  1. Got to be one of the best lunges of this year
  2. Good point Stereo, I must make the yard Spick and span before inviting any planner to site. Been down today, tidying up a bit. First two are before and after, others are my yard and the land.
  3. You can get private contractors in if you wish as long as they are this that and the other qualified I think
  4. The mog has only done 22,000 kms
  5. Unimog on flebay mercedes unimog with hiab and forestry trailer | eBay
  6. Just had estimate back for electric supply to site: £120k They haven't visited site nor studied any power grid maps, they are proposing to bring a new 11kv supply 800 yards from a main road when there's buildings less than half that distance away. I'll have to organise a site visit otherwise the projects dead in the water
  7. Ht75 is a pole pruner You can fit a trimming head on but allow for replacing the complete shaft once a year at £200 as the bearings in the shaft are not made to with stand the forces involved to power a trimmer head. That said, if you keep the trimming head well lubed as I do, the shaft may last a bit longer as mine as done two years. Buying of the bay, you can bet your bottom dollar that the shaft bearings will be on their way out. Price? As little as possible because of the above. I just bought new to save the hassle and factor the cost into my trimming jobs
  8. S42 6RH at the very end ( at the dead end ) of middle road
  9. There's a firm in Keighley, Yorkshire, that specialise in mortgaging and insuring Eco homes, as in straw bale homes, log homes, timber framed etc

  11. That takes being a tight northerner to a whole new level I,ve had a play
  12. Went to look at one being built in woodland near chesterfield today. I've decided this is the one I will go for with a couple of small alterations and should come in at £120k ready to move in. Next hurdle, make an appointment to see planning to see if it would be something they would consider
  13. From a chained tree to a roped tree
  14. I,ll keep posted Charlie.
  15. Cheers Charlie, good to know...the trees in the photo are actually coming out next year and I sprayed a good dose round them on purpose as I want to see if it affects them. This is the first time I have used tordon so want to see what it does and doesn't do
  16. Sprayed with Tordon 22k 24 hours ago. Awesome stuff, everything but the grass is wilted even the thistle and bramble.
  17. I,ve got an infestation of them, literally everywhere
  18. Just keep it covered rob, it only itches and blisters if exposed to light. Just spent this afternoon spraying the bloody stuff
  19. Uk are doing well, Humple who ??
  20. Watching Eurovision simply for comedy entertainment value, it's a joke right ????
  21. The inventors of some languages must have been on a totally different plane to their counterparts in the singing dept
  22. Who invented singing? ..and how did whoever invented language know to make words rhyme so singing could be invented ?
  23. I bought it from some rogue from Manchester Rob who is often seen frequenting stalybridge
  24. I have 2 gallon of Tordon 22k which i think is perfect for spraying the blighters whilst not affecting the grass. Does anyone know the mixing ratio for knapsack
