Just to keep dogs out of garden as footpath along bottom of property had to walk everything in good 100m walk
  2. Knew someone how ran a skip business and took 3.5t skip truck home every night and it stood outside his house all weekend, people complained a had a visit from council. Now his got a skip outside 365 days and not one complaint.
  3. I have quoted day rates on a number of jobs where work can be changeable, and eveytime it's worked in my favour.
  4. Grade them out, good milling and fencing then one shit log does not make good milling timber look shit.
  5. May not be owned by BT as many companies put them up on BT poles, not cheap to repair as up to 90 lines in one cable not 4 like old cables.
  6. Lockable fuel cap and only 2 people with key fill it up also makes you think about what fuel it takes, may save some grief.
  7. French partridge sitting on eggs at the back of mine in Old cattle yard, only just started and that's 2_3 weeks later then last year maybe because its been cold.
  8. That Cortina is left hand drive, probable spent most of its life in good weather why it looks that good.
  9. Great stuff, Red arrows a bit to fast to get photos
  10. Probably best way to get timber as it's not easy at the moment and only going to get worse.
  11. Fred was a man that loved machinery so would probably love them, but not many reach the heights he did.
  12. Brush cutter with shredder blade and wear as much armor as possible.
  13. Remember years ago land owner make a mistake on grant form and landed up starting planting mid May and finished just before Bank Holiday. Was a bit like the weather we have just had cold and wet so they had a good start.
  14. If you got plenty of work going in high is not the answer, tell them that you are to busy. Is it a council job.
  15. Fox glove tree in big garden near me was in full flower last year by mid May, only just got some buds on it yesterday when I looked.
  16. Removed 3 conifers like that 2 loads turned into 3, conifers have got to be the worst to judge about volume. O hell got one to top tomorrow.
  17. Was involved with a large sequoia years ago at a big house when I worked for someone, remember my boss asking were they wanted it put with in the grounds, we put it in one lump which was about 4ft across and 30ft long alongside a disused drive were it layed for 5years then someone bought it and had it made into kitchen unit doors and paneling.
  18. One way to get to an emergency job first. 😀
  19. Have always used climbing harness then if I need to climb out of basket can just.
  20. Take pictures and ask head of council via email then you have proof of conversation if they have been planted in the right place if he can't answer then will pass it down to someone to. This is how I got some answers to a problem as when I contacted the department I thought would deal with it told me there was nothing they could do, but getting in contact with head has made them change there mind.
  21. Was wire last year as well, was told today they had 58 roll of ht 8/80/15 by 100m ordered to go straight out when they turn up and 20 other rolls of something else.
