Live edge boot rack of burr elm, finished in resin for a wipe clean finish… one of my favourite timbers.

Second find of this nesting season. Nest would've sat in a cupped hand, 8 eggs in it, we guessed Coal Tit?

I don't get it.

This video is well worth a watch, doesn’t just relate to crypto but to tie broader financial markets

Just noticed there's NO LEGEND for TPOs I'll e mail 😬

. P.S. Re the boundary dispute. Our solicitor is now on the case. Enough said.

Anybody able to tell me what the "regen" function is, or does. Is it perhaps like the "float" function for the actual loader rams, but, if so, why would one want the attatched bucket, dung grape or pallet toes to float or regen? Well I suppose getting the bottom of a bucket level to a concrete floor might be one use, but one would usually dip the leading edge of the bucket a fraction, and float the loader itself. Anyway I have never used it, has anybody, and why, or for what purpose.?

Holy thread resurrection! These little fellas are great fun. Sit and watch you for ages.

Like when you were working?

I see what you did there.

Useful stuff, cheers. I'll look for cleanest lengths then. It had competition all right, long established ash beech and oak on all sides. So hopefully it'll yield some good straight sections.

I honestly don't think that it crosses his mind that he's shit at his job and loathed by half the population.

Did you change any filters, as it might have stirred up crud on what I'm assuming is a 20+ year old chipper. Was there a screen filter in the tank?.

Usually as a TO we would assess and comment on applications, this would then go to the relevant planner who could then make a decision, some would take into consideration the view of the Officer, however sometimes any advice is ignored. We also try to Condition very specifically only for the planner to use a generic one off the shelf that misses any specific requirements.

Very thorough, you get all 5 points. Cheers.

Morning, over cast here! day of digging for me or more like levelling off.

HC my guess too, probably super light compared to sycamore as it looks dry already.

Once I was on a job taking down some dead cottonwoods at a fishing camp in Alaska. They were huge and dead,no bark and hollow,proper "Ghost Tree's". Anyhow,one of them had what was left of its crown over some buildings, we couldn't lower them off and the gear we had was limited to what we could fit in the sea plane we flew out in. I tied my climbing line as high as I could,the lowering rope was attached to the end of that and tied to the davitts on a jet boat in the river. I put my gob in as the boat did its best to stay still holding the line taught cringing at the sight of a cavity where the gob was,I had just started the back cut when Billy bob gave that 454 Big block half a gallon of freedom fluid and the top 40 feet flew into the willows like a giant dart. On those trees you could feel bits hitting the ground inside the tree as they fell down the hollow trunk. Follow me for more safe work practices.

Quite some experience here: 1.Use a Stump Grinder for super-rototilling, regular tillers don't go deep enough. 2. Your best bet for grading is a harley rake or power box rake, best attached to a mini skid. As the UK seems to be the inventor of pointless narrow gates, a walk behind tractor, preferbly with hydro drive would be your second choice. 3. If no harley rake is available, a power harrow or better a stone burrier or both (first pass stone burrier second pass harrow) would be an acceptable option. 4. If none of 2. and 3. Is available, try to get a newer p38 with blade, grind rough grade, use handrake. A micro digger would fit anywhere between these options, if you know how to use it. 5. Compact/roll seed 6. Tell the customer if say don't water everything's lost, they are responsible for germination, avoid responsibility for their lazyness.

If the damage is ankle-height it's probably a strimmer injury. Nothing you can do really, try to minimise moisture availability and it could help slow down the rot, might deter some creepy crawlies. How tall is the tree now, and is it close to anything valuable?

Ive just got a muck grab type currently, and the standard bucket. Again, not alot of choice in manufacturers of grabs, and $$$$.

As dumb as it sounds (I’m forestry based) but I’ve struck up conversations with local lower impact forestry squads around my area on Instagram or Facebook and ended up getting work alongside them so there is that approach. Where are you based? Here in Scotland there’s a Whatsapp group for forestry and arborists and there seems to be boys always posting for groundies.

Hey doobin. Do you not think a new pick up after warranty is up will be a massive loss in depreciation? I bought a cheap 2021 new shape D Max (cheap as in 5-7K less than others advertised). It will be out of warranty shortly, and currently on 94K miles. Done 20,000 in it since last August. My first thought was keep it til it’s 5 years old or 125,000 for Isuzu warranty then flog it and buy another but looking at the price of them it’s a big out put just for a motor to get you to work…
