Enrieb, I'd still be typing that if my typing finger wasn't sore and I had given up. A+ assignment and A+ for debate/ reasoning. I Have yet to watch glamourised climbing.

It could also be a graft failure but very unlikely, so bear it in mind but don't fret about it. As treecreeper says rotten roots are hard to determine, especially if the tree looks sound all the way to the floor. On here are numerous posts about sudden failure. One in the last year was about the poplar in London that suddenly went in the daytime. Realistically its nature and things decay, its part of life. Trees also shed large limbs when they are stressed due to drought. This is documented well at Kew gardens and they proactively take such limbs off before it occurs. Personally, I'd just do the obviously potentially dangerous that needs doing. Enjoy the woods and put tents etc out of reach of tree failure distances.It is very rare a tree fails on to people, when you think we are in proximity of them often.

Happy teamwork, everyone pulling their weight. It would take us weeks to find and train such a team. Good find

Root plate rot, I dont know the specifics. It could be a tree that was once felled and regenerated a new trunk and subsequently is only rooted on one side and undermined by dead stump at the other. The local scout wood to me is the same and hardly has a decent mature tree due to this,

When sweeping or raking on your own. Stand with a heel in two corners of a dumpy bag or other. With feet apart to keep the flat bit at the bottom tight, then rake/sweep between legs into bag.

I recognize the tractor as well. Its an former eastern bloc make, is the engine air cooled ? Nice none drag log mover as well

Aye he's like a terrier when he gets set about something. Stihl customer service desk staff have probably had to take sick leave due to a persistant caller. Cheaper to change policy than pay many staff sick leave. I received a spaldings catalogue this week. It says please ring us for any stihl parts etc and they list several items in full photo glory. They do online sales and Ive never met anyone from that company.

Environmental protection agency? The instigator of those non tamper carb screw caps. PAH! PARTY POOPERS.

1st one looks as though its for domestic users on corded saws, takes the guesswork out of the tensioning for weekenders.

Had a little play on my recently spuderized 346xp today, albeit with a brand new 13inch bar and chain with 8 pin sprocket rim. It now runs with ease and speed beyond its previous performance. I have to agree on the reduced fatigue factor with porting. The only question in my mind whilst using it was, it would cost virtually nothing for the manufacturers to incoperate porting so why don't they? Emissions and sound levels?? Is all I could come up with.

Keeps occuring on nursery stock, I hav'nt seen it on sycamore, but have on norway maple, apples, beech, ash and several others. Kent James, is like cloning.

Not really overloaded, just badly loaded with poor lane discipline. A kiwi having a back yard tidy I think.

Yes cherry, drawn up long and narrow due to competition for light.

Fair enough point as KJ says as well. Caravans can be a pain on the roads, I suppose a portion are run like this by numpties with no savvy, but on the other hand Iv'e seen many others in driveways and on storage sites with wheels taken off for security(which anybody with any numption could test before fixing the wheels on) and other fastidious preparations taking place before "The big Weekend" I suppose these regulations like most will effect everyone, due to the those that create risk.

Good read, I had an accident in 2002 with "a poorly matched combination" A land rover 90 and a 16ft ifor ifor williams. The trailer had a few broken leaf springs in a set. I was only doing 40mph. Whilst every test would of picked up this problem how long would the danger of been there? The company went to court and got fined because it had no maintainance plan in place with appropriate records to verify. I got away with it as I was not the regular driver and was only driving it home that night. Even with that experience, I don't think testing will make much difference, I reckon the problem is we used to have the plod dealing with all traffic situations, now we have the self funding vosa, police hang back and are no longer competent at being confident in handling agricultural vehicles flaunting basic regulations and the complexity on a par with quantum mathematics required with dealing with their interpretation of heavier vehicles and trailer combinations. This time Im with the caravan club, lets face it, they drive to camp site and drive back now and then. How many miles do caravans actually do. They probably keep there tyres until they perish or get scrapped! They probably deserve an exemption anyway as they wrap them up and treat them like a family member!

If you Mill, I vouch for it. Also for firewood/General use even. It takes the error out of the chain when used correctly. Takes longer for me than a hand file. But if you do it when everything needs trueing, excellent bit of kit. Im not affiliated with Chainsawbars. But have been a happy customer. several threads have covered various opinions on this. Try Granberg and file perhaps in search tab.

I think they will but not thrive. Im in NZ at the moment and have seen them on the wet west coast of the south island and possibly on the otago penisula , right at the bottom where they get frost and snow, but they are more compact, later flowering and not as prolific with their flowering. Try them in france Ty. I think Chilterns seeds do them. I will have a look for retail packets if you want. Rata is tougher but similar. The picture is a flowering pohutakawa at Pahia on the sea front Bay of islands.

I would go with a cherry, maybe an asian type. Distinctive horizontal markings. Cherries peel horizontally, also are the spots horizontal?

Never mind lego have released a poor arbs version for £17.99 Logging Truck | LEGO Shop

If so far through the job finish it cut your losses. If only just started or not started. Let them know you cannot work with them, then leave. They will likely be used to it. Lifes too short for the extra hassle. Sometimes you can pscychologically outwit and put them in their place and restore a working relationship. Stand back and look at the situation calculatedly

Jeep won but its all the insurance hassle etc thats to follow:thumbdown:

Perhaps not the place to post this, but where did Frank the starter of this thread go? He hasnt been on since Feb 2012!!

No I wasn't making a judgement on the status of the job in this thread, but rather generalising on what previous posts I'd read about rush/rescue jobs. I wouldn't want to stir comment on someones work as we are not allowed to in a insulting way on this forum. We need to get on nicely. But like the OP. I have left things unfinished and not as safe as I liked due to circumstances. The positive is that someone is out there for the customer when you would struggle to get anybody of any trade. I remember the guage blowing off our heating oiltank one christmas eve and the fuel company wouldnt come out until the new year:thumbdown: Peace out:001_smile:

Reading past posts on emergency jobs. You go in make safe as needed and either go back later or someone else finishes. Considering the season customer is fortunate to of had quickish service. A high proportional of the working population will not be in a fit state to drive never mind work.
