    you are indeed correct Stuart , most bigger tanks had demolition charges fitted ( although a few Panthers were caught and used by the British ) our version of this was called the Sherman , which blew itself up , most times ( unfortunately with our trooops in it ) K

    Khriss replied to Wolfie's topic in General chat

    Yup at Spud et al, every saw I ever picked up had fuel tank full of shit. The high frequency engine vibration breaks crap down to silt which WILL get past a filter . Pack of 10 filters fr a tenner off eBay , airline yr tanks every month. New filter. Not rocket science. K That is ...... K

    @aspenarb it an engineering absurdity to do it the way Forst have, my only contribution could be thicker blade n use non countersunk fastners. If there is room in housing. K

    There are various ways to counter heave, trenching soil to give a differential in soil dessication with barrier membranes, expanded foam lining of structures, sleeving drains and service pipes against root intrusion. And......... ! Actuly building yr house properly ( Persimmon homes take note) k

    @daltontrees put better than i did. Basically good advice, countermeasures, fail safes, forward planning costs money. Free advice..... Well, K

    I would swap over a cheap Chinese carb - see if symptoms change . Probly 10 squid off eBay. Would renew yr pipes regardless. K

    Possibly use a 90* sharpen? Slower but less pull out of the bar groove. K

    Boston is little portugal. Actually prefer the Eastern bloc lads, work hard. But every other white english i have worked with been hopeless. And im white english. K
  20. Khriss
    Which is exactly a choice you can make. But one i would not carry out without evidence. K

    Half our staff are Irish, other half are Eastern bloc, so wont be throwing any stones ? K

    ..... I think Cornwall is safe for a bit ? k

    Removing a tree which then causes heave, to yours or a neighbouring property with foreknowledge wouldnt be defendable. Hence a soil report ( which includes drains which can often be part of the issue ) Knowing wot yr house is sat on is a worthwhile cost. I am NOT saying heave WILL occur here, but cost of damage could be bitter pill if the structure has not got heave protection. Hence structural survey. Its a balancing act. Which is why i got the white sheet n rattly chains out ? but data gives you a position to judge best course. K

    @benedmonds - good - I always ask for a Structural damage report and a Soil report, often a Arb report too ( thou I often do that myself as it is Our trees they are claiming for soil shrinkage ) . a) this weeds out the chancers who are looking for a wad to fix their shoddy extension built without Planning Permission b) if it is a serious claim , their insurance company will actually do this ( actionable nuisance etc ) c) although nearly all claims are on London clay - a few are not - last proper claim was on a gravel substrate , the builder just did not go down the extra metre to it ! d) Our trees 'might be' causing soil shrinkage - but so are the honking great Leylandii in their next doors garden ! Then it gets interesting .... K
