    Morning all, Yep, rain on the way. Day 2 on same job, all on the ground thankfully. Don't forget your rainwear.

    Morning all, Dry here today. Day 1 of 2 doing an annual hedge trim, shrub prune, conifer trim for a longstanding customer. With the added delight of a medium sized monkey puzzle to take down. Probably have to climb it and take the top off first as power lines within reach of a straight fell. Such bliss.

    Morning all, Weather looking ok for the rest of the week. Couple of very small jobs this morning then a sawbench session to get some logs ready to deliver.

    Morning all, Further rain all morning here. Manual hedge cutting this morning. Hopefully starter motor for tractor will arrive so can be in a shed this afternoon🤞

    Morning all, Rainy all day here. Going hunting to try and find a local starter motor for the tractor, rather than ordering online. Then see what the rain is like. No such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

    Morning all, Been in Cornwall for the last week, nice break. Going to massacre (aka reduce) a Laurel hedge at home today. Think that can count as pottering as unpaid and domestic.

    Morning all, Another sunny day. Log splitting and sawing, tidy one more hedge at home, then off for a week. Hope the APF is good fun for all concerned.

    Morning all, Rain rain rain here. Doing a quote and staying indoors/in the workshop type of day for me.

    Morning all, Another hedge and magnolia prune today then mowing if the rain stays away long enough.

    Morning team, Nice and wet here. Wide Laurel hedge reduction today. Going to put my waterproof overtrousers on before setting off.

    Weekend pottering will include helping my neighbour move a pile of topsoil. He can have the shovel, I will have my little Bobcat digger. Lawns to mow. Crosswords to do.

    Morning all, A weekend to potter.
  21. maybelateron
    Morning all, Second day dismantling two ashes, using subbie climber. Went well yesterday. Doug, you have my sympathy with having to remain polite with busybodies. Stephen, perhaps you should only count digging out the stumps as pottering if you do it manually!
  22. maybelateron
    I reckon taking that connie hedge out can only be classed as pottering as presumably you did it with the shear, sitting in a nice digger cab. Had it been with a chainsaw might be a bit of a stretch to call it potttering, but then then I suppose the village goodwill job swings it as a potter overall.
  23. maybelateron
    Morning all, Couple of ash trees to dismantle today and tomorrow. Got a younger man with a younger body in for the climbing. For once, a customer who wants the wood taken away. Yippee!
  24. maybelateron
    Morning all, Nothing like a flat battery for a good start to the day. No pun intended. Not my battery but one of my men's. Oh yes, power line lads on site at 9 for us, best go pick him up then hadn't I.
  25. maybelateron
    Used the rebuilt Jo-Beau M300 for the first time today. The lads were impressed by it, but I knew what it was capable of from having had the same model some years back. Taking it out later in the week when we are dismantling two good sized ash trees in a rear garden that is a bit tight for extraction. Plan is to put the smaller brash through the Jo-Beau in the rear garden as customer happy to keep chippings. Then take larger cordwood/brash out through tight access to the bigger chipper and chip into the chip box on the truck.
