  1. Never had that because never worked like that! If I'm booking stuff for within a week of looking at the job ill give a day there and then as can be reasonable certain of weather, what's already booked in etc if they give the go ahead. Two weeks onwards I say which week we'll aim for and ask if any days that week are good or bad to aim for and make a note and call a few days before I've got a spot or when have another job in the area that makes a day up if it's a small job
  2. It's the way to go. Doesn't make sense to book specific days for things when weather and breakdowns might mean it's the worst day to be there. Much better to give a week you'll aim to be there and ask if there are days that are better or worse to aim for but no promises
  3. This is a route I'm trying at the mo, trying to get Google reviews. With the check a trade etc some people say it's their main source of new customers others it doesn't work for so but of a minefield. I think it takes a few years for word of mouth to kick in enough to sustain you so it's all trial and error until then!
  4. Ticking over would prefer a bit busier though
  5. Think just the usual cs30 - 39 if you look at tree surgeons on there it says what they've been checked for as an indication
  6. Think they interview you check certs, insurance and phone some customers of yours to check you do a good job. Had them call me to verify an electrician had done some work for me but had never heard of him! Let us know how you get on as thinking about using them or similar as well

    I paid for it when had an android phone, and then again when got an iPhone! Should be covered whatever my next phone is!

    Tiny echo!

    Big statement! Mine is currently sitting in the delivery depot waiting to be put in a van. Hoping they decide to deliver today and not Tuesday like I suspect
  10. Shouldn't be a massive difference on the monthly but i'd do it. If you can get a decent tw18/100 used and cheap enough they're worth buying but they do like to block a lot!
  11. Good machines, I had one. But if buying new I'd advise pay a bit more and get the 125. Shouldn't make much difference to a finance payment
  12. Can't think how, the post saying its from f&a is directly before the one he quoted!

    Tiny echo!

    I'm properly looking forward to mine arriving hearing that!
  14. No one mention echo!

    Tiny echo!

    That's the main vid I was referring to, also some on YouTube that show it powering through wood, like this one

    Have them, or back it up yourself before you play with the settings. Or if you have time to spare at the moment why not try editing a new template from scratch and then you can do anything you want to your website

    Tiny echo!

    I've been exactly the same but watched some vids showing the echo being faster, the stats show bigger engine and less weight and also a 2 year warranty. Don't think there's a wrong choice but gather the stihl needs mods to keep up with the 2510 so all of those reasons swung it
  18. He said where it's from

    Elbows playing up today so just ordered one of these echos from skyland as always had good service from them 👍🏻 Shame it's bank holiday so won't get it till Tuesday!
  20. Open it up and see what's broken or stopping it moving?

    STIHL battery saw

    But then you'd need 20 foot jump leads to jump start the van from the chipper! 😂

    STIHL battery saw

    Not forgetting when the kids unplug the charger to charge the iPad instead and you lose a days work when you turn up with a flat battery. Think I'll stick with fueling a saw with petrol you can get anywhere until the technology improves a bit more
  23. Just a few roots left going next door left. The little £1500 machine does me proud when the bigger machines aren't available 👍🏻
  24. Yeah I bet you would with that machine! 3 hours grinding that one out with a 13hp machine.. Not so theraputic!
  25. It's a bit sparse at the moment, I'd get a gallery page on the go and more images and content on the home page. Looks good overall though
