  2. oldwoodcutter
    Yep,thats the way i like to do it too,and i havnt got a horse or a wide brimmed hat.

    Yep,handshake every time.Writing every last detail down in front of a domestic client can easily give the impression of a detective taking down a statement.
  4. oldwoodcutter
    I wish i could move as quick as that.

    I write my price on the back of my business card as i hand in to the mrs muffs of this world.

    Funny you should mention leyladii,whilst cutting the gob out of a 60 footer yesterday morning the 'water' from it was pouring out of my saw and onto the leg of my stihl trousers,it soaked through quickly,and last night i noticed my leg was all red.Going back to normal now,and have asked mrs oldwoodcutter to wash my hiflexes over easter.

    I may be getting old in the tooth,but ime going to catch the lowlife that keeps loading my cord up one day,and when i get hold of him, i think i can just about remember how to dish out a few internal injuries. Hope you get yours back.

    Yep,thats what ive been up to all day,my axe was my fathers and must be 100 years old but still splits it up. And for the twisty lumps i open them up with my 460 with the 18" bar on.

    Sorry to hear that mate,its no consolation i know but my son in law had his nearly new pride and joy ms250 grabbed out the back of his little van on wednesday at Terrington,and he is real careful about security.

    No she's not mate,because she works in same building as my daughter and she told her that the £150 boys are going to do the job.

    We all know that its very easy to go in with a low price when thats the only job you've had the opportunity to price all week. Much harder to give that potential client a price that you are going to make a good profit on after all your blood sweat and tears. I priced a massive eucy sunday morning overhanging 2 other pristine gardens and a summerhouse with every last inch of it lowered and dragged through a 3ft gate at £600.She nearly fell over. When i asked her whats the cheapest quote she's had so far she said £150.

    You wont go far wrong with a 460, an 18" bar throws the chips about 4 yards behind you, and a 25" for those big lumps.
  17. oldwoodcutter
    That looks like a good job to cut your teeth on,and a nice tidy up. When you've packed up your tools and gone thats what is so important,not the blood sweat and tears,but the 'finish' the customer is left with.

    Couple of years ago,my mate and i were driving to a clay shoot at swanton morley. We both happened to look into a field that had a maize pheasant cover strip down one side and saw a black cat similar in size to a large greyhound but definately a cat with a long tail about 50 yards away. Of course everyone asked if we'd been on the drink when we tried to explain our sighting at the shoot.

    Work of the highest order again Tommy,thanks for posting.
  20. oldwoodcutter
    I dont like to start much before 9 on a sunday,especially if theres houses all around.
  21. oldwoodcutter
    Well i was brought up a christian way back when,i go to church occasionly like harvest festival and chrismas. When things could have gone very bad i'll admit ive sent a prayer up under my breath and everything turned out for the good. More than that i dont know.
