Tried that, their don't seem to be any. There was some banners on ebay like with sign writing on that looked really thick and were massive.

Most polite and efficient way to chase late payment.

28 days bloody el...i give em 7 days then i badger them non stop! we turn up on time, do as we have quoted, sometimes above and beyond the quote, work really hard for our money so why should a domestic customer feel the need to retain payment for so long! its just how some people are. -
Walk away, i have no experience working around power lines we tried to get northern power grid to shut down some lines for us, cost me £30 in phone calls kept getting passed from pillar to post! in the end the customer said they decided to leave it for now Sometimes its better to just say its not something we are willing to do, theirs always another job and you cannot do everything

arb trolley ????? most efficient way of moving large timber
simonm replied to Charlie1988's topic in General chat
We hardly use ours! most garden gates are either too small or around tight turns, over gravel etc. It is good to use when you can get it in. -

As i suspected, not opposed to working a weekend if it makes it easier .

Some people are just morons m8, they don't care how good a job you do, most of it comes down to price! i always find kicking the living **** out of something makes me feel a lot better about the situation, as does driving past and seeing 3 gypo vans and men with bow saws on the job u just lost

Cool that has cleared that up, my m8 works on tree team for la, he recons they do tree work for schools for next to nawt..

We run a Carlton SP2010 i can get most places with it, it blasts stumps out like they are made of marsh mellow, Razor teeth are a ba@t*rd to sharpen, good machine. However them bandit sidewinder's ar next on my list as it pivots looks real easy compared to my carlton that is hard work when grinding.

Oh i always thought that you had to have a check done if you were on site unsupervised?
-
Looking at making our services available to local schools in the new year, have you worked on school premises before? am i right in thinking that the academy's are in charge of their own budget? also i assume they require a crb check before you set foot on site, does this need to be done on every site as it cannot be valid for a period of time

That yellow mog looks the dogs, how much does that cost????
-
Sweet.

As per title, what would your perfect set up be "machine wise" money no object but highly versatile...Mini skid steer 7.5t wagon tracked chipper 360 excavator with grab tractor with loader, winch & a grain trailer with removable roof for chip and or log

I smashed this old building & wall down when we moved house, got 18 van loads. That went down and managed to get scalpings from council @ £3 a ton to go on top :
-
Ah the times we have tried to put chip down to drive on, never works especially when its wet, van ends up ploughing 2 furrows
-
My groundsman is a plonker, i get on at him when he does stupid stuff "for safety's sake" we have our moments, but he does work hard, just not got much common sense. He reversed into draw bar on chipper today and smashed lights on back of van! i went mad for not using his mirrors, but he has gotta learn somewhere i wouldn't dream of making him pay for it, although he will be fixing it in the morning. Accidents happen big or small its just how the cookie crumbles, but its wrong to sack somebody because he dropped a bollock!

u got a number? I cannot find 1 off google!
-
I will give them a try, will they take the lot?
