Obviously if its going really well I try not to get to ahead of myself incase something goes wrong Sent from my ST23i using Arbtalk mobile app

I thought that you had to provide training and equipment and even they sign a contract they dont have to pay the cost back? Sent from my ST23i using Arbtalk mobile app -

Couple of jobs from this week. First one is a pair of manky maccys in decline. Ine side of them was covered in briers and climber but we were able to bosh most of them down easily. The second is of a sycamore which can be seen in the left side of the maccy photos. Real tight spot but got it down today. Fair bit of decay and had to lower it all it looks somehow smaller in tge photos Sent from my ST23i using Arbtalk mobile app

Reduced this oak when I was back in Ireland last wk. The pics are crap though. It was nearly touching the neighbours roof so I took alot of that side. I took around 2 metres of the top. It looks really dense at the bottom but thats the neighbouring sycamore growing through. I crown raised it. Sent from my ST23i using Arbtalk mobile app

Reduced a small sycamore with the rooe wrench yesterday, it was my first srt work climb. I liked it so much that I reduced a big oak today Christ its good I like that rope isnt moving. I need to sort some sort of Haas system out. I found it awkward when going up a vertical stem to get the slack out but I think its just a matter of practice. Its so handy just using redirects as many as you want. Loving the kernmaster as well Sent from my ST23i using Arbtalk mobile app
