Someone? A bit of an understatement:lol: It's hardly a bit of petty cash involved or off the books work. The examples in NI appear, to my un-educated eye, to be blatant fraud. Edit: Connie bashing or surfing..... tough choices.

Bit awkward when your grandmother arrives for Christmas!

I wonder how long that Lidl/aldi add is going to run for, with the free range 'happy turkeys'?

advice needed for removing wood and brash from steep garden
Gary Prentice replied to flatyre's topic in General chat
Or put an ad on Gumtree - stipulating it's free firewood but the brash has to be removed too! -
Would these 'funds' amount to thirty quid a week? Come on Kevin, admit it. I don't think you actually do any tree work:001_tongue: The expression ' couldn't run a ..... in a brewery' comes to mind, when you start to look at the instigators, organising and running these schemes.

Are RHI payments taxable?

Lvl 6 Diploma w/ Tree Life - Barcham (2017)
Gary Prentice replied to Kveldssanger's topic in Training & education
Wouldn't you be better off of arbtalk and getting on with your own coursework?:001_tt2: Good luck Chris, it's actually even worse than everyone says. But you're used to writing, have a v. good library and I know you'll be committed, so you'll do fine. I've got an extra year to complete, the big C does have some benefits:biggrin: -
Par for the course it seems. I've been involved with two clients whose neighbours have employed someone to fell trees on their land.

Worst tree bark for setting spikes in.
Gary Prentice replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in Climbers talk
Dawn redwood on borrowed (long gaff) spikes, I did today. Struggled like mad to get them out. -

Gary Prentice replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in Climbers talk
Dead elm, either as hard as nails or huge plates of bark skewered to one foot, so you have to stand on one foot and shake it off -
Did you ask her to ring a taxi? Or could ya remember where you were?

The remaining branches look like they're nearly 1/3 the diameter of the stem, does that count?

Fair bit of admiration for the trailer too

Well, that's your card well and truly marked! Tax and vat inspectors ordering latex gloves as we speak:biggrin:

Just going back through the last seven pages, the OP asked the question, replied to a couple of posts 21 hrs ago and hasn't been seen since:biggrin: Probably read through and wished he'd never asked:lol:

Maybe this thread would have run in a different direction if it had been about a second bridge for work positioning/climbing, rather than as a safeguard against failure by cutting.

I just knew you was a closet capitalist Mr J, grinding the working man down:001_tongue:

I'll admit that I did when I got my first floating bridge, after many many years of a carabiner single point attachment. Initially, I lacked trust in the integrity of the bridge and added a rope bridge -for about two days! While we're re-inventing the wheel, I'd like to present my idea for new chainsaw PPE. This will allow one-handed chainsaw use - solving that issue. Admittedly, tree climbing and general movement may be a bit of a problem!

And drive round in s/h fiesta's instead of hilux's!

Called a weed down here!

Definitely well spread by the time it was officially confirmed in the uk
