Reaction to conifers more like. One of my blokes used to get that. Try Piriton, or other anti-histamine

Just an example of the kind of things that clients had mentioned they were impressed with mate. Many of the estimates were for people who had requested them after seeing us working on there neighbours trees etc. Knowing the kind of people they are, i'm not sure they would have come over and asked for a card, if the workers were covered in tatoos.
-
Personally, I agree with Mick. For tree work and such like it really doesn't matter what you look like to me. However, many potential employers will have in mind what image they are portraying to customers. When I was in tree work, many of my customers were older, and for want of a better word 'snobby'. Many of them were impressed with the quality of the paper the estimate came on and the shiny new equipment. Would they have been impressed with a worker with mant visible tatoos, probably not.

Pretty sure that aint supposed to happen mate. If that was ok we wouldn't bother with air filters. Think you've got some stripping down and cleaning to do.
-
Just what I was thinking, that could happen with many different hitches. Especially if you sit back into the harness quickly, after taking all weight off of it and allowing the hitch to become loose.

Hello mate, welcome aboard. Good luck with the Diploma and an exciting career:thumbup1:
-
Agree with you mate. As so many people are selling wood they have for free, its going to be bloody hard to compete, especially if you have to buy the timber. Again, over spending on equipment is just going to make matters worse.

Same here actually, I sold my car recently and waiting to get new one, so i'm running around in a VW POLO at the mo. Tell you what though, could get used to this cheap motoring. I sold my car unexpectedly so literally went out and bought the polo to get about, short term. Was the first car I found. Paid 1200 for the car, tax and insurance 300. £1500 quid all in:thumbup1: Prob still be worth what I paid when I sell it too:biggrin:

Its not the bike, its the way he's riding it. You can ride any bike sensibly or most proper bikes will lift the wheel in first, second and third anyway. It is a powerful bike though.
-
Cant see you in that mini mate. Look pretty daft towing the chipper:001_tt2:
-
Cool, just seemed to me that you had loads of kit, loads of experience, and weren't making any more than a bus driver. I completely see your point. you have the lifestyle you want, work when you want, and have lots of toys to play with. Cant argue with that:thumbup1:

If what you have developed works as I suspect then the other applications will be far more lucrative than the arb application. You obviously see a market for it as you have started the very expensive road to patent. Have the searches been done yet? Would be interested to know what they come up with, as I am aware of other surveying by digital photo products. I understand you feel the need to be secretive at this stage, but what exactly are you hoping to patent? I assume if you have applied already then its not a problem to talk about it.

Nice one mate:thumbup1: Does that mean you are happydavesmith today? I hadn't used a saw before my first college courses either. Nothing to it is there:laugh1: CS32 makes you realise how much 31 doesn't teach you though. I'd thoroughly recommend 32 before you try and climb with a saw. 38 and 39 are good, but 32 really gets you used to handling a saw.

Still dont get why you would need to use an impact driver for sleepers.My Dewalt cordless drills will put a Torx head 200mm screw straight through a sleeper and into another, countless times before I need to change the battery. Even the smallest 14.4v will do a good few.
-
Just a quick bit of info. I recently replaced my tired Stihl HS80 with a new HS81R. The difference in vibration is huge. Certainly wouldn't catch me using an old machine for a days hedge cutting now.
-
I dont get it, it looks like a scrap yard, what am I missing?
-
Amazing again. Glad I haven't got the skills to do that. There wouldn't be a tree left in the garden. I'd have felled them all and carved them.
-
Just got round to reading this thread, very interesting guys. Was curious why a thread about chucking a bit of mulch around the bottom of a tree would have 5000 views. Now I know.
-
Happy Birthday Dean. Sorry its late, i'm not a big weekend Arbtalker. Another year older, another year wiser. Hope I can still climb when i'm as old as you:001_tt2:
-
What Hama said. You will soon learn mate. On here we love our photos.
-
My dad had a little Bosch one which seemed pretty good for the money. Stihl ones look really good, but you pay for it.
-
I was refering to the rope that was a couple of inches away from the blokes axe in the vid mate.
-
Something tells me that it prob aint got a wire core in it either.
-
Sorry mate, that went completely over my head then i'm affraid. Ill shut up and go and annoy someone else:lol:
-
I used to have a tranny, was a pain in the backside:lol: Nothing quite like youe first set of wheels mate. Dont crash it, dont get caught speeding, and whatever you do dont lose your no claims discount, once you get some.
