(as i said go easy, i'm a beginner) Also spotted all these brackets on a big beech! have plenty more pics but they take ages to upload!! Plenty of ouzzing and the brackets are all around the base of the tree.

I'll get a few books (can anyone reccomend any? both tree health and fungus ident) and come at least half armed with geusses as to what they are next time lol cheers chris
  13. thats what i wanted to hear
  14. my 064av appears to have a fresh piston and cylinder on aswell before you think its old and tired oregon 36" bars look cheap but thats pushing it
  15. Afternoon all, Just wondering if the 064av can handle a 30" bar? Its good with the 25" just wondering on thoughts on the 30" or for a 30" bar would you go for a bigger saw? obvioursly 30" + you would go for a bigger saw cheers
  16. Is that one man cutting and one chipping? Also ringing the wood up and removal and to clean the site also? your quick workers
  17. customer wants to leave it as it is till the phone company can come and see it......
  18. http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/birtytree001.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/birtytree002.jpg http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t338/Swinny28/birtytree003.jpg
  19. WELL NEWS FLASH: It dropped the limb earlier this morning or late last night..... pics to come it took both lines with it, limb still attatched to the tree
  20. customer would most likely refuse to pay and say its only been half done, i appreciate what you say but come and tell this chap that
  21. this job? or a previous one??
  22. you can be competetive on price..... i never brag about my abilities..... the person i sub for can decide on the day just keep at it and do a better job than the others!!
  23. you know him then lol, he's a strange one i must admit....... not keen on working for him but work is work....... have you been asked to look or just know him?
  24. not really my client but i've been asked to do the job..... the client isn't too keen on parting with brass if you get me..... like you say.... if it shed a limb a while back it wanted attention..... it would have probabilly been cleared up and then tree left as it is....
