  7. Yes I did it . I bugs me though when it could have been so simple .
  8. I quoted for a job to dispose of a wind blown tree in a blokes garden . The guy said its too much . my gardener will do it . I said fare play , that's fine . Three weeks later I got a call . " can you come and clear up this tree my gardener has made a start so should be cheaper than your original quote . Well I thought ok you are a nice bloke I will come back again and have another look . The price I gave him was more than my original quote . The " gardener " had stripped the stick and piled all the brash every wich way and to about 6" long . This is a nightmare to sort and put through the chipper . ( should have stacked it blunt end first and as long as possible ) on top of that there was his ( the gardener ) garden center chain saw stuck in the stick where he had no idea of the tension and compression involved in the fallen trunk . The job was 2 maybe 3 times as long totally necessarily because he thought the gardener was helping to keep the cost down .

  18. Ask them if they would condone you breaking the rules by taking the brash away and burning/chipping it somewhere else . And could you please have it in writing .
