  1. Pics already taken,before and after we removed the failed stem
  2. Apparently one single garage roof has replaced recently with box profile sheet at a cost of 4.5-5K, so either the sheeting is the real deal or the customer had their leg lifted.
  3. Already thinking stupid price. Contract lift price of £1700 plus vat. Already 2, 1ft sq holes in roof where 1 stem came down last wk, already cleared off
  4. Have a job to price, removal of a storm damaged leyland cypress. No access tenements behind, garages in front 8ft walls to sides. BT pole with about 12 lines going through tree. The garages are about 6m front to back with a corrugated (asbestos?) roof with a slight fall. No real option of ziplining. Various options :- 1. Contract lift crane tree up and away in a few lifts process in car park in front of garages. Quickish but expensive. 2. Large cherrypicker. Cut small swing round drop bits in car park to process. Slower than crane prob 2 days. 3 . Board out asbestos roof . Do tree as normal. lower down to boards, wall across boarded roof, drop into car park and process . If we went with the boarding roof . What would be your preferred method. We normally board out with 3/4" 8x4 sheets of ply, would it be better to put anything under ply to cushion roof as not in best condition. We would need to board anyway in case anything dropped.
  5. Ok stand corrected on the feeding. Had heard that too about the internal reinforcement, but no pubs nearby
  6. Should be easier to feed through mechanical devices
  7. I thought telepathy was essential as well.
  8. Can I split into two posts then?
  9. Why let the facts get in the way of a good story. I can remember lads not doing overtime as they said all they would have earned as overtime would be taken off them as tax ffs
  10. We had a tracked TW230 on hire for a week as working away from home, so could drop at hirer at night to save it going missing. Impressed with it agile and gutsy, only design niggle we could see was on the infeed side, because it had a removable hopper, to allow this there is a 3" adaptor piece. The adaptor piece gives another change of profile to the infeed, IIRC there are 3or 4 changes of angles so a pain as they snap when feeding. When I looked at the road tow it did not have the adaptor as not needed, so much easier feeding.
  11. Highlight his username, above his avatar, and click message and send one to him. Or e-mail him his address is at the bottom of his post highlighted in blue.
  12. Try the gentleman in post above yours, unless its coated in veg oil.
  13. Have had a H2 panel connection rayburn and oil boiler for 10yrs, no regrets does the job. He is a pleasure to deal with.
  14. Were you referring to being bred there youself, or was this episode later in your life
  15. Steve, try and be gentle on us.

    Is that the same one as at bottom of tree swing about off of a small anchor point, get over 80ft and you want a much more substantial anchor point and they ain't there anymore. Its all in the mind
  17. My stein has lasted about 6yrs, now looking for a replacment
  18. Remember in the 90's a local ag rep, his company car was a granada he used to deliver machinery (5-6 furrow reversible ploughs etc) on tandem axle trailer and that was on electric brakes. Hhe said it was legal.
  19. On the clyde between langbank and portglasgow, you can see the posts of the old timber ponds where they stored the timber for the shipyards.
