Still worth a reasonable amount at the moment then, pop it on arb trader and see what you get offered!

Thank you for all your donations so far

I did mine before but I didn't find it easy to find the link, I had to search the forums for it, maybe worth making a banner or ad at the side with it on permanently? -
20 quid says it'll come down when it's hungry enough
-
Have done, but with the weather at the moment I'd pull a throwline up on the end of the rope and then leave that till the morning

You came home safe, sounds to me like you made the right decision. Not always easy to say no! I refused to do one once, was booked in for a week or so later with a mewp, it didn't need the mewp as we just had to clear up the tree on the deck. I was having similar thoughts. Yours may have been fine but it was an unknown, therefore unacceptable risk.

Can you pm me aswell please or robminchin at Hotmail.com

I always like to see the trees in real life, you can't judge from a photo but really doesn't look like more than a day for a 3 man squad, as I said hard to tell from photo though Doing a large dismantle soon and im just hoping the two days that I've put on it is enough...... R

Cool, over the years I've been involved with a few that have been done from a crane or mewp but normally because of substantial decay, hence not safe to climb or lights that got in the way, but it's always felt time consuming to do.
-
Without starting the mewp/climb debate was their a specific reason for using a mewp and not climbing them, In my experience (and watching the videos seemed to be true) its very time consuming doing such work by mewp R

Me, cracking machine but has its limits, will grind big stumps if your man enough physically. Had a few problems with the engine on mine but it gets a hard life. What else do you want to know? R
-
You normally go acros diagonally for the first few to level the floor, then go with the grain, if you keep the dust you can mix it with pva or similar and use the mix in the cracks, re sand it. Few layers of floor varnish with a light sand as required in between coats. I've done a few and they looked awesome. R

Any videos yet?
-
Can you give details of these recent cases?
-
I think it will be to big for a vauxhall combi or Renault kangoo. I keep meaning to try mine in my combo, but it's a Carlton 13hp one so smaller than yours
-
Doesn't sound to good. I know grinding is hard on these engines. Have to keep my eye open for more spares for mine! Cheers for the feedback, may well give it a miss, at least for a bit longer!
-
How you getting on with these engines? I've just had to fit a new cylinder head to the Honda engine and thinking next time it's a new engine, may order one and keep it ready for when it breaks............
-
I think that would be going to far, would need to comply under PUWER though
-
Tom I've got a 25hp kohler engine, but it pours smoke out, think it's probably the rings at the very least, only really viable if you wanted a donor for a rebuild?

thatch, woodburner, insurance, pain in the *
ukminch replied to woodland dweller's topic in General chat
Being devils advocate here, sounds like that should have been notified and therefore inspected by building control, now I know this doesn't happen but can't blame the insurer for wanting it to meet building regs If I've got the wrong end Of the stick I apologise -
Where abouts is the job? I can probably sort you out with one on the Wirral just of J1 of the M53 so only a short trip through the tunnel. Else for chip there's a green waste site Cronton way but it's £20/load, may be more cost effective than dragging it back to Bolton still
-
Have u got the bearing carriers or do you need then aswell? I have details somewhere from when I did mine but won't be able to find the info for a couple if days if no one comes back to you R
-
I think someone explained earlier:001_tt2:
-
Sorry i disagree, there's very few people with a little bit of practical knowledge that wouldn't know how to do that. It's only really the same as giving a spare key to a random stranger, it's not like car keys where they're all different.
