    tell them how much you expect it to cost at the start of the job, as well as giving them a weekly invoice for how much you have done that week, then you dont have to wait till end of job to get paid and can walk away at any time if they happen to have no money or pull a fast one..

    oi we had to cut em down too.. well climb them and reduce from 30ft to 10ft against direction of wind without breaking bt lines or dropping on road etc etc.. and not getting landy stuck on grassy sideslope (or rolling it) while looking out for nesting birds yawn..

    trying to think ahead and plan for unexpected meetings with scum i always expect i'd use the landy as a deadly weapon and hope it still drives away afterwards, or the felling axe in the footwell, sounds like a nasty little turn of events, confrontation is never nice.. best keep a lookout for them in near future.

    haha no of course not, it obviously goes back to the yard where it is baled and stored (up to 1000tonnes)

    some guy was concerned that it was dripping out of my landy, it was snowing which made it worse, so just looked really bad, then he wanted all the chip dropping at the top of a carpark, glad i didnt have to go back the day after as it was certain to have 'blue runs' down the snowy carpark..

    tractor doesnt look like it will lift that 1st log over trailer side, did you have to re-set the slings or did it swing into bull(log)bar?
