Hello again,

Sorry to be bothersome, but I logged in on this page and cant seem to get out of this page, so I can post my questions on chainsaws in a more suitable forum. I know this is the welcome thread but I hope you dont mind if I talk about chainsaws here, so I can pick up more information, until i know how to move to another page.

I have seen Stihl saws on the web and they are too expensive for me, at the moment, in fact I looked up those other saws that you mentioned, they all look good and are available in the UK. But they are still a bit too dear. I have to watch my spending, till I have a few jobs under my belt.

I have been to my local B&Q Homestore this morning and the salesman sold me a great saw for much less than the other ones. Its a Ryobi, I cant wait to use it. The salesman said I should wear eye protection and gloves. He tried to sell me some but I am not that gullible, I wear glasses anyway and I have my gardening gloves at home. These people! they just dont know when to stop.
He also sold me 2 stroke oil, chainsaw oil and a container for the fuel mix though.

I have my first job on Monday, removing a small cypress bush from my neighbours garden.

I know I said I was a tree surgeon but to be honest with you all, I am totally new to this profession. I have very limited resources to start with apart from my sister's computer, which is great for internet advice and my new saw + car,ladders and small trailer.

What is the most important thing to buy next? A local gardener said I should buy a blower? is this a good idea, because I have seen them at a reasonable price in B&Q.

Sorry again to have asked these questions here, how do I get out of this welcome page once | have logged in?

Regards
Anton
