What did you do today ?

Well mostly been mowing today and a couple of hedges though at one point id smashed another window :rolleyes: but turned round and it was me 94 year old customer on the floor :( she had passed out and dropped her cuppa so i helped her up and wanted to call the doc but she said no i just hope shes ok then i went to see anpother job and they tried to haggle the price :rolleyes:

 

Heard about the guy who chopped his toe off with a strimmer as he was wearing open toed sandals....unfortunately the toe shot up in the air and knocked his eye out....don't laugh, tis true.Heh,heh.

 

Hi all :D

Sofar today i have walked Arnie, he had his big walk in case it heats up later so is now snoozin in his basket :D

 

I've done my exercises (pilates) mown the front lawn, trimmed the edges (that takes longer than the mowing!) forked over the borders and tidied as I've gone along and planted a plant in the back garden, can't remember the name of it right now but it's a smaller version of the red hot poker and a lemon colour. Having a break now!

 

Busy day today, packing, cleaning, shopping... all the better half's idea of course!

 

Hedge cutting today, I get a fantastic home cooked lunch when I do this particular hedge:

As per my usual, straight enough to put a spirit level, I once won a bet that I could cut a 20' section of hedge to within a height discrepency tolerance of 10mm!!!!



In places its 10' wide.

 

Looks great that:thumb: went to one of my least favorite customers today and around that unbelevably tight corner is a flight of stairs :rolleyes: then a nice bit of mowing and hedgecutting with no stairs all afternoon lol

 

Thanks.

What make is that shreader and is it any good ie fast? with the price of skips I keep toying with buying an elliet major shreader.

 

Its a massport http://www.mowwithus.com/masport_chipper.html I went for it mainly due to its compact size and weight (about 50kg so u can lift it fairly easy) its very quick chipping straight long branches and anything else woody it takes a little longer to shread more leafy stuff as u have to feed it in a little slower

 

thanks, will have a look. A shade cheper than the elliet major aswell, although the major looks more suited to clippings having a larger feed shoot.

 

Ive just had a look at the major and i think your probably right however as u know theres alot of steps around here so i needed someting a little smaller ! another good thing about it is its only 2 bolts to remove and 2 nuts to losen and the top comes off meaning if you really needed to it would fit in to a car

 

yeah , woukldnt fancy getting it around all those steps lol, come to think of it any kit !!!!!!!!!

 

Wow, that's accurate!

 

Apart from trying to shift thousands of bedding plants out to the Parks and seafront I have to make up these hanging baskets in between.

Apart from that just a quiet day.:D

 

They look good strongy, I imagine it must be a satisfiying job, must get a bit hot in there though.

I was working in the comunal gardens Ive pictured previously, loads of spraying and grass cutting.
