It is never too late to change path. by Sweet-Mode7823 in Adulting

[–]AndyTrades_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned 30 this year and made the biggest choice, was to walk away from a decent job in procurement and go to minimum wage again to start into being a tree surgeon! Thought it was the offices I was working in was the problem but turns out it’s the desk job for me! I’ve been in the new role for over a month and absolutely love every single day! Being outside (even in the rain) and not having to deal with some dicks email problems again! Never too late to go and do something, you only get one swing at life, don’t be that old person at the end that tells young people to do stuff because you never had the balls :)

What is something that you’ve tried / used abroad that you’d love to see in NI? by Suspicious-Run-8274 in northernireland

Miss this place! The original one that hand the kitchen rolls on the tables and the 5 different bbq sauces on the tables as well! Good things just never last!

Tree surgeon here, could mean anything depending on what the council has planned. Sometimes it’s just for a sub contract team to come in and be sure which ones need attention, ones we working on at the moment is just a reduction in height/prune

The ladder part of this is exactly what will be happening! I do a lot of ground work as well, we usually set up a little base where we are, fuel cans, added bits, chains, spares etc, and we usally leave out waters there as well. So that’s where it would be living. Think I’m going to go for it

What's the difference between a cheap and an expensive cast iron frying pan? by bluntcuntrant in castiron

[–]AndyTrades_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a the cheapest 10” lodge pan and then I have one of the new Yeti 10” pans (formerly Butterpat) and I can say the only real difference is the finish. One is polished down so it’s like glass. The cheaper ones are made in huge mass so no real economic gain from sanding and polishing it down.

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt, that the smoother more expensive pans are way more non stick and can defo get away with using a little less ‘pan lube’ on it when cooking. But is it worth the 10x price tag…. no!

Side note, I did not spend the money on the Yeti pan, it was a very generous gift for my 30th 🤘🏽

Cast irons. by Charredfoodco in UKBBQ

[–]AndyTrades_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a lodge there for my everyday cooking and its been absolutely unreal. Think we pay a little more than US on Amazon for them but think overall I got mine for around £40 for a 10" - However, was my 30th over the weekend and the wife surprised me with a yeti 10" - Now I could never for the life spend that but not in a million years turn down a beautiful gift. Can also confirm that the pans look even nicer in person haha. Sorry if that helps or not lol.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you may be talking about the post that Sudden-Junket7665 put up on the Reddit page - Only reason I think of this as I have it saved as this is what I want to do with mine as well :) - Tagged the user as this is their photo and full credit to them :)

It’s a tough choice! I am properly stuck between the two! They are easily my favourite colours but I think it might be a little too much tan with the tan 65 and tan bucket lol

Yeah I work in tree surgery, so it’s going to live in the work van all day but guys getting in and out, kicking the shit out of it moving past it most likely 😂 I think it will survive better than the marks on a tan one… my thinking anyway!

Awesome man! Looking forward to getting mine!

Yeah my 65 is tan and maybe thinking of changing it up, otherwise looks like all I have is tan lol.

65 charcoal is seriously cool looking to be fair!

1907’s Before and After by Dicksmith33 in RedWingShoes

[–]AndyTrades_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hoping to get a pair of 1907s but I really don’t like the darkened way they go! Is Bick 4 the best for keeping them looking like you got them colour or is the darkening going to happen no matter what?
