You can’t see that much steel on the inside walls of my Clearviews as they are lined with fire bricks. Any exposed steel is rusty though, yes.

I’ve got a couple of clearviews - the baffles are actually wear-items and need replacing every couple of years as they corrode (and also warp). Rust inside a stove is simply one of those things IMO.

Ace little dogs - friends had a pack of them, fierce little buggers!

I’m amazed it isn’t more rusty if you’ve been using it. Inside the firebox will always go rusty - no coating (paint etc) will withstand the heat generated by a running log burner. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Many thanks

Hi - I’m looking for someone/a contact who could mow off a site in Atherstone for me in the next couple of weeks? It was mulched in March and just wants the regrowth knocking back (nothing woody). It doesn’t need a pretty finish - the client just needs to be able to see what they’ve got for surveying purposes. Any interest/leads, please contact me on here. All the best, Dan

How do all! I need a team for a couple of days tree/vegetation removal on a construction site in Grimsby - nothing big to come out, all arisings to be removed from site. The work needs doing in the next week or so. If anyone has availability and fancies it please drop me a line on here. Cheers, Dan

You can write more neatly with a welder than I can with a pen - good skills!

Seconded

This surely? Hire a few acrows and go for it!

Superb. How’s it controlled? Radio control with constant hydraulic feed?

Perfecto, nice new trailer too! What do you have hanging off the business end of the Merlo out of interest?

Sod the bobcat - is that your roto John?!

6 differences…

Rightly or wrongly this turned up to site towing an Ifor plant trailer with attachments. It all looked legit on the road!

Had this on site yesterday - great concept and worked very well (the operator knew his stuff and could get the best out of it to be fair).

It looks a very nice job!

Is that guarding from Hywel Evans? Looks ace!

I agree, but it’s not the first issue you’ve had with this engine or Briggs agent if I remember rightly. How much is a new engine? Definitely less than €3000 I’d bet. I doubt they are a great deal less second hand. You have limited dealer comeback as you purchased abroad so you need to live with the fact that warranty issues have to go through a local Briggs and Stratton muppet who has zero interest or financial benefit to sort your problem. Your previous run-ins with this service agent to date have probably bumped you way way down their priority list… I’d personally buy a new engine and get out there working. (I might even buy it off the prat who is spinning you along, in an attempt to garner some good-will). Once back up and running I would then arrange a part-exchange with a local dealer for another machine, and flog the (eventually) repaired engine on eBay separately. And I’d also put inline filters in my fuel lines, and buy petrol from somewhere else!….

Would it not have been sensible to just buy another engine and bolt it in? Leave the faulty one with the idiot mechanic to sort under warranty while you carry on earning money.

They will ultimately work to change the way electricity is generated (and more importantly stored). When the uptake of electric cars and household battery storage has gained sufficient traction it will be possible for anything plugged into the grid to send power back - this will help to smooth out the peaks and troughs of renewable energy production as there is the capacity for storage which can be called upon (to the benefit of the battery owners) when demand is high. I’m pretty cynical with regards electric vehicles but can totally see how this approach makes sense and could work.
