Ive not read the whole thread but have scanned through so apologies if this has already been raised. how would a potential insurance claim be effected if a wee balls up occurred whilst using a modded saw. would you have to tell the insurers like if you were driving a modded XR2? i dont remember there being a 'using a modified saw' section in my insurance application

I dont think there is any merit in telling him to stick his job up his arse (or similar) (although its very tempting) i really could do with the job obviously but the sky aint gonna fall in if i dont get it. i think ill explain politely that the the relationship i have with my supplier is my business and my quote is for labour and materials at MY price and he is free to shop around for cheaper materials if he so wishes. its not like im marking the prices up from retail im just selling them to him at the suppliers retail price. does anyone add a cheeky percentage to the cost of materials above their suppliers retail price?

ive just upgraded from a donated stihl fs90 which was a good machine but a bit puny for thicker stuff to an fs360 which has a lot more grunt for brambles, dock etc. its at the lower end of the stihl professional range but it does all i need it for which is similar to what you described in your OP.

all good advice cheers fellas

yeah i sent him my itemised price but he wants to see printed quotes for materials from the supplier.....could get a bit tricky.

Alright guys n gals. I priced a job recently for re-turfing a front lawn and putting in a new 3' boundary fence. I quoted £x for the job in total including materials. I get a little discount from my supplier but i see that as my discount not the clients. he wants a detailed breakdown of costs with paperwork from the supplier and as you can gather im a bit reluctant to do this as it will show the materials as being cheaper and my labour seem expensive....... what do you guys make of my dilemma??

piss on your feet in the shower. Good for atheletes foot.

I used to have to clean pigeon **** off the seats at tranmere rovers. i do miss the good old days hahaha

Im gutted i think i missed the previous thread. theyre always good for a bit of entertainment are davids threads..........

I ran all the cheap chinese shite on 50:1 with no engine problems

I had a cheap chinese brushcutter and hedge trimmer to start up with. I put em both to work and hoped they earned me enough to upgrade when they went kaputnik. Kaputnik they both (predictably) went and sure enough they had earned me enough to get the better (yet not the best) gear I wanted. folks may call yr gear good for the bin but if you look after it, persevere and with hard graft and a bit o luck you will get the better kit which will eventually earn you your living.

I bought one after seeing em on this thread. More than made its money back. Great little purchase if a little fiddly.

yeah im onto that. if i dont get what i think i need soon, im going to pay to go private

i literally stood up and felt a pop at the very bottom right of my back, was pretty much immobile for a few days. still laid up almost 3 wks later. waiting for my referral to see the back doctor.

i fancy some new sunglasses and a pair of decent headphones too........
