Don't think bamboo sprouts from top growth; it sure didn't when I chipped my own back onto the ground it had been growing in. If you put the roots through the chipper though...😣

Advice Wanted - Best Timber for Building Windows
topchippyles replied to Bunzena's topic in General chat
Softwood go for douglas fir and harwood oak, idigbo, mahogany or redwood -
About another ridiculous statement you've just made?

It isn't his tree, I doubt he's got any say whether it comes down or not.

Hi - looking for some advice and opinions on the best wood to build some windows. The softwood ones in our current home are less than 10 years old and many are simply rotting away. Despite being reasonably well cared for. The Pine [Deal?] they are made from flexes and moves in the heat and cold - and it's not long before water enters the end-grain and the rot starts. The movement also seems to 'blow' the double glazing units with alarming regularity too. We didn't fit them - and there's no warranty or come back. I've replaced a couple with joinery-made windows made from Accoya. Brilliantly stable and supposedly durable - the problem is they cost a fortune. So I've resolved to make some more replacements myself. Windows have to be wood - not interested in uPVC or aluminium. They will be painted - but want to use a hardwood - or [like Accoya] a durable/chemically altered softwood. It needs to be readily available and not be so exotic as to cost an arm and a leg. Have researched and researched - and just got more confused. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Advice on woodland planting
saintsman54 replied to Big J's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
have a look on ESC (Ecological Site Classification), if you input location, soil moisture and a few other factors, it gives the suitability of various hard and softwood species. Its also possible to model how they would fare with climate change predictions. http://www.forestdss.org.uk/geoforestdss/ -
Hi should have said Fuel up not foul , but cool as new saw

You need to keep tension on the eye when you splice double braid to stop the eye bunching up like Liros splice in your picture.

Used 16 strand is not easy to splice but is possible, the trick is to keep everything smooth and take your time. I did this one last week, admittedly I took the core out as itsvonly being used as a tool lanyard.

I guess everyone has different criteria - fair enough. I've seen stuff (granted maybe its more on the HP side) for £250,000 accepted by funders without any questions...suppose the easy answer is "it depends".

As previously said I was told I’d need it over 25k, first phone call just to enquire about terms/price.

Needing to supply accounts usually isn't anything to do with the deal size, its to do with how much of an assessment the lender can make of the risk of the customer from the information they have from credit referencing agencies. If they can't see from a basic search of company or individual then they will either decline it or ask for accounts to support.

I'll keep climbing on mine though.

Apparently it won't get a CE mark as it's adjustable.
