Jay, are you working for Steve ? SL?

That magnificent creature on the top of the tree is Mike, aka the Redwood removal guy. The shed was definitely there... look here is the proof, there he is again! He gets everywhere that bloke.

That’s not a money shot mate. Here you go... you can thank me later.

It how does that work when you appy for personal finance or a mortgage? Making it look like you earn f’all is good for some things and not others.

I would contact your own Home Insurance, see if they have legal advice. If there was a problem with your property due to this issue at a later date, you would contact them anyway. You have an independent Arborists report, speak to your insurer and let them know the situation and all the correspondence so far. See where you go, I would push for the removal by the council and liability for any further issues relating to this matter.

Santa won't be coming this year. Rudolph got pissed off with the other reindeer and killed them all... Merry Christmas.

Double post

Haha. Not what you think. It is an electric cable set in the concrete. Have it set to about 10c, just stops the cars freezing or any run off freezing. Fairly standard here. I say we have, it is actually being built at the moment.

Again, not exactly sure mate. The Varmepumper is like an aircon system, you can set it to cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The other thing we have is pretty common here and that just circulates and filters air though the rooms... Every room is connected with vents in the roof. You don't adjust temperature at all it just tries to keep a constant ambient temperature throughout the house. Considering there is no natural gas to houses here in Norway, they certainly know how to keep a house warm. A lot of places have underfloor heating as well. We only have that in the bathrooms and the garage.

Soapstone I think it is called. Sorry to be vague, but it was all in when I bought the house. I am sure I would have been a bit more knowledgeable if I had sourced it and had it fitted myself.

Probably in a slight different situation to others in here. The house is 10 years old so retains the heat pretty well. I am also in Norway so we don’t have mains gas to residential properties. There is a Varmepumper (like AC but hot or cool) to circulate warm air and an air system to circulate the air in the property. We have one stove in the kitchen living area and it does very nicely in heating the whole house. If we don’t open the upstairs doors it is such a heat you could sit in ya pants and still sweat. I try and squirrel away decent hardwoods over the year and split and stack for the coming winter. Spruce, Pine and Birch is everywhere so that is a back up. -6c here today but feels lovely and warm in the house proper nips outside. We had the fire going last night but didn’t really stuff anything in after 21.30. Nice residual heat in the downstairs when I got up for an eye lash at 0430. Relit again today about 1100 and have a couple of oak and elm logs on there.

Another couple from the same trip. Taken at Eggum Beach, Lofoten. 01.40.

Cheers. I like this one as well. Midnight sun and moon in the same picture.

Today’s sunset. Well not exactly today’s. The sun, technically didn’t set either. Bodo, Norway. Midnight sun this summer. Lofoten, Norway. Midnight sun.

Well done John, that was probably the most efficient demonstration of 2 rope climbing to the new guidelines. I can't help but feel sorry for you guys as lecturers and the students having to conform to these regs. Good video, albeit of IMO a clumsy and inefficient way to climb a tree.

Why not just stack the rounds 3 high all around you? That way you can split 2 lots of logs and the bottom one acts as a block. Thing is, my Chi is pretty strong right now and I end up splitting all three in one hit... Chuck Norris Stylee!

I used to graft with a guy who had HARD C.NT tatted on his knuckles. He was from a rough area of Middlesbrough and met him whilst working briefly at British Steel, Redcar. I always wondered if he would ever regret them... not only were they jobstoppers but offensive with it.

Tommy, I checked the good times site and Nikole’s Instagram and low and behold... my mates leg was in there. I haven’t seen it for a while, only outlines last time I was back in the UK. Check the quality of this out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFgxkLJHnnf/?igshid=va7na9g6revk

His tattoos are awesome pieces of art. He has spent thousands though.

Sadly, some artists who get a good rep get so into their niche they won’t deviate. Another friend went to Good Times tattoo and had Nicole Lowe from London Ink do his first sleeve. He did research and it is really difficult to get to even see her. He went in after a long wait, took in a picture of Sawasvarti (sp) (Indian goddess) . He is a clever sod my Mate and he reeled her in hook line and sinker. Apparently there are two incarnation of the Goddess, one showing he left nipple and one showing the right nipple. One is Hindi the other is Tibetan Buddhist. Nicole Lowe specialises in Tibetan Buddhist Iconography. When she questioned the showing nipple, he explained it all to her, which she already knew and then insisted she had to do it. He has had both sleeves done now and both legs, all by her. No waiting as he is a valued customer. I think when they get to that level they will pick and choose who to be their canvas. Edit: only one leg.

My friend and her husband own that place. They do some great work. Say hello to Renea from Rich if you go there.
