Hi James, do you have any experience with a brushcutter or a chipper? We're based in Ross on Wye and are looking for staff.

The diversion and BS never stops does it lad. Neither one of you can answer the question or provide the answers. You have both been caught out for making up shit at best or lying at worst. Ships you served in is not personal information. You can play your games as much as you want fool but it’s obvious to anyone here reading the posts that I did not ask him for anything that would be classed as “ personal information “ if you had the proof you’d be banging it up in an instant. Arb work 😂😂😂😂says the man who won’t even admit what he does for a living or ever puts any pics up. I’ll be milling next week I’ll maybe put a pic or two up but currently chilling on way back to uk in Barbados you sad little man.

Okay I had changed all the hoses for tight fitting ones and fired it up but it died of fuel starvation. I didn't get more done as a small medical mishap set me back for a while plus I was disinclined to do much other than loaf around as summer went past. Getting back into the swing I tested the carburetor and the inlet needle held pressure. When the purge bulb was used it mostly pulled air. I think this is another case of the main jet check valve failing, either by previous use of compressed air or a needle being poked through it. This strimmer is worthless, and I deprecate their use anyway, it's only a challenge to me. Back in the day my saws had no purge bulbs, small hedgecutters and strimmers did, and AFAIK no check valves. I wondered were check valves used before bulbs so I chacked a carb from a 254 and they were. Now back in my thread about the walbro carb in an einhell https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/133943-walbro-carb-problem/page/8/#findComment-2030690 @bmp01 said he deleted purge systems successfully. Is it possible to also delete/block the main jet check valve so it is only fed from the H screw?? I can see the two idles jet holes in the throttle body would need blocking.

PM'd you.

Obviously if you saw the log with a bandsaw and box the heart in you'll end up with three slabs that are quarter sawn and then some rift sawn either side of this then the upper and lower slabs will be plain sawn. If you're getting a lot of oak passing through this is by far the best option timewise.

Goat Willow / Grey Willow ? Goat/Grey hybrid ?

And giant octopus 🙂

Different kind of spikes... I've been doing some hedging today, next to an oak, wearing my hedging trainers, they are great for being up a ladder. Every time I stood on an acorn in just the right place, one of these sods was poking through then retracting back into the foam. Three attempts to clean inside before I suspected something in the foam. Pulled about 20 from the right shoe and 3 from the left !

Afternoon, We're looking for a climber to fill in a few days here and there. We have a team of 8-10 climbers/groundies, but one of our lead climbers is off travelling for 6 months. We're based in Acton, so not far from Hounslow. What kind of day rate are you looking for? In terms of tickets, do you have your rigging (CS41)? Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, John Barker Operations Manager Treecare Ltd.

I do remember back in 1806 when I was doing my CSwhatever it was that the assessor commented that it was obvious to him I had used a saw for some time but that I had a couple of bad habits . I was undercutting a limb about a foot DIA and pushing the saw with my right thigh like you do ( or maybe you guys don't ) . He said I should keep my leg out of alignment with the bar . So I had to bend a bit more and pull it up with my arms loosing a bout 80% efficiency I thought . However I finished it his way of course . He then asked if we had been tought undercutting as he had not seen any of the other candidates doing it . I said no we hadn't . It was getting on a bit and there was a girl on the course who was struggling a bit and he asked me if I would go and help her out . So I finished some of her cutting and stacking and rasherd up the brash . As far as I can remember he passed us all .

Morning, fresh blue sky day here. Heading to try and loosen an Allan bolt and see where the oils leaking from on the grapple saw this morning then hopefully just tighten something up and get on and finish the job.

I had the same back in the spring . Mouse chewed a bit about a yard long in the loft .

Trying too hard wee man, you are making yourself seem a bit desperate two BS posts 5 hrs ago over different threads.Liking a post that was a reaction to something I admitted was on the wrong thread, a situation that had been amicably resolved 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. You feel the need to have a little dig before bedtime ” Steven” from behind your veil of anonymity.

I had the very same thing happen to me twice, once with a sparrowhawk, that hit my french windows and was unconscious, I checked and as far as I could tell, no bones broken, I placed it it a quiet place and kept an eye on it, within 10-15 minutes it had regained consciousness and after a short time flew off strongly. an almost identical occurrence but with a kingfisher and a different window, that to survived, it was dazed but not knocked out completely, my missus took a picture of it and did a cross stitch picture of it. but the oddest one was a robin being pursued by a sparrohawk that flew inside my open combat jacket and hid until the threat passed, the sparrowhawk veering off rapidly upon seeing me, I was driving the tractor at the time. I remember feeling it's heart beating at a rapid rate. where I was working at the time you only had to pick up a spade and the local robin would follow you to where you started digging and were tame enough to take worms and grubs from your hand.

We are stewing our windfalls this year, and freezing them, should be OK for the rest of the year. Lost most of our apples last winter with mould and rot, so trying this this year - stewed and frozen in muffin trays - single portions - then bagged and into the freezer - kind of works so far. Still got to pick the rest of the apples.
