I worked with a groundy you could change ends of the branch rope. Change climb plan, leave slack or not in the rope. Never got a WOF look, and always got the right amount of raps with out being asking, always let a little bit of rope slip to take the sting out of the swing when needed never to any crap from a climber ether. Moved jobs and have spent the rest of my life working with OK grounds men never met another groundy like that. Its had to get a used to doing to jobs (doing mine and telling the groundy to untangle my rope bla bla bla)

I got a tirfor coppy, 400 600 pounds, solid weighs a ton. I have puled out some big stuff but only if I cant get the grinder or a JCB in. Cant understand any one pulling off a truck every time I have used the truck I just end up pulling the truck:confused1:

Give me some one with over 5 years of experience to work with, over some over qualified twit with papers any day. In this game experience counts for a lot more. I did a three year ND just a NPTC was setting up (years a go) they said that they would except an ND as qualification for a ticket. When I finished they said stick it only our five minute course counts. They were only after the money how can a three year corse be worth nothing

Where I lived last the was a condition written in the dead No noise or grass cutting Sunday. People did cut the grass and make a bit of noise but never at lunch or if next door were having a BBQ and there was a mutuel understanding that noise on Sunday was keept to a minimun. Its just good sense really if you dont want to pee of the neighbours dont start a stone cutter at 8 Sunday evening I never start my chipper out of working hours I dont get new clients like that. I think your neighbour has a lack of respect.

What to do after cheques get cancelled
tomtrees replied to jaime bray's topic in Business Management
Dont count on it the banks have lent so much money that they havent got in order to repay to creditors staff tax ect. They are continualy having to find more and more people to lend too, plus every person that borrows money has to pay back interest so even more money has to be created from nothing to find the interest. Interest rats have droped in order to atract more and more people to borrow to continue this growth. If suddenly some one big cant pay which may happen in the EU we go back to trading monkey nuts So tree surgeons should be ok -

Yep symple realy

I get a little plant spray/mister put a quater of bleach in and the rest water. Spray alover the wood with it. You need to do it as soon as you see signs of mold because the mold stain the wood very quickly.

Ooops;; Soft hands are good for your wives anyway.

You are going to ruin them. Thier going to get soft hands (paper cuts) square eyes and no time for their girlfriends.

Give your local Tree Officer a ring and tell him you have been asked to cut a a500 year old tree that you think shorly must have a TPO and you would like to cheack as your cutting it at the end of next week :biggrin:and see what responice you get.

That would be nice but you would have to increase the size of the economy, prosperity of the country as well in order to keep inflation under control or we go back to 17 % interest rates.

I have never had the luxury of being able to strike to abuse it just be cause "I want more money and I dont want my pension cut like every body else" is being a bit unfaire on those that foot the bill. The private sector has made changes to cope with the situation and the state pension age has gone up to 63 I think (I hope I am still climbing at 65 ) I want more money but I know I will have to work for it and it may never come or I will have to change my job. Is the 30 July a school day if so there will be many that will have to stay at home to look after kids and lose a days work.

You dont have to pay his services and it is up to him if he puts money aside for a pension.

They dont much look like they needed a tpo pine trees grow all over and are two a penny And now to close to a building the insurance company is going to want them down and they could be considered dangerous. The cost of bringing them down now is double. Should have felled at the beginning and a clause for replanting AT the end of the works with more better tree species may be sim mature.

Nice chipper no hand break though?
-
Do you load test a branch before ropping in ? An eye in to the concreet would have been better though.
-
They want you to pay for it in tax
-
If you got the kit and can make it pay why climb? Quicker easer and probably safer like that rigging is quicker too. Looked like fun to me:thumbup:
-
Well best not tell him any way:biggrin:

Life without risk would be pritty boring I think most people that run a company or climb for a living know about pushing the boundries bankers do it every day explorars politions scintists all do it and the result has a greater impact on our lives than running down a steep hill. You could stay in bed all day and never achive anything but you would die of bordem never loved and never lived lets move forward and except that living is risky and as a docter once said to me live is a illness that always finishes with death make the most of it.

Anyone else suffer with a dislocating shoulder ??
tomtrees replied to combined tree services's topic in General chat
After an branch hit me I found that my arm made a rasping noise and wouldnt work. I thought I had broken my coller bone but no after xrays looked like the shoulder bone had been dislocated. Now got a big lump on on shoulder. Went back to work too soon and made it worse.
