A convertible! Very nice!

Nice 1, the weapon of choice for most guys now. 3 mates have that model so must be good.

Hungerford.

Good to know, if I find it may be better oriented 90 degree more I will give one a go

Hi all. I could really use some second (and third, and fourth!) opinions on this situation. I bought a century home in southeast Michigan earlier this year, and the property has many large and tall trees. One of them seems particularly concerning—it’s a double-stem white cedar growing literally within a foot of the foundation: https://imgur.com/aT8vILf During the contingency phase, the previous owner mentioned that an arborist had looked at it in the past and said it wasn’t an issue -- not sure how much I trust this, but it really doesn't matter to me at this point. I had an ISA-certified arborist come by today, and he recommended removing it. Here’s what he said: He believes the tree was intentionally planted around the time the house was built (so roughly 100 years ago). He also said that the tree isn't native to the area and is from Northern Michigan, and that it's a very slow growing tree. He recommends removal because it could eventually affect the foundation, and the branches pose risks to the siding and shingles. They also make it easier for rodents to access the roof -- rodents are gonna get up regardless if that tree exists or not so... His company would remove it by cutting it down in sections from top to bottom, leaving the stump in place. He said that once cut to the stump, a tree like this won’t regrow. I asked about potential foundation issues after removal—since I’ve read that removing trees can sometimes cause soil voids or settling. He explained that once the tree is cut, the remaining stump and roots will simply decay over 10–20 years, and there’s no need to remove them. He said this is standard practice and shouldn’t cause any voids or damage. Can anyone help fact-check his comments, especially the part about soil stability and stump decay, and supposedly no impact on the foundation? One thing that I don't understand is if this tree's can damage the foundation, and if it's really been around for 100 years, it seems like there's a chance my foundation could already be damaged and I just haven't noticed it yet? I’ve also gathered several quotes for the removal, ranging from about $1,000 to $3,000—a pretty wide range. All companies say they’re insured and licensed. Normally, I’d be cautious about going with the lowest bidder for home projects, but I’m wondering if that concern applies here. If they’re insured and properly licensed, is there any real downside to choosing the lowest quote?

I assumed they were Lichens, but only because they didn't look like fungi or moss. They were all on a granite bridge on the edge of Dartmoor. Very damp environment. Dunno about your builders foam. Probably fungi, it should be fairly obvious if it was actually foam.

The problem with the left is it's all just endless talk, you probably want everyone to share their feelings and dreams whilst going auww. Atleast the WI can bake a cake and brew a drink.

Didn't like Javid, ruined The Kirk by taking its business away (we got about), Christmas in The Kirk most years, summers we went to The Mall, gave MacMillans a miss mostly.. but yes, from about age 16 to mid 20s. Not sure we got the 10p pints that year though, though they ring a bell (might be that I did get them and just cannot remember)

To be good, you can't just have good. You also have to have an absence of bad. So my rabbi says anyway.

As others have said: sounds like a flywheel key. Could also try a different spark plug and make sure the coil-flywheel air gap is correct. If that fails, try another coil. I had a Jon 2165 which backfired occasionally and a coil swap fixed that. But hope you got it sorted long ago...!

It was a Beaver's Moon last night.

I'd be the first to support the local production, but there is nothing like that and made in china is everywhere, even my bosch pro pruners are made in china, which was quite disappointing to me. Never mind I came today to report I had a first track derail on machine - but was my fault as I was turning on the big gravel and the stones got into the track derailing the idle wheel. I was lucky enough to load/unload the chipper to/from the trailer with derailed idle wheel and fixing this in the garage. At least I was forced to find the proper tension for track - it's 15-20mm bottom track slack from the roller. Finding this I think my tracks come with too much tension on them.

Apart from the single point of wear, you will get. A stainless swivel bit would be a good upgrade, assuming its alluminium atm.

As I have always understood it the big dawgs are softwood dawgs coz of the thick chunky bark .

Scottish land ownership is pretty murky. Its much harder to work out who owns land, there are a lots of murky community ownership tenures around, the owners can hide bheind companys, trusts or nominees and far more of it is not on a modern map-based registration system. Are worried about trees falling on houses or roads? I think you have a two options. - Pay a solicitor that specialises in land ownership to work out who the owner is. - pay for a tree survey to give to the council or discuss with your house insurers

Which is a mystery as to why Ford didn't sell an E85 Bronco...

JCB have been competitive for machines for me, and I believe they will also offer PL ins.
