Sadly it is nearly impossible it just like start a engine with out a starter .

Real antidepressant are slow release and long lasting medication fallow doctor advise,and no alcohol for certain as it cancel pills or do shit worst . And try to keep moving don’t stick to bed.

When ting’s going out of control pills needed, just to pass critical point, been there myself.

Ask doctor for help ,it’s more or less but curable, it sound strange but sport helping me when I’m down  and ……my dog the most!

Even if axel brakes it will not affect your safety by any way if you using this pulley as hitch tending device ,however this pulley looks tired and probably time come  to replace it.

Simply put, they cannot afford to keep trading! This is a very odd industry (tree work), a tree bloke is clothed in the best part of a grands worth of kit, a chipper can be £30/40K, a truck another £50k, the cost of training and retraining, insurance, tools to carry out the work etc yet is under valued by the public and those wanting the work. A plumber will get £50k a year and wears a pair of £30 Scruffs.......

I assure you plumber with 50 k is a lazy one🤣

I think Mtronic become very reliable, long time I didn’t hear anything bad about it,not that Echo is bad, I just Mtronics not scary anymore,and performance wise it is better.

I'm a freelance climber with very little work so probably an example you can learn something from. This is how to have 26 days off a month. 

 

I started by doing any day I could get, regardless of how little it paid. Had a pad of money from a previous job and was living at home so rolled any profit back into kit. I did however have fairly hard rules from the beginning on what I wouldn't do. Hedge topping because it's miserable and reductions/topping because I didn't want to get into any fannyish arguments about too much/not enough off etc. So that narrowed the field quite a lot. Firms hiring freelancers just want to hear, "Yes, mate. No problem." I shut a lot of doors or had them shut on me by refusing to prune. As time went on, I became pickier still and started saying removals only. Couldn't even be arsed with deadwooding. 

I also started quite actively discriminating against employers whose ethics don't jive with mine. I don't do dolescum work and I don't help people who do. Council, state schools, quangos like the canals, the various trusts etc. Anything with a whiff of taxpayer and the answer's no. It started with not doing individual jobs and turned into just refusing to deal with people who did any public sector work, me involved or not. 

The thing that probably lost me the most work was when I decided climbers' wages were a piss take and I was going to be the change I wanted to see. I started increasing my rate fairly agressively, usually about double the rate of inflation plus whatever I fancied. I crawled to the top of normal dayrates and then came on cam and kept going. At time of writing, I price to walk away from any day with £380 after day-costs (mainly van fuel). That usually means a day rate starting at £420. The most I've charged is £620. I now only get either big stuff for proper firms or gypsies/landscapers that aren't capable of hiring anyone cheaper because the cheaper guys don't have the gear I do. Nothing in the middle doing normal sized work. That's all looked after by people happy do whatever for whoever for £150-250.

 

I hasten to add I'm good, well equipped and extremely reliable. I'm not the guy with a climbing kit and 200 and a red bull for breakfast, probably slightly late to the yard. I'm the guy who's at site, before you, with everything. But there are only so many people who need that and will pay for it. 

 

So that's how to not fill your diary. Be picky and price yourself like you don't want to work (which I don't). 

I have same attitude and my diary is full except middle summer🤩 nice to see that I’m not alone.

It is not about money, I risk my life every day I don’t give a … about prosecution ,bad people deserve bad action, well neighbours is collateral damage by democratic standards it’s acceptable.

Knotweed is actually pretty good idea,but to be honest for last 10 years I never had problems with customers or I learnt to avoid buggers!

Long time ago customer refused to pay me, I sprinkle entire property with kerb granules , he still have no garden after 15 years, shit people must be treated like shit. I still have 40 kilo left and will use it with no hesitation if I meet another scumbag on my way, also they have cars ,windows, houses ,sheds and so on very easy to get paid if needed.

Grooves is needed in wet climate, or it will be a very sleepy ,all decks I did in Ireland I removed after couple of years, and replaced with paving,concrete,slabs and so on . Too dangerous ,but around a hot tube it’s a must!

Isn’t a Cedar is too soft for decking floor?

If you can’t learn to sharpen a chain ,I don’t think you should touch a chainsaw its a basic skill my wife learned it in 30 minutes with good results!

This 2 in 1  file is rubbish ,i have seen so many  destroyed chains it’s actually dangerous crap,  you don’t need lower rakers every time you touching a chain,anti kickback chains practically don’t need lovering rakers at all ,so I don’t recommend those 2in 1 to anyone,gimmick!Plus 4mm file is pretty flexible and not work well in that setup, in particular if you don’t know what you at!

Forst ST6P there 400 hours no problems yet, seems ST8 have more problems than ST6 , maybe they use ST6platform for ST8 and that cause mechanical problems ? performance wise Forst IS VERY GOOD .Still good dealer nearby is a must and cancel all others small minuses in my opinion.I think build quality wise TP  is best  chipper I had experience with ,but parts and service support is very bad at least in Ireland.

No wooden handles anymore unless for aesthetic purposes, never seen modern plastic handles broken ,only few on internet what is just manufacturing defect I think what is the rare case for Fiskars! 

X27 for big stuff x17 for small one handed operation .

I use 80grams per 4 years ,and I cut hedges 6 mont per year every day ,this about the cost it’s nothing by any consideration. Correct method to replace grease is open gear box remove old crap from it and lubricate with medium amount of new grease don’t put too much it will break.

Best companion to 261 is 500 I !

Body look junk to me🥴 sorry .

It’s a small tree and ugly, just removed .
