Possibly selling the V10 Touareg in October, if anyone is interested
AHPP replied to Big J's topic in Arb-Trucks
How carefully did you shop around for that battery?! £500 seems a lot. -
There’s no excuse for it with the accuracy of mapping, gps etc these days. I’m constantly amazed at people’s lax attitudes towards it. One of my ideas for making money is offering a combined surveying and property litigation service. I could go round country pubs, stirring up trouble for people stealing field boundaries from each other etc.

Sounds well organised. Well done.
-
Ah. Hang on. It’s probably one of those conventions where the property line falls on one side of the wall rather than down the middle?
-
Who owns the trees on the line? It’s the sort of thing I’d do if I wanted to stir up an argument with a neighbour.
-
Curious as to why you have the trees bang on the line?

Someone on here has a cabin made from poplar.

I built a trailer out of poplar about fifteen years ago. Still in good shape. Shrank a lot. I think lorries use it for decks because it’s cheap.

What do coconuts grow on then? Ship coconut shells half way round the world and then tell the locals it’s eco because it’s not a tree. Vacuous horseshit.

Could do with a few bits: Steel biners, ovals and big ones Small portawrap Pulleys Ropes and dead eyes Those are the things I can think of but probably can make use of other stuff. Try me. Offers of second hand stuff by private message please. No other input required thanks.

That’s not business. That’s taxvictim funded twatting about. His business is firewood wholesaling.

If you really want legal advice, ask lawyers. Before that though, consider the relationship you have and want with your neighbour. It'll only go one way once solicitors are involved. Suggest you find some way to call it a win in your head. Maybe "let" them cut it on the basis that they do it once a year at an agreed height and shape. They're then paying for your property to look neat.

Nice enough trees. I'd keep them for as long as they don't show bad dieback. If/when they do, twiglet them to ladder height and hope they survive as pollards. Whatever you do, don't read the advice to remove, the advice to leave alone and take a straight-down-the-middle average of reducing them for the sake of something to do. You'll get the worst of all worlds. Edit to add: Sorry. Didn’t read original post properly. Remove what you want. Advice on pruning remainders remains same. You just invite disease, unsightly regrowth etc.

Why a pleasure?
-
Yes yes. Nobody wants accidents. Duh.
-
I can. I’d have been annoyed, mostly about the barrier.
-
Not necessarily. Volenti non fit injuria.
-
His lookout principally. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes etc.
-
I hate that too. Every instance of public shittiness towards workmen that I’ve witnessed could have been avoided if the workmen had just been nice in the first place. Many choose to be confrontational though. “MY site” etc.
-
Natty little sports car, Alaskan mill on the picnic hamper rack. Fabulous.
-
That kind of sense of entitlement irks me chronically. Very ugly displays of power, taking pleasure in excluding people from “their” site. Almost always causes me to make a point of disobeying them. At least you were grateful when you had the highways people hold back the traffic.
-
I’ve never had to do more than move plastic barriers or men at work signs. The only thing that defeated me was heras fencing and a six foot deep hole. And, as often, you hide your light under a bushel. I’ve witnessed you being equally unkind to your own suspension.
-
In fifteen years of driving (England) I’ve only ever found one road closed sign that told the truth.
-
I suspect the OP meant the girthiest trees are 7 feet in circumference at 5 feet above ground level (about two feet DBH). Suggest OP consults forestry contractors or some sort of land agent before arb contractors. You could probably do with advice on the value of the wood. My first suggestion was have a forester in to show the scouts how to do it but you’ve probably got some gay rule about that.
-
Yep. He’s exactly the sort of thing I’m after. Much obliged.
