    Indeed, but I'm not trying to push sales on the strength of my post, simply stating what I've been told As I say I have never encountered a problem that requires the solution that Aspen claims to offer.

    Do any of the equipment manufacturers void their warranty if pump fuel is used?
  3. skyhuck
    So you don't actually know?

    So buy the higher grade, or you can actually filter out the ethanol if you wish, some of the vintage car boys do.

    Yes, buts but that generally on tick over and I think they have some level of vacuum assistance.

    In 25 years of cutting "fumes" have never been an issue. These days I tend to use the higher grade fuel, that apparently does not contain ethanal, as this is said to be better for the gear. But again in all my years in the game I've never had a machine problem caused by fuel, my 66 is a 1999 and still going strong. I just don't get the problem that Aspen is trying to solve. The whole thing just smells of "the emperors new clothes" to me. But of cause this is only my opinion.

    There will be air bricks in the wall below floor level, so the air is from outside. Once a carpet is fitted the floor will be pretty well sealed.

    A lot of mains water comes from boreholes What was it you said earlier

    I've used them for 25years and never cut myself. At least they don't cut deep or remove flesh, so the wound can be closed cleanly, a saw will make a hell of a lot more mess, IMO.

    I had a subbie groundy who had only done a few days for me. He climbed over a 4ft high fence to get some branches, but instead of just throwing his leg over and straddling the fence, he stud on top of the fence, as he jumped off the bottom of his pants got caught, causing him to fall forward, breaking his leg. Months after the incident I go a No Win No Fee claim through from him. He was not told to climb over the fence. My insurance dealt with it ( I had EL ), in the end it was decided it was 60% my fault and 40% his, they said I had not provided a ladder or fence climbing training:confused1: I went back and forth over the fence dozens of times without issue.

    If you burn Willow,Pop,processor waste etc, for the kiln, timber that is generally not wanted and if left to rot will release just the same amount of carbon, there is no increase in carbon. Also I recon there is a fair argument that more carbon may be released from the burning excess damp logs to compensate for their dampness, than would be from the kiln boiler

    I've burned logs all my life, my father was burning logs long before me and still does. We were both shocked by how much better my kiln dried logs burn compared to any seasoned logs we have ever burnt. You can say what you like about seasoned V kilned, I know which I prefer.

    Rate My Hinge.

    skyhuck replied to Frank's topic in General chat

    You don't actually have a hinge at all there, it looks to be pretty much just a step cut, you're lucky it went any where near where you wanted. It could have gone where ever it wanted Did you even cut a gob?

    Its £110 lower, not £90

    Yes a good accountant costs nothing, they save you far more than their bill, ime

    90% of the working population could say the exactly same thing, they just don't bleat on about it like farmers do and generally live in much less desirable areas :001_rolleyes:
  23. skyhuck
    How do you come up with that figure???? I reckon you need between £80K to £100K of turnover per two man team.

    As above, much better seasoned. Some woods will burn (poorly) green, Ash, Hawthorn, etc. But they burn much better dry.
