    i spotted the dodgy knifes too. He tried to sell it to me on the proviso that it "hires out at £150 to£200 a day." And chips 8" also could or would not tell me who manufactured the engine only that its chinese and much better than a perkins engine.

    a lot more than your expecting. 1 Can you not bury on site? 2 Tub grinder for half a day may be cheaper way 3 Ring round local farmers and ask for a price per grain trailer taken from site they probably just stick it in a burning pit. Skips or recycling centre. a lot more £££ than above

    To be fair to the OP. I am based about 20 miles from him and his C,V landed on my desk well before this thread was started. If i had any positions i would have given him a days' work trial. Keep up the enthusiasm and an opportunity will arise. Regards Andy

    trap set inside run. i couldnt believe the size of the trap, only just got it thru the door. I have cable tied it all round onto the wire. Good few inches of snow on ground so he probably still hungry. Thanks for advice

    Bloody fox had 3 chickens for dinner overnight. Has chewed and ripped hole in the middle of the wire 6" above ground level. I cable tied any little gaps after he got in thru a little gap in the top wire netting last time (my fault as not seen fox for few years now and most people let their chickens roam free 24hrs). Its well dug in wire with logs all round the edge to stop him digging in. I have seen him its a big quite black coloured dog and i have been within yards of him during daytime. Its not a safe location to shoot so trap or stronger wire are my only options. I have the option to borrow a wire fox trap but no knowledge how to bait it as he didnt leave any bodies behind this time. Any advice gratefully received?

    i do have a concsience but i do cut trees for a living to feed the family and as long as no legal implications - tpo, cons regs, building conditions or ownership dispute and i am pretty certain i will get paid i give sensible professional advice but still do exactly what the customer wants. I still plant far more trees than i fell.

    The first part of your post is correct. The last line would ensure that you never worked for me again. Complete breach of client confidentiality against me personally and between the business and customer. If it was a potential development site the cost implications could be substantial.
  18. treesnatcher
    indeed. How easily did it mill? Looks like a good result. Regards Andy

    i have some nice rings up to about 30 inches. been down couple of months all cut between whorls. I was wondering if it would be possible to take a slice through the middle of the whorl and turn it into a coffee table.

    Tip = Use washing wachine when misses goes out for an hour or 2 Tip 2 = Dishwasher also good for cleaning anything plastic Tip 3 = We have a paint scraper in truck used carefully to scrape sap off silkys and saw bars during the day.
