  3. Thats me only just looking at this thread but that totally explains me sometimes i suppose i could try make it easier by not working for idiots that do not pay, that really bugs me, chasing and chasing money, yet if i don't do the work i worry about what will come in etc.... 1st year on my own at age 22

  8. well rang askham bryan today and enquired they told me about the foundation degree which is level 4/5 they said this would be ok to start on, they then told me £3000 for this year, £7000 for next year and probabilly total of £14000 all together, this is a part time course over 3 years!!!!! myrescough said they do the rfs online, of which it is fully booked and i would have to apply for next years, which is fair enough that was 460 + 60 exam fee, not bad..... this is only a level 2 qualification though...... or there is the isa certificate, what level does this give you or does it not work in levels? still none the wiser on which to go for..... deffinetly not askham bryan though!!!!!!!!
  9. Brilliant link
  10. Hi everyone, I apologise if this has been asked time and time again but i've trawled through pages on the training forum to no avail I am looking to find out what is the best course for a beginner in arb theory to go for? There is all sorts, rfs, fdsc, foundation degree, isa etc I live 30 miles from myrescough and 50 miles from askham bryan, it would be good to do a course one day a week, i am currently self employed so i can work around this, i have seen that the one day a week courses last for 3 years..... Online learning is also another possability, with the isa etc, not sure if you can still do the rfs online?? Anyhow, i'm just looking for some help and guidance on what would be best for me and financially aswell. If you can add any input it would be greatly appreciated Thank you Chris
  11. Spotted the study guide, its a cd..... i thought it would be a big fat book lol ahhh, there is a book and a cd or combination of both
  12. is this an ok course for a beginner in theory side of arb? also do you have a link to the study guide? there seems to be two isa websites.... which one is it? cheers
  13. why on earth didn't they just have them felled? or is it to leave a screen till they can afford to replant etc???
  14. You could possibly cut a foot off it and make a clock when i was last in scotland, i saw a lot of clocks made from timber for sale...... could use a part of it as a name plate for your house? carve words/numbers or use a soildering iron...... just a few suggestions
  15. what length is the art guide? looked on jonsies but doesn't say..... wonder if there is a different bend radius of the rope between the pulley on the art guide and the pinto. I take it both setups will allow a spliced eye or stitched eye rope to be used? if so they then need a retreival ball connecting for retreival? Sorry for all the questions just in an inquizative mood tonight lol
  16. so it then goes down to personal preference of the two systems for which one to get....?
  17. can the art rope guide be chokered to a stem?
  18. evidence of bats? whats this? Cheers
  19. Stihl ms 361
  20. piocs 3&4 is that a wood pecker hole/damage?
  21. what brackets were they and what sort of decay did you find in the base when you made that seat?? Also did you find any stones or iron bar/rubbish when cutting the trunk up ?
  22. Every inch of the circumference?
  23. Evening all, just wondering what the calculation is in which to age a tree..... looked on the internet and get different results Not just counting rings when the tree has been cut, the one where you measure circumference/diameter? at 1.5 metre above ground level..... WIll this alter due to how fast of a growth rate a species has? Cheers

    Heater light

    I have a 2000 35 - 150h Just curious as to what to check on it, as the heater plug light doesn't go out like it does on all the other timberwolfs i've used, is it a possibility that there may be a glow plug down etc??? i can hold it on heater for a while and it still doesn't go off..... Also when left in the run position (key) i can remove it and it still runs, should it be like this? cheers
