  1. Had a job to lift a tree of heaven, loads of branches overhanging clients new garden office. CA, no tpo. Spoke with the owner who said. "Yes that's fine, but the last tree surgeon who pruned the tree caused root die back which collapsed the Victorian sewer underneath. Which you will be liable for". Branches are still growing... [emoji51]
  2. TWO HUNTERS Paddy and Mick, got a pilot to fly them to northern Canada where they could hunt Moose. They managed to bag six Moose. But as they were loading the plane, the pilot said he could carry only four Moose. The two lads objected strongly, “Last year we got six. The pilot let us take them all and he had the same plane as yours.” Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six Moose were loaded. However, on take-off, the little plane couldn’t handle the load and went down, crashing into the wilderness. Somehow, Paddy and Mick survived the crash, and climbed out of the wreckage. Paddy asked Mick, “Any idea where we are?” “I think we are pretty close to where we crashed last year.”
  3. Only two problems 1 no on/off button 2 needs a "low oil" light
  4. Stihl msa200 No exhaust Less noise No pull cord No petrol Cuts faster than you'd imagine it should. Love mine Electrickery... Tis the future [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  5. My local dealers has one of the top stihl registered mechanics in the country. He'd never seen a 661 or 880 until I bought one. When I had a collection, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, I'd phone@wonky. He has two sheds! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  6. What ported saws do you use? Ever had any HSE issues with ported saws on site? [emoji106]
  7. The ms500i in the video was a little bit disappointing. Although it revved to about 13/14k, it dropped to 10k in the wood. On the plus side it was surprisingly light weight. [emoji106]
  8. Are you suggesting we have a "mill off"? [emoji12][emoji106]
  9. I agree, but I can buy 5 Chinese ones for the price of one Alaskan. [emoji106]
  10. What are we betting? [emoji12]
  11. Im running the 25",36" and 48" Chinese mills from Royston resources. I've used granberg and apart from price they're nearly identical. Also spare parts are soooo much cheaper.[mention=24594]RobD[/mention] on here sells various types from panther and granberg to Chinese. My first mills were threaded bar and plywood. Worked fine just slow to alter depth of cut. They all work. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  12. Had a lovely chat with hmrc last night, No you're not CIS as an arborist unless... Felling to clear a construction site. [emoji106]

  14. Hello Badger, Whereabouts are you? I have cs32 and DBS. [emoji106]

    Rats

    Completely forgot! You can buy a plug in thingy, emits ultra high frequency sounds. Works for mice, rats and cockroaches. Limited to about 10-15 feet range, but 3-4 units would do a whole house. Worked for us in London with a mouse problem. [emoji106]
  16. You might need a replacement for the fun. I'd recommend martial arts, something high energy like kickboxing, jujitsu etc. It's a reason to stay sober, eat right, sleep right etc. And fighting is really good fun too. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  17. Try@wonky he might be available. [emoji106]
  18. What size feet you got? I've got a pair of hardly used chainsaw wellies, says size 9/10 but I'm a 12 and they are big. Available for postage. [emoji106]
  19. I'm 20% down. **** [emoji52]
  20. Hmmm I'm sensing you're a climber... Can any fool climb a tree then?[emoji12]
  21. It was never mentioned when we discussed work and pay. Something is about to hit the fan.
  22. Yes, and it didn't mention piss.
  23. I pay my taxes anyhow. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
  24. I'm not a builder though. I'm not working for a builder. I'm an arborist working for Arborists.
  25. WHAT??? Since when? I'm an arborist, not a builder. Worked on sites loads, never had this before. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
