Thanks guys

Reckon it will be trust, emailed them but need to ring really! Handy to know they do vehicles too, NFU gave a good quote on the tractor, very poor on the land rover so it'll be interesting to see how Trust do!

You were obviously on a day rate then!

Half an hour, more like!

Dont know what you mean!

WooHoo!!!!! Bring it on!

the tree in ur avatar is bigger than the tree in mine:sneaky2:

 

Such is life:biggrin:

There are, vid too somewhere, you'll have to be patient though. If i knew computers and how to work them i'd be quids in!

It was a wellingtonia, looks impressive but only 90 or so ft! It was all arse and funnily enough in an all girls private school:biggrin: They was on half term at the time though:sneaky2: Took a day to prep it, reckon we took at least 2 ft off the flair, spiked up to put a pulling rope in her, just to make sure, and had a turfor off another welly. Gob and back cut took half a day, she finally went with a few cranks on the winch and come down with a hell of a crash! Took best part of a week to ring up and clear! Once in a career Tree:thumbup:

What was the story with the tree in your avatar mate? Looks like a big old thing!!

It was a welly, big arse on it, approx 14ft across, took 2 ft of flair off all round, gob in and down! Sounds good but it was just fat! Only 90ft... took a week to ring up though!

amersham in bucks mate... not far from london..

Sounds like the right side of town, you wanting freelance?

Pm me

pretty damn rubbish with those wings I guess..

You pay me top wages and I'll come dressed as a pigeon myself!

Class A feathers though, H&S and all that!

He doesn't have the chainsaw certificate

Whats he like at putting ropes up?

Sometimes we have to hear ourselves say it before we realise lol.

The chores are unimportant mate, the fact that you are giving up your time for her is what it is all about. Once you see what she is going to have to endure for your child to be brought into this world you will feel even more inadequate and selfish:lol:

Best of luck for the future and ps, loving the pic in your avatar:001_cool:

I know I know! I knew i'd get it from someone!

Done most of it, out of breath now though and such soft hands

Cheers for the wishes

( i think the world of her but sshhhuusssshhh, dont tell her!)

Fat chance, she's due in 3 weeks!

Makes me sound more of a **** now doesnt it

I'm with Trust. £5 million is recommended, it's good for LA work or companies you're subbying for. Got my tools through them as well.

Thanks for that, it was going to be my next question about LA contracts!

Cheers

Ain't it crap havin a day off when she's at work, i've just decided to look at the ' list' i got left I couldn't do all that in a day, nevermind the 40 minutes i've got left!

All i wanted was to relax and put me feet up for the day, but no, i'm expected to do her stuff

Power to the People!!!! Bring back Wolfie!

Tryin the link but it keeps coming up 'not found'

i'd steer clear of secondhand ones! Like Hodge says, dig deep and get the best deal you can! Difficult to get one over the net though, you'll just have to shop around.

It will suffer from "Uglydangerous birchdisease" -Betula lookslikecrapcauseithasbeenhackedtobitsiensis. If you were a plumber would you do what the customer wanted or would you do it the proper way? Leave it alone or fell and replant!

Sense at last! Its not always about the money!

They dont respond at all to topping, it'll rot, look awful and become dangerous! I hate doing anything to birch other than felling them! They look nice but are in essence a woodland nursery tree, with a fairly short life span in any case. Fell It!

The GB rules will apply if you drive a van or other commercial vehicle with a maximum permitted gross weight of 3.5 tonnes or less. They may also apply to drivers of some passenger-carrying vehicles, including public service vehicles on regular services on routes of 50 kilometres.

 

 

The Great Britain (GB) domestic drivers' hours rules affect most drivers and commercial vehicles that are not within the scope of the EU rules. They apply only to journeys made entirely or partly on public roads in Britain. Northern Ireland has its own domestic rules.

 

For more information on the EU rules, see our guide on how to comply with EU drivers' hours rules.

 

The GB rules won't apply if you are driving in a private capacity, ie not in connection with a job or in any way to earn a living.

 

You will come under the GB rules if you drive a public service vehicle (PSV) that:

 

* is used on regular services of 50 kilometres or less

* has eight or fewer passenger seats and is used on regular services within the UK of 50 kilometres or more

* has eight or fewer passenger seats and is used on non-regular services, such as a tour, private hire or a commercial excursion

 

For definitions of what counts as a public service vehicle and how a regular service is defined, see our guide on drivers' hours rules: the basics.

 

Other passenger-carrying vehicles driven under permit operations - or used for non-PSV use - also come under the GB rules. See this table to help you decide which rules apply to passenger carrying vehicles - Opens in a new window.

 

If you drive a goods vehicle, you will need to follow GB drivers' hours rules if the vehicle or vehicle combination - eg a van with a trailer - has a maximum permissible gross weight of 3.5 tonnes or less, and is operated entirely within Britain.

Exemptions

 

The GB rules do not apply to drivers who do not use public roads, eg driving in connection with road improvements or road maintenance, quarrying, construction work and civil engineering works.

 

If you drive for fewer than four hours every day in any fixed week, you do not have to meet the drivers' hours requirement for that week. A fixed week runs from 00.00 on Sunday to 00.00 the next Sunday.

 

 

Not sure if this helps My mogs are argi class so its never bothered me

So whats the answer?? Nevermind all the political jargon its a yes or no answer!

Hi!

I was just wondering what are the various 'tree worker's' wages starting with a groundsman and finishing with whatever is at the top?

I'm looking around for some work and would be interested to know how high can one climb?

Thanks

If your pet piggeon comes to work to then i'll pay top money just for the entertainment value :lol
