  1. Tree fallen through old garage roof. Is this asbestos? Walk away from the job? It's going to break up further during tree removal so perhaps not worth quoting for. Thoughts..
  2. genius
  3. Any one know what size and length the kask euro adapter (for headphones) screw size are? Need one (a few) in a hurry in France...
  4. pretty sure that's what I had in Jan 2017, when I saw the result of the presidential election in the US
  5. Cool, hoping they die now that wood is stickered and stacked. Noticed a few live ones. Rather not use chemicals if poss
  6. Milled a bit of oak that's been on the deck for a year. Lot of wood worm - especially liking the sap wood. How do I stop them from causing more damage and then keep them away? Wood is just going to be cut in to slats for a log shed.
  7. I believe NPTC Unit 308 (CS39) covers it surely?
  8. Tiny Tach fits pretty well. I'm sure there are other cheaper ones that are just as good.
  9. nice
  10. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47454610 man buys wild animals to illegally "breed" them in a cage. lion mauls said man to death. animals shot dead to get to the dead man - including one in separate cage. mayor's summary: "Today's incident will perhaps finally help to resolve this long-term problem," what's the lesson here?
  11. Any cheap tach recommendations? One in video looks pricey
  12. Us or that tree? ?
  13. Amazing saw but after using for a couple of months its in the habit of quite often "running on" when idling (feels a bit like those last few seconds of revving before a saw runs out of fuel). Also needs a blip on the trigger to start most times. Not a pro at tuning but any simple tips/solutions appreciated. Or any online help videos on fixing problem? I can try to film and post a short video clip if that helps.
  14. A lightening-strike oak we "reduced" last summer with help from Mick and his Multione It ended up a bit 2D - "a tale of two halves" The rule of thirds was not observed
  15. I'd be tempted with this if I was quite a bit taller
  16. Sorry, I'm not sure what a gallop is?
  17. Cheers. It would be a mix of the whole lot - timber and foliage. Also wondered if not safe when green - would it then be safe once it's lost moisture?
  18. Of the two trees in 12 years I've walked away from one was a "funny" feeling ash in Richmond. It was due to be reduced but each anchor point I tried felt like a worn spring. At one, I found a trio of holes at the top and put my hand in to test the extent of the assumed decay and got slashed by something. I went to the hospital for tropical diseases that evening as Surrey had records of rabies in the bat population. I was advised to "make sure" it was a bat before the course injections. So back up the foamy tree to the holes: poked a stick in the top one and a damn grey squirrel shot out and proceeded to heckle me out of the tree
  19. Do the two mix safely? Have a customer with horses and was wondering if leylandii wood chip is safe for them?
  20. thats a decent sized box - what is the cubic metre capacity for chip?
  21. No. Not really. This is a shining example of dangerous carelessness, bad decision making and poor work practice. To go back to your original post it confirms nothing about whether they are (qualified and insured) trained professionals or not.
  22. sounds like a decent idea given that it's almost always the skin that fails long before the base, i think i'd go for a pair
  23. If you're not loosing a percentage of your quotes it's possible you may not be charging enough..
