  1. Spot on, 10/10 but 1 point deducted for using a husky ! ;-) so 9/10
  2. Nothing like a mossy beech in the rain for your first branch walk ;-) Try a nice looking oak over a lombardi!

    Got to talking to another patient in the pain clinic who swore by cbd oil (no thc & not illegal) in a vape. It didn't stop the attacks but it put a lid on it. Only way I can describe mine is an electrical storm arcing on my flesh, with my skull molten hot whilst feeling each layer of skin burn & a 12mm drill bit being drilled into my head at 3 different points. I've had kidney stones, been stabbed & had my appendix burst... Nothing comes close to TN Stay away from amitriptylene!!! But back to the op, the NHS is great not perfick but we'd all be fecked without it!
  4. Fair enough & each to their own, cheers. Let's be fair, the self employed amongst us always want to do it 'their' way.. Guess that's why we're self employed! :-)
  5. Calm down darling! I can use Google & I did, looks like a nice bit of kit... If you're in the woods & shifting cordwood. Argocat twas the only thing with 8x8 that came to mind. So you'd hire one in for this job would you?!

    Thanks I'll have to ask about this! I've suffered with trigeminal nerve neuralgia for about 10 years now. The only pain relief that works are tramodols not nice side effects or cannabis ingested with no side effects. All the nerve blockers make me feel like a zombie. Does stress trigger it? Mine started shortly after my wife died, consultant reckons 80% of sufferers will never find the exact reason for it. Mine may be due to a trapped / broken nerve in my jaw but the jury's still out on that one. Came very close a few years ago to have the op where they cut the nerve at the back of the head but talk to someone who has had it done first! They don't call it the suicide condition for no reason! Wish you both all the best :-)
  7. What a load of tosh! I've been on plenty of jobs where an argo cat or similar would have been useful & this wouldn't be one of them... At the end of the day it's a conifer hedge In a garden. &would the hire cost even be viable?!
  8. Lol, I too must find time to tinker with the yzf & also some carpentry in the camper :-)
  9. Under 32" ... Are you thinking more ride on mower!?!
  10. Twas the last one of the day so no over thinking, no messing around just get it on the deck & hit the pub! ;-)
  11. More 'find the hinge' than rate it!
  12. Precisely Pete
  13. Nowt wrong with high back cut considering back Leaner! Stump low as possible 2pts Nice landrover 4pts Extra 3 bonus points if hinge was intentionally thicker on jack side So 9 points but did you really need all those wedges? ;-)

    No, probably not but have no other choice so I hope it's a gamble that pays off! ;-) + work picked up & didn't want it backing up & me getting behind, cheers for your comments - you are right

    Lucky you, I've been waiting for 7 months for my hernia op. Had pre op scheduled for 19th December & going by ombudsman guidelines i should have op within a month so I've been cramming in as much work as I can because I don't know how long I'll be off work for & the buggers cancelled last week & my hernia hurts constantly now cos I've been flat out!.... Grrrrrrr Hope you have a speedy recovery
  16. What the hell where you searching for in the first place!?!
  17. Get on it mate, tipping front basket yes?
  18. Never done it & certainly wouldn't base my business model on it! I was approached when I was quiet & I considered it & would probably in the future if it was very local & ash. If you have the space netted logs can be high profit ;-)
  19. If I had of done then I would've done it on my own, dropped her in one, snedded up & leave brash for bonfire , split & netted up in the yard with the Mrs & into polytunnel for 6 months. I have no shame in making money from wood in any shape or form . Can see why some people think it's unprofessional but they're not the ones putting food on my table. Ps delivery is extra!
  20. Haha, nearly but not yet! :-)
  21. Fair enough. If my shoulders get much worse I'll have to! What's the discount for Arbtalkers?
  22. Cheers :-) messed the hinge up cos forgot about resetting the gob! Needed a slight change of direction away from the nursing home. Tis a bit disconcerting when you bore in & no saw dust flys out! :-)
  23. Yes you were you beardy lil badger you ;-)
  24. So... Will you be lowering your retail prices then? To make them affordable like!
  25. Lucky there's not too many of them around here. A local farmer tried me to do the same but they ended up being poplars. To be fair if it was a massive ash, very local & clearfell then I would, as it's gotta be worth £400-500 in logs. Something to do on a down day anyway.
