boards outside were you are working. if client is happy ask first. van advertising. portfolio of work you have undertaken. so new clients can see your work you have done. paper advertising costs. flyers may get 1% from all you post through doors its word of mouth and recommendations that bring in the work. its a hard slog but it does start to trickle in once you have done a few jobs. with the TV showing shoddy workman. people are wary of trying tradesman they do not know if you have a cv of happy customers who are willing to recommend you then you will get the work.

do not know if any one saw a programme during the week about the fire fighters in the brazilian rain forest guy from uk went over to work with them. the amount of forest fires burning most started to get rid of the trees to turn it into agriculture land. and due to the deforestation of the rain forest the rest is becoming dry now as humidity has dropped so it is catching fire more easy.

so it will need to dry out for some time before i can use it. pay to look for some seasoned stuff and use that.if i do do it will put some before and after. looking at doing it just to see the finished job. even if it turns out a freebe. just for the satisfaction of doing it

if there still ok will stop the saw dead and you will be hooking out the kevlar from the saw.

that tax will be to pay the grant to bring back derelict woods back by paying landowners with woods to look after them. we live in a mad country that they tax the wood coming out and hand it back for it to come out.

can any one explain what HD4 is have some dragons teeth to fit and they are HD4 treated and garentee for 15 years. have to say some of the tanilised muck coming out is not worth it. hence i go to a local timber mill and there products are all top notch. and match or price is better than the big boys.

re the kubota local large landscape firm have one and heard very good reports about it will lift up and tip into a transit tipper. and cuts very fast so can do jobs very quick. as for price no idea but bet not cheap.

yes efco and oleo mac the same. i had there bigger saws had no problem with them last 10 years before they died heard the echo top handle is good. why not get a cordless no fuel ideal up a tree let go stop pull rigger they start no pulling to start. got to be the way forward up a tree.

+1 if its not to bad the insurance have said its not worth spending on just have it back let them pay out and have it fixed. or sell it off for spares. so make more money thats all the insurance will do pay out sell it and it will be fixed or stripped for spares

some very good jobs any customer seeing your work need not go elswere for the job top class. you would win a gold at chelsea with your work. out of interest what did you lign the pond with did you use clay. and the walled garden by any chance was it in Hampshire looks very like a job i was on and that looked good.
-
if you are going to use in saws then just use aspen i switched between pump and aspen my echo was a pig i now only use aspen nothing else and it runs brill. i find my saws run far better on it. have to prove they run longer but look like they do. next is ride on just got it. running on pump at present when its empty will run on aspen 4 and see what difference it makes.

i do not know what a peck is like from a parakeet but my cockatoo if he nips you know it draws blood. and it hurts. gave a friend once a prince albert when sat on his lap:blushing: the little ones still got a good beak for breaking open fruit stones. best of luck watch your ears and other sensitive bits.

i went to the tyre place the other day re new tyres and they had cooper tyres and i believe they were ST will check my facts but cheaper than the BF. and 4x4 police using them now as a good tyre off and on road. so looking at going down the cooper route when i need a new set if i am correct approx £90 a tyre including fitting. will go to comercial tyre place and do some proper finding out re coopers. be cheaper than place in town with 3 letters
