  1. Been asked to give this Ash a hard reduction, as its limiting light on the seating area to the pub. How far back can i take it? Any input helpful
  2. Ive just had a client that he live in a conservation area and I'm 90% sure most of the Oaks have Tpo's on them. He wanted a price to take an oak down or prune it. I told him he needed to permission, he replied if it doesn't have anything on it, they might put something on it so i think we should just go ahead with the work, during the day when the nabours are out and as long as i use a hand saw no one will hear. I then mentioned how hefty the fine could be and it soon changed his mind to getting in contact with the council. Otherwise i think ild be walking
  3. My springer finds a place to sit while I'm up the tree, she waits there till she see's me back on the ground, never seen her any were near the tree I'm in.
  4. o, when it took 4-6 weeks, were you trying to do little things or being good and doing nothing at all?
  5. Went into hospital today to get my elbow looked at, as i had a car crash a few years ago and have had a growing bump on my elbow. Mentioned also the pins and needles in my hand and weakness. Found out that the bump was glass and bone growing round it. That i have broken the radius bone in my forearm at some point, all mended now but never knew that. My left elbow had had a split through it from when i broke my humerus bone, which i was never told. And finally that it was carpal tunnel in my right hand, So have got a 2 in 1 combo local op for the elbow and nerve. Dr reckons 2-3 weeks off work? does this sound about right? Not to bad for a 22 year old i think
  6. how do you delete a post, have got his number back now
  7. Seem to have lost David sawnders and Greg Jacksons (Tree officers) numbers. need to call them to ask about some trees in lindfield (west sussex) Has any one got it handy?
  8. Went down to business partners parents this weekend. They were sorting out getting rid of all the brush, so 6 40ft conifers, 2 pollarded willows. Pruned apple tree and 1 40ft maple. His parents have now asked us to chip the lot. Pile looks massive now, as it hasn't been getting chipped as we go along
  9. Got it, tidy lil fella £250, how'd that sound, also picked up a Echo PPT-265ES 2-Stroke Telescopic petrol Pole Pruner today from the shop. Hopfully will make the weekends work in Chichester easier

  12. Now i think there us a model number mistake as can't seem to find it, but a friend of mine is selling one and was wondering if there any good. Im usually a still man but after having my stihl 341 got stolen I'm still looking for something to fill the gap. Supposedly 20" heated handle just serviced
  13. If you can fell it ild be under that, ild more than likely dismantle it and take away for that price
  14. Who out there still has enough work to fill at least one one of the days over the weekend if not both. Mine this winter has been pretty good, since christmas have had 1 day off and next day is the 29th. Has been quite nice, about to move house next month and needed the money
  15. Getting there, ild say we have about 6 weeks left at the current rate
  16. Agree 414 doesn't have much space, we got rid of it last year for the 434 and has much more space in the cab for the dog.

  18. Loving mine now, walking up a branch then jumping across to a higher branch has improvement the speed i move around the canopy but, still struggling with acending beside the trunk, What method do you use, as when on a prussik i just hip thrust but now on the spiderjack i brute strength pull my way up, but i can't help to think there must be an easier way?
