    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.

    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.

    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.

    I always use one, never felt any discomfort or annoyance with it.

    Having gone over to zigzag and art positioner 2, I could never go back to prussic loop or blakes hitch. Do you use a slack tender pulley? I completely agree about not using rope grab on a (steel cored) flip line though.

    Morning all, Cooled down here for now, but 24 degrees later today, similar tomorrow. Fetching timber from yesterday's job, then pottering about in sheds and mowing lawns. Have a good day all.

    Morning all, Another scorchio. Glad it's mewp today not climbing. OK under the crown until that final bit comes off the top of the tree then scorchiooooooo.
  16. maybelateron
    Morning all, Yes indeed, 24 degrees today with 28 forecast for tomorrow. Suncream again then.

    Indeed I have. I had an M300 some years ago. Sold it due to lack of use. Then found we could do with one, as you do of course. Got it stripped down now, not a lot to replace and it will be as good as new. Solidly built, and a capable machine IMO. Waiting for the new rotating discharge spout now.

    Morning all, 25 degrees today, 27 on Wednesday. Time for the suncream. Two smaller jobs today then in the shade/shed to do spannering on an old Jo-Beau M300 I bought over the weekend. Stay cool

    Morning all, Decent day here. Nice sycamore dismantle today, just hope the customer has sorted out all the neighbours' parking as requested.
  23. maybelateron
    Morning all, Nice easy day cutting back woody shrubs to 4-5ft above ground, for a nice customer. Have a good day y'all.
