  1. You need to build the air up without the engine running, like has been suggested, with a big compressor and fault find that way, you cant hear air leaks with an engine pounding away It does sound like the pressure relief valve
  2. Thats not a border tag Tom, its a lost luggage tag.
  3. Nah, can't be him, he's to sign out of scotland and he's hasn't been out for a wee while
  4. Cheers Tom, just amended it, doh:thumbup1: Been a hard week and it isn't over yet
  5. Sign thats going up. NOTICE WOODCHIP IS CURRENTLY FREE FOR PEOPLE WHO COLLECT IT. HOWEVER, SOME INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN REWARDING MY GENEROSITY BY BRINGING ALONG THEIR GARDEN WASTE TO DUMP, INCLUDING RUBBLE, BOTTLES, GRASS SODS, BOTTLES, PLANT POTS, BUILDERS BAGS AND BUCKETS TO NAME A FEW IF THIS TREND CONTINUES, FREE WOODCHIP WILL CEASE AND PUBLIC ACCESS TO THIS AREA WILL BE STOPPED
  6. I'm going to put a sign up basically shaming them and telling them if it continues, free chip will cease and public access to the area will be stopped
  7. This is how people repay me for providing them with a valuable resourse of free woodchip. They bring along their garden waste, bags of rubble, grass sods, clippings, old flowerpots, old roots, builders bags, pop cans and beer bottles to dump before they fill up with free chip. This is just one days worth, my patience is wearing thin
  8. You must have got your birthday wrong Pete, you dont get stiffys at 46+
  9. They were 36ft to reduce to 30 Ed
  10. You cant see on the photo but the stubs were down three foot or so they were just collapsing as you walked along them
  11. It says rotten stubs. The cut stems that you walk along were all rotten had to keep tied in at all timesbecause they kept giving way and then the conifers themselves were too widely spaced making getting across difficult. Then there were trees planted infront of the connies so when you throw bits out they got caught up in the trees Basically everything that makes trimming conifer hard work all in one place
  12. I'll give the mole plough a go and also lime it, going to get a PH test kit for the areas with vegetation and lime it exactly
  13. Hahaha, google Cloud pruning Andy
  14. I'm 46 mark, after 45 that doesn't happen anymore, it shrivels up and is no longer used.......or am I confusing it for when you get married ??
  15. This may come as a shock to you Tony, but I do have on my desk, not more than 1 foot away, a Jordan Encyclopedia of Fungi
  16. It came true this morning
  17. Pulled this ring out from under a chip pile to split and it was covered in this silk like web of fungus. Mycelium ???
  18. I'm just going to keep mowing the brassed area to a lawn type standard, then maybe let it out for camping and such. I'm going to dig a test hole but I recon the soils only about a foot thick, I dug a couple of telegraph poles in for fence strainers and under the soil was like shaley rock, dry as a bone and soft enough to dig through
  19. Gladiators Type A Same problem as Mozz though, inside of big pocket gets wet through
  20. Problem with drain lee is : I can dig a trench then dig a hole one foot away from the trench, I can then fill the hole with water and it will stay there and not migrate through the soil to the trench because the clay is that heavy
  21. I'll get one when the EA put it in simple terms as to whether or not we need one. If the EA reps say its a grey area how the hell do they expect us to understand it. Simplify !!!!
  22. Sounds like the dog needs putting down
  23. Police how many others have they got away with ? Not being funny but the more people shy away from reporting him the more confident he will become and more violent. He needs a few months behind bars with his wife behind bars in another nick. So what if he does threaten, he get more time if he does, he will be warned there is an injunction against him etc etc Get the fat walla locked up, if he just punched you it's ABH minimum and if he drew blood or broke skin GBH. I did 9 month for ABH, it taught me a valuable lesson
  24. It didn't get stuck Mark, it broke down before I got there
  25. Haha, I was only thinking about a thread like this today. I'm 46 and dont have any problems climbing and can keep my groundy busy, when I cant keep him busy then he can start climbing
