That would be cut resistant. No manufacturer will say cut proof

You can have that for the princely sum of 20 quid plus shipping. PM your deils -
I am in a similar g house move situation and my copy made 42 quid, it was pristine cos I carnt read good neither.

What Garry hasn't mentioned is that Cutler and Richardson, the authors of that document got so concerned about the use of the data that they distanced themselves from it and describing it's the use as inappropriate and statically limited. Having nothing else but a flawed data set they used it anyway. It is though the source of much and repeated scare mongering when the Sunday papers are short of copy, which is probably why your FIL was concerned.

That's the HH legislation, we were on rights by prescription.
-
From memory its 8 years but I think the right goes with the property rather than the person

The pins are usually in "blind" holes so you cant knock them out. There is a special clamp for the job that looks a bit like a pulley drawer but most resort to the pry bar against the winch body method. Just be careful not to damage the casing if you go with that option.

The right to light is covered under the prescriptions act and rather than a right to light it would be better seen as a right to compensation. It is usually applied to the built environment, I know of no case law that applied it to trees or hedges and there were plenty of the latter before the HH law "simplified" things. Interesting that you mention the kitchen because the right is taken to apply to "habitable" rooms and that then excludes rooms of transient use so the kitchen and bathroom don't count. The act also fails to say what reduced level of light would be acceptable and while the owners of property with a high value may be able to engage in a litigatious bun fight in the name of compensation, Mrs Miggins probably can't afford it. In short its a non starter where trees are concerned.

I think you are loosing a lot of energy into that pendulum action

A "pukka" report will consist of (amongst other things) a site visit and investigation with soil "core" sampling, usually down to 700mm. in layman's terms, problems happen when vegetation extracts moisture from soils which causes volumetric changes, essentially the soil shrinks and leaves the structure unsupported. Sail type is a major consideration, some soils are more susceptible than others and some not at all. The property is the biggest single purchase most of us ever make so you are right to be cautious

Given that the tree is indeed in third party ownership, you have no control over it except perhaps by negotiation. Regards the potential subsidence, its far from a given and depends on many factors that I would wager the FIL knows little about. It is a specialist area. Touch base with a surveyor and see what he thinks about subsidence risks before you get into commissioning a survey. Your lender may or may nor insist on a specialist report, it often depends on any recommendations in the surveyors report.

No problem at all, there will however be evidence of your passing

If you want new try Gearmotors, gearboxes, motors, inverters, electric motors | Bonfiglioli If you want used try any agricultural auction Or........ Cheap and ready to go is this Its a 2:1 gearbox with an 1, 3/8 spline input (standard tractor) and a parallel shaft (1" ish) output, the housing is ally so it wont take a huge amount of torque but it should do a band saw, what rating is the motor you want to replace? I may be persuaded to part with this thing of beauty for a good cause, and a consideration of beer tokens. -
Yeah, stop digging, you might find a bomb

Nice tidy work, please tell me they turned the power off for you

Probably not, basing an opinion on something to read on "tinternet" is folly and gives the wrong impression. People with an axe to grind are vocal, people who are satisfied tend to be quiet, the net is an easy place to vent your spleen, that's the net gives such a skewed perspective. The real driver behind the "health and safety culture" is the "risk adverse" insurance underwriters. If its not CE marked, LOLER inspected certificated, compliant, trained, examined and checked, the insurers are likely to drop your claim The insurance people answer to shareholders and if you have a pension pot its ultimately OUR money that's driving the system so that means its probably your fault as well:laugh1:

Nope, mad would imply irrational and that's doing the breed a disservice.
-
Having to hold it still to get a picture is soooooo "Cocker"
-
Clearly they will go bang, just light the blue touch paper on your large industrial crusher I bet the "acts of war" exclusion gave the underwriters a bit of wriggle room

Just chuck a couple of lines in to the effect that all staff will be reminded of the sensitive nature of the site.

Now that's funny, PPE would provide a degree of protection but since the round is probably AP, designed to punch through several inches of steel, I am curious as to what PPE you think would be effective?

I was working in Berlin when the wall came down, the development of the east made ordinance finds a daily occurrence, they had a disposal site near our regular tip off sites and they made it go booooom at least once a week so the gear was still viable. Making those shells do anything would be difficult since they are missing the detonators but if anything could a grinder would be a good choice:laugh1: We found a pile of "88" shells whilst grubbing out a hedge in a village just north if Berlin, the neighbour showed us his collection of "finds" including a panzerfaust. The novelty soon wore off after a couple of sites we were working on got temporary shut downs because of munitions finds. It really was the "wild east" for a while back then.

The fact that they are freelance isn't a relevant factor. In law they are no different than any other hourly paid employee. Any kit in use that falls under the regs needs to have a current inspection regardless of who it belongs to. This is an employer responsibility. In the situation you describe, (under 5 people) there is no legal requirement to record R.A. however that doesn't mean you don't have a duty to make an assessment. Remember that people affected by but not directly involved in the work should also be considered and that can take you into "written recorded". If it hits the fan, the powers that be will be all over it and "Who said what to whom and when" becomes important.

Painting galv is the same as anything else, except you get best results with an etch primer, particularly when its electro plate. A quick rub over to take off any grime then paint with etch primer

That looks like a graft to me
