Deodar thinning, are we getting it wrong?
monkeybusiness replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Tree health care
That rootplate is tiny in relation to the size of the tree - I’d be surprised if there wasn’t evidence of root decay there. -
Surge in sales of used double cabs after Xmas?
monkeybusiness replied to richy_B's topic in Arb-Trucks
I looked at a price for a new Hilux (out of interest as much as anything) - the current one is coming up to 3 years old and I wondered if it was worth swapping whilst it still holds decent value. Turns out a new equivalent is 25% more (after discount etc) than mine was in 2022 - that explains why 2nd hand prices have held up so well but destroyed my man-maths justification to buy a new truck! -
Were you using the extension bar on the Makita? You lose a bit of ‘undoingness’ with each additional joint between the gun and the nut. And charged batteries make a difference too. But it does sound a bit wank to be fair!

He wasn’t talking about the lawn….

Reminds me of a lad who used to subby a bit to me as he was setting himself up to go full time on his own - he wasn’t the best climber (but was a really decent likeable fella). Another subby ended up working for both of us and overheard him talking to a prospective new customers when quoting a (not very difficult) dismantle. His price included the caveat ‘Expect some damage’ said with a totally straight face 😂😂😂! It became a bit of an in-joke when quoting awkward jobs - he was deadly serious though!

This is a relatively long but (in my sad life at least) a really interesting lesson in all that is the Jerry can!

Save the dosh and get spannered boyo, that is definitely a better option! If you already have Makita kit then stick with them, you won’t go wrong.

Exactly this! Labour did every possible thing to undermine attempts to slow down illegal immigration when in opposition, and petulantly canned the Rwanda option as soon as they came to power instead of giving it some support and testing the possibility of an actual deterrent working. They are the worst thing that could have happened to this country (which says a lot after the fingers-in-the-till arseholes they’ve replaced).

Yet!!! What will do a lot will do a little….

If you already have Makita batteries and chargers then get one of these - when you pull the trigger the world stops turning until whatever you’ve attached it to comes loose Mark…

Try Digbits

Should work but might make it a bit wide. How about a big lip on the blade to rest them on?

Start a new thread with all the info - sounds an interesting situation.

Boundary trees to be cut by neighbour

Peregrine’s favoured nesting site is at the top of a nicely pruned German pine, every twitcher knows that… -
They were called shifters on the Australian trawler I worked on 30 years ago.

Is your battery charged and your flywheel free to turn? If you can’t turn it by hand then you need to clear whatever is blocking it (sometimes only a small piece of chip).

Can’t they be buried in a bund at the end of the driving range?

Can you get hold of the rack with needle nosed pliers and pull it gently?

There are a few sheltered generations fortunate enough to have grown up with absolutely no exposure to fear, threat or sacrifice nowadays (including my own) - I don’t think it hurts one bit to keep this front and centre to hopefully instil some sort of recognition of what came before and what might be. I don’t see any sort of one-upmanship where I live for what it’s worth, and really don’t think it has become more of an ‘event’ than it ever used to be (I was actually thinking it had become quite the opposite which I find rather sad).

****************whittery of the highest order, what a pair of weapons.

That puts everything into perspective, with all of the crocodile and lion attacks that take place every year in the UK… How do they compare to chav-dog attacks out of interest?

Wishing to pick yer brains re a "new-to-me" tractor.

This doesn’t look a bad buy for your job imo.

I remember reading about this at the time - what a lovely thing!

Burn as many tyres/caravans/chemical containers/thieves as possible that have accumulated over the last 12 months….
