So no one pulled me up on this error! LOL Is in Fact L. versipelle aka the orange birch bolete, and I cant believe I missed that!

agree, Oaks seem to cope well with Ganodermas bar resinaceum, which this clearly isnt.

I bought a full Alaskan outfit a whi;e ago, best bloody bit of kit ive owned for a long time. theres no going back now, everything is getting sliced and diced!

ripewood formation

this isnt disease, hollowing is normal!

I was on fibre, its awesome. sadly though it is "capped" according to your pay grade, fibre is basically capable of 100's of meg a second but we all get capped off at the price we pay, more reasons to hate this system! Fibre optics mean light, think speed of light! its only your processor cant handle it! 100Mg BB is standard in Japan

Bankers control the money supply, they expand it and contract it according to their needs. Max Keizer would be a good place to start looking at the reasons why mortgages are hard to come by right now, one of them is that England PLC or rather (corporation) is bankrupt, yes i did say that! There are advisors that can help, they are hard to track down and charge a fair bit for the skills, but essentially if you want a mortgage or remortgage right now your going to have to box clever. I personally wouldnt recommend getting into one right now, I got out of mine recently for the very same reasons i wouldn't take one for a while. The bankers are playing a game of monopoly right now, interest rates we have enjoyed for some time are not going to last. if your old enough youll remember your parents struggling through the markets crashes, but I suspect this one is going to make that one look like kids play. One of the reasons they maintain bubbles is the release of equity, house prices rise beyond TRUE value, folk release this fantasy money and pump it into an economy that cant sustain itself with goods created. Thats why Pensions just got relaxed, so the older gen with the most backup can also pump real money into a failing economy. Theres trouble ahead will robinson.

Another spot on post! I use a guy and his groundy, I used to work for him, many moons ago, he is charging that rate and when he comes out for me I make the same with out the overheads and commitments! As a friend Ive tried to show him the error, but he has a mental state that denies him the capacity to see past his own low self worth, HE has convinced himself he wont get the work, its the saddest thing to see a friend struggle this way.

thats about it isn't it, I mean what is the point in destroying your body and having zero life/time to be free? Seems so many people have their priorities all wrong, we should work to live not live to work, I genuinely feel sorry for those who's world is held to ransom to such a degree that there is no time to stand and stare, to smell the rose. We all need different things, have different long term goals and different costs, to try and say a set price for our sweat equity is to be dictated too by others who want to set your worth. I know what I am worth, sadly it seems many have trouble deciding what treework is worth. it isnt about what you do, its about how much you, YOU value your sweat equity and knowledge. I gave a guy a quote the other day, he took a back step and said ive had quotes a fair bit cheaper than that, I said I knew I wasn't the cheapest and had no desire to be so. I dont like working in ths game under pressure, I like to enjoy my work and my life, thats the true art, managing that balance. Its all too easy to forget how much we enjoy work when the pressures are on, humans NEED work, I know I certainly do, even when I'm not working i am extremely hands on and active. When you get the balance right work is not a labour but a pleasure:001_smile:

Loving my landy! go me a little log trailer too!

best post in the thread! I couldnt give a flying wotsit what everyone else charges, the young guns working for peanuts cant compete in my leugue, my clients value me above and beyond scrappers, I pretty much choose my clients, not the other way round. If you wanna knock your pipes out for peanuts thats your "manifestation":lol:

will all you guys post your numbers because at those rates you can sub for me any days! I can see me getting out of a lot of climbing and ball ache using all your rates!

resinaceum IMO too, late but for what its worth

depending on genetics some Hawthorns can be devoid of thorns

ive seen many apps pass through despite having % wordings, sadly the Planners are not up to speed yet

that would be what was coined as "crown clean" in the old days, not advisable#

yeah, I know:blushing: cant catch em all, sometimes theres 1k unread posts when i look in!

very true! addict for life me thinks! Im always there keeping an all seeing eye on the questions!

deadwood only IMO

thats very well kept grass...........

It will NEVER be the same in there

been up the plane by the water fall, well worth it,

have any of you been into the woods recently? its been desimated, lost a lot of trees to thinning, then the storms came, and now they even took the fallen for logs and lumber, tragic whats been going on

the current radiator IS a reconditioned, and the chipper cuts out and overheats in summer. I know there is an equivalent rad out there, parts are off the shelf not specially manufactured for each machine. legitimate "Authorised" means 700 quid!

This has been resolved off forum now, couldnt wait any longer! Really surprised no carvers up for this one!
