  5. That's my evening job Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. You don't... where'd you get that from? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. I'd say 50k should be the bottom limit. If a climber can earn 36k a year why would you take all that risk and time to earn just a bit more? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. with respect, I would. I presume he's got a truck, chipper, kit etc. What happens when that needs replacing? From what I've seen of business owners in this game their day is full of working, quoting, maintenance and admin. For 23k a year? All good and well having a good reputation, but having a reputation for being cheap is something I can do without. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. What? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. cheers mate, no shortage of work here. Funnily its less stressful so far too! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Looms like a job for a subby that. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Anyone can be a busy fool though. It's easy to fill your diary when you're much cheaper than everyone else. Why bother though? I was on significantly more than that as a PAYE team leader. My only overhead was my car. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Just get some 11mm line spliced onto the snap. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. well my saws certainly sound very angry. I would be too if someone stuck a dremel in my ports... Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. You know how to piss them off, that's for sure! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. Try anyway, for others amusement Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. What does he know anyway? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. I might be wrong, but I remember reading that running in aspen means slightly less power? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. For that matter where do hedges come into it? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Possibly, or the tree in in a situation where it is occupying the majority of a small garden, close to the house, even blocking out all of the light etc etc. Should the client be forced to "lump it" where a reduction or lift won't achieve what they want? Is the only option to remove? Obviously mature specimens with high amenity value are different consideration. As long as the client is aware that a heavy reduction will start a maintenance cycle what's the problem? Its about compromise. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Nobody is saying they're wrong Gary. Simply that often we are bit working for the trees best interest, but the clients. Hence why I mentioned basing your decision on a trees situation. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Judge a tree in its individual merits. I have and will continue to heavily reduce small trees of suitable species in small back gardens. I'd rather do that then fell every tree that got too big for its garden. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Usually credit card size. There's a proud part of the flywheel, set that you the ignition module with a card between and tighten the ignition screws. If that doesn't help I'm out. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Did you check the gap between the flywheel and the ignition module when you adjusted it? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Cheers Bro, just dribbled red wine down my chin. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
