and you come across like a stalker a blind mad one who likes pollards i spoke to someone at a show got a job doing what i said, its where the idea came from. he sent out emails, made enquiries, got bored, went out and found one of the tree firms he wrote to and sat there waiting for brew time. they took him on. said they were impressed with his attitude. pollards are ugly as shit on stick and not particularly good practice. i suppose urine favour of lopping and topping as well are you?
-
not scary just plain ugly. and Mick with "Pollards can be pleasing to look at." yeah sure but only with your eyes closed. or if youre mad. or its dark.
-
f*cking hate repollards. just plain ugly and lazy.
-
"Just repollard them, home in time for Steph’s Packed Lunch with a days money." just means im obviously better than you both, they called me in to fix the bollocks one of you made of their trees last time. *smug face*
-
my future work is often fixing the mess someone else previously made by pollarding something

pull on your big boy pants, approach with a ladder and put said ladder into each stem as high as you can go, then use 2 loop slings girthed around the trunk as footholds/handholds, tied in as appropriate. alternatively, cry off sick and never get back to them.

if you dont like the wages ask for more if you dont get more you must be shit if youve got the skill for the job and enjoy it you do the job and get what youre worth

homeowners going with the cheaper work because they dont realise in advance how much it can go wrong or be done wrong by someone who isnt properly skilled or just doesnt care about quality of work you get paid less for subcontract work because you havent done the legwork in it before getting up the tree. in theory you should maybe get it all on the ground then sod off and leave the clearing up to the main contractor (haha yeah right as if) "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?"

personally i think its admirable to see people are trying to train chimps to use a chainsaw for felling

poachers Problems with Trespassers, Fly tippers & Poachers?
manco replied to Johnboysevern's topic in General chat
the unreported side of fly-tipping is the preventative measures against fly tipping make good dogging spots really hard to find -
this is why they make chainsaw trousers in shades of brown

could be. defo looks like it was meant to go that way. theyre working from there. stupid text strip is right in the way just when the action breaks. looks like a helmet and strap going right. surely nobody would try and drop all that top freefall with a building so close

ive been him, its a wild ass ride. its roped too tight at the bottom, too many turns on it, ropeman didnt let it run. theres the hidden skill in holding a rope, knowing when to let it run free.

but 4mix is still 2stroke. its something fancy but its still 2stroke. and it looks like all the other blowers only more squarish. and again youre all reading too much into a comment just (admittedly not very nicely/helpfully) giggling at someone who just fcuked their new toy. id say its easier to have confused the two aspen rather than to think the new machine wasnt 2stroke. but what do i know im just the man in the street with a garage full of machines getting told off by a bunch of old men who we assume never laughed at someone elses misfortune ever in their long long long lives?
-
well apart from a mower and such, i cant think of anything thats not running on mix. all the handheld stuff ive ever used is 2stroke on mix. all the other blowers in stihl range are 2stroke. theres one hole for fuel none for oil. i feel people are reading too much into my comment and taking it (somehow) more as anger? rather than just pisstaking. unhelpful, and im sure not the most polite, but hardly a warzone.
-
no not angry, a bit harsh maybe. not sure why anyone would think any blower or hand tools wasnt 2 stroke. plus i did say it wasnt helpful
-
well i cant help but youre officially a dick.
