I would say the £100k would be roof windows floors doors etc with just bathroom and kitchen heating and plumbing to fit. .? I am looking at £140k for a turn key house hopefully, everything done and dusted. I may have to add another £20k+ to create my own electricity generation

I was going to hold a funeral for Paul today, but my dog found it and ran off with him. He had to be a male because he had a particular liking for neat little mounds
-
All this matters not one jot, it is your insurance that hold the cards and the suing culture that is fuelling the fire. It would be a very rare occurance indeed for you to be able to work in an area where no human being has access -
Good info there Paul, you've certainly taught me a thing or two, thank you
-
Only caught one mole Paul and haven't seen any fresh mounds since, surely one mole can't be responsible for so many mounds. I was getting 2 or 3 fresh mounds daily

Won't effect us anyway Measures in the Queen Speech people will exempt “from health and safety laws those self-employed whose work activities pose no potential risk of harm to others”.

How do Moles find mates It must be hard work tunnelling around until you bump into another

May I introduce you to Eco Micro Arb (EMA)

It's Curtis controllers I am replacing the original with, I now have 4 controllers. I think they are used in golf buggies, fork trucks john Deere gators. I have had to set up an account with Curtis to be able to buy parts for them to repair. I,ve got one running but it non programmable and need to know which vehicle it was off to find out which type of throttle it was programmed for. I,ll get there -
Shouldn't the zz bit be 180 degrees the other way Tom, so the finger thing is at the back

Funnily enough Mike I've been watching log home building vids for the first time today. It very tedious and repetitive work but can save you a huge amount of money

And again

I may have been wrong about the selective weed killer killing my Yew, I am 90 % sure now it is moles,, they are using the narrow trench I dug for them as a motorway. Anywhere where there is mole activity there are dying yew......today

I don't know that one Jon but the first one on the thread is the one I really want and is this.
-
That's exactly my problem, I am always taking (calculated) risks, I will never change. I will always be skint too, any money I earn goes back into something or other

The tiled flooring will be a heat sink for under floor heating. You can basically specify anything you like, raise the wall height by two logs, steepen the roof pitch, move that wall over there, wood floor, solid floor. Had a look at the Scandanavian Jamie, cheers mate

The interior

That's stunning.. This is one we also had in mind, I want hand scribed but the wife is not too keen and prefect the less rustic machined profile
-
Just been back and had a look, your right. They are actually higher consumption and all systems are constant draw for the biological side to work. I need to do some more research.

Happy birthday mate

I think the full edge on a splitter is so that the knife follows the grain if its at a slight angle rather than cutting straight through. ? New splitters come with a deliberately dulled blade, if its a four way head the main blade is dulled and the two side blades are sharp. I think it's because following the grain required much less effort than cutting through it The type of cutter the op wants isn't really a splitter, it's for chewing out stumps so really wants to be sharp and case hardened
-
I can't remember the name of it Alex, it's similar to the bio disc plants but using an air pump as an agitator which is lower power consumption. The biodisc ones use about 1.3kwhs a day, the air pump agitated ones use much less I think and have no moving parts

Another from the bottom of the site looking up in winter obviously
