  1. I would not recommend it, looking back on it, yes indeed foolish.
  2. Thanks for your kind words Christopher, you are indeed a gentleman.
  3. 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.
  4. No it’s better getting Stump grinding direct.
  5. Only you know what you want to earn.
  6. 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]
  7. 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.
  8. I struggle to expand due to can’t find skilled workers. I found one sleeping in the van, supposed to stop traffic while I was up in cherry picker. Or iPhone syndrome. Only I can find is subbies. Costly .
  9. My friends Corrie and Ria
  10. My Renault maxity is 800 A year
  11. I will to when I get some to run things for me.
  12. The battery gear is great [emoji106]
  13. A separate cabin to control the crane. So no need to turn the chair inside the tractor.
  14. Not my tractor but it’s me driving it
  15. Thank you [emoji4]
  16. Giving respect and credit to people goes a long way, treat folks good, avoid anger and negative approach, and folks respect you as a leader. Don’t dish out blame. Build character and genuinely take good care of your staff. You will find a good team after a while.
  17. I’m going to start doing climbing at my age and my weight. I’m so looking forward towards this. I done it before, I’m a safe slow kind of climber. It was 13 years ago, and let’s roll let’s do it [emoji3][emoji3][emoji736] Getting so much tree work with a 0 emission approach. Market is different now to then. I had a cresto I think Swedish harness, what’s good today, or most importantly safe ? What ropes ? I used New England back then . If some please could tell me the best safest gear. Kind Regards Stefan
  18. I do believe U.K. will be better off, U.K. been a driving force in this world and will continue being so.
  19. They will start off with kicking out Swedes. I will be forced to start up grinding in Sweden.
  20. I don’t think websites will be around for much longer, I think such as Facebook will take over. There for I’m thinking of investing all in Facebook ads. And learn it better to reach out where I want to be.
  21. I’m thinking to scrap homepage all together and use Facebook only, I think this is the future. Is there really any point in a business homepage anymore?
  22. Indeed very good I use them on predator 38 . Noticed a drastic difference in time spent on each stump.
