Sorry. been really busy lately. (TONS of school work, since it's getting close to the end of the year. Haven't had too much free time lately. I've still got 2 major papers due, plus end of the year finals, so it's staking up. Thanks for the thread Ekka!!

If you are looking for work just post in the announcements area, same if you are looking for staff. Job posts just come and go as req'd, the regulars etc read them.

| Re: Grahamcg how's it going?
Hey all. Been fairly busy in the back yard lately! Much tree and bush trimming needed and I'm running absolutely everything that gets lopped off through my recently acquired 5.5hp petrol mulcher (which, given the price of unleaded these days is sending me broke!), spreading it all over the garden beds in an attempt to combat the current dry-spell in South-East Queensland. If only that damn bush turkey would stop shifting it around once I've laid it all! Also taken up surfing so spending a bit of time down the Gold Coast. Great way to kill a day! Anyway, hope all is well at your end. Cheers, Grahamcg |

| Re: squad143 how's it going?
Hey Ekka, Bet you thought I may never reply. Things are going good, thanks for asking. Busy but good. Tree work is a part-time business for me (Full Time Firefighter in Toronto). I also instruct technical rescue to our National Disaster team (CAN-TF3). All other time is spent with the wife and kids. I love working with trees (removals) and have been doing this sort of work (limited) for the past 25 years. Last year I purchased a chipper (Bandit 65xl - great machine) and business has been steadily booming. I mainly do removals in "cottage country" but have increased my city work lately. Really enjoy the site and your videos. Keep up the great work. Cheers.  BTW: Beer in the day, Whiskey at night. |

| Re: Ekka how's it going?
Hey, look at all you guys been hiding away!  Today I hauled my stump grinder to a job, maybe 25km away. Put up the barriers etc and ready to let her rip. Crank, crank and crank but no start. Plugs out do a check, no spark. Pack it all up and come home, strip it down. A little transistor "thingy" which somehow does something with the spark is supposed to be earthed. It is on a flimsy bracket and bolted to the engine copping like mega vebration and the bracket broke. Then it rattled around in there etc. Anyway, now I await parts, coil and transistor thingo. Of course during all this cranking and cranking I also flattened the battery.  Anyway, I have a good knowledge of Honda 24hp GX670 engines now, that's a new carby a few weeks ago and now electrics. Just hope parts arrive quick or I'll lose the jobs!!!!!

| Re: vitex42 how's it going?
Not bad here The economic downturn has made things a bit quiet but we have blanket tree protection here so there's lots of reporting work to do! My kids live with my ex in Sydney and I only see them in the school holidays - hoping to get them climbing trees soon. I am getting into recreational tree climbing as exercise because I don't hang around in trees all day anymore. I go climbing about once a week with a few mates who work for the council or consult - good exercise. Leaves the council parks boys scratching their heads when they find a pile of leaves lying in a circle in the park after we've been climbing in a big elm and kicking bits of epicormic growth off...... I climb the odd tree (just to look) and every so often I take one down or prune it. Bit dangerous to do that though - you lose a lot of practice when you don't climb every day! My name's Gerard |

There are some extremely dodgy types around who 'flat-top' trees, but in Auckland at least the general public is getting pretty educated about correct tree care. Trouble is, arborist's reports cost so much that dodgy developers will cut a tree down sooner than pay for the report that they need to get council consent! And yeah, I like beer. Only I can't drink it like I used to (hurts too much) I'm quite keen on the idea of recreational tree climbing - think it could still develop as a pastime / sport in places like NZ and Oz Ekka, had your kids climbing trees yet? | |

My girls are 11 and 14 so I have no excuse anymore..... Will have to get a harness that fits them though. Gives me a reason to bankrupt the biz buying a Petzl Sequoia and I reckon it'll fit them fine |
