    porous Tarmac exists but the in the ordinary urban setting it's the non porous sort. Another question from a Neanderthal, isn't there some sort of need for the roots (at least the little ones near the surface) to access air? How are they managing that under all that various aggregate and impermeable hardtop? Ps thanks for the link, I read what I could. Got to get going, so apologies if I missed something in there,

    Ok, good luck, hope no one touches your stuff again, whereabouts in the world are you?
  3. Le Sanglier
    Sure you're right:001_smile: it's just that surely Tarmac is(or is meant to be) impermeable to water otherwise every frost it would disintergrate.

    Back to the knotweed, my mate out here has a riverfront property and when he moved in was infested with it, despite my dire warnings he's just strimmed it and then mowed it regularly, guess what? It died, seeded grass came through. Not quite the apocalyptic plant it's made out to be.

    Welcome back! I assume there's a back story on this? Where can we find out about it? Any links to some media?

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......if you say so:001_smile:

    Ah good question, we've all seen trees with Tarmac up to the buttresses and extending well beyond the drip line, I have enquired on here how these trees managed to get moisture etc no one seemed to be able to answer it. I suspect membrane just prevents light so no problem there.

    Looking at the sample page it just looks like an ident book with the addition of a rather vague and arbitrary one to five grade on those four criteria. How can timber quality be assessed with just a cartoon of a picture of four planks? Just saying,nobody bother jumping down my throat for being negative!

    First 4x4 I had was a terrano, fell apart like a circus clowns car, not up to hard work, dirt cheap though.

    If they want to pay then fine, charge em, some people (like me)don't like to be beholden to anyone. Haven't looked at the pics but 15 an hour with a 20 quid minimum.

    Bit nuts IMO, takes all sorts though.

    Clever, well thought out.

    After googling I reckon you're right, thanks. I will say they're a right sod for the chipper.

    I've always regretted not learning to throw up a fence properly, nice summer work and compliments felling and grinding. 99% trees for me.

    Civray town centre, it had been topped before as you can see, I"ll be honest I don't know what it was, It wasn't a BA cedar i know that, anyone know?

    Nasty dismantle in a front garden, powerlines, telephone lines, parked cars and a wisteria right to the top. The neighbour was snap happy and gave me a disc with a load of pics, here are a few.

    Can only speak for myself but in the old days my YP ad brought me next to nothing, look elsewhere, just my opinion mind.

    I wonder how many younger people are employed in the traditional sense and how many operate in the grey area of subbing, self employment etc, I was never truly employed whilst learning and have never employed anyone in the strictest sense.

    My first harness was a willans, then I got another one (I forget the name but it's red with a leather back) then I thought I should get new one so I Got another willans. Honestly, I regret it, slips around and won't stay in place.

    I was once held to the ground and made to eat grass (against my will!) as punishment for breaking a pane of greenhouse glass. To be fair I did deserve it!
  23. Le Sanglier
    Fair enough, on reflection I apologise.
  24. Le Sanglier
    At that price worth keeping a spare.

    So tell your wife to change her aftershave.
