  1. A lot of clients tomorrow, and far between them. Onwards and upwards [emoji123]
  2. Out over a type one hill, and some grinding up against a wall
  3. Or not the pies are out[emoji3]
  4. I’m off the pies [emoji3][emoji3]
  5. Done what I can with the machine, can’t get the rest or she would top over. Time for some hard manual work
  6. I hope you are doing good, might got a job for you up in Dundee . Couple of trees. I’m doing the stumps but I don’t fancy climbing up in trees [emoji3][emoji3]
  7. The Swedish summers are very very warm
  8. Norwegian spruce golf course, was a good 30 or so
  9. Was a 700 MM Stump in there, took a while to tidy up, I aimed to make it so client could no seen I been there
  10. I did it with imagination of what I wanted, and then just Do it!
  11. I been working, ALOT. [emoji3][emoji3]
  12. It’s no about the money it’s about the goal. [emoji3]
  13. i Have a spare hour so thought I post a post here. i been working like I didn’t think was possible. And I’m still alive. my stump grinding business going real good, learned the predator inside out, I’m really pleased with the machine. It’s a great all rounder . The drive and passion is stronger for everyday that passes. Just want more and more jobs. Hope you are all succeeding out there
  14. Today everything is done by the book, real breaks, safety before speed, specially for climbers. And a real good understanding of the job for all involved. The crazy days are over.
  15. I would not recommend it, looking back on it, yes indeed foolish.
  16. Thanks for your kind words Christopher, you are indeed a gentleman.
  17. After so much hard work, after giving everything i have and more, kept my mind positive. Sometimes 3 days work no sleep, shaking with chest pains and laughter it off as something great and positive. Finally I have landed a big ongoing contract, got all battery powered husqvarna gear believing this is the future, got the best risk assessments and method statements I could find. And a proper insurance. I filled my credit cards to max, took loans on my house, to be able getting in heavy equipment. Finished 3 contracts paid all off and got a long term contract. If you ever struggle remember never stop never give up, just keep going no matter what. It’s all in your mind. If you can imagine it you will have it.
  18. No it’s better getting Stump grinding direct.
  19. Sounds a 500 pound grind and a 300 extra to remove depends on access. Also depends what kind of machine you use. You might be like be, just buy the thing and learn later lol [emoji23]
  20. I was not pleased, he is not out again ever with me. It’s just tragic. I was in disbelief, said he was tired, moaning to get his girl friend to pick him up. I had spent 800 on that day and this useless guy decided to sleep, even worse traveling home in my van. Just a time waster.
