    Sweet chestnut or chataigner is the standard wood for woodburners. Goes for around €40 a cube, Marronier or Horse chestnut is rubbish.

    Crikey, they'll die of old age soon.
  3. Le Sanglier
    Well I learnt that today if nothing else:001_smile:

    No they might be scared off because of the aggressive nature of the terms. I bet 90% pay on the day.

    As Rupe has said before, Ok for large commercial clients, domestic ones may be scared off.
  6. Le Sanglier
    Very true, many a thread illustrates this.

    Looking at the picture something untoward has happened to the top roller which is probably your first point of interest.

    They'll be fairly soft by now, 255 quid, 55 for the grinder 200 for you.If you want to butter them up.

    TBH they are all powerful professional saws, you won't go wrong with any of them. Take your pick, none of them will disappoint.
  10. Le Sanglier
    Good point.

    Plus the branches break easy and drop flat rather than hanging on like spruce. Light, easy to chip, always planted too close to houses, love 'em!

    Look, I know it's a tree forum but it's CYPRUS. not cypress

    I'm all for keeping nukes, good fences make good neighbours.

    I've always used a blade on a strimmer, but taken off the guard (use good eye protection) Start at the top and work down in sweeps till you reach the ground.

    I think Tony is referring to the taxpayers ie."us" bailout of certain banks without "our" consent. Not exactly the same but I think he sort of has a point.

    Rick, don't be fooled into thinking that it's all sitting round quaffing wine in some wisteria covered terrace talking to friendly peasant types.
  17. Le Sanglier
    Actually, on reflection it's not a bad idea.

    Yes for most climbing jobs but I would have thrown it out of the tree by the time I get down to the stick. If I think the descent might be dodgy I'll throw the flipline round aswell. I sometimes don't bother with it on a small dismantle. (the CS I mean)
  19. Le Sanglier
    Well why did he fall? Did the rope slip off the peg. If I am leaving a stick up to be felled, I'll descend on a peg, or cut a upside down gob and come down on that. If it's done right where's the problem?
  20. Le Sanglier
    Ok, I think I am beginning to understand what people mean, It has a periodic "bogginess" when it seems to run rich and not pull throught the wood well, take it out rev it a bit, put it back in and it's fine. That strikes me as a carb problem as opposed to a serious fault.
  21. Le Sanglier
    What machine is it?

    Crew's

    Le Sanglier replied to Gray's topic in Climbers talk

    Totally agree, there's not too much new really. As a climber I can be a "shouter" but I also don't mind being told where to go by an angry groundy who's trying his hardest. This is not a job for sensitive souls. The climber sets the rhythm of the job. An experienced one can avoid overloading the ground crew. Agree with the OP by the way

    You missed nothing! and the Shane Ritchie Minder was beyond awful.
  24. Le Sanglier
    You watched the film yet?

    Bits and bobs, Gardners World is on now though:001_smile: Ps well done Huck!
