Yeah, my go to is the 194… 201 is horrible after using them!

I’m 48, still climb 2/3 times a week, but usually get a hired gun in for the real big grunty climbs… said hired guns ‘alarm didn’t go off’ on Friday morning, so I was dropped in to dismantling a whopping Beech over a house. Whilst the spirit is willing, the flesh has defo become weak… forgot how heavy a 201 at arms length can be when used all day! Tennis elbow came roaring back with a vengeance… Said hired gun is getting beasted next time he’s in…

Nothing. Is the Ivy not enough for you?

Sloooooww on new enquiries, but enough repeat customers and annual jobs to keep afloat. By the skin of our teeth some weeks though!

Hello!

Yeah, but rough cut aren't going to give a cracking finish I wouldn't have thought?

I've been reluctantly picking up more and more hedge cutting work, and my blunt rough cut ht 85 is not that tidy, what's everyone s weapon of choice for a good finish? Ta

I think it's smashing, well done Steve and whoever else has put hours and hours of their time in. Spot on

Aye, had loads of grief with them, got fobbed off for two weeks, saying my regrinds and new blades were in the post then saying oh they are just in the pile to go out today, then it turned out they didn't actually have the new blades in stock. Which would be fair enough if I wasn't fed a load of bullshi, won't use em again

Bet it was a few loads of chip in that tipper!!!! Nice work

Yes mate,

A30 fairmile/allercombe, Birmingham northern relief Rd, a320 Guildford and Lyminge forest in Kent. They were really good times

That's what I'm getting at, my customers don't care about loler etc. I've no wish to educate them! But they do appreciate a nice looking tree or a tidy, damage free removal. A scheme which proved competence of work/skill would, I think gain a bit more traction/uptake and therefore be more widely known amongst domestic customers, the aaac as it stands is never going to infiltrate wider domestic work

I was thinking more focus on the workmanship/professionalism of the job, how the site is run, customer relations etc, so not something every single firm can achieve but top end cutting and tidying. I realise that the aa bar is set very high and for commercial work I suppose it's becoming the norm, but most of my domestic customers don't know there loler s from their rolos, and a more widely recognised certification of competent work would be of benefit to me, them and possibly the aa ( through more widespread quality affiliates and wom). Possibly.😀
