I am very lucky. Mainly because we both have the same goals and my company is the best financial route. As most are I guess. She also wants to come on board more, doing gardening. She can use a saw and all the machinery. Not too bad at reversing too.
-
Missus wanted to go up the yard to do some carving. Luckiest has a shocking sense of direction so I convinced her it was enroute. 😂 Just working hard to save for a house really as no ones going to give me a load of money.

A quick 2m reduction on a horse chestnut this morning. Pulled the height below the limes so it gained a bit more protection.
-
Id imagine so to be honest. It's a long list I've got to get through but enjoying learning about how it runs and works.
-
Oh and the knackered bit of exhaust.
-
Hopefully this will resolve that issue. Tipping frame finished off on the floor. Just need to add some heavier box on the back and put it all on.
-
Looks like a beast!!! Bet your glad to have it on a conifer hedge, you know the ones that if you had a 6" chipper you'd cry snedding it out.
-
Crikey John, is that the one from the time lapse? Looks so much bigger that I thought. So I did the thing I try to avoid. Started a dismantle on a Friday.... Mainly used ripping cuts to be honest on the timber sections.
-
Paul, what size feed is that bad boy?
-
Edited it to make sense

One was broke. Indeed the springs are copies but expensive copies of which my budget can afford.
-
Noooooooooooooo *on knees, looking upwards in a classic Hollywood pose (probably in the rain)*
-
Indeed. A few swear words on some site because of it. But my logic is do it once and do it right. Buy the best I can afford for the project rather than cheaper copies.

I still tell my wife every time we go round a roundabout in Norwich which trees I planted on them. I still think she listens......
-
One more with the springs and anti roll bar.
-
Bits and bobs from today.
-
So today I ordered a new piece of exhaust. This one was pretty shot to be fair. Got some more metal today for the tipping frame on the Unimog.
-
Just been sorting the fuel tank out. Nothing of worth posting. Fingers crossed next week I'll need her to lift an oak stem over a hedge. Had a few delays because we cover a lot of commercial contracts so good money comes over days working on my Unimog. In all honestly I'd expected to have her completed by now. But thankfully I have other trucks to cover the overrun.
-
Sorting this beech out. Decided I didn't fancy climbing it and we rigged light and the minimum we could get away with. The stem before.
-
Nice picks 😉
-
Pulham st Mary, so not too far away to be honest. We're about 15 mins south of the stokes.
-
A little bit of highways work today.
-
Yeah I'd put a description on another thread. Basically we cut the toes off roughly so we didn't have to fire up the 880. Just a horrendous days job. Used the skid steer and transit to pull it over.
-
I know that technique well and can confirm it works 76% of the time, every time.
