  1. Where in the country are you?
  2. I prefer saw horses where you dont have to move the log for each cut. Saves loads of work.
  3. Looks very very slow.
  4. Use single skinned to about 150mm from the celling then change to double skinned. Make the hole bigger by at least the recommended clearance for the type of twin wall you are using (ours is 65mm). Line the hole & celling with fire proof board possibly also down the wall behind the flue if the wall is closer than about 200mm (put the wall & celling board on 25mm spacers so the air can rise behind the board to cool the wall). Use a suitable roof penetration kits to seal it off. Support the flue as much as possible not just relying on the stove & roof fixings. You will need at least 2.5 to 3m of flue from the stove top. Use a good rain cap. Make sure you can either sweep the flue from inside the stove or fit a trap or access point in the single skin bit.
  5. So its Taxi time, not a bigger truck with a drink affected driver behind the wheel.
  6. Time for a taxi more like :thumbdown:
  7. Recipe for disaster then. I think the cordless ones have a very limited market.
  8. Do electric chain saws stop when the bar oil runs low or do you have to keep checking the level?
  9. I use a syringe with no needle.
  10. Managed to strip the clutch on the PTO rotavator & the engine on the tractor has started to knock.
  11. Will depend if they want an enhanced one or a standard one. Normally enhanced are saved for people that work with children or the vulnerable.
  12. As Cedar is about the same cost wise as most other less durable woods is ruling it out sensible?
  13. You will need to slow the speed down using pulleys in both cases.
  14. There is a deminimis rule in agriculture & forestry planning rules where the use is small & incidental to the main use of the site. So if you not doing loads you could mention that to the planners.
  15. Are they spraying them to keep the weight up for selling by the tonne?
  16. Raise it up a bit & save your back.
  17. Just over 7 miles round trip. Nice walk. We did the Pyg track up & the Miners track down last week. No view from the top as it was in the clouds.
  18. Only burn pallets that are marked HT (Heat Treated).
  19. But the chipper was on the trailer not was the trailer. As it was a load on a trailer it matters not what it is or is not.
  20. Cedar finishes nice using floor oils or worktop oils. Apply lots of thin coats & buff between coats.
  21. It could be that they are using the volume to weight conversion method.
  22. Sorry but no you cant. You can convert a 3kva 240v (so 12.5 amps) to 110 v at 27 amps. Or 27amps at 110 to 12.5amps at 240v. Both have the same total power / energy. You cant increase the output power above the input power. Or you could get free power.
  23. The only issue I can see is that you wont be able to shake the bags during filling. You will get 20ish% more in each bag if you shake & fill. They then stay nice & square plus stack neatly. Also when you deliver them (the delivery will shake & settle them) they look full rather than under filled sad sacks.
  24. About another £42.30 per week for holidays 1 x 10.4th to get 5 full weeks paid at same rate inc OT They dont have to pay any sickness above SSP so unless they have sickness pay at normal rate in the contract you cant count it.
  25. Ok so he is your mate so I get why you are doing him a favour but the church has LOADS of money.
