Quality! Here's your box now get back in it mr father in law sir, now goodnight!
-
Some people think they work hard, some are right some aren't. Maybe father in law does work hard but maybe being humble and supportive instead of being a p***k about you doing so and being tired would be better! I thought I worked hard but that rap sheet for one day is impressive, good lad. What's your day rate?
-
Haha, the country isn't that big it's just fuel costs and basic lodging costs in the UK that can kill working away. For your info we have a TR6, ranger supercab tipper, transit double cab tipper, couple of rigging kits and a fair collection of saws etc. All well maintained and everything but the vehicles is fairly new. We aren't the sort to turn up with just enough kit fingers crossed!

If only you were in South Yorkshire! However for a block of work, say three days minimum I would be interested if I could make the figures work given lodgings and travel expenses. Give me a call if you struggle to find a local gang 07925319595. Sorry miss-read message, will call tomorrow.

I understand your position eggs as I have a couple of acquaintances/friends who are travelers/gypsies and they are tree surgeons of the qualified and bs3998 adhering variety. However I think members of all communities, theirs included, conduct a little fly tipping and all get branded with the same iron when judgement is passed by authorities or those living nearby. It's a crying shame and very few are willing to shout that people of every walk or type of society are guilty in equal part for many things.

Sturgeon is the answer for a day in a mewp for me mr egg. So yes same effect for me sometimes.
-
Hardly used a mewp, either because one couldn't get there when the job could afford it and other times because I live in the dearne valley and to mewp everything I would like to would see me out of business and driving for eddie stobbart or his competitors and I don't want to do that (nothing against those that do).

What he said for loler purposes and obviously how it is used and how much plus how it is stored will have an effect on this.
-
My favourite saying is I can break anything, but that is impressive even by my standards and I've broken main battle tanks!
-
Like your suggestion rich used that technique a few times and it works great if you remember to redirect your climbing line appropriately if not it gets embarrassing for the bloke who suggested it (me usually). Alternatively a third rope with a crab or pulley on the end attached to the main rigging line anchored over a crotch dropping the tail within gasp of the climber works and also gives the advantage of another rigging linen if needed.

I'm going, not been for the past couple. Looking forward to it hopefully bump into a few characters and chat to a few, I will be the daft bugger ferrying bags of goodies to my truck sweating about how much I've spent. You can take the boy out of Yorkshire but you can't take Yorkshire out of the boy!

That will make a lovely meal in a couple of months Mull!
-
They clearly heard you were about to fell that TPO'd betula so sent noddy in his modern health and safety compliant roll cage fitted vehicle to apprehend the villain!
-
Northern arb at Sheffield do a next day collection and delivery service. I use them and they are good value.
-
Yes they are the ones and I'm with mark on this, just don't cut near your toes and when working in dense undergrowth keep wriggling them so you know where they are if you are of the persuasion to forget that toes are attached to feet which are in turn attached to legs which are in turn directly under you when standing.

I've always understood (based on hearsay) that chainsaw protection in boots is pretty much pointless because the tight sandwich between outer leather and inner lining prevents the long fibres from being drawn out and binding the sprocket as should happen when saw trousers are caught with a moving chain. That said I wear them because I can't through the risk assessment process justify not doing. I currently have a pair of pfanner Tirol boots and they are proper boots, vibram sole screwed and stitched on. They've done a years graft and will be having a new sole shortly, no gimmicks no gore tex just waxed weekly and used to kick trees to bits!

I'm not a big bloke so smaller confectionary goods make me feel like a full size bloke, I'm all for it! Once size nine gloves are branded large not medium or small I will be a happy lad!
-
I just find 14in is just too big it's just not comfortable..... Oh right sorry top handle bar length, for me it's 12inch as it's easier to handle in tight spaces and once it's stripped and something bigger is needed a rear handle is easier to use. For example stripping eppi of a lime that been left for five plus years, no space and loads of cuts so the silky would not be cost effective.
-
I try and avoid pruning them full stop. As they are I believe a pioneer species,so their ability to seal the wound through CODIT is limited and as such they invite decay from a pruning wound. That said when I have pruned them I've never found an issue with bleeding apart from just before or during sap rise, however every betula I've done and driven past a year or two later is showing a healthy bit of rot at the cut point. Maybe I'm just crap at the final cuts!
-
What about a sub contract team? Allows you to keep working and have another team working to your spec and company name making you money for no expense.
-
I know a large firm operating in brum pay £150 per day for subbies. Thats providing your own PPE and climbing kit if you're a climber and driving to the yard for 0715 and knocking off rigidly at 1625-1630.
-
I know it's three photos but at some of these prices I need to leave the dearne valley! Or maybe I need to just relax about winning work or maybe that's why I'm busy until September because I'm a mug?
-
The thing is acclimatisation aswell, to us the current heat is extreme if it was a constant average we wouldn't even notice. When in Afghanistan after four to six weeks it was still bloody hot and awful but you started to find it normal and dealt with it better and the need to throw water down your neck rapidly and constantly become less. Beware too much water and washing the salts out, dioralyte or rehydrate tablets in at least one of your bottles is a must for me.
-
Exactly but worth considering and if that's the solution and you've thought of it prior then when under pressure you will do it. Not all of us work amazing under pressure and a bit of pre thinking can be time well spent. I do like your practical approach you clearly think like me.

Type c's today and I would have been safer in cotton hi vis trousers. Guess what we are wearing tomorrow and only putting saw trousers on when we have to? the first person to pick up a saw and use it without having the right keks on will ruin it for us all, woe betide that individual!
