  1. Past hour
  2. Sorry, mark wasn't referring to yourself but I remember an puppet of a house holder somewhere up country who use a ground saw at neck hight and guess what happend . Then the rest of us have more qualifications and legislation to follow
  3. Most structural engineers don't know much why it comes to trees , I once argued with building control about a tree 50ft away from footings being pulled in greensand, he was trying to suggest footings a 16ft Leyland would cause issues , when challenged about it they use a guide from nhbc that's not based on tree species or types of soil/rock below ground level , So really a load of bollocks . Ive also heard of this crap take a 1/3rd off it per year before the trees gone. I'd suggest talk to your house insurance, ultimately if it goes wrong they will foot the bill, also they might suggest they aren't that bothered about tree removal because they deem it far enough away from the house or might stipulate otherwise . Ive had the miss pleasure of dealing with structural engineers in other disciplines they aren't that bright. Ever thought about a professional tree surveyors report ? Might be a bit more in depth than a structural engineer and more relevant.
  4. On a job today I spotted some Ganoderma brackets on a medium sized oak so had a prod about in the cavity between the buttresses. A few minutes later I spotted this crawling across the lawn about 10’ from the tree. Never seen anything like it! IMG_1654.mov IMG_1657.mov
  5. Corrected with italics. Team effort with the gods I reckon, made by a committee.
  6. Today
  7. Quite different from my experiences of A&E - usually been seen reasonably quickly, though I go with the expectation of at least a 1 hour wait, and after care has been really good so far when we have needed it. ... we did get refused treatment once.. but that was because the surgeon knew where we lived, told us to go back home because there was a much more competent surgeon here who would do the job a lot better... we did... drove home, reported to local hospital at midnight, told to be back for 9 am, in and out and in recovery bed by 1, with easter eggs courtesy of the local bikers.
  8. So add yourself to the tip sites, that is a good start if you haven't already. A couple of pointers: Great, yes am sure we can all tip there.. if we know where here is... We could of course give you a call... no we can't, email instead? err, cannot do that either.... But first off register as tip site. Note that most established firms will have somewhere to get rid of their waste sorted, most likely those that use tip sites are away from their home area and want somewhere local to tip to save an hour or 2 round trip.. so you won't get a call every week. Be flexible with what you can take. Split and dried logs tipped are never going to happen but 25kg lumps of wood are more likely if you can cut, split and dry them yourself (assuming this is for firewood)
  9. Israel launches strikes against Hamas leaders in Qatar's capital Doha APPLE.NEWS The Israeli military has said it has targeted the leadership of Hamas with strikes on Qatar's capital Doha. So you sanction killing innocents on a bus you get sent to see the virgins.

  15. especially this summer - my place was underpinned years ago before I bought it, and after the long hot summer this year a few weeks ago my front door started rubbing on the frame in the top left corner, had to shove it shut. Now we've had some rain (to expand the soil and jack it back up again) the door isn't rubbing

  18. Yup I do that too. I use alkalyte aswell for the infrequently used bits of kit. So I calculate the amount to take it from 50:1 to 40:1. However I'm moving back to Apsen because the cans pour better than motomix and I'm too tight to buy their special funnel.

    Oi.
  20. Are you being serious or did you notice that I edited my post from 38 to 37 (because I’ve started to forget my age)?
  21. Anything capable of performing 160 million floating-point operations per second should be able to sort a small tree out.
  22. No-one can answer this completely. Perhaps there is just a vague fear of shrinkable clay issues. For heave, there is such a combination of factors that ALL have to be present that it is statistically unlikely. If the surveyor is in possession of all the facts (geology, foundation depths, history, tree species/age/distances) nothing we can say is of any use. If he isn't, then we don't have the facts and nothing we can say is of any use.
