  1. It's simple, talk to your tree officer, build a good relationship over all work in the conservation area. Then once you've built that relationship, you should be able to call and tell them I'm doing a take down, I'll send a retrospective application and I'll send some photo's. That's how I work it, 80% of my work is in a conservation zone.
  2. I often find that I end up giving two prices, one for the whiole job, one for getting it down. The domestic chainsaw/firewood enthusiast seems to be a common friend of customers, but not prepared to do the technical stuff.
  3. No photo's, but i was fixing saws and answering the door to trick or treaters at the same time, one girl turned to run at the sight of me with a saw in my hand!
  4. The last two days ending with a 2/ headache leads me to join!
  5. I just took down a dead one today. Whats your plan, plant them in your enemies gardens?
  6. I use my groundsman in a variation on this technique.
  7. I love haggling, but wish my customers wouldn't.
  8. It was raining and it's a Monkey Puzzle. Enough said.
  9. I give that comment about half an hour!
  10. It's on my list of reading, but only after the end of 'the girl who played with fire' and a desk full of invoicing.
  11. If your not dragging brash or moving a tracked machine about, I can believe it. If your racing a branch through then i doubt it, but as long as it doesn't choke itself, then it is pretty quick.
  12. I use a ms170 with a carving bar and an old worn chain on it, it only takes a few minutes to resharpen, and fits in most holes.
  13. This thread has just cost me five hundred quid. I hope your happy now.
  14. CS100, read up in the wee chipper club.
  15. There was a recent post on here about a similar name of a company in Devon. I assume there is a clear difference between the two company names.
  16. trust are good.
  17. I would ask a kind moderator to remove this thread, then sit him down, give him some areas for improvement and point him this way, see if he can learn from us sad lot who have nothing better to do than discuss which saws best in the evenings. If he doesn't show some initiative, then next week I'd tell him to look up doors.co.uk - This domain name is available to lease or buy now.
  18. Look up the wee chipper club, it's a comprehensive discussion on it. I just bought a cs100, but the Jo beau seem to me to be the other option. If you're moving it around on your own, it's haevy but do able. A small winch is useful.
  19. What software do people use with these wee units? I'm put off by the editing involved?!
  20. Aye, It's a step forward from from the old school days of bolt holes on your caving helmet, but it's for torches while caving/mountaineering that such slots exist!
  21. If it were someone at traffic lights they may have un-hitched the ball and electrics but left the cable, or run out of time!
  22. I would if I could....... I keep trying to get these beauty's planted, I recomend them to almost all my customers. Lovely tree that ash, but too big for the space, take it out and put something nice in like a................... Good luck with getting help. What's it like for turning?
  23. Here's a photo from the back, the light's always wrong from the side door, but I'll try at some point.
