    finally found the disc of photos i've been looking for ages for.. forgot the names of the new trees but theyre growing on the old growth stumps, was fascinated by them, there was loads like these but i'd only got 1 memorycard for the camera for the whole holiday, its just north of crescent city in northern california..

    if they are laid that badly and are thin.. why not pull em up, get a price from someone to re-lay after.. or build a cool bridge:thumbup1:

    yeh the perspex stuff is good, got one of my cab rear windows made out of it, also window at front of chipbox is 12mm perspex, really tough stuff, has to be good to have woodchip flying at it everyday, just wants a wipe after unloading chip and can see through it again.. helps having father in law working at a reservoir model testing place where scaled down tanks are made with huge sheets of the stuff, hmm theres an idea.. how about a perspex chipbox??

    always nice when they pass firsttime, usually take them in a month in advance but get free mot's for both landys for price of hedgetrim and willow pollarding. everyone happy:thumbup1:

    without turning this thread into a 'i've got less money than you' debate.. i really could do with a year of spending less and working 7day weeks, but the kombisystem is sooo nice and would do loads of hardwork and make so much money, SLAP..NO! no way, mustn't....spend.....money...
  15. armchairarborist
    yeh true, laddo keeps tellin me that, can't spend anything this year though... (spent too much last year) all that might change if i get another creditcard and go to apf show

  17. armchairarborist
    i've got a sumach stags horn or is it a rhus typhina? (told customer it was both) to prune on monday, already wasn't looking forward to it as last one we did left brown stains inside my tailgate.. had to laugh when it disappeared from the firewood pile, no doubt staining someones choppingblock, axe, wheelbarrow, woodstore and stove haha. dya think it'll make good woodstain though?
  18. armchairarborist
    thought i'd cut all the dead bits inside down about 3ft below final hedge height to give me something to stand on, worked a treat, gunna try it tomorrow too if i can..
  19. armchairarborist
    can i enter one of mine please? theres no shot of the part of this tree that went 2ft underground (about 6inch across) and didn't want to be pulled out by the landy, but there is some divot damage to feast upon, crashmats? pah.. sawdust and soil:thumbup1:

    leylandii reduction and trim, took longer than anticipated and nearly called for a mewp as stepladder was a bit short, couple of local residents stopped to say they thought we had done a good job, all i can see is the flicky bits that i should go back up for.. very boring, got another to do tomorrow as well..
  21. armchairarborist
    was told on nptc courses it can be on site in containers in shade etc away from workers, but at college doing foundation degree they told us its either in vehicle (mines in chipper hopper in builders bucket) or on lockable bund, of course i was probably half asleep and not listening at the time.. not sure where they got info from either.. so might be duff info,Ed:001_smile:
  22. armchairarborist
    got a 341 in december, its a good saw and seems capable but its always snatched up by laddo first cos its shiny so i cant say i've used it that much.
  23. armchairarborist
    think as long as its in the vehicle its ok, once on site its gotta be on a lockable bund or kept in vehicle, although we transport the fuel/oil cans etc in a builders trug bucket in case they ever leak, might be wrong though,
  24. armchairarborist
    started chaining the backend of mine to a heavyduty ground anchor everynight, really heavy chain n lock.. doesn't help you much but i sleep better knowing they have to make noise to nick it.. hope yours gets found mate, too many never turn up.....scum
  25. armchairarborist
    better than jumping out scaring the climber haha, once was sat up a scots pine having a breather..next thing a kestrel landed 3ft away along the same branch, i jumped and so did the bird
