    You looked cooler when you had your moustache btw.
  3. Out of the Timberwolf and Schliesing, which is better for entire avian lineages?
  4. Reducing a tulip poplar and an oak. The owner didnt want them cut but it was to please the neighbour, who wants more light. With that in mind, I left more on the far side of each, which had no impact on her light. You cant see the oak cuts from this side. My two week old Fiskars UPX86 pole appeared to be broken today, the chains came off the blade, I dont know how as I used it no problems on Saturday, great tool when it works, would have been useful today.
  5. Spruce grow in slightly acidic conditions , those stones are a limestone. Rain is slightly acid but when it runs off those stones it carries a small amount of calcium ions into the soil. These inhibit the uptake of other necessary metallic ions for the plant. Probably the replanting compromised the roots but it might be worth removing the stones and checking the soil pH is a bit below 6. I serviced the wood fired boiler on a council run nursery that specialised in ericasious plants, their irrigation water came from a chalk aquifer and was of high pH, they had to dilute it with minute amounts of nitric acid to maintain the soil pH a bit less than 6.
  6. Has anyone here done the modification to fit a 362xp full wrap to a 550 mk2? Or made/altered one in any way for the same effect?

  8. Just been down to our lake with the log cabin and as I turned the corner in my car I saw something slide off the roof with a small flash of white.. My initial thought that it was a branch falling from a tree but then a Muntjac ran out with its white tail in the air. I checked on the web and apparently they can go up onto a roof, perhaps searching for food or just having fun. The cabin roof is about 30 degrees and has plastic coated metal corrugated panels which are quite slippery. I have ventured up there to fix the flue and need to crawl up on my hands and knees and use the occasion fastening bolt for a grip. . Anyone else heard of such a thing?
  9. I see. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I'll see if I can improve anything with all the above help. Thanks again, Sean
  10. Hell is other people Pete.
  11. I've a neighbour the other side of a tarmac foot path. They are all a little odd but they keep a tidy garden and themselves largely to themselves. They dont like a spec on their front lawn, so after the cherry blossom drops the lawn has to be cleaned! I object to him blowing the stuff off of his lawn and to the path or over our garden fence as if it is his right! Any garden waste gets tipped onto the brook bank as it is 'natural rotting"...... yet she bollocks me if there is a spec left on the tarmac after I cut my hedge.....

    Hi Mark. Glad to be of help. I’m not an easy person to please so when I say I’m impressed, take it from me, credit is due. I hope this helps lots of you.
  14. Dead pine takedown, dodged the showers ok. Back for the wood tomorrow.

    Was with them for a few years. Their thing was always they were happy with ‘any modification that didn’t increase power at the flywheel.’
  16. This post is like a breath of fresh air! Thanks for sharing. 👍
  17. Working now?

  20. Thanks for the replies. It's just done 1000hrs and hasn't been turned yet. I've just had a quick look and it's worn, particularly near the top, but not as bad as I'd have thought. I'll delve deeper at the weekend!
  21. I think you may be right. It looked bone dry in there, but I didn't have a proper look, wish I had. On the map it shows the start of a stream just behind, so there's obviously water in the vicinity.

    Insurance

    Hello everyone. Over the years I have struggled with insuring my work trucks, as I expect many of you have. I have just insured a 4 x 4 truck with a tow bar, uprated air suspension and future re-mapping of the engine as listed modifications. The truck will soon be taken to be converted to a tipper and a note of that has been made by the insurer and an additional quote provided, for when that is completed. So, I don’t know about you but that’s a list that would make many an insurer crap the bed. This insurer did not blink. They specialise in all sorts of modified vehicles. The policy cost £690 for a current value of £30,000 and a £150 future add on for a total value of £38,000 when the tipping body is done. The policy includes a lot of extras that I would normally expect to have to bolt on and pay for. Best of all, I got to speak to a real person here in old Blighty. No chat bots or online chat. Customer service was VERY professional. So, the name of this firm….. Brentacre Insurance in Swansea. I hope this is of help.
  23. Ice box for storing meat . Rabbits etc .
  24. With bog master tracks! 1d75496f1e82f6f9a0fb08085a2a70b3.mp4
  25. 🤔 Just as well one of the parties challenged the idea.
  26. I honestly think that to be in any public position of authority, payed by the State, you should have held a UK passport only, for at least 5 years and pass a PRC, have nothing more than a few minor traffic offences against your name and have your work and financial history checked and publicly viewable! Absolutely no criminal offences apart from said minor traffic infringements. If you are in a position of authority and transgress, you leave with immediate effect and are eligible for the standard state pension not some gold tinted super pension that seems to go with these robbers!
