you can't limit salaries It's the difference that drives driven people to try harder to be better- don't stop them doing this or we'll end up no one trying

Is that one guy with helper climbing and felling large trees- above 6 metres If so- that's pretty good

Actually- what the hell- the residents of the development will be wanting them out soon

sounds like the builders are going to use you to cover themselves- though your statement will require them to protect the trees which they haven't-

Be careful when burning posts make sure they aren't tanalised as this releases arsenic into your immediate environment and also it accumulates in the ash in the grate. Probably not a good thing but who knows for sure- arsenic is used as a cure for certain diseases so maybe this is not the correct advice:lol:

It's a nightmare- I too have just done it and it's best to ask your accountant. You will be paying him more now anyway what with audited accounts so best to keep him in the loop You run 2 accounts for a while but the new company buys everything from the old including creditors and debtors. I wish we had done this 12 months ago as I've just had a huge tax bill -

Actually no.. he didn't find any evidence We were just discussing what might happen and he had a tub of the stuff and explained how it worked. I just feel like giving it a go to see the difference when swept next year In truth I firmly believe we burn the stove so hot and with vents fully open so air flow/oxygen is maximum and this will prevent creosote/tar/resin whatever build up. Sounds like its coal that produces the most soot

Softwood is seen as inferior soft v. hard- obvious really A lot of people believe soft will gum up their chimney- presence of resin more obvious. You get it on your hands when fresh I've been burning fresh felled oak and pine this winter along with a lot of other stuff Just had chimney swept and sweep got about a cup of soot out of the flue. He mentioned a need to put this flue powder in about three times a week for next season which react with resin in the flue making it crumbly so it too will sweep out. I'm going to try it and see how much soot comes out next year after doing this. That will then be the test. I firmly believe that the secret is to burn quick and hot rather than shutting it down- thats when the flue cools and resins condense

Interesting comments on this show Just out of interest have the aa thought of joining with the Institute of groundsmen at their Windsor show. It's huge- loads of interesting toys and there could be a section purely for arb stuff- would get more food choice and lots of other things to look at whilst there. They already have chippers/mewps/demos and its FREE:thumbup:

This is the more realistic view and generally my approach The customer is always right even when they are wrong You can suggest a different approach but in their garden it's their tree and unless they are the listening kind then you've little option. So often in tree work you are slated by someone whatever you do Take it out light trim thin pollard top whatever someone will say you should have done it differently. This is because they generally don't take into account the needs of the tree or the needs of the householder(light/gutters/leaves)
