this being one of the reasons i just dont grind stumps. we cut close to ground level. clients are advised stump grinding is significantly extra and hinted against bothering. but when i have done it we grind the main body of the stump to below soil level, if possible grind the whole of main stump body. i dont chase roots unless theyre on the surface.

i price for the job. if it takes longer, sucks to be me. some you win some you lose. as long as the money is coming in its good, im not out to get rich quick occasionally i get a job done quicker and easier and its a good win.

Sprinklers in front-yard with tree in the middle - looking for advice
manco replied to misuszatek's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
always worry. even if its fine. smirk when you exit a lift, just to worry people. -
Top. always. but not the new one. its just not the same.

what you need is an old model mini, and a small chap to fit the winch to the car, somewhere nice and solid like the front wing. a setup like that could be quite popular.

am i the only one thinking the older and more burn-ready stuff is on the bottom and youre gonna be starting off with newer wood? im thinking a side to side approach is best, unless you do some kinda top in bottom out system.

cambium saver and a rope with one spliced eye?

i think its trying to decide how much i believe the claims of being sick im looking for a third, it will make a difference and from 3 down to 2 for a day is a lot better than just on my own. its the usual story, when do you start getting fed up of the sick days and excuses. dont wanna knock someone with genuine health problems but i need reliability.

so how far do you let it go when a casual labourer keeps calling in sick and letting you down for jobs? major pain in the arse cos theres only me and him. hes a likeable enough lad but this is getting too many times now. usually says hes been throwing up. this time its feeling dizzy which im suspecting is a result of the pub yesterday and just didnt want to work today but where do you find the replacement if you kick him up the road?

meant budget to determine how many to buy are we talking just 2 saws or lets get a whole bunch 550 and 576 both a good call and decent saws that tackle a lot used the 201 less so im not as familiar as with the 540 i havent found much my 576 wont take on with a good bar and chain
-
think priority 1 is budget then what dealer you have locally for repair what size stuff are you gonna tackle 540 and 201 pretty much the same the little echo isnt bad for the size of it

shit

know what? hes got a beard. says it all.

i was more like suggesting just get a couple of bits of velcro yourself for like a quid from a craft shop?
-
shhh, am i the only one thinking how pointless this thing is? twenty something quid for basically a couple of bits of velcro strapping? zubat even has loops for straps to go through. yes its a pain in the arse when my zubat dangles away from me clipped to the harness but ill get over it.

Lisa Jenkins in 3rd year. or have i misunderstood the title? haha

id say theres nothing wrong with taking the time to chip away slowly and carefully at it. but how big are we talking? my favoured plan would be a top rope over a good fork in the ash and tip tie the pine. base cut the pine and keep it upright just knocking a bit off the bottom then lower it down and knock off another lump. but then that hinges on having a good rope and friction device, and getting a top rope in.
-
sounds to me like a brilliant idea. less logs to shift off site, plus probably a bit on top of the job for building the fence. have to assume there is a good depth to it. and a decent base prepared. very insect friendly too.

yes. enough said.

they were supposed to be a new lighter weight boot for climbing, supposed to be hitting shelves early 2019 i think. then got delayed because of some production problem. not heard anything since. wondered if anyone else had. seems theres a lot of 2.0 boots hitting shelves since then.
