  1. they are fast growing, fast dying and fast burning..
  2. stand ladder between trees? or did you have to do it the hard way?
  3. need to cut them stubs down about 3ft if poss, then walk on them and work at decent height.. makes a massive difference, especially if its one you do every year,
  4. about 2mths after leafdrop, well into dormancy period or it will bleed forever, they tend not to need much pruning just deadwooding. nice fruit though..
  5. too tired for all this tonight, took 3 attempts to find bbc4, nite all.
  6. 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..
  7. well of course, how silly of me, you send gloria up the tree.. axe in teeth, did i mention i had to dig all the chip out the hard way too? trying to get into shape for summer..
  8. wow can gloria do aerial rescue as well?
  9. 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..
  10. had a bulldog in customers garden that was humping the lady customers leg all day, was well funny when we left stump 9inch high and the dog walked over n started humping that instead..
  11. 5ton of leylandii chipped in two days, im nackered and stinky, oh well off to do a quote.. oh and ripped a right hole in the ass of my hi-flexes, nice n breezy
  12. 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.
  13. haha no of course not, it obviously goes back to the yard where it is baled and stored (up to 1000tonnes)
  14. found a pair o boxers in the passenger footwell today:blushing: while looking for my gloves, thankfully they were mine and clean, must have fallen out of my kitbag last wknd, never thought of using them for holding together loose crotches though..
  15. ok the real answer is stihl saw with a husky scabbard..
  16. whichever is your nearest dealer.. of course mine is stihl..
  17. 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..
  18. great for pizza ovens when cooking a tray of pork..mmm
  19. I was going to have a bash at skydiving, better hurry up or there will be a coronet or two near every landing..
