Exactly! From the fencer/waller’s point of view both scenarios are a nightmare If he blocks them from doing the work, how do they do the work and get paid? They certainly don’t want to get physical with a member of the public. If he damages the fence/wall every night who is going to pay to repeatedly restart the work? Go to 1:19 seconds

Did this get solved? I’m having the same issue. Occasionally a small drop of the saw will cause the intake pipe/boot to pull away from the carb. I have replaced all springs but I’m unsure if there isn’t something else I’m missing as there is a fair bit of play at the rear of the saw. It’s hard with no other saw to reference from.

i have a Stihl 2 in one sharpener. of late the price for the files just keeps going up. The files are peculiar to stihl, so i am stuck, not being able to shop around. Radmore and Tucker say that , you get about 8 sharpenings to the chain. This is getting pricey. The flat box file is stupidly pricey. i am now considering an electric sharpener. i am hoping that i do not get conned into buying a chinese knock off. afterall sharpening, is a precision operation. yet with this stihl cutomer services talk out of thier backside, resulting in wasting your time. Oregon, on the other hand, are quite helpful, so i am looking into getting one of thier sharpeners. i have a Stihl 120 battery saw. with a 1/4' pico chain. Oregon sharpeners are presently ticking the boxes for me. Yet having one of thiers could be time-consuming, getting to learn how to get it down to an art. The discs are a separate issue. maintaining/dressing the disc. Then changing the discs to address the rakers. Then the chain has to be cleaned before sharpening takes place, the thing is. dealers do not know anything. the onus is on the user

A picture of some. Other saws to add are husqvarnas 357xp 346xp 61 345and another Echo. Picture is of modified 362xp to a 372xp.

That's enough wine for the rest of the year nearly!

keep the woodchipper running then, eh.

They were Type -B, not seen them for years.

This one’s brilliant too!

As above. You could try adding some water saving crystals into the hanging basket soil next year. That'll help.

I'd only seen the POR15 rust preventer on Frost website for painting cars, that's a new one on me thanks.

Point of lay is around 21 weeks

hi lads stay stafe and have a good one

I have waste wood offcuts from kindling manufacture . I can’t store enough to fill an arctic and if I did it would be once a year . I can store enough to fill a high sided tipping trailer and bring it to you . We are based in Andover would need to do the maths . Bring to you for a few quid verses paying local to dispose .

Not much brains needed to spot that

If they fold though I am thinking the new owner would have to pick up the debts - the receivers will then own all the assets to be sold off to the highest bidders? Still going to cost a fortune either way

Edinburgh, Tenement, Top floor flat - immediately makes me think of the film Shallow Grave. OP - dehumidifier is probably the way to go.

Done. Good shout mate. A friend of mine at work arranged to have a representative come in to give us a talk about their work a couple of years back. They deserve and need all the pennies they can get.

Well someone left the keys in the front door didn't they.

They are very good, I've never nicked a pair and would rather these than trousers ,I expect to be shot down soon , but I've never cut arms or wrists , and yes I've done every discipline of Arboriculture and some fair sized takedowns .. However I've seen certain guys bragging how many cuts he had on his arms at the last lv/hv induction at Berkshire was amazing he still had function of his hand . Also one former boss slipped with a sliky after saying top handles are dangerous ..9 stitches later ..they'd have stopped that . £70 a pair and they'll save the damage to your forearms. I've never needed them but should I need them there on. Dunno why the hse ,arb association (seems they like to meddle with stuff ) And utility companies don't enforce the use of them. I expect the will be some one who will winge or have a go .

That looks a well usable bit of kit, very similar to many of them, I have the cheap as chips Kelfri version as I no longer need a larger commercial rig, but my crane is tractor mounted, seals, bearings,tires, are generally easily sourced and replaced if needed, should you be unfortunate to bend or break anything it can be straightened, welded and made stronger with a little bit of back yard ingenuity.
