Morning, Wet again here. My sister excepts flooding in the house again, near Nottingham. Glad we got some work done yesterday, not going out today, except into the sheds to to a bit of spannering.

I once had to dismantle a Berberis on steroids (the Berberis, not me). This was as vicious as Pyracantha. It managed to get my arms through a chainsaw protective jacket several times.
-
Pyracantha?

Morning and happy new year all. Good weather today, so will carry on with a local parish council job where we can come and go as we please.
-
Another late Good Morning from me, My neighbour and I split then sawbenched a good amount of timber this morning to share for our domestic needs. Felt good.
-
Morning all, A dry day here! Going to take down a wind damaged hung up conifer this morning, should blow away the cobwebs a bit😃
-
Morning all, Going to try and get a small hedge cutting job done near home before the next belt of rain moves in.
-
Very belated morning all, Hopefully some return to normality looming. After 34 years of hosting Christmas for 3 generations, my wife is beginning to feel perhaps we have done our bit. Hallelujah.

You could do worse than black waxoyl. But this could make any future welding repairs a bit more fiery.

I thought it was yesterday too, but then I heard something on the radio about it being at around 3am this morning. I didn't quite understand that, as I thought the solstice was a day, not a time.
-
Very belated good morning, Been chilling with family, and at long long last my new Hilux has finally arrived at the dealer. Once beacons fitted it will be a nice late Christmas present to myself😀. Have fun, one and all.
-
Morning all, Very windy here. One of my regulars contacted me with two fallen trees. She is happy to wait till Saturday or after Boxing day for me to sort it.
-
Morning all, Enjoy the day.
-
You'll dehydrate without fluid though. I didn't specify what type of fluid you should have, I will have to leave that up to you😂
-
You've done a really good job on that. Did the customer afterwards say "I thought you would have taken more than that off"? I have had that comment too often after a painstaking reduction, where as often as not I would have left it alone if it was my own tree.
-
Morning all, Cleared the last job before Christmas yesterday, doing Christmas this week with our adult offspring. Keeping tracks on son and son in law's delayed flight from Nice, then off to Manchester airport. Have a good day and a good Christmas, whenever yours is.

Possible de-alignment of flywheel at Arbtrak190?

One of my men put an electric fencing stake through. Amazing how little damage it did in fact. Few weeks later he put a steel karabiner through. -
Morning all, Looking like a reasonable weather day, hopefully get something done. Then off for next 3-4 days while our grown up children are with us for early Christmas. Then if weather good I have permission to work between Christmas and NY😀 Have a good day.

Exactly the kind of thing that made me give up being Safecontractor approved, maddening nonsense when you are a sole trader with 3 employees.

Morning all

Glad to hear some improvement. Hope you don't get too much of the post viral fatigue, that's a real pain. Hope the wee dram helped!

Derailing the thread a little, but along the general lines: I quoted for a simple job to fell some trees, subbing to a construction firm who were just going to lay a big concrete base for a training area. I got the job, they asked for RAMS and I sent what I regard as a decent risk assessment and method statement. They said it wasn't adequate and wanted more detail. I sent back the amended risk assessment with the simple addition: In addition to all the above we will maintain our usual vigilance based on the assumption that anyone within sight of our work zone is stupid, ignores warnings signs, and has a death wish. I was more than happy to be told they did not find this appropriate and that they would find another contractor. Sometimes you just have to say it like it really is, and if penpushers don't like it, too bad.

Morning all, Dry and mild here. Going to put the new finger bar hedge cutter on the tractor this morning, no cab, and drive it 5km to do its first job. Got to choose the weather and clothes for the job!
-
Morning all, Have a good 3 x 20th PeteB. Dry here, but not working today. Have a good day all.
