  1. Hi Chippan

    I dont know if this will help but iam tree surgeon starting up on my own but also sell logs in winter. I do it small scale using a spliting maul like a thick headed axe and brought the net bags from a company called nets, net bags, log nets, net sacks, log bags, kindling bags, kindling nets, wood bags, firewood nets, wood nets, wood sacks, carrot nets, carrot bags, onion sacks, onion bags, pallet nets, shell fish, bags, mesh bags, mesh sacks, mono filament you can get theses bags by the thousand and any other quantity from what i remember about 8p per bag, i sell mainly to domestic customers at £2.50 a dry split hardwood bag and £2 soft wood, I would contact fireplace show rooms and petrol stations if going into it larger scale, forgot to say do mininum delivery 10 bags, I wouldnt get a big saw just a good reliable mediun range saw something like the husq 262xp. Anyway hope this helps

  4. Hi all have available a number of fields on key road junctions i can use for advertising, does anyone else do this and if so what size boards did you use and what was the rough price of these and feedback from then, and any pictures would be great for inspiration cheers

    Cold feet

    My brother had same went to doctor last week and was told to get silver socks apparently they have a small percentage of silver in cost about £9. and he now swears by then, if you have look on goolgle they should be there, his feet would go blue before hand.
  13. You could also use tree specialists
  14. If you have a look on Mobile phones with great free gifts including xBox, PS3, iPods, laptops and other goods with cashback on most deals, from Beepy. they have some brilliant deals i went for a samsung b2700 supposed to bounce but havent tested from height yet. Their are loads of good deals. i went with 3 contract iam in lancashire and get great coverage.
  15. When i had this problem i offered then their chip and waste back free of charge on their drive way, and suprise surprise they remembered the quote i gave them but I learnt lesson.
  16. or could try shorrocks have seen trackedchippers ther not sure if they rent junction 27 m6 i think
  17. Balmers in Burnley rent chippers bit pricey though
  18. stay well away from 4x4play this man will rip you off i have contacted DVLA and they informed me to contact local durham police, as he is selling dangerous vechicles with worthless mots, i brought 4x4 off him with new mot, when checked there were numerous faults and costly problems, stay well clear be warned
  19. its your choice as long as decidous and you need to group then by genus etc.
  20. second year is leaf collection so get started early get to arboretum and dry then out i think it was 40 in all, also your online weekly tests your idents etc ithink you get 10 mins etc but there is no problem with taken 15-20min i did by accident on one and was told not to worry and found alot of people were doing it weekly as a matter of course
  21. no they allow you to draw on a1 by hand but if you have cad your allowed to use it, i ended up buying scale rulers and doing by hand harder than i thought, and after about 8 hours still looked like my four year old had done it
  22. Oh watch your 3rd year you have to do scale drawings, or if you know someone with autocad start to get reallyfriendly with then now, cheating more of helping hand
  23. Iam in my third year got to little ones and one due within the month, the course has been brilliant, previously hadnt studied for well over 10 years, so found it hard at first, but soon got into the swing, the tutors are very good, there have been a couple of problems with certain subject areas but myerscough have sorted then out. you will be able to find time for it, i ended up getting a laptop to work from bed in the evenings but hopefully will be worth it. i would say 100% go for it and good luck someone could set up forum on here to help out students as would be useful to share ideas and get help from all in the know
  24. I have a old 130 double cab, was recomended clutch claw as security device and will be fitting fuel switch. picked up clutch claw on ebay half price. I spent a lot of time effort doing her up and would be gutted if nicked. keep felling lever by front door (best sercurity device).
