Nice one. Cheers for the exercise suggestions. Need to get rid of the Christmas lard!
-
Looking at getting one of these. Battery life seems good then. Must be useful to communicate effectively with groundies? Also able to start a job earlier due to the lack of noise? An early start means an early finish...usually

If it's for a big company why can they not offer payment for a professionals time - time is money ;-)

I'd advise him to go on an 'occassional chainsaw users' course. That way the training you may offer doesn't conflict with the business of you felling for him. I would'nt want any grey areas having showed someone how to use a chainsaw. He would probably enjoy the course anyway

I'm going to check weight transferrence everytime always. That left a lump in the throat. Hope he's on the mend

1/2 day Thu 7th March North Oxford. Simple reduction on a Willow. Own transport desirable but may be able to pick up. Own climbing kit (loler'd), top handle saw, ppe, CS30/31/38/39 essential. Possible further work. Please call Alex on 07593926997 (competitive rate)

well done! :-)

Cheers everyone for your input - all good stuff. Your Rottweiler is cool!! Meeting with the TO soon - will follow up then for those interested. Cheers -
Interesting pics MattyF but on a quick (initial inspection) we did the other day they look pretty healthy. Noted though, cheers
-
Thanks Paul, all good info. I was wondering whether removing all of them and re-planting may be an option. I'd certainly enjoy watching them grow year on year (haven't done anything on this scale before and would certainly leave my mark). They do look great but just too tall for the client/s at the moment.
-
Thanks for everyones input by the way - I will post before and after photos of work that is carried out that gets the go ahead
-
No the right to light didn't sound appealing to him . He's a pleasant guy so should be able to work something out. Removal of 8 of them? Do you think he may go for that? Cheers stoner
-
Fingers crossed a sizeable reduction can be done, a) to make it worth while and b) so the client/s won't need it doing again soon after. Removal and re-planting could be an option that I hadn't thought of and could suggest - thanks. I will do an assessment Nick - cheers for your input. Al

A nice way of saying cutting them in half then Regeneration could be an issue - a swapping of foliage Cheers Pete

16 Poplars in a row at the rear of 5 homes. The residents want more light into the garden. On a breif inspection they look healthy and I can see the customer's point about wanting them reduced. The root system is ploughing lines through the client's garden and pushing up fences. Looking to meet with the Tree Officer soon on site (who has been helpful). Wondered whether people think he will allow a 50% reduction and what could support the client's case? Cheers, Al

Hi Alex, dropped you a text. Thanks, Al

:lol:

They would start bringing guns with them to theive things as well though and shoot people to get it...

Good points Jamie, I think the video is rather more a selection of clips/vox pops that aim to support the NRA's approach to things (cherry picked from a PR MEWP ). People protesting about gun laws in this country are right to if it is for hunting/farming. In those respects it is a tool used for a job. Shoot pests, shoot game/food is fine I reckon. I don't know the ins or outs either when the 2 countries are compared. I don't need a gun so I don't have one, if I was a farmer or shot game/for food I probably would though. To many Americans seem to own them just to show off and act tough in my opinion. Not all though of course...Arnie

yr black beard could do with a trim in that pic

Yr advice on hedge cutting/pricing has been much appreciated - I've swotted up ready for the spring - some of yr posts on AT are great. I would go for a payment plan. I can't see them turning it down as yr being honest and must have always paid in the past. From their point of view you are being upfront and offering something. Fingers crossed for better weather this year. Good luck dude. Al
