  12. I am one of the landscaping firms that decided to do our own tree work. Around 7 years ago we had a client that had a huge Lime in a very prominent position at the front of there property which dropped a limb in high wind. A company gave her a quote to reduce it what we ended up with was a pollard and a bad one at that cuts on stupid angles terrible shape. The client was mortified so i looked in to getting my tickets which i had with in twelve months and hired a decent climber who had been in the game a long time who taught me on the job. The aim at first was to just look after trees on our clients sites so we had no more cowboys in. But it has grown into a viable business on its own and now accounts for 50% of our income. Yes there are to many tree firms about charging very little for shoddy work. We are all fighting for the same jobs but i have a steady exceptance of quotes and some of the other quotes have been half of what mine have. Its finding the ones that want a good job done and are willing to pay for it not just the cheapest. ps excuse poor spelling grammar punctuation

  22. I worked in Europe some years ago in a different industry there was allays guys coming from the uk that were suppose to be experts in there field it would usually turn out they were there because of who they new not what they new. After a few weeks they would usually move on. Another thing that sticks in my memory is how different nationality's did the same job in very different ways some we would consider dangers would be completely normal to them. Enjoy it well you can mate.
  23. Owch was he insured?
  24. A lot of government gear comes in to a local auction house a lot of the saws have it etched on the handle how long they can use them for. So i am guessing that's why they change the av mounts every service so its the same as when it came out the factory. The other thing was some of the bigger equipment would be bought for a particular contract then be disposed of at auction with maybe 3 or 4 hours on . There was fransgaurd winches droped off with the original plastic on them. Pure madness.
