  1. Honestly that thing is so lightly built that it's probably warped during normal use or was welded up a bit "skew whiff". Looks like it's eaten some stones or gravel,dosnt look too serious to me. The "end to end" movement means forward and aft on the shaft,taillights to tow hitch if you like. I would purge the bearings with grease and spin the rotor by hand with the belts off. The noises you described sound like dry bearings. If you do replace the bearings consider welding a 10mm plate behind the current bearing mount and setting that bearing back on the shaft. That mounting point is total shite imho
  2. Been running Rotatech's for 15 years. Curiously the only blade I have shattered was an original Jensen one.
  3. With all this money being spent in Wales,would it not be better for everyone if the Welsh just moved to Scotland? That way Wales could become the UK's largest national park,plus the Jocks could do with a bit more depth to their gene pool.
  4. This is my personal fave. Just the thing to bring along on your next attempt at K2
  5. Just a window would do,flip the switch * pow* instant heat. I have had that one 8 years.
  6. I honestly think one of those small heaters is going to struggle unless you have it running all day. Bick is going to take alot of heating and there is nothing in the roof to insulate apart from your collection of " Play girl" magazines.
  7. You stuff them with foam rubber. I could make you an ace stove out of a 50kg gass bottle.
  8. Could you not put a wood stove in there? Burning foam rubber ,tyres and old kitchen units would produce loads of quick heat.
  9. Maybe something like this,?it's ace! 21kw,you will need the window open after a few minutes
  10. I have one similar to this,you might need a bigger one for your double garage as mine is in the box on the Mog. Only gripe is the fuel lines were crap,they just degraded. Everyithng else has held up well. 12V 8KW Air Diesel Night Heater 8KW Remote LCD Monitor For Car Truck Motor Boat WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Heater Power: 8KW. 1X 8KW Diesel Heater...
  11. Bitcoin up 130%? Have you cut your lawn?
  12. He bought a bunch of gold at $1500 oz and made 30% in a year.
  13. I heard they kill them using Stingray's.
  14. The oil fund is probably one of the largest hindering factors in Norways social development. Imagine a rich kid with trillions in assets,blowing his allowance on horse racing and crypto safe in the knowledge next month a new check will appear in the mail. The oil fund ironically subsidises alot of the renewable energy initiatives here,that's really a " jobs for the boys" program, much like the 50% subsidiary on electric vehicles which served to only increased the sale of Teslas 400%. Despite being one of Europe's leafiest country's, Norway imports the bulk of its firewood because Labour costs here are to prohibitive .
  15. Speaking for Norway,there are a plethora of home builders,they all cost about the same however. An exception are the kit set builds from the Baltics,they arrive in containers and the Baltic lads knock them up rapidly. You save a bit,especially if you have done the groundwork yourself. Rental properties are taxed as income,you also need 40% down to buy one. You can still leverage it against an existing dwelling. Permitting builds is a nightmare, the government wants to build up not out. Here in Bergen you can't build a stand alone house that doesn't include rental in it,the rent is tax free so it just drives up the host house value. The government wants everyone to walk or cycle,somehow still arrive on time whilst collecting the kids too. There are one hell of alit less people here though,outside the cities you can get a house for £50.No hospitals shops or jobs in those areas though.
  16. I would chuck out all the darkies and bring back national service as well as free milk for children.
  17. Then everyone building it,would have to take a giant pay cut. Are you sure that only 20 years back a house cost 3.5 times average wage?
  18. How much do you think a two bed house should cost?
  19. Picked up a shower cabinet last night from an area that is a bit if a cold sink. It's surrounded by mountains and has a lake in it,showed -19 on my car display. That area can get to -30 or less in Jan/Feb
  20. What are you doing for work now and how much do you need per month? Even if you got a slot tomorrow and climbed every day for four years,you would be 60 competing against 25 year old with the same experience level. If you really want into the industry,get your HGV and try for driver/ groundy. I had an applicant once who was ex RN,he just couldn't understand thatdespite all his courses,age,experience etc that he was still only worth minimum because that's all I could have gotten from him for years.
  21. No cities always fill up,it's where the jobs are
  22. Population growth,people selling up in cities and moving out to work from home?
  23. Guns are bad.
  24. Could we not simply live in tunnels? HD screens as Windows? Let the earth's surface revert back to nature and stuff?
  25. Message Bob at Aspen mate,I am pretty sure he has one. https://www.yell.com/biz/aspen-arb-ltd-guildford-6345392/
