    We all had to start somewhere. Just depends on how serious you are about starting a new career

    My motivation comes from a mortgage, 3yr old and a 6yr old. Oh and our move to Aus next year.

    Buy using the other end of your rope might just get you up a different top in a big tree, would just need to carry a spare pursik or whatever you want to climb on.then while climbing up on that end your main anchor can be slackened off transferring your weight on to your other line. Good effort by the way,
  11. Alex O
    Sometimes climbing will both ends of your rope can be helpful if your strop isn’t long enough to get you higher.

    Tie rope off to the full height of your ladder, then remove ladders from site.

    Was just a suggestion, as my rollers have stopped before and after looking around the chipper I noticed the sensor have over time just worked it’s self lose and was out of range. Worked for me.
  14. Alex O
    Could it be the censer on the flywheel is out of alignment or worn

    Any reduction works on pines will look shite and will cause problems in the future. Leave it or remove it. There are some trees that are just not meant to be touched. A tree like that in that position will be your bill board for years, just bear that it mind.

    Rough Trax is a pretty good website or Milner off rd.

    Sometimes helps to loosen your prusik then pull tight again. Or depends on what rope and prusik combo your using as some are hard/soft

    First impressions is pykes, and the two on the right look like they were done with a gypsys stick. Who ever said the customer knows best [emoji849]
  19. Alex O
    Definitely report it, I certainly would and have done in the past. It’s down to them if they want to take that chance then I say fk em.

    Thanks Kev, sounds good but I’m off to Aus in the new year so just keep my head down at the moment trying to get through my regular customers before I go. But appreciate the offer Thankyou, Alex.
  23. Alex O
    Wow not sure how they missed that. What’s a 1.5 meter reduction going to do those two trees. And are they wanting to clear the whole church yard now because of what’s happened.
  24. Alex O
    Ha , very good. And probably not far off being in Cornwall .
  25. Alex O
    Definitely man power on this one. Can’t see who’s got the better run down on your customer or next door side or a bit of both just to keep the brash flowing. The grass bank at the front is there any signs of an east route down it onto the neighbours drive rather than your customers winding path. Or if you have access to a tractor and hijab to lift the brash down off the grass slope. Good luck on this one Kev. What area is the job in, just so I can avoid it[emoji6].
