  1. fair play why not try asking on here i reckon someone on hear could sort you out and chances are its been looked after
  2. we had an old lady today walk round the barriers around the little coned walk way we had set out and walk down the white line of a busy road not a care in the world while we were chipping we shouted her to watch out as there was a car driving right behind her she just smiled and cracked on down the road gobsmacked is an understatement
  3. logs we use alpha dot on all are kit thousands of tiny dots all over every nuck and cranny all alfa dot stuff is registered on a data base. but i would go with what Mr Blair said if you can justify a new saw do it you don't know what your buying and if they have had the right fuel mix in etc i see your in manchester look up skyland equipment in liverpool there pretty good like.
  4. thanks mate it was double skin at 1st he wanted a chimney breast in the centre of it soon changed that though a gang of brickeys gave him a price and were dam right ripping them off a lady who worked there asked me to go have a look so i gave them a good price as its a good course and something thats close to my heart. sod them if a bloke who can do driveways and erect fences under cut a load of tree surgeons on a tree am doing there brickwork
  5. finished even did the block paving
  6. you mite of started a new thread here lol i know its not sand stone like served me time as a bricklayer before i joined the army and kept my hand in over the years did this wall in a center for special needs people. with random recess so they can put candles and hang their artwork
  7. thats not a bad effort at all. i would pay for that
  8. well am running with the electric fence idea got 30 m on a roll the site is going to be a tighter than a harbor area with a platoon of angry infantry men trying to get there heads down. cant wait to put that in the risk assessment
  9. yer and more stuff for the public to move out of there way which just inconvenience them even more.....
  10. wooooo suns come out. get the yard with speed of a thousand ghazals and the te saw bench fired up
  11. i would go with what tom said go with your machine show them how you expect it to be used/ looked after i think you will know in your heart if there sound or not maybe have a deposit or document draw up or terms and conditions have it signed that they understand if it's abused they get the bill. having excavators myself i will not let them leave the yard without me as a driver or the few people i trust to go with it no self drive it breaks my heart when you see hired in machined getting hammered by untrained monkeys .

  16. what happened with that apart from the obvious .
  17. well the thinking is that we do plenty to justify it and doing the "standard way" sometimes you just need that extra option and would of been bloody handy last week taking limbs off that where intertwined in fone wires
  18. just watched a yank on youtube pull over a back leaner and suspend it in the air and logged it up and just slowed it to the floor. do like the look of them seeing the feed back off them
  19. anyone had any hands on or own GRCS ? anygood ? worth money ? other similar kits ? prices etc
  20. i get some of you guys saying let them crack on its their inherent right and all that and thats fine. but as professionals we do have a duty of care to keep them as safe as possible. thats the reason for the signage and the banks man etc. we have tried all approaches with people being nice pointing out there wrongs etc. i mite get slated for this however i would definitely consider using force to remove someone out of a danger area if they where going to cause a danger to themselves or the lads. its a problem that will never go away and we will just have to deal with it.
  21. love mine (red) super easy to move around and work in all day only problems is the zips are on upside down witch dose me head in an the lining in one of the pockets isn't to strong
  22. the 4610 is a megger bit of kit bit old but still dose the job i used to drive one before it went bang used it for mowing and rowing up hay and then load with an 8 bale grab even humped grain trailers full
