Agreed generally 6weeks after flowering is when I tend to go over them , just strim around or mow close to them if need be

Dan

Myself I would quote £320 a day for two men , including fuel for cutters etc

Do an hourly rate .. £20 easily

And then add a few hours ontop to cover the fuel costs etc

8-4 = £160 x 2 = £ 320 this would include fuel etc and if you feel your mate deserves a bit extra because he's worked hard then there's extra there

However if you feel it'd take say two days , drop your daily price a bit by say £20 a day taking it to say £300 a day . Never be too greedy dropping it by £20 could secure you the job .

My fs55 with the bullhorns seems pretty suitable for me and I think there around £300 ish , defiantly worth getting the harness aswell saves your arms on those larger jobs .

I'm quite lucky my local suppliers will not sell to the public only company's until there is enough in stock for everyone .

Some company's forget there regular customers ie tradesmen have bills to pay and without the materials for the job because they've sold them to some old joe off the street which really p****s us off .

Big wait atmo for standard panels , close board can get easy bt people dnt wanna pay the extra

Here is a few snaps taken within the last few weeks of some work carried out by myself

The guy I work with normally has a small head and was unable to get a climbing helmet to fit him properly. He got one recently that is better. I think it was a Petzl one he got from a rock climbing place and he's managed to get ear defenders on it but not a visor. But he uses a pair of mesh specs instead.

 

If you send him a message he'll be able to tell you exactly which helmet he bought. He's "SEAN TYNAN" on here.

Normally has a small head ?! Does it change in the weather ? hehe

Il have to give them a look mate as waste is one of my highest bills as with most probably 90% of us on here

No worries mate , we all know how you feel

I recommend some of the tool shows or tool auctions , might be able too pick up a good bargain

Cheers Danny, as I thought quite a lot more then I pay. If your interested I can pm over the details for where I tip, it's located in Odiham not sure if you would want to travel that far?

I'm in Aldershot area so I'm half way between the two really , is that the farm where you tip mate ? Downfarmodiham ??

Dan

Scrape off old turf

Rotorvate if the soil is of good quality and remove any large stones rocks etc

Roller area and remove lumps and bumps

Fluff up the soil with a light raking and scatter a thin layer of sharp Sand over the whole area

Lay your first row of turf

Don't walk over the soil or the new layer turf use a plank of wood or board

Stagger the next row , ie : like when making a wall

Water regularly especially in the warmer weather , a sprinkler is best

Hope this helps mate this is what I tend to do however if I'm wrong someone please let me know

Dan

That's transit tipper towing a trailer my tipper doesn't weigh 3520 haha

Use it to coat fence panels etc , wouldn't recommend it at a customers house but at your own will be fine , just remember old oil is cancerous

Or just use it when having fires it will smoke but it's cheaper than petrol

Dan

Efco mate bloody good hedge cutters I have the one with the adjustable handle can't fault it !

It's that sharp I practically lost my finger when I first got it haha

Not sure on price as it was a birthday/Xmas present but I think there around £250-£300

Dan

No worries smudge1 , always like to help

Hopefully a pic with the weight and price I payed

Can't honestly remember il drag out an old recent receipt and see mate

Couple of daffodil bulbs mate and chuck in a few tulips whilst your at it ?

As above try Gunners I use them for my green waste and dad uses them for skips , reliable friendly and cheap

Yes the client wanted to reuse the old boards as they were only up 9 months, all new post and rails though

Ahhhh I see

I usually find customers need to be told what they want

Yeah true that actually , and also wonder why existing panels don't match colour wise with the new .... Say no more :L

Isit me or are some of those old feather boards ??

That's the way I do it plus capping rail

Yeah with or without capping , whatever the customer is willing to pay/prefer
