  2. Another reason I like working for myself... Today I have having a day out to spend with my other half to celebrate her birthday, tonight out for a nice family meal. Happy Days
  3. You could go bankrupt but your unlikely to get finance with a company which has less than 3 years accounts in its own name, therefore you would have to add yourself to the agreement which would then mean they would have recourse back to you if you pulled the plug. If you did that, and got away with it through not paying it back, it would effect your credit score and ability to get finance or loans in the future. In short, you did the best thing, both legally, morally and financially
  4. Mark I have directed Howard Waters towards this post of Green Hand Gardens GREEN HAND GARDENS: Home maidstone He has his own grinder as well. J
  5. Mark have you tried or ever used George at Duce Stump Grinding? DUCE Stump Grinding Services | Tree Stump Grinding and Stump Grinder Hire Use them for all my bigger stump work rather than doing it myself with a hired machine. Not sure if he goes that far but might be worth a call?
  6. I'd have the pink just because it supports cancer awareness - just think of the talking point too, everyone will ask about it. Think id be inclined to put a sign and arrow on the back of the truck pointing the chipper to explain the colour though!
  7. Everyone has their own circumstances and reasons to be on benefits, some have disabilities, others have suffered loss of a love one who was the main bread winner. For me personally I don't believe we should judge the person but the system which allowed them to claim benefits, especially if they do not have any formal right to them. Personally I would hate to be on them, I know people who are and they find it degrading to have to live on money which comes into them on a specific date, much of which is going straight back out for housing or clothing or food on table. Many of them would prefer to be working out there in the community but the jobs are not there or over subscribed. Above all else, if anyone here fell on bad times and they could not work then at least there is a fall back, albeit if some seemingly abuse the system.
  8. There are quite a few threads on here already on this, such as: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/49990-anyone-made-arbor-trolley.html Keep meaning to get round to welding up the design we came up with a few months back but money has been committed elsewhere since.
  9. I'd shop around more if I were you, there was a severe local shortage when all the gales were around but not any more and everyone around here has massive stock once more.
  10. Get a Greenmech .... ...here we go again.......
  11. Dean, isn't it also a requirement that the discharge chute does not rotate the full 360 degrees so as to protect the user feeding the machine?
  12. love the throttle position, just where it will get knocked down in revs every time you get a brashy oddity enter the hopper. CE, i doubt it
  13. Plus a good paint brush will push out stuck in dust and grime. Plastics i tend to soak in Fairy washing up liquid and then blast with the air line and that shifts yet more dirt. Have used petrol, brush cleaner, Cif (Jif as many would know it used to be called ) and wd40 on some parts in the past to shift ground in dirt but always rinsed and blow gun dried.
  14. Nice I'll take the one in the middle please Of course I meant the green chipper......
  15. I quite agree for small items of 10 minutes or so. Any larger 'Could you just' jobs, I usually say not today we can't no but I will happily quote you for it for another day - they usually have no issue with this and I always have it in writing that way.
  16. Great work, well done
  17. https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/video/playlist/storyful-trending-videos/magic-tree-rises-stand-again-085911661.html won't mention the lack of root plate tethering...
  18. I picked up my dads spade when i was a boy and he said since ya holding it ya might as well dig with it... I dug... a lot. When I was older, and considered responsible, I picked up my dads chainsaw, needless to say he said since ya holding it ya might as well use it ... i logged up... a lot. Now I'm the one working and he's retired I bring home lots of wood from jobs and unload it, whilst unloading the other day he said since ya holding it ya might as well process it... somethings never change........
  19. Hey Rob Designed in my head and built on site from stock timber by me, simple design really. I have built two and 5 bay versions and smaller one metre cubed sized ones for gardens. Cheers, James
  20. Built these for a client some years back now, all built out of 4x4 posts and 6x2" nailed on. Built in a day, lasts for years. Hope these pics work!
  21. Paul, out of interest is there any workshops planned for the south east / Kent areas? I am tentatively thinking about looking at becoming AA approved contractor. Thanks, James
  22. Thank you for your honest appraisal Big J They are short due to the only way to exit the back garden with them was on a sack barrow and boy are they heavy. Seemed a shame to commit them to the fire wood pile. Will try a few local wood turners, if anyone here still wants them pm me an offer.
  23. Assuming you haven't tried them before: Hire Wood Chippers near Kent, Essex and Sussex | Kent Plant Hire Never used them but heard good things.
  24. And if anyone wants to buy it, I am in Kent and Pm me ?!?
  25. Hi all Thank you for all your replies, I like the general consensus of the yes vote To answer a few questions. Client is aware of the on going maintenance of the tree once pollarded. It would be a great shame to remove it completely. It is not between the buildings as such but in the back gardens on the fence line. It does almost go over the roofs of the properties though so gives an idea to its size. The branch failure happened in poor weather, yes one could argue the rest of the tree could stand fine for years but the client who asked us to carry out the works cannot have the 'risk' over and next to a rented block of flats. I visited the site again today, there are some branches low down which will stay so hopefully that will help the cause. The buds haven't opened as much as my mate said they had so hopefully we can book this in for the next two weeks and have a result with the job and tree. No signs of major issues with the tree, but there is some rot within the branch which failed - which explains its failure really! Hopefully will follow this up in the next few weeks with some pics of the job, will be having Tom Cannon's Omme on the job so should be good Thanks again all James
