nastiest cheapest 6oz sugar 6oz sloe berries (blackthorn fruit for all you townies) leave for as long as possible cant into bottles. leave as long as you can sit on your hands drink guarenteed p:ss@d guarenteed no hangover if you're really feeling in the christmas spirit you can dip the used sloes into melted dark chocolate. :lol::lol:

probably got an LDV

thanks for the positive comments guys. just wound me up when the pr@ck collered me in the pub. lets hope he messes up n drops one on the garage. lol

hi buddy, just bought this for my ten year old. ebay item no. 110446048555 let u know how he gets on when it arrives

going to the fitters yard today to measure up for the box and working platforms. going to hurt the wallet i know

and this is her with the new back just fitted

hi all, managed to dig out an old pic of the pikey bus. now you can see how she got her name

saw a customer in the pub last night and got a right bollocking. quoted him £300-00 to take down an ash n a syc in his garden. thought it was a fair price a "mate" of his at work has just done it for £20-00 a tree said he'd done it just for the firewood. the trees were fairly straightforward fells, but when asked about insurance etc, the bloke shook his head, called me a conman and walked away. wtf are you supposed to do ???

wheres the poll button for 100% ??????

did a slabbing job a month ago, customer wanted the price keeping low so we agreed to use all soil in some raised beds. rang her at lunch to say there was too much soil and did she want me to take some away, i'd do it for the price of the diesel. no, she says, keep piling it up, i'll sort it. rang me later that night, very happy with the slabs, but she's not paying as theres too much soil, and its not good enough quality!!!!!!! no matter what i offered, she wasn't interested in listening, didn't want me back on site, not paying, i'm picking on her as she's on her own!!!!! thats fine, don't pay a penny, was my reply, are you sure she said yeah, i'm new to area and trying to get a good reputation, so if she's THAT unhappy, i'll send the lads round in the morning and take it all up. No, no. can we come to a compromise, was her answer the upshot of this is. when i now get a job accepted, i take a job sheet with me, with the job described in full, price, what we're doing, what, if anything the customer is doing, and before work starts, the sheet gets signed by the customer. no arguments then.

retune your freeview box, and quest should come up on 38

thanks buddy

hi, just a quick one. can anyone tell me what a cubic meter of dry, hardwood logs weigh. alternatively, how many cube to a ton. thanks dave

have to be postage mate. i'm north nottinghamshire, south yorkshire border. can get my courier to collect for £14-00 if you can wrap em together. can pay via paypal if you've got an account

just watched it on bbc iplayer. very funny. very nice kit. hands up who's not jealous. wants his fingers breaking. what the program always fails to mention is the fact that WHENEVER you get a tradesman in you should get at least three quotes. end of story. if you get one thats too expensive, or aint got a clue what their talking about, its "thanks for the quote, goodbye"!!!! not too hard is it

anyone know where i can hire a groundie like the one in the advert at the top of the forum page. think she'd be worth 20k a year

my first job in the woods involved a yorkshire bill hook, and about 5 miles of hawthorn hedge to lay. one friday the forman gave me a brand new bowsaw to "saw a few logs" after i'd done about 20 sacks, up pulls a car n loads em in. the foreman got handed a wad of cash, when i asked where my cut was, i was told in no uncertain terms to F@@k right off!!! equal rights for the workers!!!

they'll do mate. what are you looking for for the pair of them

sounds good rupe. have they got mounting brackets? what do you want for em

now you're talking. 30' ash with only 8' square drop zone. that'd be fun to watch

only sold 2 to within a 20 minute drive. got one into sheffield next week. store and 1.5 m3 of seasoned hard wood logs £240-00. it'll do me for a days work
