  1. Bark and lichens says old timber, medullary rays says Oak to me
  2. Get it clean before you weld it.
  3. Many trees are good for wildlife and many are better than Goaty. Its dreadful firewood, it will start sprouting while its in the pile and takes eons to dry out, plenty of rubbish wood is still rubbish wood.
  4. Plant it in your garden then.
  5. Goat willow, kill it now
  6. You are too young, (lucky you) vehicles used to be opposite handed.
  7. I think you mean, not conforming to industry best practice, its definitely not illegal, there would have to be a law prohibiting it for that to be the case
  8. Perhaps you should stop treading on them?
  9. Yeah, I knew they were stickers but I hadn't seen a white base colour before Still a bit concerned about the effectiveness of the hearing protection, and the price

    You need to look better http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/51277-arb-dogs-who-has-one.html http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/157-arbdogs-pics.html
  13. The tree is a kind of retention, its getting boshed off just above that cavity as a habitat pole but its going to have to wait till the residents have moved on. Share away
  14. Hide the grub in the woods and give them a map to find it orienteering style or place the food in a place where they have to work co operatively to get at it
  15. No mate, I was in full on stealth mode and managed to sneak up on them.
  16. Pete is right, the other stuff is spurious or wrong, the bit about vehicle registration is definitely wrong, CPC is driver related and nothing to do with vehicle registration
  17. Or old, dirty and frayed arround the edges
  18. The short answer is yes, its fine as a rigging line but it has limitations. Back in the day for a loooong time it was all we had, everyone used it (or maybe a retired climbing line) It has a low melt point so its not suitable for use with modern friction devices. You can still take a wrap around a tree like we used to in the old days. I still keep a bit around for pulling trees over, its not so tragic if it gets landed on and damaged.
  19. But the housing office isn't the planning office
  20. Here you go David, this is the opposite side to the nest hole which is about a foot or so above the top of this rip out And this is a particularly good example go how not to prune unless you are making habitat
  21. There is a way around the Stihl online sales restriction. Its called Husqvarna.
  22. Opinel utility knife. Just pick the size you like
  23. Have you tried Equicar Equicar 4x4 - 4x4 dismantlers, 4x4 parts - latest updates
  24. To be honest, not checking a spot like that would have been reckless, I have looked into countless dark dirty water filled cavities but fluffy owl chicks is the nicest find yet. Nice to abandon a job for something that's not a pigeon.
