  1. Any tree that close to any structure will in time damage the foundation and the root system will start feeding off the septic or sewer line. Fire wood is the best suggestion after removal easy-lift guy
  2. Just remember if you decide to get a "cheapy", you may be disappointed:sneaky2:. If your in the business for any length of time buy a decent spreader that will make your investment back and than some:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  3. I suspect your cost of living is better and you have lower overhead, I am happy for you:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  4. If I remember correctly when the new caps were introduced here stateside the caps were recalled within a year and had to be replaced by the dealer. I had two machines with replacement caps and does not seem to be a problem. On my chainsaw I have to always be careful and make sure it is on correctly. And 1/2 the time I find either the fuel or the oil leaking on my chaps or boots. Pretty irritating and stupid as a bonus!. easy-lift guy
  5. What you need to understand is that the programming your watching is reality TV. Cable channels sell programs like the one you mentioned to millions of viewers all over the US market. Product placement is no accident and even though the work is real if the rating drop low enough the series is canceled. I believe the guys working the saws and choker lines are pulling $500 to $600 Gross every week. The owners are part of the TV Shows and are more than likely, "if they have good mangers ",getting a cut off syndication for future income needs. Prices of mags are always higher from one country to another, always been that way. In regards to your statement "fuel over there being so cheap yet they moan about it", take a few things into consideration. First the cost of our fuel is keyed to the rate of inflation in this country and even though the present governments in power refuses to include the cost of food, clothing and fuel as part of day to day living expenses, people that work and are not on the dole or government aid are paying for all of the slobs lining up to collect anything free. In comparison to the UK , between the taxes on fuel and your VAT these funds are spent on the Myriad of social welfare programs that the citizen voted for many years ago. Hope that helped clear up something's. easy-lift guy
  6. Good question. Here stateside the accent is different than others I have heard. The evasive nature of their conversations that I have had over the years has left me with a uneasy feeling, not good for the easy-lift guy
  7. Your reply to this thread speaks volumes. It seems to me that the police have a selective means of enforcement when it comes to law enforcement in your country. We have the same situation here stateside, however sometimes the victims of said crimes can and will take matters into their own hands to secure justice or some semblance there of. easy-lift guy
  8. I just did the conversion from euros to dollars, $318,500.00:sneaky2: I think I could get that model a little cheaper over here, even on a bad day!. easy-lift guy
  9. That would turn a few heads here stateside, anyone know what something like that might cost? easy-lift guy
  10. It ain't over till the Fat Lady sings. I am sure if your not happy you can get your money back. easy-lift guy
  11. Same gloves over her for $140.00 US, however while looking at the item at Oakley ther was no mention of any warranty or guarantee?. For that kind of money I would expect at least a year under normal wear conditions. Ground dwellers 2 cents worth anyway. easy-lift guy
  12. Funny how hindsight can be 20/20. Of course your reputation means alot and remember no one can Pimp yourself and your services better than you. easy-lift guy
  13. James, IMHO Time is the single greatest Commodity that is not recoverable. I would suggest making yourself available for your local market as much as possible. I believe the overhead will eat into any actual profit you may realize from your efforts traveling amoung other expenses known and unknown. Good hunting:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  14. Work smarter not harder. Although I can not honestly take credit for this motto, it has served me well with my life. easy-lift guy
  15. You deserve to be happy, and that is a big part of why your in business for your self, other than chasing down customers for funds owed:sneaky2: Have a great weekend:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  16. Stoxs, Your warning is fantastic and I commend you and anyone else willing to help put these folks out of business and in jail for a long time. easy-lift guy
  17. President-CEO Final Sayer,Living the dream. easy-lift guy
  18. This is a classic example of an intended consequence that everyone needs to be aware of. Be proactive with your smart phone or other type devices since at any given time your being monitored. Price one pays for technology, how one uses said technology is up to the individual and society. easy-lift guy
  19. Great for sleeding this time of year, bigger the better. Up north we would get the big truck tires, I mean tyres. and get 4 or 6 to a run down the hill!. easy-lift guy
  20. I have to admit that was the strangest and most dull wood? Or something else cutting device I have ever seen. easy-lift guy
  21. Yes, you are correct, and I need my sleep more than I need them:sneaky2: easy-lift guy
  22. Yorkshireman, Shooting and or dealing with any exiotic and invasive species can be bizarre and I am glad that you don't have the problems with these creatures that we have. Of course No howling last night, them coyotes are pretty smart. Battle plan will be as follows. 1st secure 3 sets of motion sensor light in the Kill zone and allow the vermon to become accustom to the lights coming on and off for a week or Two. 2nd start to leave bait either dangling by nearby tree limb over kill area or on tray. 3rd, Take up position with lazer scope and AR-15 X 223 and make examples of said Vermon. Will post Pics as soon as mission is accomplished. easy-lift guy
  23. If anyone would like to come over to the Sunshine State I can provide the game and no limit in my back yard. Seems over the last 50+ years Coyotes have been migrating further and further into North America. Over the last 8 months a certain pack has been increasing in numbers and vocalizations nearly every full moon cycle. The blood curling howling has awaken my self and my better half for the last time!. I am formally declaring all out war against these Vernon who are at the top of the food chain here and will kill and eat anything they can. Since the Coyote is an exotic invasive species extreme prejudice can and will be used to destroy these critters, on site. I am presently setting up a kill zone in my back yard since I really need my sleep and I will take no prisoners!. easy-lift guy
  24. Looks like a very moving experience to say the least:thumbup1:. easy-lift guy
  25. I believe your sadly true, same Krap over here using a food source to destroy engines for the sake of a corn lobby. Private industry would never invest in such a scam since they could and would go to jail. Tougher to throw the crooks in jail when they own them and have the keys as well. easy-lift guy
