  1. there will be schemes and other things out there, but as mentioned above they will just be obscure and have odd requirements like you must have webbed feet or an iQ of exactly 123
  2. even though planes can handle more compaction than other species, that is just not acceptable:thumbdown:
  3. Yeah as James said you have to organise the folders on your computer and then when syncing the phone click the photo tab and click sync photos. You can then choose which folder eg my pictures and then all the folders in there you can choose all of them or select folders. The ios 4 is an improvement on previous versions. There are more useful features such as you can organise apps into folders. They are good pieces of kit if you use them well!
  4. I wouldn't give them a penny. They obviously aren't repairing the saw as you asked. Are they even qualified to do so? Are there any other places you could take it?
  5. yeah because i wouldnt have been able to do the back cut properly, that height meant the saw would actually have enough room to get between the tree and the shed, with me still being able to hold it. that was actually my first domestic job, i look back on it now and i do see many flaws that day.
  6. I did actually nearly bring the hedgecutters (I mean forgot to pack them but same thing!) . But I could have done with some some secateurs on that job. Everything was as thin or thinner than my little finger and I had a zubat to do it with! The odd leader to do but that was 3-4 strokes with the zubat and it was done. I found the job quite therapeutic actually. As it was a nice day and nice weather and It was all done before 11! Would have been more fun as a takedown though. Got another job through the customer so happy days
  7. I would have preferred removal. But that what they wanted. Didn't want to leave it as a square top so left it staggered like that. I didn't have another rope with me unfortunately and it was only a a central point to keep my balance. The ladder was the best access to a good standing point which even that was crushing my feet. Worked with what I had to do. Customer was happy so why should I complain?
  8. I have used ZAGG invisibleshield for 3 years nearly now. First on my iPod and then on all my iPhones. £15 for a full body cover that you really can't scratch and it comes with a lifetime warranty. I had an issue an went through 7 on the front of my phone. It was a dodgy screen I think as I had that replaced and I put one on after and it was fine. They make them for all sorts of devices. Pricey but worth it I think.
  9. its still cheaper than a new one! If you smash the screen on your iphone you can book an appointment at the genius bar in the apple store and you pay £139 and they give you a replacement, you give them your smashed one and they swap it for a new one out of a brown box, my dad has had 2 new ones this way., he stood on one, then ran over the next! Both within a month! I find the iphone to be the easiest to use, it has so many capabilities especially with all the apps available. Im looking to upgrade to the iphone 4 in the next month or so! Ive been brave enough to take my phone up the tree a few times, i have a camera lens case with a very secure velcro strap that fits snugly on my sequoia and i can fit two phones in there and t zips up, plus it is padded so its great. Ive had every model so far bar the newest, ive had a few warranty replacements (dust under the glass) but ive always been careful and when ive upgraded ive given the preivous to my girlfriend so we both have one. WE must look sad in public places!
  10. id be worried about your mate, what was he searching for to find that!
  11. i think they do also, they are persistent in the winter on common alders, italian alders and grey alders to my knowledge!
  12. I've got a job in the works that has a sycamore that is stressed (pointed out by Hama in my picture thread the other week). It wants a 10% reduction, deadwood removal and a root feed. What would be the bees practice during the reduction and deadwooding? I don't want to induce further stress to the tree but also I'm struggling to judge how much deadwood I need to take out as some tips are dying back but still have little leaf area. Help would be appreciated! Thanks
  13. I believe alders produce catkins. Being in the betulaceae family
  14. heres a conifer reduction i did, im quite pleased with the outcome! also the neatest stacked pile of cuttings ever
  15. Yeah it's linked to hydraulics so when it's in travel it can be moved back to centre
  16. I do prefer to take more frequent breaks and take lots of small sandwiches so then at each break you could have a sandwich and it replaces the crbs and energy you need. Bananas are great for energy too!
  17. I was told a comment 'if your not man enough to wear type c's then you shouldn't wear any!'
  18. No problem ed. It was a good day. Hope to have more days like that. I'll get the pics on facebook and vids on YouTube in the next day or so
  19. i saw the aftermath of that today, it was all very fetching indeed! ive got other colours for you ed if you want to 'mix it up a bit'
  20. what width are you looking for? i know a guy who has a 3m flail mower.

    try ebay for parts aswell, found mister solutions was a good price, its a £ per inch of bar, i bought a chain for my 200t, and he sent me 2, for just under £14. genuine stihl chains too!
  22. I had a problem with my 260 not oiling very well or at all. If I shook it it would let some through for a bit buy I just took it to my local stihl guy and he put a new system in it. Now the oil is coming out nicely. The chain is soaking 10 seconds after a cold start. He also put a new diaphragm, carb kit and spark plug. And chucked a service in for free!
  23. After a 9.30-5.30 day in the sun and drinking about 3 litres. I've ended the day with mild heat exhaustion. And mild sunburn! I was chipping a brash pile accumulated over 6 months. A full day and it's still needing a few hours tomorrow morning! Just a message to say make sure you drink more than enough and if you feel tired have a minute!
  24. this is my favourite comment: This wasn't a subtle attack; it involved the use of a chainsaw to cut through the trunk. well, it was hardly a hungry beaver wasnt it?
  25. is it ok to do that and not cause any problems? just because there is no spark arrestor but idk if that would make a difference if there never was one. ill make the hole a bit bigger then my sunday is gonna be fuunnn!
