  1. Been doin a middling sort of sycamore for a couple who I do the church lawns for, though the tree in question was in their own back garden.. I don't suppose it infused them with much confidence when I explained it was only my third tree I'd done using proper climbing tackle...LOL... The job seemed to go well until the fella insisted I rope up a branch were he advised it'd be best to avoid hitting his shed, wasn't to sure myself, and after cutting through it it crashed down onto his shed, luckily no damage... In future I'll be doin the tying off were it suits me... Other than that, been a great day, stopping and starting having a brew up and putting the world to rights with the couple from the church... back tomorrow to tidy up...
  2. That thing looks like it might suit a farmer for something... People seem to forget they're not beyond accepting the odd cheap stolen bit of equipment.. Wouldn't be surprised if thats not where it is at the minute, parked up in a farmers barn waiting for things to cool down...
  3. LOL love the thumbs up at the end.....
  4. What about foxes, do they have the same affect as dogs peeing on a lawn?. What about birds picking at the moss?...or grass looking for worms?... Next door neighbors dog?... The neighbors throwin over somethin onto his lawn?...
  5. LOL, theres another five years in that flipline now...
  6. Take a sturdy black bin liner with you on the job, put the tags in the bin liner and then put the bin liner in the bin... Then once home, get out a piece of paper and a good pen and write out one hundred times.. Common sense is my friend, I will default to its advice whenever a simple problem can be solved by a simple solution..
  7. Damn you learn some stuff on this forum.... Been doin my own trailer wiring up today, little utility trailer I've had years, kids and borrowing it out have done for my lighting system.. Sat here with the new lamps following the online instruction of what wires to put where.. Just need to fit em on the trailer tomorrow..

    Honda

    try it out before you buy it, you don't want to spend ten minutes pulling your arm out trying to get it going every time you use it... Check the blade as well, see if it ain't twisted or bent, havin said that, its about thirty quid for a new blade, dependin on where you get one from..
  9. Thanks for clearing that up Reg, been botherin me tryin to figure it out LOL... Your friend ought take a steak on his bike rides, throw it at a Cougar, slap it in the face..
  10. less of the sleaze please, its a Satday morning for goodness sake..
  11. Been watching a slew of your vids Reg just of late.. Now being the curious type and getting a little stumped, I've been trying to place your accent... Theres a hint of Manc mixed with a Northern accent,, coupled with a early vid promoting Fletcher Stewart, I'm leaning towards Olham Stockport area..maybe even Bury?... Other than that, when do the bears come out, and are there any Brown bears to be worryin about in those parts?... A friend of mine moved to Canada, while having his breakfast, his girlfriend bolted out the kitchen screaming for her life, he thinks, WTF, turns round to see whats amiss and there not ten feet away was a Black bear making its way towards the open patio doors looking to join em for a breakfast.....
  12. Gramma nazi on the prowl.......
  13. When I did Adrian Wall last year, I used this as my shelter... Just enough room to be enough room but no more than that.... Rab Siltarp (2013) | Tents | Live for the Outdoors
  14. More like man not afraid to speak his mind.. not cowed by the establishment and its cronies.... And not afraid to speak on subjects long suppressed by the PC cowards of our age... Yes, and intelligent as opposed to our modern day politicians who insult the intelligence of their electorate.. Take immigration for example, the number concern of the electorate on the doorstep. Gordon Brown, when confronted by these concerns, smiles and dodges hard answers and thence goes on a rant about bigots.... This is why trump is doing so well, he seems to be the only politician that listens, and means to do something about the concerns of those who elect him...
  15. You do realize the underlying message here, Its not about women having abortions and people think its immoral... Its about the changing demographics and how to reverse that trend... I think women should be allowed to have an abortion whenever it suits. But I also think most women should look at having five children as a rule of thumb.. We have two options, do nothing and one day Britain will become the Brazil of Europe, or do something about it before its to late.... Hence Donald trumps flip from Pro choice to pro life.....he gets it..
  16. Yes, and thats why I suggested an "ignorance is bliss" approach..
  17. Well done..... I'll know what to do if ever I get a job like this.....
  18. What could be done is get the phone number of the owner of the tree and ring the fella up... Explain the situation to the owner without dropping the neighbor in it, and see if its OK to get on with the removal... That way all parties are happy... and one is none the wiser to why it might have fallen down... The fella gets paid for removing the tree, the neighbors happy the evidence has gone, and the owner is happy the neighbors paid for the job... everyone ends up happy and none the worse for it....
  19. If your chopping that tree up, why not finish the job why you're there?... I mean, why give anyone an excuses to spend money on the legal system.. Its not gonna put the tree back is it?...
  20. Someone on another thread said they took one in and its no questions asked, they just replaced it....
  21. kelly Kettle?.. that lump, takes up more room than two fat elephants... If you wanna a brew and no electric, nothin better than a trangia.. keep one in the van if you must, an a litre of meths... You can even cook your dinner why you're about it..... I make ma porridge in the morning on mine.....if'n I have porridge that is...
  22. Got caught out in the goat shed today, me three goats and a ram all holed up in a garden shed converted to their home.. lightning strikes all round us, not sure the goats gave a monkeys though. Me, I had visions of a lightning bolt setting fire to the shed an all the lot of us goin up in flames hahahah
  23. Hahah, Oh right then.... had a bit of a WTF moment when I realized what was goin on LOL
  24. Been looking at log splitters as you do when your toying with the idea of getting one one day... Came across this beauty, runs on hay an oats LOL... [ame] [/ame]
