  1. Could you not hire in a mobile mill?
  2. Yeah the wide angle does make that log look bigger than it is. I think it was only 37inches in diameter from what I remember. Plus the messy guide bar marks are from a smaller saw as the chain on the bigger saw got chewed up by all the nails so that makes the stem look bigger too.
  3. From an Oak (full of nails) to a worktop (full of nails) but it fits nice. Just need to sand and polish and fill in the gaps.
  4. I can only see similarities of a few Oaks the closest being a Downy Oak. But the lobe seems too wide and rounded. As AJStrees says, it could be a Hybrid.
  5. All this week, replenishing trees we’ve removed but planting them in better suited areas.
  6. My cousins car putting all land rovers to shame...kinda
  7. A few of my family have been hit by some flooding up there too apparently. Hebden Bridge area.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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...
  12. Weirdly, it throws my balance off constantly listening to music out of one earpiece.
  13. No joke
  14. I’m already out of my depth...pretending to know what any of this means is too risky...I’m out!
  15. ...yes?
  16. 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.
  17. Yup will be there.
  18. Weirdly warm but mega blustery in Norwich.
  19. 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.
  20. This song blew me away when I first heard it.
  21. Yeah I was gutted to hear this. I grew up playing drums and studying Pearts style amongst many others. Such a legend!
  22. Rainbow Gum?
  23. 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.
  24. Edit: I’m a fool. Made a guess and didn’t even realise this was from days ago. (Crawls away with embarrassment)
