I bet the funeral director was rubbing his hands together till he realised it was just a paper cut

Husband must be really rough, threatening a woman with a hammer.... Big man he must be, hard as nails he be Now if he's over seventy, then be wary, they are nutters, I had that run in with one the other day

Yes Tom I,m moving everything just over the opposite side of the track cos I'm swapping my land for some over the road Its a right ball ache but will be worth it to get rid of the access rights through my land, the new land will be completely fenced off

I,m liking the idea for a temp store whilst I move the barn

Corrugated roof sheets would be best to cover them or thick rubber pond liner with scaffold boards laid across to stop it drooping in the middle You could even setup a scaffold framed tube across the middle of a run of them so it raised the middle up slightly like a tent so water ran off ?

I'd try my best to come Sounds interesting -
I'd go with that You are correct about the 10% speedo thingy. If you have sat nav it can show the variation in speedo reading quite dramatically if you transfer it from one vehicle to another. My landrover is bang on with the tomtom whereas the landcruiser was 10% below what the sat nav read

Somebody had already been up and installed an anchor for the belay, shame really, I was waiting for the moment he gaffed out and slid down the tree clinging on like a bear

No mark, you can see in the last pic they have used some sort of implement to scrape up under the bark, probably a samuri sword knowing the area

"As an ex-serviceman myself, I couldn’t believe the family of a fallen soldier who died in a war that was still going on would offer me his medals." That comment from the dealer said it all and even selling the shell casings of the gun salute over his coffin !!???? My opinion is she thought nothing of her brother, she thought everything about herself. A two week cruise would leave very little of the money she got. Her brother would have thought more of her had she donated the money to a charity setup to help servicemen injured said war Selfish cow

A Whitebeam I came across today in a park

I've just been to price a job and whilst walking through the garden (which was packed with a vast array of flowers and colour) I noticed that there was one particular plant, only a small one mind, that was lifting with bees None of the other plants or flowers had bees around them, the plant was the Herb Marjoram, an absolute must have if you are planting a be friendly garden

Cheers for that Andy, I need someone to stand holding the post level overnight whilst the concrete sets

Before and after bramble clearing
Dean Lofthouse replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Flail is better as long as you can slow it to a crawl, crawling along with a flail is still faster than strimming with a steel cutting head Plus the flail will mush any soft small deadwood, the rotary tends to lay bramble over rather than cut it so you have to make two passes in either different directions -
Exactly

Initailly 50m but will need another 100m later on James

Before and after bramble clearing
Dean Lofthouse replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I actually did it with a walk behind mower with knackered blades, thats the only reason I used it otherwise it would have been a flail. Your problems is exactly why I ran the tractor through first but it is a compact tractor which is only 7ft high with cab, running through with that first gives you enough to see obstacles and stones etc. You could hire a walk behind and just go through on a very slow crawl that way if you hit anything you can reverse straight away. But if you havent got the headroom this will be the only way, but dont use your own mower I used the walk behind on a low setting that way a stump wont go under and it just pushes big stones or deadwood along instead of it going under the cutter deck -
Thats exactly what I want the wild flower bed to look like at the brewery David, cracking mate, loads of colour
