  1. Past hour
  2. .325 or 3/8?
  3. Hush now, he is only knarky that this government has gone behind the Brexiteers backs and actually talked nice to the EU, and the French
  4. On the rare occasion I was forced into railway stuff cos I had no other work, the ability to roll a decent joint was always considered a desirable skill. I know guys who do it, I know they wouldn’t be doing it for the minimum wage that’s for sure.
  5. What is brown probably won't grow back again satisfactorily if at all, if that helps you. (Your neighbour might like you a bit more too if they are replaced with something more manageable, kept to fence height unless you want privacy from the overlooking window)

    PayPal

    Paypal is safe and easy to use - as a business and as a customer, protections on both sides - not really a question on that though, more business management. I guess the plus sides are the customers are used to paying for stuff with their phones - click a paypal link, job done where bank transfer - a slight extra hassle putting in all the account numbers. On the other side though, for a one off it is probably a few evenings work setting it all up as a business account, working out the transfer from paypal to business account - stuff like that. I'd be polite and say sorry, your business isn't able to accept paypal payments but the options are.... Air miles.... I've never bothered but what is the saving in £1400 worth of airmiles? £15 maybe? They might go for the next quote, a higher one no doubt, to collect the air miles but will be paying far more for that than any savings in ticket prices.
  7. You haven’t got a clue have you?
  8. Today
  9. Brother broke his shooting stick Made a new stick from elm but it was too bendy so made this one out of ash. Tested my sowing skills on the leather
  10. The unloading was really no bother. The loading is what killed me. It probably wouldn't have fitted on a tipper without massive greedy boards, which a luton in effect has. Character building stuff.
  11. Time Left: 6 days and 19 hours

  12. A good sharp hand saw, for light reductions. when I’m using a chainsaw, I tend to cut off more then I should. to each his own
  13. I've heard the advice that you shouldn't be selling this job; you should be selling the ten after that. Which does sound good but is quite open ended.
  14. Ballistol Universal Oil And not poisonous for cleaning really dirty carabiners I’ve been using a Oral irrigator. i don’t have a air compressor.
  15. I think the idea of using an impact driver as a way of managing the reaction torque is novel. To me it does have the whiff of snake oil about it, if you could suddenly increase cutting tool performance and life by a factor of two then people like Dormer and Sandvik would be all over it. After all cutting tools have been thought about a lot, by a lot of people. I suspect they are twice as good as cheap tat, and more equivalent to the decent ones that few people buy.
  16. Unbelievably good
  17. Should have gone alphabetically Wordle 1,508 4/6* 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. Good Morning All.
  19. Dame Stella Rimington. James Whale.
  20. I run a setup not dissimilar to the one shown.Here the chip stays onsite 90% of the time,the versatility of a tracked machine with a drawbar and winch is unrivaled .
  21. Yesterday
  22. Again I something similar, I use a quad bike and a flail mower, the advantage being the quad bike has other uses about the place, trailer towing, dragging etc.
  23. Yeah man stoke is no problem thanks for that greatly appreciated ill give them a bell
  24. Monkey Puzzle takedowns are like War stories, never a good 1! Evil trees!
  25. That could be a lovely gaff, if/when I settle in a pile of bricks it will be in Suffolk, or the Staffordshire Moorlands/Peak District
  26. I've used Navara Kingcabs for 18 years. You can add a trailer to carry more and/or make up some greedy boards. Do you have a tripod ladder? If so you can use it to hold down several dumpy bags of arisings; stand on the ladder to press the dumpy bags down and to get the front feet down into the back of the buck against the tailgate and strap the thin end to the ladder rack behind the cab (you need one of those to put mesh onto to protect the rear screen). All sounds a bit niche but it's how I've done small tree and hedge work for all that time (with the trailer bit).
