Think you might've done enough to re ignite ir!

I'll get a beer for this one

Anyone can fell a tree (or attempt to) No one can fell a tree with an active nest. It's probably because anyone with certs had refused to do it

It's a tricky one. Personally I don't do work unless all parties are in full agreement. Unfortunately for you, I'm sure your neighbour will be able to find someone. As for advice, sorry, can't really help. I would say some sort of compromise would be the best approach.

To amuse the locals, seeing how many tourists obeyed it.

Times like that a big shot would be handy

I've done it 😂. Terrible talebacks on the A30, going to Cornwall. Fella darts off. I thought, he looks like he knows where he's going. Me and about 16 other vehicles followed him. He hadn't got a clue! Took us up a dead end track. Caravans having to back up and all sorts. Chaos! 😂
-
That's the only consideration regarding when to do it 👍

Move the log burner and let's have a proper look!
-
I know. I'm never confident enough to give advice from pics, so I just think of something silly to say. Sorry!

I remember a story years ago, think it was on here. Guys priced a large conifer removal in London. 3 storey terraced, so they priced to take it all through the house. On the day, the house next door has a crane, loading roof tile or something. They dropped the operator a ton, and he got the lot out! Nearest I've come to anything like that was a road sweeper coming past just as we finished picking up the last bits 😁
-
That's all you can do. Price accordingly. It's not overpricing. Most people understand. As for going through houses, I just don't qo there, it's a dead cert that something will get damaged or scratched

This just sounds like most of my jobs

Like Steve said, new chain. It might not be you, if the chain isn't accurately sharpened and the bar is only slightly mishaped I would think it would make quite a difference on a big piece
-
Is it ok to derail the thread now?
-
That bit I don't get. He says he's got a yard, so I don't understand the situation. But as I say, wouldn't bother, well doesn't bother me. Roofer over the road, fella does driveways 2 doors up. I park my van and occasionally the chipper overnight. we have a bit of a pact. 'Don't tidy up your drive, or I'll have to do mine'

I might object to shopping trolleys and old mattresses lying around, but someone earning a crust, no objections

Only had one harness for the first 17 yrs. T22 😂

No. Not really. One single fairly loud, but low toned bang. Bit like someone hitting a bass drum. Then loss of power and the engine did sound different, but not metal/nails. Yours sounds like fins off the turbo have maybe broken and sucked through the system. Hopefully not. Like you, I did check the exhaust first. Thought it could be that at first
-
Yes. Mine blew off at the jubilee clip driving on motorway. (Transit) quite a bang and loss of power
-
I was working on my bike about 15 years ago. Got a metal burr. Similar entry wound and it then migrated a similar distance over about a week. Go over any stiles, barbed wire etc?
-
No good for you mate. Merseyside/ Lancs border North west
-
Water lane farm. Very quick and easy. Take anything, heavy, brash, chip. No soil 20 quid a transit load. It's not my usual stomping ground , but it's really handy if I get the odd job near to
-
Has anyone had anything shipped or imported from Europe recently? I'm looking at a used chipper in Holland. Is it a nightmare at the moment? Should I just forget the idea? Has anyone any idea of costs? I'm prepared to go and get it, but is it easier and cheaper to ship? Thanks
