Or you could do it for 2 shillings and a pickled egg....

Are you really asking people to give you a figure on the strength of 3 photos? Are you aware how many variables affect the costing of a job? Here's a few-how many people on site,what equipment to be used,is it an easy or challenging drag out,whats your day rate,are you subbing in any staff,wheres access for chipper,overheads-and thats just a couple. As Darrin said price it out as an hourly rate ie how much it'll cost you per hour to do the job and earn a wage

I dont have any...im a self confessed kit junkie:blushing:

Dont take a card with you,take a certain amount of cash with you to spend on kit and once its gone its gone Never take a card with you to buy kit...you'll max it out,i did...its a hard lesson...be warned!

Thought that read womaniser hire job....i was gonna apply...gutted!

Amazing post Treesrus. Thank you very much for bringing these points to the fore. I knew the Purchase of these weapons was corrupt but i had no idea how deep and wide it went.

You get your dad,cause my dads bigger than his dad,too do the pleb in

Isreal have a nuclear deterent hasnt stopped half the arab nations waging war on them for th last 40 years has it. This nuclear deterent thing is absolute crap...

Yip seen that on another forum,why would anyone use a different type of bridge to the one specified by the manufacturer anyway. Good post Alinicoll

The term Nuclear deterent is one that confuses me. What do they deter exactly...nuclear war..? There are currently 9 countries across the globe that have nuclear weapons at there disposal,enough combined nuclear capabilities to destroy our planet many times over,Russia and USA are obviously the big 2 with huge arsenals of nuclear weapons,so if anything does start and just one of those nations presses that button we all go up,or die from the fallout. Those two aside lets look at our own "nuclear deterent" In what way do they deter? Has it deterred the london terrorist attacks or the glasgow airport attacks ? It would seem to me in our modern world a nuclear weapon lies dormant not deterring the kind of attacks we face in modern Britain, those from terrorists. If even a portion of that money spent on nuclear weapons was put into anti terrorist causes we would go along way to preventing more attacks from our true enemies. That aside what about that money spent on nuclear weapons,i can think of a whole host of things we could spend that money on the NHS,education,housing,training schemes for the young,our armed forces who are woefully under financed and are faced with more cuts- oh i mean streamlining-by the MOD,my god even giving a couple of million to charities or cancer research is more important than any bloody weapon.

And what jobs is a renewed Trident going to create exactly ? The MOD at faslane have cut jobs by 20% in the last three years and have stated the cuts to continue until 2018,of course they dont call ot cuts it called streamlining. I live nearby faslane and in our community less than 7% of the locals are employed at faslane,most of the workers are Navy staff who,if faslane was closed would be moved elsewhere. I find it repugnant that a government who insists on austerity cuts can find billions of pounds to spend on nuclear weapons that are as we speak 2nd hand going out of date crap bought from the yanks.

Personally i would have punched him in the hole. Thats doesnt help i know but im quick tempered and have lamped the odd arsehole on occasion when provoked. It seems to me like hes just an idiot out to wind you up,he wanted the logs,you declined,he wanted money for his supposedly dirty car,you declined,seems to me he's just acting up to try and piss you off. You stayed professional and did your job to the letter,put it down to a bad experience with a halfwit

Shorts with chainsaw chaps. The lad did get strange looks though... It did look like he was heading to the blue oyster bar for a babysham or two

I have asthma and i get wheezy when chipping planes in the summer time. Id say its almost definatley the problem for the kid

Freefalling those big sections looked awesome. Great to watch mate nice work

Try the hitch climber its great,before you go mechanical get at least a month on the prussik,its not that bad and can do all the same things a mechanical device can at at tenth of the price

Ive seen the residule pressure washed off when the dead ivy was removed,it may however have a detrimental effect on the wall blowing some of the render or brickwork off

Checking arbtalk on your holidays...thats really sad, i do it too lol A photo when you get back would be great cheers mate

That one looks pretty professional compared to the one im putting together.To be fair i dont care how it looks as long as it works well. Im having problems attaching the ascender (knee) to my knee area,i thought of a velcro strap of some kind???

You see that right there is why arbtalk is awesome,bang on what im lookin at Darrin,thank you sir.

Hello all, Im trying to get some of my extra climbing bits that i dont use to make myself a HAAS.Ive got a petzl chest ascender some rubber tubing cable ties and an old non bungee chainsaw strop to use as a foot loop,but id love to know if anyone else has made one and how they went about it. Before anyone says-im not buying one,im a tight arsed scotsman so there. Cheers in advance for any ideas or input.

Its a balance for me but i love what i do so its not a chore to work but time off/rest is very important in this industry for mental wellbeing more than anything else. As for days off yeah i like to poke horseshit too

Yeah prime bat habitat so LA would demand a survey and a time limit as too when the trees are to be removed, to prevent protected species taking up residence

totally agree
