  1. If your doing domestic work ,you can't always get tracked dumpers ,micro loader in on site , ive done most disciplines of tree work now , that although I enjoy what I do it doesn't mentally challenge me ,its boring .. I see myself as I get older driving machines ....we might go full tilt and where u once had foresters doing tree work with machines ,it will go back to being mechanised rather than shimmying up trees , That and also the weather getting stupid .. sadly you can earn more driving plant than climbing trees, when I was younger it was the other way around .
  2. But we're you doing something hard graft before? Doubt it to still be any good
  3. Bull shit all you want , your welcome to your opinion But how long does it take you u to be a decent climber? Isn't over night . The guy who said to me that 16-30 be climbing and then 30-65 you'll be contracts maintenance .. and the is an article on them recently ,must be doing something right to have street tree contracts .
  4. Not on about people like you, the muppets that change a career then have got no chance .
  5. I was told by a very well known firm who do proper trees in london an the south east by the time your 30 in this game they'd put you onto the contracts management side of things ,by the time he's 40 he'd learn the trade but be knackered , how many 40/50 year old are still climbing ? Just pointless his best years are gone
  6. Get a decent accountant/ book keeper and go from there , no point asking tree surgeons about something to do with hmrc
  7. Mitox top handle , clones of the echo 2511t, cheaper light weight and as well built as the echo
  8. Always had a bad experience with teachers ,they weren't the sharpest of tools in my experience and if u didnt learn a certain way you were thick,just because they struggled to teach in a different way ... nice to see a teacher doing a thicko's job ! He must get some 💩 working on the railways and most ex criminals .. lovely
  9. Oh no , railways did attract people from all walks of life , but the money has gone from when railtrack had the contract .... its not one of the best jobs ,bit like power line clearance .. then u have this irata wnk. Always makes me smile about teachers that can't cope with being a teacher...surely teachers know what there getting into before uni 😆.the weekend marking ,6 weeks off teachers training days etc. All you have to follow is follow a syllabus and mark it ,then deal with ofstead .
  10. Can only be npors or cpcs on telehandler ticket lantra or nptc aren't recognised on site , and even if you are on site your a labourer who can drive a forklift
  11. Make a good swingers/fetish venue ......
  12. You'd be better off being an electrician or plumber , not many tools or certs to make decent money .. local work, not weather dependant I'd say by the time u get up to speed you'd be a knacker, both getting experience and your body's ****************ed . If you became an agricultural engineer , hours can be shite ,pay isn't great unless you freelance , then u need the tools. Constructions just as wank with kier getting the dinghy dwellers in to push rates down and get projects in back on price . To be honest most farmers are buggered and have to do a second trade to keep a farm going ..
  13. And not that greater money ,railways has had it now
  14. I know of persimmon doing it on 1970s houses in Dorset, depends on who built them and if any caveat stands. All I was trying to do was ditch clean on a bit of land brought from Taylor woodrow ...complete no no . And u can't beat the nimbys and nosey hunts in dorset ....bear in mind 70% aren't from Dorset!!
  15. Ypu seen some of these caveats on new builds ? Have to ask even if they want to put a patio in or a fence up
  16. Doesn't need pp ,but one thing is if it is a new build they put alot of caveats on the properties ,even dating back to the 1980s. So check with the house builder as some of these tossers dictate everything
  17. If only we could give the neighbour that idea...sit back and watch the show
  18. You'd think if there 'gardners' they'd know how to deal with it , I'm kind of thinking their retirees that are flapping about something ... and they'd br gone before its even a problem.
  19. How old is the the house ? Chances are you won't have issues with the sewer as it will plastic , not clay .. Could have an accident with weed killer seens your both 'gardners'. Also are you worrying about nothing ?
  20. It knackered, arbrex is an out of date practise, if the trees no where property, leave as is ... Start planting a younger crop in front of the mature trees to take over if they fail.
  21. We have a client down the end of the road with this on a chestnut, I explained and said it needs to come out (pink chestnut) its still alive now, similar size, canopy healthy..its in there garden so they opted to leave it until it had to come out !
  22. Think the lads below have answered
  23. U just an end user or are trying to push it into sales ?
  24. Its ok , the fall off from saw Mills, some of it can be quite thin,others can be mega chunky .. Is it cheap?
