My girlfriend is brilliant at music, has grade 7 in flute, has grades in a few other instruments. Is sorting some stuff out towards her masters. And is in her last placement in becoming a music teacher! Really proud of her ! Keep up the music and playing! its excellent to be able to play an instrument!

constructive input as usual

You sure....

landy

They're good till they get nicked Puts me off getting one when my friend got his pinched. That said.... they are very good Sorry to be of no help

Why do people always want stuff done on the cheap? but when you deal with them they want top wack? Why do ignorant people always slag off softwood? Why do gardeners take on treework then call you in, and think the tree surgeon is on a good do for the day? not realising how much equiptment/experiance/work and insurance goes into the job.... Someone i rent land off wants a tree removing and logging up.... he's going to come with me as "i want all the logs cutting at 90 degree's" so they can be split and not slide away. Offer a splitting service but wants doing for a months rent...... this is a 350-400 quid job though .... Why do people not like others making money? Profits not a dirty word is it! an why just earn a wage When/what time do you just say NO! im no pushover Or do you keep the peace... i'd rather say NO Sorry for the rant, any advice for the above? it may also help others in same/simialr predicament.

Excellent, you learn something new every day

i've a 200 back handle and wonder why i got it sometimes.... will probs keep it to see if i ever do any carving lol

couriers just been so made a brew, going to get changed and go and split some logs i think Could do with washing work vehicles also

460 it is then i've a 441 and a 064. I must say that i'm a stihl man, but i've been climbing for a guy on here and been using his husky 372xp and wow what a saw love it. Sorry for information totally useless for you lol

Why are you lot not working today and are on here ?? Person i usually subbie climb to said they'd ring monday and let me know what days this week they need me. rang and said wed thur fri. so left me scratching my head today. Really need to sort out getting told in way more advance from this company. Anyhow i've been to the bank, and am waiting for the courier to call to pick up my stump grinder wheel, as the multi tip one i ordered wasn't the same as mine so getting one made up off my old one. Alls not lost so whats your excuse??

does it really pull the 25" bar well though and not bog down? i've always used a 460 on a 20" and a 660 on a 25-36"

its not much but i'd empty it also weight on the back will play with the brake readings due to the load compensating valve

Been and ordered some new glasses up and theyre coming next weekend so chuffed

I'm on yale xtc 13mm 37m... will be trying something new when the time comes, and need a longer rope as the tree's seem to be all getting bigger

At least 120 a day

you boys must hit a lot of crap with your chains

I've done both arb and forestry. When i say forestry i mean, felling, brashing, cutting to size, stacking for each product. Planting programs, woodland thinning etc.... and yes, 8-10 tanks a day . it feels like a nice break when the saw runs out of fuel

Just some smaller firms you can't get in for the bigger firms, as some don't like new people lol + they want to give low rates. I get up your way a bit doing work at quarries for a firm, spraying etc and fencing

Anyone thought of putting something in writing, that if their saw blows up during work and its found to be fuel then the company has to have it repaired or replaced? or you could fill your can with fuel and oil and charge per litre used of each....

i've been offered a tenner in the past for the use of my361 for the day... really hard to get good rates here at the moment, lots of people climbing for not much money.

Can i ask what sort of day rate you'd do this for though? 5 ltr fuel mixed is about 9.00 what about a 24" chain... 30 ish quid if you wreck it..... wear on saw etc..... you've got to charge 150 a day to make it worth the above?

I agree with this, but not for 100 a day like firms offer around here

Evening all, Just wondering if many wear glasses at work? I wear glasses but not for work, but have decided after a well overdue eye test that i'm going to start using glasses more, it's silly not to. I'm not blind, can see ok, used to get headaches due to a lazy eye. So: No glasses..... No point in this option Glasses...... risk of coming off, what they like in the rain? Contact lenses..... waste of time, i'm always getting stuff in my eyes and rubbing them. Laser eye treatment.... ? What do you do or have done? Cheers Chris
