    client went to move his 10plate ranger back up his gently sloping gravel driveway, didnt matter how gentle with revs/clutch he was, the wheels were spinning as he got slowly further away from where he wanted to be.. eventually he got a run up and made it before slamming the door in anger and watching as the landy did it backwards with a chipper in tow without any spin at all..

    hope it works for you, when i sold up my last business and went full time i was just hoping it would work out, its going ok now but i'm thinking i might need a new tent soon and am starting to panic a bit in case i cant afford, also i think the landowner will find me living in his wood one day..

    he sounds like an uneducated oaf, think like him, how would you kill a neighbours tree? nip into their garden and pour some oil based liquid or other harmful substance into the ground near the tree base, are there signs of ground disturbance? nearby vegetation suffering? a quick dig around in the soil might show up foul play. dont forget a lot of rowans are dying of a vascular disease at the moment, any photos?

    strong smell of melting plastic/rubber last week, i annoyed the woman by asking her 3times what was on fire in the kitchen (she has a history of cooking pizza with the foam base still under it), then noticed the black rings on the carpet as the underlay was burning.. oops

    shut your eyes and go for it.. erm i mean get some scrap bits of metal and weld them together till it looks right, i used body panels and tin snipped them into strips then welded them back together for practice, thicker stuff is easier to do so practice on thin stuff..
