Business location and turnover as a sole trader
Mick Dempsey replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Business Management
Do you have to announce where you live on your advertising? -
Business location and turnover as a sole trader

Why go ltd? Stay sole trader and no one knows any different. -
I genuinely believe there is less rancour and insults than at any time that I have been of this parish.

Large walnut tree with fork holding water
Mick Dempsey replied to mike2736's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I’d disagree with Nepia, walnuts cope well with some pretty rigorous pruning. They only bleed in the spring/late winter when the sap is rising. -
There will be a few low scores today.

Large walnut tree with fork holding water
Mick Dempsey replied to mike2736's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
That fork is problematic and looks likely to fail at some point. Leave the water in the crack, fungus can’t attack damaged wood underwater. I can’t comment on the cabling cos I can’t really make it out. If you’re dead set on keeping the tree, I’d advise a significant reduction. Others my differ. -

Cutting a Japanese pagoda tree in my garden
Mick Dempsey replied to Ab2da's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I’d echo what Nepia says except for the wood turning bit. They are nothing more than time wasting hippies. They might appreciate it, they rarely pay for it. Just show you some bowl or spoon they’ve whittled and expect you to give a shit. -
Put a picture up.

I can’t argue with you about that tbh. How old is the saw?

The manufacturers recommend 50:1 for a reason.

That rope is ideal for natty crotch rigging. Its light, it give better friction in the tree for climber-lowering, the strands give you a better hold and feel in the fist. Plenty strong enough for light/medium rigging. We pulled the Ranger out of a mud hole with a tractor a while back using it. It’s cheap so if you cook it or cut it no big deal.

Anyone see this on Arbtalk FB? Koala Courant, the rings lost the bolt or something.

I know that I play up the ‘you don’t want none of that modern rubbish’ trope. I don’t think it does any harm to point out sometimes that the wheel hasn’t been reinvented, it’s often just been painted a different colour and given a funky name like The Banzai Wankshine.

Oddly enough I have those slings, albeit more brightly coloured. Picked them up in HBs last time I was over. I tried getting into the habit of using them, but fell into the old ways with just a fixed eye krab. I will have another go when we restart work in March.

You’ve changed man, and not for the better.

Wheels locked when it moved? (Skidding)

The bridge ring application is probably the main thing. TBH I’m not going to knock it as my knowledge of modern climbing stuff is limited.
