the hedge man

on a more serious note this one would make a great winter job selling firewood -would certainly have plenty to go at... if it wasnt so far I would have been tempted- transport kills firewood FIREWOOD - LOGS - APROX 300 + TONS MIXED CORDWOOD | eBay

this one made me giggle... fire wood logs | eBay wants someone to pay him to clear up his mess lol

he is taking the Micheal plain and simple. your young and your going to learn that there are alot of people in the world that would be happy you doing skilled work for free. Can't stand expoitation of the young and niave, my old gaffa was a right pain in the arse, I got minimum wage for a skilled job that he couldn't be bothered to do himself, what anniyed me as well is that he used to send me out to large site work by myself. there are always going to be these kind of guys around, suss them out then avoid them!

i think if you have kids, then time off is more rewarding. thankfully i dont have kids yet!

all sorted now, cheers guys

pm me details and day rate. prob only need a few hours with a few guys to smash it, once its on the ground i can clean up!

need a team (climber, groundie with chipper) with equipment next monday. its a lime tree thats quite large, and near a building so its not for the faint hearted! there's a good possibility it could be straight landed with a good rigging line and tow. pm for more details

good man!

from my experience they often get infection in a crack then it worsens from there, often with a large cavity in the trunk.

love spiltting elm, such a crisp wood to split- is a bit tougher than most though. wish i was nearer to you.

just had a week off this week at center parcs, and as much as I like spending time with the wife, I would rather be at work earning money! got so much to catch up on now!! who else is a work aholic like me?!

get drunk in the morning, have not thought of that one! I guess you would be sober by the time the missus gets home eh lol

worse fencing job was when I had some close board fencing next to footings of a bridge. there was so much concrete to break through when putting in the posts!! i was nearly crying that day lol

or simply when he passes wind. Lord rid me of these demons!!

going to pop a pic or two on here then?!

im intrigued by this also. please tell!

it's probably his banjo

£150 an hour rate, that bloody good!

this thread is giving me the heebie jeebies! when I was about 5 my dad used to like me and my brother to sleep in the spare bedroom downstairs as he used to work nights and didnt want disturbing. the spare bedroom used to be an large outbuilding but was incorporated into the main house. so one night soon after we were put to bed it was still light outside but suddenly the room became overcast and really cold, then from right the other end of the room a small figure around 5 feet apeared and moved slowly towards me and my brother who shared a bed. the figure was really quite bright and i was trying to figure out what it was, untill i was that freaked out i dare not look anymore. so i covered my eyes and when i opened them a few seconds later the figure was gone. my brother was looking too but he was a toddler and when i ask him he says he cant remember what happened it was uber weird and it still puzzles me to this day.

bit too wet for working today, so im doing some admin and quotes instead. looks like ill have to pick up the slack the rest of the coming week. funny thing is my old boss is by himself working round the back near where i live. he looks p1ss wet through lol

price it by the meter, thats what I do. plus it's a great way of giving the customer a quick quote on the spot when pricing per meter of hedging.

i was on a building site a number of years ago and i was paranoid as hell about my kit going missing, so of all places i popped my ms361 at the back of my truck on the access road whilst being at the back with the chipper. anyway one of the builders needed me to reverse out of the way of an incoming cement lorry. so i quickly said righto! hopped in the truck and proceeded to reverse, oh the scoring noise still haunts me when i drove over my beloved saw, argh. rather an expensive repair bill that was!

topping out some 40 foot connifers a couple of years ago i was too busy enjoying myself to notice that i hadnt put my strop around an adequate hasrness point, and oh dear the branch beneth me gave way at such speed and therefore my anchor point ripped out. im surprised i didnt break my ass that day as i broke every branch on the way down through the middle of the hedge, luckilly the hedge was not effected astheticly as it was the dead branches in the middle. i had a sore ass but crown jewels were unscathed, whoop.
