Spot on:thumbup: Its BT Openreach which are a seperate division to the main BT but still are BT Openreach providers of fair and equal access to the network for CPs

:001_tt2:Buying time? NO:lol: Im sure the AC scheme will develop and diversify to meet all size company/climber needs and more and more of the cowboys will have to hang up their spurs.

Yeah, i took out the neigbours line so nout to pay. Their quite happy to tell you what you can and can't get away with over the phone. Quality customer care:thumbup:

Now you two are going back and forth so much im lost! BUT Theres only one way to find out? FIGHT.:lol:

Nope, just wiped one out last week. If you call the faults line they will send you one out or at least tell you what i have. Thought as i'd took it out id find out what i could get away with in the future.

Ok BT lines now i know a fair bit on these bad boys. Right if you cut the branch that takes down the line that £127.99 for the line to be repaired plus a £40.00 call out fee. If the home owners tree takes down the line they have to pay the above fee. If its next doors tree that takes your line down BT fix it for free. If its outside your boundary where the line is 'cut' BT fix it for free. Wear and tear from rubbing branches BT fix for free. Hope this helps.

Sounds good to me:thumbup:

Rob are they using a mini mill in the second set? hmm makes me want one now.

I undersatnd it as a 2-1 pulley system too. 2 pulleys so line going to the hitch doesn't count. Line 1 heads from the isc block to the pulley and the return rope is only used for tension. So 2-1?

Could do, but i think a scheme like this that could then lead to freelances establishing a bigger company that would then strive to be a AAAC? If not they may just go down the ISA route and not even bother considering the AAAC??

But not even close to how heavy the blue husqvana trousers are:thumbup1:

Talking about a group of us. I think it was said earlier but its a good idea IMO that their could be an Approved Arborist scheme for freelance climbers? If someone who had said thing sent me a CV asking for a odd days work i would have no hesitation on taking them on as they in my eyes have been regulated by a body that i respect to be of a high standard.

I knew santa had a real job! Do you know what camera was being used? I've recently been thinking about timelaspe filming myslef. Great Video.

Stretch Airs of mine are nearly 2yrs old with a few minor patches from stubs catching them. Buy far best one ive purchased!

No good response:thumbup: The self regulating thing is a great idea but how can it be enforced? I understand that their are cowboys in every trade more so in some than others. I have a company working around my way which happily top trees leave stubs and charge a fortune. The clients always seem to be happy too (being the tree warden i try to inform them whats been done is bad). How could we regulate these type of guys? IMO there are some members of the public who check to see if you do a good job (refrences, website) or are a member of any associ's. But a vast majority see a tree as a thing that takes their light. Also these ones see a hedge and a tree as the same kind of thing 'oh i can top my hedge to get more light why not the tree??' It would be nice to rasie public awareness. Even at the village fate later this year im having a stall for my company and im putting a board of photos of good tree work and bad cowboys work.

My question would be the trees are TPO'd and a fixed driveway would require planning permission. Who let them put a drive within a RPA without doing a root inspection? Also am i right in thinking full granted planning permission would over rule the TPO anyway??

All parts of the tree are poisonous: roots, bark, wood, leaves, flower-buds, petals, and seedpods. The harmful part of the plant is the seedpods. It contains cytisine, a quinolizidine alkaloid with effects very similar to nicotine. But you'll only get i'll if you eat any part of it so keep the sheep and horses clear.

It does, army base 'Aldershot'

Wraptor? I thought it was an outdoors lapdancing club:blushing::blushing:

I'll bring mine too and post them on here. If i can't be arsed to compete then maybe tony will let me hang around the tree top getting some shots????

I call it character building. Spot on Hama we all get stick from time to time. Its not ment to bash people down. Just help them along. I think from reading the comments he will get better by taking onboard peoples comments.

Trevor worked in Germany for a few years.

Trevor Reynolds, A 30+ year experienced Arborist, Is 50 years old. Good old Tervor. Worked with him for a bit before he moved to teaching at easton college. IMO fair play for stepping up and getting stuck in on a fell. When i was training some people just stood back and watched. You are still learing so your not going to be perfect and im sure some of us on here have made some cuts like that at one time or the other including moi. Have you tried asking tree firms near you if you could tag along for free of course and learn by watching in return for you doing some chipping?
