  1. Do they eat everything under 3 inches and then cut the rest up for logs?
  2. Typical builders Do all the work underneath first then take the trees down. Builders can't wait for busy tree surgeons
  3. Is that a 6 inch or bigger?
  4. If it was me I would get a tw150 tracked chipper cos you can take the hopper off and it'll go thru a narrow gate. And I would have a little trailer made for it so it was easy to use still attached to the truck
  5. I remember Atlantic 252 on LW radio used to play the best music
  6. Yes I have just consulted my newly purchased tree fungus app and I would agree with ganoderma resinaceum Good app by the way I am trying to learn my fungi and hope to get out int the woods this weekend to find some
  7. Maybe put up your prices slightly, get a few less jobs, earn more money and have more time
  8. Hi Phillip, a mate at work replaced the bridge on his petzl harness with one made from 10mm friction cord. He tied it to the rings with a fisherman knot.
  9. Keep two hands on the saw when sawing logs on the ground- and hold logs up off the floor with your foot, this way you will not cut your hand again!
  10. Ha! Maybe I should get married then!
  11. A few years ago My boss shouted out the window of the work truck ' sit on my face' to a young lady who was walking past, but she was quick to reply 'why ? Is your nose bigger than your.....'
  12. Ah, I'm no expert, I just had the same problem as you when I was growing up. We had barn owls nesting in our barn and they used to make an awful racket! Also sometimes from dusk into darkness you can hear tawnies hooting and if you can make a hooting noise they hoot back
  13. Don't have a block use a flying capstan or wrap round the tree
  14. I used to help my dad lay his own hedges I loved it! He made me trim out the grass and brimbles with a hook an stick before he steeped the hedge and then I had to help drag the brash to the fire. It's a good thing to do for the youngsters
  15. Dosnt look very straight might get 6 foot lengths? Looks a it knotty. I think Alaskan mill is your best bet and cut into short oak beams
  16. Yep, and use a bit of vasaline to lubricate any moving parts
  17. Think last time I went in a pub in Devon they had them, can't you get them anymore?
  18. Not sure but is this shaggy ink cap? Growing next to my house
  19. Barn owls don't hoot the screech and hiss Probably was a tawny owl
  20. There must be a way of putting the meat up there without a ladder What about putting a pulley at the top of the pole for a life line and then spiking up the pole
  21. Very true
  22. I work for foremost tree surgeons nr Basingstoke. I work in Hampshire but we have a team who work for Woking council full time and sometimes I get sent up there to do domestic work
  23. It was been looking for a cheap one for a while Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
