  2. looks like a knights helmet (flip down face shield type thing)
  3. near where i grew up! and my old man lives
  4. have our own yard where chippings get spread out and sink into the fens, horse paddocks, allotments ect recieved a flier from AHS recycling (i think) for free tip of chip, brash, logs ect at a peterborough plant never ever pay, someone always wants it
  5. my appoligies, just noticed the title of conversion table-"seasoned and dry"
  6. just coppied it from a list of wood weights and volumes!
  7. back on the 5th, although got 3days of own work to do before then-stop me going mad i know how you feel, ive been compared to a border collie on red bull-need constant attention, lots of exercise, and if im well behaved, a good bone . . . .
  8. just a gore-tex, ex army issue bivi bag-waterproof and breathable example http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Gore-Tex-British-Army-Bivi-Bag-bivy-bivvi-bivvy_W0QQitemZ180306548502QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_SportsLeisure_HikingCamping_Tents_JN?hash=item180306548502&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 although if you go to army surplus, they'll always nock a few quid off/do a deal for alot less. (i got a kit bag for climbing gear and few other bits at same time) both of mine came in at well under £100
  9. just had a look on net, mines about £40 now, but has kept me lovely n warm on the suffolk coast so-far
  10. i got a trakker "big snooze" from the fishing shop in norwich near ketts tavern lovely and soft fleece type lining, nice and big, cant remember howmuch i paid, but i do remember i told him i diddnt want to spend any more than (eg) £50 so he knocked £20 off sale price-top man!
  11. very intresting thread, £258 for that load is bloody good going mate. when i rarely do sell a load, its around £120 for level load. youre doing well! we got same style transit at work, with metal chip box on back approx 1ft higher than cab level, that, with basic tools, timberwolfe 150 chipper (3/4tonne) and around 4wheelbarrows of chip came in at 4238kg-scary. transits are siht for heavy loads
  12. aslong as its a stihl it'll be perfect
  13. anyone else notice how the commentator guy, twice said the climbers diddnt wear harnesses, only spikes. . .whilst they were flip-lining the tree, or the second time, actually putting on something looking suspiciously like a harness?!
  14. if you want foxes, come shooting with us-2 foxes on a half day phesant shoot!
  15. i think he may have meant, "the asking price is not the VALUE of the buisness"
  16. yeah, i do agree with saving mature trees, but this one was too far gone to save for long-double wire braced, large branches hanging on tears, car park, high volume of pedestrians, listed wall. . . personally i would have pollarded it.

    start again, think of future generations :)

  17. cheers david, chipper was on demo-wasnt overly impressed with chipping capability!

    ely oak was condemed, but cathederal wanted to save it for aslong as possible!

    look foward to that drink with fellow EATS!

  18. Shopping i hate shopping, fat people take up to much room in shops, old people go to slow . . . i hate shopping! any news on when you want the wood steve?
  19. if theyre really big, bore ous a bloch on the felling cut edge, and stick a hi-lift jack in to split them apart
  20. (drum roll please. . . . . . .) A axe! now do i get the £450 change?!
