  1. I still have your carving on my kitchen window sill. A beautiful peice of art
  2. You serve horderves and drinks for hen parties and other classy female orientated parties. Usually wearing a bow tie
  3. Butlers in the buff Put that arb sculpted body to good work at the weekend
  4. We have a tw190 which is getting tired. I was ready to slap down 17k on a brand spanker 190 then to complicate decisions this tw230 came along which I've been told is comparable with a 190 but lighter so does't take two blokes to move. Then to complicate things more once I'm considering the 230 the tw man at apf tells me there's a new 190 on route. Tough decisions as I hope that a new machine will see me through the next 8 odd years and I hope to be doing something else by then
  5. Yes You can buy a seal kit which comes with instructions It's easy to do but fidderly
  6. Ah thanks I think Usually I always aim to exceed expectations. I think that leaving a mess is a massive sin. You can be polite do amazing tree work but leave a mess and if the customers out sweeping and picking chogs out there hedge for weeks after your name shall be forever cursed. I never really take a haggle because I think it implies that you were overcharging in the first place. However if someone says can you do a job for say less, well of course you can. You have to do less and spend less time or costs. If asked I would usually say yes but we would do the job this way ie you keep the chips the logs we just do the job and you sweep. To be honest we do little domestic work where petty haggling is. Some of commercial clients bid us up as they want us to do well (and usually there just passing on costs plus there cost) What I ment in my comment is if your screwed on price your less inclined to go the extra mile I hope that restores your faith in me
  7. When some one haggles me down I feel inclined to give them there monies worth and do a half arsed job. Usually leave a but if mess and deffinatly no free extras, which I'm usually happy to do You'll always get what you pay for
  8. I'll be in there at the weekend as my farther in law is a stones throw from it
  9. The pheasant, stannersburn is a nice pub with a good beer but refuses to serve chips with your steak
  10. I'm up in kielder a lot and there's not a lot of great eateries that way.
  11. My BFGS on my pickup have outlasted 2 sets of coopers on my oldmans car and still have loads of meat on them Get what you pay for
  12. Get a old set of rims and swap as needed I'm just looking on bay Not a as cheap as I thought
  13. What size did you put on?
  14. Depends on what car they have on the drive Do they make good coffee Fit daughter All important factors
  15. Long reach excavator with stump grinder attachment. We do a lot of bridges for network rail but usually they dig them out during demolition
  16. Does it come in a frame?
  17. Cheers ray,
  18. Crisp packet and cable tie is cheap and easy fix
  19. The big kwr komtech chipper that was on display we had I last Saturday. It wern't cheap but if we had hand chipped it all then it would have taken us a week + instead we felled heaped with 360 and chipped into grain trailer. So actually was really cheap as we did 200 odd trees with out breaking a sweat
  20. There's some lovely trees in that wood. I worked doing forestry there years ago haloing the veterans
  21. There's a green waste site at Lowick costs 20£ a trannie load Called materials change
  22. Where are you based, be worth mentioning as someone on here might want to snap you up
  23. If that's your plan that might be why he's not so keen, if I invested time into someone it would be for staff not to create the competition
  24. I'd love to have staff who are keen to climb, We had a apprentice once I got him climbing on his first day to see if he had a head for it, and when ever we had a easy day I'd let him have climb once I had a line in. The apprenticeship never worked out but if I ever took on staff again it would be with a view to take some of the climbing work of me There's a shortage of decent keen staff so I'm sure ringing around you'll find someone who will give you the chance
  25. That's cheap my digger costs 200 a year at only 3rd party and I bet I've done 5 miles in it this year on the read
