if your subbied in by another tree firm its hard to complain/alter about the work, but if your asked about what to do with a tree and the client says "i want to topped" or "limbed" then i ususally find you can discuss what long term impact this will have and the come round to 20-30% reduction

nought wrong with not having secondary anchor point if you have good reason for it and not cutting anywhere near you rope i reckon. i use old climbing rope for light rigging alot - prob should sort that out? should loler my kit more than once a year year and half (i do inspect it regular myself, and i'm a SE climber) climbing without a aerial recue climber present (opinions please)

with ubuntu or libre office if you just google your question 9/10 you get the exact answer. open source is the future!

yep libre office id good. i got sick of microsoft windows and converted to ubuntu OS, which is mostly great, and a lot faster!

mmmmmmmmmm chicken of the woods quiche.....................

basically, less leaf coverage on the furthest points of a crown, to me would indicate that the tree is feeling pretty stressed out! if the ground is lifting, i'd say the roots are knacked! v hard to really be conclusive without seeing it in the flesh- prob best getting someone local to give you a bit advice

thanks for the advice spud

so would you pump up/suck through the spark plug? - yes pressure or vac tester is there any hope with just a new piston ring?

for starters Nicholas Salvador ( i assume you refer to him) was a british born, british citizen who was clearly mentally unstable, i hope you are not in anyway linking the colour of his skin to his behaviour? secondly, as i suggested in my original post you could read about post war immigration into the UK to fill the enormous void in the labour market which was actively encouraged. this should help you to see atleast some benefits of immigration. i'd love it if you could stop making huge generalisations about ethnic groups, like the plumber you mention. seriously wtf? that plumber does in no way represent that nations workforce's ability than you or anyone else does for british workers clearly we are both pretty set in our ways and stubborn, and i will admit you would have a pretty hard time convincing me of your opinions on immigration. but i do try to keep an open mind, and know that immigration isn't a simple issue and i think its healthy to discuss it. also making sweeping racist generalisations IMHO doesn't really buy you any ground or help the debate.

that's right pal, anything other than British is all child rape and terrorism. tbh i'm amazed your consistent zenophobia is tolerated on here

that video made me think more about how insignificant our efforts appear to be to help change this massive economic difference. i cannot help feeling that we have a responsibility to do significantly more to help those in desperate poverty - not just because we have more, but that we only have more because they have less. for too long our economic and foreign policies have been dividing, destabilizing and screwing over the world poorest. frankly my locality could do with a bit more biodiversity! i'd welcome some immigration, and believe that it possible to "preserve indigenous culture" and enjoy and mix with other cultures. america is a interesting example of the effects of immigration into an already well established indigenous culture in the 1600's - illustrating clearly some very negative effects for the then "indigenous people presently residing there", yet is now regarded as probably one the the most diverse countries around with an incredible mix of culture. also for all those that don't know about it - you might be interested to read about the British Nationality Act of 1948

borrowed a vac and pressure test kit from a pal - he says yes 125psi is v.low but the saw should run/fire. whats the best way to blank off exhaust and inlet port? the kit he has fits onto hat looks like a bit brake pipe or something? how should i join this onto the blanking plates. thanks

here we go

can you use oak, larch or douglas?

wow sweet hacking skills! no idea where that pic came from - likely just off a google search - don;t even remember putting an image with it. expect your right - it'll be something to do with this picture being used, maybe its a copyright husky photo!

welly is good but its soft, you can write in it with your thumb nail i have milled some for seating etc and it looks and lasts well, but is soft and i found it hard to carve/join is it is quite soft/brittle

i like it when client says "don't worry about tidying those branches/sawdust up we'll do it at the weekend" i.e when you just have to climb and not tidy up!

does the ground actually move when its windy? hard to tell in the photo - but it look like the leaf cover is thicker in the centre of the crown?

holy crap, i have been trying to sell my 170's for a lowly £90! i didn't realise i could get 50% above the rrp if i used them a bit and through in 100ml of "STIHL" oil

i can't show them the ad as its been deleted by gumtree!

my working 5000 gets 175psi! having retested with a gunson hi gauge its more like 125psi this piston is very lightly scored, but have seem much worse, pot looks ok, just a tiny bit of transfer. seems pistons are impossible to get non oem ones, have ordered a caber ring, will clean everything up and hopefully this will sort.

wires crossed sorry, i thought you were talking about joe newton's reply which was directly above yours and mentioned recoil side down.
