You have to laugh, we've had adverts for Austria , Canada , Australia , New Zealand etc and hardly a peep. We get one for Sierra leone and everyone wants to go !! Gluttens for punishment right enough us arbs

My door seals leak and I get a wet leg when the heavens open . Two years ago the gaps where that bad around the doors I actually woke up to a mini snow drift in my landy . On the other hand she'll pull up conifer stumps all day drag the chipper and trailer to the moon and back . Everytime she gets scratched and dented it just adds character

Did you read the fix for the door seals ? ... Putty covered by tape ... I agree we shall cry it character building

HI MATE yes they all let water in the new ones are the same jon i no it mad but that a land rover jon

Hi mate yep i dont mind getting wet during a job but not before i even get there!!

James I have to thank you very much , that was beyond the call of duty. Looks like I've bought a sive !! B+Q tomorrow i think

you got a sunroof? they always leak!

SUNROOF!!!! I wondered what that big yellow round thing in the sky was you see now and again

Drove a few hundred yards this morning and all of a sudden water starts dripping on my legs . Looked up and noticed it was coming out the interior light ! I stopped and popped open the lens and the heavens opened , well i reckon about a teaspoonfull came out . The only thing i can think of is its coming in the rear skylight seal and somehow making its way into the interior light. There hasnt even been any heavy rain which is a bit concerning . Is it worth sticking some silicon round the skylights or am i completely on the wrong track here ?

I have an 18m rope, I think it's actually the one I use most!

There would just have to be alot of pollards if we were to go to Aus !!!!

What... TWELVE metres...?

Sorry...? You mean double the length BEFORE I cut it up...?!

Your not that far off worcs , i do have a 15m one !!

Do you know how big some of the trees are over there?

Advice given out by an Ozzi arbtalker not that long ago was to ' bring DOUBLE the length of rope you use in the uk '

What a brilliant and beyond the call of duty post this is

Harris hawk being flown over our fields. 7 months old. Nice bird!

It looks like a very light or hybrid Goshawk Rob.

I think thats why the sentence was low, the judge knew that with that saw the chances of any one getting badly cut was very low

I was positive i saw some varnish off one of them barstools :lol:

Cant believe the judge only gave him 3years...... should have got 5 for using a McCulloch imo

Its not a sin to adjust your gob.

 

Once I've cut my gob I have good look to see if its right and if needs be I remove more from one side or the other to get it just right.

If he's got a new 20k hilux I,m sure he can work out the basic needs of a business .

 

Cool I should be asking Joe for advice

Me too :lol:

No disrespect intended

 

That would be crazy . How many of us started off with a 20k vehicle without first testing the water's . If Joe really want's to do this kind of work I,m sure he'll find a way . I think he's doing the right thing by asking on here first . Get some basic training couple of saws's and off you go and earn some dollars . Don't let all these crazy figures frighten you off your dream

I'm not telling you he might buy a new hilux i'm telling you he DID buy a new hilux, he posted the pics on here !! I agree go for it

Joe bought a new or nearly new hilux a few months back we'll say 20k . He is going to spend roughly 2.5k on tickets. We havent even looked at the extensive tools and equipment yet to even start competing with established tree firms. Get real chaps .

Been asked before this question and somebody replied with £30k which i reckon wouldnt be far out.

Just buy another saw and keep the 070, tell the misses after your purchase and only when you need her to stay in to meet the courier - that's what I do, always works - if she really kicks up, take her to the local for a plate of fish and chips:thumbup:

Who said romance was dead ? :lol:

Hi Pete , I'm a huge fan of the Grand tours aswell . There was a question on here recently asking what arboriculture was . In a nutshell its man interfering with nature either in a good or bad way i may add but interfering none the less.

 

 

He was rather good at it. Apparently they didn't use different maps until GPS etc. came in Which is rather impressive given he just had a furry hat, a sextant and pencil. I have some copies of his North west territories maps on the wall, very detailed and a very good talking point!

 

Now why arent people like that honoured ? It does my head in . What an impressive find that was Sam.

On interesting explorers, my Grandmother (who spends lots of time looking at family trees) has found a pretty solid link to David Thompson, the geographer. His brother married someone who gave birth to my great great someone or other... I think it's rather cool that my ancestor mapped most of Canada!

DAVID THOMPSON !!!! Your possibly looking at one of possibly the greatest geographer of all time . The accuracy of his mapping of Canada still astounds experts to this day . Now there is a guy i would call Sir !!

Was working with Guss109 from on here today and we both described conditions as humid , it was freaky.

 

 

And saved you skirt wearers a heap of pastings :001_tt2:

 

I suppose it would have Sam

Just watched it, very moving, first time I have cried on a Saturday night in ages, well with city playing tomorrow like, ha,ha:)

Me and the wife bubbling aswell . Superb film.
