go round and lean on them.. i had one guy who took the mickey, went round second time at agreed time to collect money to be told he was in bed and had no money, had to tell his missus that on non-payment this time i would be taking goods to the value of the debt from his possession, needless to say he immediately appeared with the money (after borrowing it from a neighbour). if they dont want to /cant pay they shouldnt have been stupid enough to ask for work doing..

winch? you mean you spent loads of money on something that does a similar job to a tow bar? logs dragged,stumps pulled etc can all be done with towbar..

haha only joking i'd love to get a winch but then i'd actually be touching the car in front..

couple from last weekend..

you pay your own bills? i get the wife to do all that.. no idea what stuff costs

to cut smaller trees or firewood and have fun doing it i use 460(with bigger exhaust) with 16inch bar,

eat it quick before it escapes..

hahahaha reminds me of a time working on a steep banking covered in waisthigh brash, climber dropped a chunk onto a bush with a nest in right next to me.. nearly broke my neck diving over the brash trying to get down hill as fast as poss.. he was laughing his head off trying to get camera out

the headrests are tough in that beast..

no idea of title but one of them scary disease films where it spreads fast uncontrollably, guy walks into store scared disease will get him, starts saw and using pushing chain on full revs cuts through his own neck really fast.. blink and you will miss it, i think about it all the time.. looks so easy, better than holding up traffic on motorway deciding wether you should jump or not. oh im not suicidal ...yet haha

not had one snap yet but chain came off bar once, mashed chaincatcher and wrapped round my right hand, put a good hole in my glove and made me bleed my own blood, haha only a scratch but put new chain catcher on. was 25inch bar on 460

looks like deans yard is closest..

tracing wires lastweek meant removing the dash, been driving with lots of legroom this week:thumbup1:.. (its a bit cleaner now - pic was just after removal)

could have told me earlier dean, was working in tingley today, took 3hrs to get home because m62 was closed/backed up..

Cheers lads, I've written those down

 

 

 

 

you can write? haha:thumbup:

camera and spare batteries, just in case. oh and lucozade sport.. one day i'll start carrying a coat but i'd have to buy one first..

can use mine if you want HD4 area. Ed.

where are you based? job based? if its round yorkshire i have a magic problem solving ex-bt timeserved guy who can extend them along ground for duration of job, then re-position properly and test to make sure all is well, comes in handy for jobs where wires are problems etc.. Ed.

last pic, post 49, armchair arborist, That is one of the nicest Coprinus atremantarius shots ive ever seen, corking shot.

 

Loving the gleophylum too!

thanks Tony, its one of my fave pics, wouldnt believe i have a cheapo £50 7mpix cam and dont know anything about shooting prostylee..

dont prune in dormant season as sap cannot seal wounds to infection. now should be ok:thumbup1:

ordered a scots pine, im gunna wildplant it across the valley where i can watch it grow from my sofa..

its extremely lightweight ed!

 

its wedged on the wheelarches and for the tilt its got a couple of pieces of wood underneath so it will allow the lid to open and sit against the cab without needing to be held up.

 

ive got another one of those chests lying around, its 55" wide 20" tall and 24" deep

but how much is it? straight swopsie for an executive chair maybe?

keep yr toes from pushing against the stem while cutting/reaching round or they can 'cam out' of the spikehole leading to a slip, have fun.. Ed.

flat file on the two angles, dont file the largest flat face (back), spike angle gauges are available if you struggle, watch your rope with sharp ones though..

hicap and 10x6 ifor for me, had a fun delivery few weeks ago(1 load carried into cellar), could park close to house so i thought i was onto a winner, carried the whole load in large washingbasket size buckets up house steps, along passageway, down spiral staircase, through two doorways and into woodstore next to fire. got a good tip though, and the guy ordered another load when he saw the firewood.. yay

not great firewood elder, burns fast and smokey, apologies to bob slade, it would appear i just called you an office puff..
