Both of ours had reflux and a dairy allergy, Karl is right, doctors are tight, if gaviscon doesn't work push for omeprazol, you can get it in liquid form but it is expensive so doctors dont like to prescribe it. I hope for your little ones sake it isn't. I coped on that amount of sleep for about 4 years, it's tough but just hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If you use safe working practices and the correct ppe that should reduce the risks to a minimum. Maybe get a chainsaw protective jacket if you are worried about slipping. I think adding that to a chainsaw would make it too cumbersome and awkward to use. If chainsaws ever come with that as standard I would have it straight off with the grinder Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I don't see what the problem is here. Why does a woman think she is so hard done by when she can go out and party on her own while we go out and work. I would be over the moon if I got to go to a wedding on my own and my mrs had to go out stump grinding. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I always keep a can of wasp nest killer in the truck. Kill the nest and carry on Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I would just cut it all off at 4 foot high with a chainsaw. Plenty of hedges have been done like this and no one will know the difference after 1 years growth. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I just started running again. I used to train 5or 6 days a week about 6 years ago and run races between 3000m and half marathons, this was to much and it affected my work. I gave up after my girlfriend got pregnant and I haven't run since. I've been feeling pretty unfit of late so I have decided to start again. I'm going to try to keep it to 3 or 4 runs a week and maybe a few races, we'll se how it goes Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Looks a bit wet there, where is it? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Ah I had one of those for a bit, fun saw to use, noisy heavy but plenty of power, put up some pictures if you can Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Bit late now, cause I guess it's already rebuilt but I have read a few threads from America on rebuilds where the crankcase has been split, shot blasted and powder coated. Saws looked amazing. Tho won't make them run any better

Think mine lasted a bit longer than that. I asked the dealer when I bought it had they sorted the problem, said yes, would've bought the Oregon one else

Hi all, Is there anyone in the whitstable/ Canterbury area who would like to give my cousin a quote for some tree work? She says she has had one quote and asked me if it was reasonable but I have never been to her house or seen the trees so advised her to get some more quotes. Not looking for the cheapest quote but it would be nice to know she wasn't overcharged by some one who is goo at what they do. Oh, and I would do it but live 3 hours away in Wiltshire and don't fancy the drive in my transit. Thanks will

I had a lady working for me today. Was siding up a big Pop over a road in preparation to fell it tomorrow. I needed an extra person as was working on a road. It work really well as she spotted cars early, let us in the picker know quickly ( could whistle louder than most blokes) dragged branches to the chipper left my Groundy to concentrate on feeding the chipper and cutting out the cord. Better than any college leaver I've come across. And she helped drag the logs we had thrown in the hedge. Well impressed. Only down side was my mrs wasn't happy. I said to her fine I won't have her work for me but you'll have to do it. She soon shut up!

Yep good saw I bought my 501 at the arb show. Used it quite a bit over the last few weeks. I'm running the 18 inch bar it came with, great for chogging down medium size stems. Great power for the weight, not quite as nippy as the husky 550 but a lot better in bigger wood. 2 slight bad points, the air filter lets fine dust into it, can't see any holes and it doesn't fit poorly. And the rear handle seems a bit weak, it came apart slightly when I had it on a strop when climbing. I've now wrapped a load of insulating tape around the handle to keep it together. And yes, the exhaust does get pretty hot, have you taken the spark arrestor out? Does it have a cat? If so it'll be coming out in the future

Hi, Need to change the hydraulic oil and filter on my bearcat chipper. Does anyone know what filter I need or where to get it? Which oil do I need to use? Where is the drain plug? And any other tips for changing it. Thanks will Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

My prabos boots cost me £100 over 12 months ago, still going strong. Lasting better than my previous airstreams

So, someone is able to do a crap job and still get paid just because they did something? Painter and decorator? Grass cutter? Handyman? It's not really about whether you have a ticket to say you can do it is it? A bad job is a bad job. This isn't just a little bit rough, it needs doing again. Why should the customer pay twice. And I'm all for letting the original contractor have a chance to put it right but the customer isn't. Isn't there some sort of scheme landscapers or fencing contractors can join BALI? Surely with this they have to meet some sort of standard? Thanks Will

Large bracket on a poplar I have been asked to fell next week Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I have been asked to take down and re erect a post and rail fence. I looked at it a couple of weeks ago after the customer wasn't happy with fence that the previous contractor had put up. It was very poorly constructed. The posts were not in line, the half round posts had twisted as they had driven them in so that the flat side was not flush with the rail, rails not equal distance apart and rail ends not meeting in the middle of the post or even 3/4 the way across. Long story short it was crap. First contractor did a runner after he was confronted by the customer the next morning. Then sent an email to the customer trying to make excuses for the poor workmanship. The customer asked my opinion and I told her I wouldn't pay for it as it is and unless it was pulled up and rebuilt then no amount of trying to rectifying would make it right. The customer bought enough posts and rails for the whole job and the contractor just quoted her a price for labour and digger hire. But he bought and used different post and rails. She has asked me to pull it all up, put in two field gates, and re erect it. We are going to put all of the other contractors posts and rails to one side and use the timber that she bought. This evening she sent my partner (who is a friend) a copy of the invoice that he has sent. He wanted £960 for the hire of a mini digger and two man days labour. My question is are would photos and my email to her stating what is wrong, enough evidence to take to court if it does get that far. Many thanks Will Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Crikey, how old are those pics? I had those stihl kneeflex and Willans harness about 15 years ago.

Nice pictures David. I like to see bees in trees, it's their natural home

Ah that's good to know
