  1. In a nutshell
  2. Ah it's nice when it all works out in the end
  3. Thanks! Been sent home now induction tomorrow they say but who know eh? I could probably do it some time during the week but it just depends on when she pops the little blighter out. For all I know she could be in labour for the next few days . . . sorry it's so vague
  4. Nice I like how the vid is done, bit different
  5. I would love to mill that but im in hospital waiting for my wife to be induced
  6. Do you think you could put a spotlight on it say with a green bulb? Then you could flick the switch when she puts the bins out at night
  7. If that's the case I would put a semi chisel chain on and take a good file with me and make sure I don't make more cuts than I need to But that's just me
  8. Would be great to see some pics of the job (before/during/after) Not worked on a fire damaged tree before I guess it's hard to give tips without seeing at least a couple pics of the tree to see how bad it is what room you have to fell etc
  9. Modern arboriculture - page 182 Quote- Many trees that should not leave the nursery, do; in grate numbers. Problems are planted: included bark between two major stems (1), multiple stems with included bark (2),multiple leaders (3), low stem unions with included bark (4). Specifications should be written to avoid these common poor forms. Modern arborists should work with landscape designers and developers, and cities, and with the best trees for the correct sites. Some defects may be corrected by early pruning. Most of the time, the poor forms cannot be corrected. Included bark appears to be under moderate to strong genetic control in some trees. Do not buy or sell trees that have flush cut branches, tops removed, pruning cuts that leave long branch stubs or leader stubs, painted wounds, trunk covered with some warping, cracks, cankers, and wounds would you buy a car or any product that had obvious defects? Then, why do we buy trees that have them? (and, let the nursery know you won't buy them!) That is straight out the book.
  10. I can't see the picture for some reason Sounds big tho
  11. And they left it right to the last minute Good luck mate
  12. I'm not sure shigo would like those specimens
  13. I live in Kent and the oaks in the field behind me are covered in the stuff I think they are about 15/20 years old
  14. Will have to print that off
  15. Keep the hilux! . . . . get rid of the mrs . . Can vouch for the trooper I have an isuzu bighorn it's great To save I think you would have to get something smaller and it's not going to do the same job. Hilux all the way
  16. Its funny how the advocates of ladders are also those who post about going to the gym or what exercises are best for keeping fit for tree work Sounds like a "loaded" statement there huck :lol:
  17. That's bonkers Do you have a hedge trimmer on your balls?
  18. That would be a great job "learn while you earn" I have worked for a few people that are "tree surgeons" but not really interested about trees but more about £ (thats fine if that's what you want) but IMO you can't beat working for someone whos got that knowledge and enthusiasm to pass onto you Good luck to whoever gets it Wrong side of the m25 for me
  19. I got an alistec off Rob D it's ace I was getting tired of hitting metal in domestic trees and also like the odd bit of milling it works great for Saves time not having to resharpen saws after hitting stuff and the chain lasts longer I'd say it's well worth the money

  24. You live and learn See if you can sort it out if not just take it as a lesson Like you said about the underpriced thread - we all mess up, just try to do it less as we get wiser
  25. It would have to be chucking it down all day for me to stop working Sit in the truck and wait for it to pass if it's a heavy shower
