I got the truck back from the coach builders yesterday now all complete. First impressions is it’s...horrible to drive empty. The “bone shaker” comments I’ve read about it are all true. It has great power and and it’s fuel consumption is tiny. I’m sure it’s going to awesome when it gets put to work though. Here’s a little walk around... IMG_9127.MOV

Cheers Seany, All you’ll need to do is type in whatever traffic management you need on the coding sheet below or next to what’s already there. Then go back to the main sheet, select the cell that holds the drop down menu for traffic management, select “data” at the top of the page menu, then “data validation”, then where it says ”source” click in that space and it should take you back to the coding sheet with the current options selected. Then hold ctrl and click on your new inputs for your TM until every one for traffic management is selected. Press ok and check it works. If I’ve not left enough space for you to add them on the coding sheet then let me know and I’ll expand all the categories and re-upload. If that explanation is confusing then just shoot me a message and I’ll add them in for you.

Called out to a Lawson with a multiple horizontal stem fractures to the longitudinal bark plates and a lovely stem curve over a neighbouring conservatory in Norwich. Weather was nice although pretty blustery. IMG_9119.MOV

Of course, I’ll update it through the week. Edit: I was going to do a really witty edit just for you but I'm lazy...

Weirdly, it throws my balance off constantly listening to music out of one earpiece.

No joke

I’m already out of my depth...pretending to know what any of this means is too risky...I’m out!

...yes?

I’ve got a 2011 MacBook Pro for home which is still running like new but at the office have a 2018 HP ProBook which I often want to throw out of the window due to crashing and generally being slow. Go for a Mac.

Yup will be there.

Weirdly warm but mega blustery in Norwich.

Mine was manual but I can definitely agree on it being thirsty for oil. I thought it was a fault until everyone else on the VW forum said “yup, same here” I leased mine and I’m glad I handed it back because once the honey moon period wore off, I realised that I’m spending well over double the amount for a van. Really there’s nothing special about them. God knows who actually pays 42k for a van and that’s only the mid range!!! It was built well in terms of rigidity and I loved the fact it was fast and pulled like a train but...that’s about it...oh it looks good too. I think I have a love/hate thing going on with Transporters.

This song blew me away when I first heard it.

Yeah I was gutted to hear this. I grew up playing drums and studying Pearts style amongst many others. Such a legend!

Rainbow Gum?

The way I charge the company I work for is that I add a 4% admin fee to every job which works out to a fair average when the paper work etc. is raised. For just the assessment on its own is £60 which covers fuel, time travelled and my hourly rate providing the whole assessment is completed within an hour. It’s invoiced separately so the 4% doesn’t apply to assessments. I keep one day a week free to allow for overruns or if work is completed early then I can book in new jobs without hindering the work already booked in advance with domestic clients.

Edit: I’m a fool. Made a guess and didn’t even realise this was from days ago. (Crawls away with embarrassment)

Need contacts for Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambs for occasional larger volume timber/woodchip collection. Artic loads will be very rare so looking for smaller outfits such as Tractor w/ trailer and/or 7.5t vehicles and grab lorries etc. Will need setting up as an approved contractor prior to services. PPQ questionnaire will need to be completed (provided) with supporting documents (RAMS etc). Please let me know if you can help. Kind Regards, Jonny. RFT Services.

The technology will change all the time and I think purchasing will become pointless. Leasing may be the new norm in years to come providing “older” vehicles are recycled correctly.

We are now bringing them in for RFT and Flagship. They’re mostly Hybrids (with the exception of a few fully EV) at the moment but my understanding from fleet is that there’s big tax incentives. I won’t be surprised if they push for a full EV fleet (minus commercial) within the next 8 years. I’m just hoping Rivian release their EV pickup by the time the lease runs out on my truck.?

Press “print screen” if you’re on a laptop and then paste image into “Paint” save and send.

Removal of tree close to footpath, carpark and property
JonnyRFT replied to Dbarnard's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Well that was the best and most insightful answer I’ve received in a long time. Thank you. -
Just went to see one of my closest friends who bought me a Christmas present. A nice tree for my garden. I did ask him if I’ve ever done anything wrong in the past to hurt his feelings...

Removal of tree close to footpath, carpark and property
JonnyRFT replied to Dbarnard's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
No offence taken. I’m often wrong and try to learn from mistakes but my original answer stemmed from the trees size compared to its location. Judging from the picture I would say there’s 9m to the closest property and the impact of the removal of this tree would be tiny. I would also hazard a guess that the tarmac is durable enough at this point to accommodate any further movement in the future after the stump is treated. There’s also a neighbouring tree (maybe Ash?) that may regulate moisture content of the soil over time. But, I was unaware of the 12.5m zone of influence. Could this be the case for the tree in question considering it relatively small size? -
I was once told “The two most important things are your bed and your boots” which in turn gave me enough of an excuse to finally shell out for a pair of these...not like I needed much persuasion in the first place though. £283 from Footwear Country and it’s worth every penny providing they last as long as my step fathers pair which is 6 years.
