  1. As I said in that post, thats life, cause its never wet in the summer is it? I still made good money on the job, it was a 8 day job, so one day is not a big deal. If the job goes well and we finish early I don't reduce the price, a price is a price, I win on as many or more than I lose on, so alls good
  2. A plastic wedge is cheaper and lighter.
  3. Looks like a decent piece of kit, its got stabilising wheels to sort the suspension problem out, Ducker gear is pretty good. I'm starting to tempt myself now
  4. Is that really such a problem? I went to Devon for a Bilkie at the beginning of January.
  5. We are into the nesting season now, so care will be needed to check there are no active nests
  6. How about this? unimog hedge cutter | eBay
  7. Is it being done now or in the summer, could make a difference to some…..
  8. Once the inner skip was sacrificed I wonder how long the concrete would last? I once used this method to line a chimney. I used galvanised spiral tube down the stone flue and filled the gap with vermiculite concrete, the tube did corrode away, but the concrete remained.
  9. Thats sounds more like a captive fire, than an air burner. Steve Bullman posted pic's of a steel trailer that one of the contractors he worked for uses, it avoided ground damage.
  10. I wonder if two skips one larger than the other, with the smaller one inside the larger one and the gap filled with vermiculite concrete would work?
  11. £195 including vat. Biggest variety of quality products BRANO Mechanical Wedge 60KN MK4 South Wales
  12. Its sold for more than new price, ebay is bonkers sometimes.
  13. Doesn't look like much of the chip stayed in the bucket
  14. I thought the idea was to use the netting once they are dry.
  15. Round here the last few days that would have very quickly become a pond.
  16. If the rain is no longer falling onto the logs from above, but is tricking down the net, only the wind can blow the water onto the logs off the net. The debris net I have is quite a good wind break, so the distance the wind can blow the water must be limited. So I would expect that if the net is suspended far enough from the logs they should be protected.
  17. I found his post more interesting than a single one of your that I can recall.
  18. So you are finding fault with and laughing at the poor for not have money to invest?
  19. Those springs don't increase its "legal" payload by one ounce, in fact they reduce it as they weigh more than the originals.
  20. If there is sufficient gap between the net and the logs it will.
