Must be great to get out in the fresh air.

Always someone else's fault eh? We were as guilty as anyone for believing in the credit BS. We got off lightly.

It all depends on whether you price to take away arisings, if you can "get away with" leaving them on site, so much the better. But a lot of householders won't stand for a meter high pile of grindings where their stump was, kind of defeats the object. Vehicle wise a 3.5 tonne tipper is going to be your best mate as far as money making is concerned in the tree game. (At least in the beginning before anyone kicks off!)

Don't let anyone else use it. It'll be ruined in no time. Price per job, imo

:biggrin:Ha ha.

I'll have to enlarge them on the iPad. is that the new TW?
-
Johny, I'm sure you can do a bit better than 2 pictures of an empty car park and a pile of chip!

I had them for my terrano, unbeknownst to me one door had some filler in and I lost it. Truncator's looks good, custom made for the panel. They don't cost a lot, go for it.

Do it, then reexamine the relationship between you and the apprentice.

Eucalyptus management programme. Plant, wait 15 years. Get tree surgeon to reduce, three years later get tree surgeon to reduce (again! Cos it's bigger than it was before) wait five more years and take the bloody thing out. Their growth rate is insane. (Till the subzero temperatures do for it)

Eucalyptus is heavy, tell us how you get on.

Hi Sean, I'm glad there's some good news. I tell the boys about your progress, we're all thinking about you.

Good for him! I'd skip work for that.

Just start with a standard prussik, and a proper karabiner, don't get bogged down with different knots and techniques.
-
Because it was delivered under false pretences.

Eggsarascal, thank you! At least you can see it, and now he's playing the old "you all hate women in the industry" card.

So the whole Female Arb thing was bogus, to get Facebook likes.
-
Now the cynic in me would say that Adam has just used a picture of a pretty girl (his wife perhaps) plus a "help a girl out" tag to get Facebook likes, but maybe that's just me.

Now don't take my word for it! but mine split and we refitted it no problem.
-
Pathetic isn't it? If you're going to lie, lie big.
-
Ha ha! Did you confront him?

Go for a lift and thin at the same time, makes life easier and quicker for the climber, trees look better, customer is happier. My 2 cents worth.

Have you discounted honey fungus? maybe I'm stating the obvious but I've seen willows shed bark like that and they had HF, the insect stuff was secondary, ie the borers came after the fungus. Just a thought.

It is, of course , a great job for the less experienced, no large sections coming out, no shaping to get wrong, lots of planning of how to get around a tree. You can't really get it wrong. I had to do a largish oak this week and I hated it. Scrabbling out to get that piece on the end. Fair knackered me out. As you say GG an underwhelmed customer at the end.
