    Oops

    Le Sanglier replied to jjll's topic in The Lounge

    Pretty nasty! Saw was very blunt, that upset me more.

    tough times Steve, I remember when as a lad we had our Jack Russell put down, he was 14 or 15 and you just have to think what a great life he had. Here's Charlie keeping an eye out for a roe deer that she chased out of the garden a few weeks ago, put a swagger in her step for a bit!

    Ok cheers.

    What is this problem with deadwood? How does it manifest itself?

    The guy wanted an ID, it wasn't a fun quiz. And for a while there he had been convinced by others it was a Hornbeam, wrongly. It wasn't even close.

    So do I....... jeeez. You can understand at the beginning of a thread when trying to be first but as it wore on....really:confused1:

    Fair enough, it's the price of unimogs that makes me catch my breath.

    Out of curiosity why not a ordinary 7.5 tonner? they are as cheap as chips. Is it a access/4wd thing? They cannot be that much bother and represent a huge saving on a mog.

    8ft is nothing on a tree like that, probably go a bit harder. Looking closely I reckon it's been done before.

    Always enjoy your videos, plus I agree, you have a great ground crew.
  12. Le Sanglier
    Exactly, just get on with your own job:001_smile:

    Ha ha, I switch from qwerty to azerty to look less stupid.

    I know,and your English is better than 90 percent of people on here and much, much better than my French:001_smile:
  15. Le Sanglier
    Hypothetical. And........... I dunno!

    'Tis a bit cranky Mark, seems a nice little thread about tips to get through the hot weather. Besides there's too much positivity about:001_smile:

    Or rather than un clip it and possibly lose it, attach it to another branch rather than your belt

    Starting up your saws at 5am will attract some compliments!

    Even so I doubt it:001_smile:

    <p>Hi Stu, didn't realise you had messaged me on this,sorry, tbh that would be a bit much for mine as well, like yours it would do it, but....</p>

    <p>Tricky one to price, might be worth asking Trigger on here. He has a 70 hp machine and is touting for work, no reason why for the cost of the ferry and a couple of nights b&b he might not do it.</p>

    Was just thinking Steve, if its hassle you wanted to avoid I reckon Arbtalk prolly gives you your share:001_smile:

    Each to their own I suppose, it's just that when working for others earlier in the job and I saw cheques for 500 odd quid changing hands when I was getting a ton for the day I realised that if I wanted a piece of that action a little investment was required. Running a small business is really very easy, stay under the VAT threshold and its child's play (in the UK anyway!) I suppose a lot depends on how you price your own jobs. what's the max a climber would earn? 160? bit more at a pinch. What happens when there is a breakdown in the most expensive and complex machine you have ie You, something simple like a sore wrist or bad back and you're grounded, earning diddly.

    my advice would be to get yourself a transit type van and mix in subby climbing with your own work, say you get 160 a day for dismantling a big beech as a subby, you could double or triple that with your own work, even hedge work, as long as you have something to get the stuff away with. The only worthwhile money in this job is doing it for yourself.
  24. Le Sanglier
    Agreed, good call about 2006, it was a false nirvana, clients everywhere, happy to pay whatever, your house making more money than you. All built on credit.

    Easy lift guy watch out! There's a new kid in town. Edit the dog's apparel is more disturbing than yours.
