  1. Past hour
  2. Sound advice, thanks. With a used saw of its age it's maybe difficult to gauge what you would call acceptable compression, it doesn't drop straight to the floor for sure (I did this soon after removal from packaging) but i would say i'd prefer a little more resistance. I can add a little video later
  3. Yes I was thinking redwoods would be too soft and lack strength. I get the impression elm is fine if totally submerged or buried, less so if wet and dried. We looked to sell shook oak for groins.
  4. A logical three today. Wordle 1,697 3/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  5. Today
  6. Client sounds like a noob trying to save money but then having second thoughts & messing you around. Gonna be one of thoose jobs that when drive by 3 yrs later you will see they haven't done anything with what you left lying about.
  7. Kram, if you have quoted 3 men on the hedge an you think it's doable just stick to your guns. As for the disagreement about the arisings of the tree takedown. You need to make sure you write in your quote exactly what you are planning to do with them as I have had this before. Customer then quibbles and if it was verbal then you are on very rocky ground as they can just say 'that was not my understanding'. So clearly and concisely written quote can save trouble further down the line. Obviously only relevent in those few cases where you have those customers who just don't do as they are told and just get their wallet out. If he wants you to get in and sort that brash out then some boards on the ground is your answer.
  8. Sorry, forgot this. Run, Too, Cede.
  9. Looked up the towing specs of a new one here, 3door, braked 1300kg, unbraked 350kg 😆 but a mate had a new one, loved it, another had the older one, scary to drive if nearing motorway speeds
  10. Yesterday
  11. can't go wrong with most tbh, if it sounds good, holds oil, doesn't leak and digs! buy it. today I through a track for the first time in a few years I think, big boulders under leaf litter and fly tipping. luckily I now have a Dave, my right hand man who was a fitter for 15 years and operates everything, I ate lunch, he put the track on.
  12. Might be Biennial Cropping. Some varieties are more prone to it. One of ours does it, it's a bit annoying. Laxton’s Superb I think it is. Lovely big tasty apple, every two years!
  13. Lambs liver, mash, greens and gravy!
  14. A two part epoxy would be my choice as it has great fuel resistance and as its a bit thicker, theres no risk of it seeping anywhere. Before that I would lightly abrade the surface to help it stick.
  15. I lied about running great. Early on the recoil spring snapped, likely user error as I have had to adjust it before. Anyway after bending a new tang on the end and she was fine after that. I'll get a new one ordered along with spares for my 020t and 2511.
  16. Sweden, about 9k, project with papers to import
  17. Nothing like being happy in your life . 🙂
  18. Oh I completely agree, seens the police are useless , however in this day and age you will get someone stab u in the back by filming it... the stuff you could get away with you cant and because the police are biased - ie all this so called mental health shit, or they came from a bad home etc means that the police are geared up to protect the criminal, including the justice system and prisons...there the worst as the moj are so scared to be sued by a prisoner that they will bend over backwards for them. Nothing will change until u get rid of the human rights shite. Maybe then il happily get involved but unless my life's in danger , I couldnt be bothered .
  19. Any chance of getting mine on too? Name is Duncan Currie...
  20. Last week
  21. Cheeky cnut, I've got all of 4 months yet.
  22. Oh Jesus.
  23. Nah, lime buds look like little boxing gloves.
  24. Lovely day here, saw a brimstone and a peacock butterfly on the dog walk.
  25. Sorry, missed the unidirectional part. No, I use standard pulleys, sometimes with multiple sheaves depending on the situation. I can’t honestly remember working with anyone using Unidirectional ones.
