Morning all, Connie bashing next two days, with rain forecast for tomorrow. Think we'll get the climbing done today then, and get as much on the ground as we can.
-
Morning all, Yes, more autumnal. Staying home today as our chocolate labradog vomited quite a lot last night. Want to keep an eye on her. Bit more hedgework at home to fill the day.
-
Morning all, Yeah, doing trees today, not more hedges. Happy Monday.
-
Nah, he never is, miserable sod.
-
Morning all, More hedges to cut at home today. Busman’s holiday and a plumber’s tap.
-
Morning all, Cutting down then digging out (mechanically) conifer hedge for a neighbour this morning. Then more weeding and hedgecutting at home. I'll go to work on Monday for a rest. Have a good weekend all.
-
Morning all, Nice day looming here, looks good for a few days now. Off to see orthopaedic surgeon, almost certainly leading to knee replacement later this year. Rest of day cutting my hedges with the tractor mounted finger bar cutter. Used it 3 times now and beginning to master the controls.
-
Morning all, Dentist this morning then mowing and woodchip delivery this afternoon. Be good, stay safe, have fun.
-
Morning all, Dry and cooler here. Another mewp day today.
-
Morning all, Max 22 here and increasing rain from 4pm. The lawns are going to go crazy now.
-
Morning all, Scorchio is forecast but currently warm rain. Have a good day y'all.

Not at what hammerite thinners costs.

On one occasion I tried suggesting that if they had been in a bad RTA, and had broken both legs, that offering to crush their arm would not really help the recovery. The customer (not client) took this comment very well and it helped them understand the tree's situation better, and we did some sensible pruning.
-
Morning all, Want to get some hammerite smooth yellow on the little Jo-Beau I am recommissioning. It will be dry before it's off the brush in this heat. Then pressure washing the patio chairs and table, much more fun.
-
Morning all, Couple of local woodchip deliveries this morning then more weeding at home. Even better last week, took the woodchip straight from the tree job to the paying woodchip customer. A load of woodchip brings in less money than logs, but far less work.

You have to undo the input end of the grease filled tensioner, push the idler wheel in to put slack into the track, then stretch it back on with a pry bar. Easier on a digger or mewp as you can lift the track up from the ground. Guess it would be harder with a tracked dumper.
-
Morning all, Weeding duties in the garden, with the boss. So much for the "day off"🤣 Had my first experience of having to put a track back on mewp yesterday. Sorted, and from now on will carry the appropriate pry bar with me!
-
Morning all, Dry here, maybe rain later. Second day on mewp job pollarding. Think it will run into a third day, but fortunately allowed for that in the quote. Third day won't be until Monday though, Friday off is written in steel reinforced concrete. Never understood the in laws naming their daughter steel reinforced concrete.

Will the tiniest amount of diesel in the fuel damage the saw?
maybelateron replied to Ryan625's topic in Chainsaws
I love my Echo 2511 tophandle, but it is the worst saw I know to get going after putting chain oil in the fuel tank. -
I am normally size 8uk for chainsaw boots, but when I changed to Scafell Lite I went down to a seven.
-
Morning all, Mainly dry here, possible rain middle of day. Hey ho, off we go.
-
Morning all, Dry cooler day here. Couple of regular hedge trims then getting the mewp set up in the village for tomorrow's and Thursdays job.
-
Stop scratching those balls, on with the smalls.

Unfortunately you get what you pay for as a rule. I would recommend avoiding boots that don't have a Vibram sole, unless you know they have a good reputation. I used Haix for years, then changed to Meindl as I felt they had a better heel ledge, as Doug says. They were great until Meindl ditched the Vibram sole and whatevever they were using instead only lasts a year before the layers start to delaminate. I am currently using Arbortec Scafell Lite and find them really comfortable. One of my team drags his feet a lot, and the Scafell Lite have coped well with this.

Morning all, Nice day here. Bit of fun with the roads - the A road through our village has moving closures along an 8 mile section for the next 3 weeks. Of course the back lanes in the area have random closures/works too. Have fun all.
