Does putting an arb back on a tipper count as a modification for insurance?
Doug Tait replied to Peadar's topic in Arb-Trucks
Yes. I'd consider fabricating part of a vehicle to be different from factory spec to be a modification. If nothing else it'll alter the value of the insured vehicle. -

Morning all. Knackered this morning but the weekend's on the horizon! Had one of those days yesterday on a badly compromised council Beech over some gardens. An eco protester positioned in the drop zone, irate neighbours, several different council people visiting site... Diplomacy is hard work. Hoping today I can just rig some timber in peace! Have a good one folks.

Just to update this, @peds suggestion has been the most successful. I need to do it regularly but it gives a huge improvement and hasn't been detrimental to the earbuds in any way. I put them in the oven, propped up in the corners of a baking tray (so they can drain out) for about an hour at 70c, (tried 60c to begin with but wasn't effective). And change the tin foil on the tray after! Haven't felt the need to risk a 'confit' at this point, but thanks for the help chef.

Looks like a horse chestnut......
Doug Tait replied to Orchardman's topic in Tree Identification pictures
I'll guess at Indian Horse Chestnut too. Indian Horse Chestnut? https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/133813-indian-horse-chestnut/ -
I'll try that, be more like a pottering kind of a day.

Morning all. Busman's holiday today, off to the paddock splitting logs with my mate. Find the slow pace of his little electric splitter mundane but the promise of a breakfast en route is motivating me. Have a good one folks.

Please tell me you just had Skippy at the door...

Can I borrow your nail polish Mick, doesn't look like you need it today anyway. Wordle 1,169 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

No actually! Reading the op I thought this is all very familiar, this guy's in the same boat as Rory, oh wait a minute... In my defence I try not to do thinking at the weekend.

Rory I've just realised this is you mate! In my opinion keep going as you are just now. You're looked after at work and learning the job from good people, it gives you the chance to build your skills/experience and a network of people to work with. From what I've seen this last week on site you've got a lot going for you, things that matter to others like good timekeeping, positive attitude, good work ethic. People value these things. And it was good to hear how you value yourself when we talked about pricing. All the best with it, hope you enjoy yourself tomorrow and the new saw is ok!

Morning all. Last day of a week on a nature reserve today. Been dismantling several big Ash and Sycamore from over a listed walled garden. Been a great place to work and an interesting job. One victim with a substantial Ivy stem Hope things are improving Ted, have a good one folks.
