  1. Give them a call they're pretty helpful
  2. I've accidentally severed a couple of copper lines and they were repaired foc. Had one which we had to repair while the neighbours were out. Customer never heard anything from them. Did a fibre line which was also repaired foc. Just tell the customer not to mention tree work, and the bt guys who come out don't give a stuff how it happened.
  3. Make sure they have plenty of ventilation. I.e. Air all round and raised off the floor on pallets
  4. I think it's a good thing to have for staff and very caring. However I think too many people have got sucked into a false world with social media where there is a huge amount of woke, virtual signalling shite which makes many people who can't see through it extremely sensitive and more likely to feel inadequate or easily offended, leading to issues in their head. There is also a lot of normalisation of awful things like self harm, eating disorders etc which often seem to be some weird attention seeking issue (I have a close family member with both of those issues and have pretty extensive close experience with her). Which seem to make it fashionable to have mental health issues so you can get your own way. When these people get a knock in the real world its a huge thing for them to cope with and they cave super easily. And how many people of adult physical age nowadays seem to be absorbed in childish crap like Disney and spend their life trying to seemingly be the best human in the room...always seems to be one person we somehow manage to employ who in order for us to be "inclusive" we would have to practically have a one eyed black disabled lesbian in every photo with our products. Then they get knocked over by the slightest breeze and claim mental health issues when they actually do need to grow a pair. All this turn sadly clouds over real mental health issues which come from really tough times such as when running a business or people dying who are close to you etc and those people get less attention as the NHS has endless 4 year olds who think they are toasters rather than the human which was born a girl so therefore needs to stay a girl coming knocking on their door. My take on things anyway.
  5. We have lots of Leylandi around our garden and some were cut right back to the trunks as it had died off from a shed being against it, and it sprouted through from the other side of the hedge. That said, it's not been well kept the other side (just a field that side) so it's quite open, if both sides are well trimmed you probably won't have much luck.
  6. How much of the business is about you, and how much have you systematised so that it can run without you? Do you have the confidence to get the employee who wants to buy the business to become the manager and you look at splitting the profits? The good will in a business is often hard to measure, but things like a good spread of customers, rather than 1 or 2 contracts bringing in majority of revenue, and multiple streams, like firewood and woodchip sales all help to drive the value up. If the business relies on you as a person to be there to make money then its not worth much at all.
  7. Sure I read advice once, for box and privet to regularly trim the roots back with a sharp spade, but cant remember where I read it.
  8. Definately seems to be no shortage of munties / chinese water deer etc round here. Marshes we overlook has dozens on it.
  9. i disagree that it 'towers over the house' and is an accident waiting to happen but i'd definitely be removing if it was me and replacing with something nicer. And i doubt it would give any issues with the house.
  10. @Erik can you still get the 395 new for a sensible price?
  11. Tim Barber is in Bungay can't recall his company name +447769708879
  12. Bluebell Woods, Gorleston today, never seen such a thick carpet of em! Smell was amazing!
  13. Have a massive clear out and make it super tidy before photos are done and get a decent photographer to do them.
  14. I got a rhinox one for my tb016 and it has a replaceable tooth which is useful. Its hauled out some fair size hedges and trees. Seems well built.
  15. They'll have fun impounding it I reckon
  16. How old is your house then. And how long ago did you move in? Guarantee that tree predates anyone alive today by several decades.
  17. Beautiful tree. Leave it alone and move house if it's bothering you that much. And when you hack trees like the planes in your photo they either die or sprout back with vengeance in a couple of years. Oak would probably be the former.
  18. Way too teeny for milling. Might get some turners interested but wouldnt have thought it was worth much faffing.
  19. Used one at the gym and it definitely made a difference. Also doing a lot of pull ups made a big difference to my level of back pain after doing loads of climbing, probably the increased strength meant less work on my back
  20. Looks like Mick has decided on no doors.
