  1. Wouldn't make any difference, building regs would stipulate footings to accommodate the subsidence potential........... As I have already said investigation pits and plasticity test, is the only way to be certain, those conifers would be first on my list of culprits........
  2. Incorrect, heave can happen any time, its only soil re-hydration around the footings........
  3. What about the large visible cracks left the summer dessication/soil drying out? Modern buildings ie house's built in the last 20 years are the only house built to with stand potential tree caused subsidence, all it means is the footing have been excavated deeper..........
  4. Yep I still have the list, I'll dig it out and see what it says about oaks
  5. If you check the NHBC guide to tree planting distances you will see, they [NHBC] think a tree that close could become a problem....... The only proper option is investigations pits, ie dig a series of holes close to the property and see if there are significant amounts of roots visible............ Oh and a proper soil plasticity test
  6. I've been through the same situation countless times, time to walk and forget!
  7. From the hours spent on the phone to HMCE tax is determined on what the item imported is made out of, I was going to import some arb kit from the states and some PHC gear...........
  8. I think we should be proud of our cops, in some parts of the world they are extremely corrupt, and in some places massively feared........... I have a great deal of appreciation for our Ambulance, Police, Fire services, Coast guard, they do a grand job imo, its those magistrates I detest.........
  9. 9 times out of ten it will be a bad earth, give your battery clamps and terminals a once over with wet and dry
  10. What is a ladder?
  11. You should stop advertising in the Sunday Sport....................
  12. I haven't got a problem with the cops having a bit of fun for half an hour, makes seem human to the kids.................
  13. All you need is a pair of those socks I posted, not a lot colder than the North Sea this time of year..............
  14. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCVmc885-ns]YouTube - Retards Worship Tree Stump in Rathkeale[/ame]
  15. These are the socks you want Woolpower- 70% Merino Wool Socks - 800g - Black - 46-48 on eBay (end time 18-Jan-10 22:10:48 GMT) Us Kayak fishing boys were them in the ice cold North Sea this time of year under our drysuits, Marino wool are the best
  16. I like this paragraph SBW says it "naively believed" in the Forestry Commission's commitment to climate change. "It sounds like a bad joke," the campaigning group adds. "How can the Forestry Commission preach in international conferences to developing countries to stop destroying forests in order to feed their people when they propose to destroy this wood just to balance their books?
  17. Words fail me
  18. I'm not saying the listing is a scam or not, BUT I do know of a few dealers in and around Colchester who if sourced at the right price would have no qualms buying 100k worth of saws, and they can barely read or write either........ If your interested best go have a look, if not I'd stop making accusations...
  19. too cheap!
  20. Surely stating Colchester is a false lead too
  21. Roller not sure of the make, all the black japan paint came off too..........
  22. Surely its not worth the aggro of converting, I could shovel that amount out in 10 mins
  23. My mate had one, everything you say is correct
  24. Can't beat a colour coded Truckman type top imo, Snugtop etc
  25. Forget forestry work, there isn't any, unless you have the tickets to drive a forwarder or harvester, or want to join a planting gang.............. Have you been watching Discovery channel lol? welcome to arbtalk, don't be put off by grumpy old gits like me.........
