Can anyone rewcomend some chainsaw trousers please
hedgesparrow replied to sasha.p's topic in General chat

she has 4 carers a day to look after her how can she look after the dog. just say that she is unable to look after a dog of this size. and that for the dogs welfare you have had it adopted and is now living in the countryside. going for walks every day. i did think of a cat but if she is overfeeding the dog then cat will be worse off. just got to be true full to her and tell her what you have done and why. can always get the new owners to send her photos which do not reveal were dog is with a letter saying how she is getting on what the dog has been doing. think you will find she will appreciate this and accept it. not a easy thing to do

re insurance if you have like for new send them a copy of what its cost to replace should get what you paid out do not send original they have knack of loosing them. but as other post stick to your guns and get what you paid out. hope they do get them and maybe your old gear back but thats a miracle if that happens. -

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.

+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
