Run mine with a 18" bar and slip a 25" on for the bigger work. Hot knife and butter.

Hi Dom,no mate,i beleave the estate have there own tree men,they've also got a firewood selling dept. Ime working closer to the high tower and windmills side.

Had planned to sort out a eucy at Pickenham,still going and will weigh the job up when i get there.Ime not going to get a wet shirt over it though,if too bad will come back before i start.

Years ago a big estate next to me let a day to a party of germans,i was there as a loader and at the begining of 1 drive the head keeper said sternly that there was a special white pheasant in the wood and on no account was it to be shot. Yes,the first bird out was that one,and they bottled it. Happy days.

I had a nightmare about the grim reaper, he and i were cutting up carrots. I know i was dicing with death.

My young draggers and lifters always seem to be fiddling with papers and bacca and lighters,coughing and spitting,no wonder their stamina has gone by lunchtime breathing all that in. I prefer the lovely fresh air anytime.

On the high hedge reductions its the blinking brambles or honeysuckle that seems to snag every bit as you try to free the lumps off.theres always 1 strand holding everything up.Still,as said,pays the bills.

Lummy me,I dont think i'll be giving him a hand on a sunday morning.

Not being exactly snowed under with tree work,a young friend has had a side line supplying his local trendy pub/resteuront with 12 fresh squirrels a week.However the food standards agency have stuck their oar into the chefs creation and stipulated that each squirrel dish on the table must bear the warning 'may contain nuts'

Work of the highest order again Tommy,thanks for sharing.

I hope you get your tools back and they throw the book at them. Ime at an age when i have to get up in the middle of the night,and then i use the opportunity for a quick shufty out the window to see if i can see or hear anything out in the yard.its difficult not to get paranoid as wakarb has said.

I hope you get him Dean.My cord is stacked on a concrete pad 1/2 a mile down a gated single track least a mile from the nearest house.Theres only one way in and one way out but still they blinkin nick it. As its a dead end,if caught they cant drive out,they must realise they'd be trapped but still dare do it. These rats are the 2 legged variety that only come out at night,it'll be a long time before they load up again if i catch them.

I dont think we've got one,but i have noticed that the mats get thrown upside down into the yard from time to time,then get taken back inside again sometime later.

Being with our grandchildren when they unwrapped their presents.

I was offered 8 reindeer legs for £40 the other day,do you think thats too dear?

You could make contact with dereham firewood on the old A47 between Wendling and Scarning,he's got a yard stacked up that would keep east anglia going for about 5 years. 01362 687018 Hope this helps.

Hang on a minute mate,if thats the one in ashwicken i priced that on tuesday.

Rottweiller **** all over a 'lawn' that although the customer had said he'd clear before i came,he didn't,plus another months worth in the meantime.Then mixing up jeyes fluid in the dark in my yard before tea to disinfect truck mats,pedals,boots and trousers.One job i dont need.

Irish working mens club went on a mystery tour,they had a sweepstake to guess where they were going. The driver won £68.

I wish i was 51 again:001_smile:

Yep,mrs oldwoodcutter and i looking after our 6 month old granddaughter til monday morning.An angel on earth.

Blimey its a small world,up til last year ide never heard of Beowolf Mining,i dropped 39 big leylandis and cleared them away plus a few other trees in the grounds of a realy friendly couple in stoke ferry,tea and cake all week etc.Found out on the last day that he's a director of Beowulf. If ide known before hand i would have put a nought on the end of my quote.

For the first time in yonks had a customer turn on me last month.A load of big connies down to ground level and pop reduced by 1/3.At the pricing stage ide given her 1 to leave everything for them to burn up,and another to clear all away.She chose 2nd,all well and good you may think. After 2 days of chipping and carting away i was chucking lengths of pop onto trailer when she says dont bother taking that,our neighbors got a woodburner,he'll clear all that up,which he did when we'd gone. Finished during 3rd day when ide arranged payment,then mr miggins appears for first time and says she has chequebook and has gone out,come back saturdy at 12. Went round and mr chummy is now mr aggresive asking me what were the 2 prices that ide offered,when i told him he said 'but you didnt clear it all away,you didn't take the poplar.Then it dawned on me what he was up to. He threatened to take it further but i kept calm and said he should have charged his neighbor not me.Before he burst a blood vessel i offered him £20 discount which he accepted,turned into mr chummy again,paid up, shook hands and went inside.Happy days.

i get woken several times some nights by the sound of a big old saw that refuses to catch,mrs oldwoodcutter could snore for england but a gentle elbow in her ribs and i can usually settle down again.

i had a pup once called leo,my slightly deaf mate called it neil til the day he died. [thats til the dog died,not my mate]
