Girl arbs...whatever next?
-
Wow thats tough. Sounds like they cleared you out. Scum, pure scum.
-
Good post Dean & well done.
-
Ta, enjoyed watching that.
-
And they say keyless, remotes etc is the way forward. Like having no spare tyre in most new cars. Progress???Pah.
-
First one I've seen ready for work.
-
The big army recruitment van rang their generals. I told them we wouldn't if he sped up.
-
Just this one for trees, but others for motorbike, Land Rover & shooting. Why use another when the spread of knowledge is this good?
-
Ok thanks. It'll go in our little yard then.
-
Can't help re cost of labour/parts on a tranny but sounds like maybe the clutch release bearing is failing. Its usually replaced when fitting a new clutch but someone here will know more n me.
-
Heard about sounding mallets...are they anything special or just a wooden/rubber?
-
As the title...we've got a 100' lime tree to fell & wondered how it burns, once split & left for a year or so. Didn't want to store it if its unsuitable but I'm thinking that all wood burns once dry?
-
Have only done small areas of clearance but I used spray paint or notching to be certain we understood each other. I guess a marked drawing would be 'belt 'n braces' so can only be a good thing, to protect all parties of comeback/misunderstanding.

A place here is well known locally for grafting fruit trees, pear/apple mainly, combining different qualities like stopping fruit bruising when stored/dropped.
-
Interesting but forgive my ignorance...is the idea to combine characteristics from each plant?

Looked at a job today, just 3 small (8" dia) sycamores to come down & gave him a price which he accepted. I'd previously done the tpo check which was clear but the garden is in a conservation area. Me "Just complete the permission form online, theres no charge". Him "Oh can't we just claim ignorance?". Me "Err, no, fill in the form & when I see permission is given we'll happily do the job". Him "Oh I didn't know you'd be so picky". Us "See you". Customers eh?
-
No idea re price but I think some modern vans/trucks look fragile & overblinged appearing 'unworkmanlike'. No doubt just an unfounded observation.
-
6' 9" & Pfanners fit us.
-
Great gesture & looks a fine bed.
-
What, like 'Trim yer bush missus while I'm here?"
-
Whats the job? We're a small (one team) fledgling business 10 miles from there. Good? We think so.
-
Good job. Good vid too.
-
We used ex NI army lwb v8s as armoured police gun platforms in the 90s. Trouble was while the engine could just about cope with the weight, the brakes couldn't , used to have to plan ahead to avoid fade but was a real hoot otherwise.

John, I read that re curtilage etc when we had dealings with the conservation office. It seems it's open to slight interpretation as a previous CO we had was OTT. He wouldn't agree to our replacement of a couple of rotten sash windows (to be made of the same douglas fir & the exact same pattern) instead insisting we only cut out the rot, which being at the corners & rails would've affected the general integrity & usability. Luckily he was replaced by a more agreeable guy who rolled his eyes when I told him. Don't get me wrong, we knew what we'd taken on & wouldn't want to change the appearance but we'd like to open the windows now & then. Sorry for the derail.

We were told by our LA (listed building/conservation officer) that only walls, buildings etc that are attached to the listed building are protected under the G2 listing policy. Being in a conservation area, if we had any trees, I believe we'd need permission to work on them even without TPOs & as already said, even anything harmful like ivy that is attached needs permission:001_rolleyes:.
