  1. Just seen thisnon amazon. I can get it in an electronic version for a considerable amount cheaper than a hard copy. It seems like a decent enough book to get? Is there anything else along similar lines? I did hear mention of something like that but not sure where to look! Wood and Tree Fungi: Biology, Damage, Protection, and Use eBook: Olaf Schmidt: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
  2. Love the thumbs up at the end hama
  3. what work was going on there rob?
  4. not where that one was dropped! we took down a large beech which had a few pieces of shrapnel embedded at least 6" in, we knew it was there because the saw found it!
  5. so they just wanted it back? looks smart does that! doesnt quite match colour though, you should paint it orange to match the chipper!
  6. i think thats eds chipbox at 45s in!
  7. new chipbox for our navara, seeing as ive got a chipper, pulling a trailer outside my licence allowance wasnt going to last long, so to keep it legal ive built this, still yet to be properly mounted, it will be bolted to the rails of the truck for added security!
  8. Cool I love bits of history like that!
  9. Equipment lists shouldn't be shown if there's a security issue IMO, it should be dealt with when contact is made in private. If it is shown then it should be general as possible.
  10. You should be covered by the distance selling regs. Anything bought online from anywhere entitles you to a 7 day cooling off period and you can by law receive a full refund if a product or service cannot be provided as advertised.
  11. I can't wait for my new whaleskin shoes!
  12. ill be trundling up to watch fellow students at the comp
  13. Hi pete sorry I didn't notice this sooner you could very well have come down. If I get anything else then you are welcome to come along. Might have a chance for you around the 21st where I'll be slightly closer to Wigan. Mick, I know I am quiet but I would rather bring in someone I know will work faster, I gained some handy pointers from gnarlyoak who came and helped, which is why I like to bring people in, give and take situations
  14. Oak pruning from today. It had gone mental for phototropism, long thin branches are like jelly to stand on! Gnarlyoak did majority of climbing and I had a little bash too! Little chipper did well. Improvised chip box on the pickup was filled. Was mulching street trees on the way home :briggrin:
  15. I could tow my pencil sharpened with that and chip into the pickup. I'd be able to drive the whole lot into their back garden! That truck looks mighty useful! I wish I had that money lying around! Maybe I should start drilling and selling oil. I hear that business is booming
  16. you can do facetime with them now with the intro of the cameras i got the ipad 2, best purchase ever, used it everyday, replaced my laptop and i hardly need my desktop now!
  17. I'll remember that chilli tip! We've got some super hot chillis growing in the poly tunnel. Normal ones from tesco are 60,000 scoville units. These ones are 1million! That would cause some serious discomfort on the crown jewels!
  18. Jon I think you've just relayed the email that apple sent to all 3 of my emails to us! I think they will be pretty cool. Can't wait to have a go in the apple shop. Shame they are silly money!
  19. nice job, very smooth rigging! is that blaze i see as a rigging rope?
  20. Which model of the greenmech are you going to look at? I have the 18hp cs100 and I am made up with it. It may be slightly more than others but having the height of the discharge chute makes it handy for filling pickups. I find that the cs100 has a good amount of power for what will fit in it. Be careful with small logs, they tend to bounce off the blades but filling it with brash and logs will force the through. You can't just bash it all in like a roller fed chipper, but adapt your work styles to suit the chipper and it will work a treat. The electric start on the 18hp makes it easier! Keep the belts tight, and it performs well.
  21. Obviously this is paid. If you climb fast enough I'll be happy to stay on the ground but have no qualms if I need to do some myself
  22. iphone here, loyal to the brand! android is what runs on the samsung phones
  23. got a job on friday, want to climb it myself but want to get another guy in to do some climbing to ease off the workload on myself, an ideal time for anybody who wants a bit more experience! st helens area contact me on here or by phone 07516348002 cheers
  24. I'd be there with my little cs100 for probably 3 days! Then I'd take the stem down!
