No hidden agenda there at all. What makes you think it's unsafe. Stop trying to con the OP.

Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Joe Newton replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
We did a fair bit of that, shackle/porty on the back on the MO. That tree was tip tied from mine and cut at the base, lowered of a porty on the base of my tree and pulled with a tag line to a land rover. The MO was used to buffer the car that had been inconveniently abandoned in the drop zone. The portawrap on the MO made life easy on that job, we were able to tip tie and tension with the MO, lift when required, then lower. Saved a lot of labour. -

20240530_090232.mp4 Pardon the stubs, my 200t is poorly so was muddling through with the echo. Only found out after they're was another @spudulike ported 200t on site 🙄. -
Nope

It's been happening to me too sometimes. Arsehole

To beat Fury with that reach disadvantage shows what an animal Usyk is. I've no problem with Fury and his personality. He's got the goods to back it up. His dad however is just a sad old pikey riding his sons coat tails.
-
Can't be worse than AJ's cringey rant about Ukraine when he lost to Usyk for the second time.

Too bloody right -

Shame I don't have a day free this coming week. It's pretty much on my doorstep. -
When i got my claim form through it just levelled up the game 🤣. Have a look on the MSE forum for advice. There are a lot of knowledgeable people who are happy to advise for free.

Well done Pete, it's well worth reading and understanding the consumer rights act (CRA 2015). Too many people get fobbed off without question.

Arb Assoc's view on freelancers and small businesses.

I emailed him inviting him to respond at the time. He was too busy helping "Ukrainian refuge kids" apparently. -
You might struggle to find one though!

It seems to me like you took my reply personally. Not my aim, but if you want to take offense that's your perogative. I was merely suggesting that Shutlers OF paid for more of his new house than treework did.

Sounds like prison suited you! Don't assume having kit = making bank!

Yeah the drive links on the stihl chain don't mesh with the nose sprocket on the sugi bar
-
I'm not a fan. I generally like and buy from Rob and co wherever I can as their website and range is second to none. Those bars however are not up to task and unfortunately they've stopped stocking the stihl bars. For the 2511 you can buy a stihl 10" bar, and the 57 (make sure the drive link count is correct as the more popular 56dl won't fit) over the counter at most stihl dealers

So probably an 8cm grouping at 100m with irons. Impressive. I doubt i could hit my Mrs at that range, and she's about the size of a well fed deer.
-
What size target, Mike?

You come across as mentally unstable. People commuting to work risk their lives each day crossing the road. You've missed the point that the client isn't behaving unreasonably. The OP has asked for payment in advance when that was not part of the agreement, and the customer has refused which is well within their rights.
-
The difference there is that you actually completed the work and were owed the money, so you were entirely justified. Purser would agree I'm sure, and he's almost a lawyer.
-
What happened to the original thread started by this guy? This is a duplicate. Having not agreed any payment terms prior to completion, he has zero grounds to ask for it or seek anything until the agreed work is completed. To those advising "compensation by revenge", you'd quite literally be inviting the client to sure for criminal damage. You'd be completely in the wrong. I'm not disputing the fact that the client may be a cock, but the OP has put himself in his situation with poor planning and terms.
-
I've not found that to be the case generally speaking. Most firms prefer to stick with who they know will get the job done rather than risking a new climber who may or may not turn up and be any good.
-
I remember that. Adam does raise some good points but it also reads a bit of a whinge. My experience of being a freelancer is quite different. Better money/ work life balance. Generally easier days and i don't have to put up with working for people i don't like.
-
One of my proudest moments, for sure.
