@Johnsond and @trigger_andy, this sub thing. If they do find it right now, and send down a ROV, which attaches a cable of some description and successfully tows it, how quickly can they bring it up? Can they just go full chat, surface it, undo the bolts and the world cheers? Or do they have to decompress etc.? They have no time. A pal of a mate back home was a rig diver, and I remember him saying the worst part of the job was spending days in a diving bell after a shift.

Cheers Dave, where there’s life there’s hope I suppose. The big ask will be finding them, and as Mick says, can they get there in time?

Apparently the navy subs can’t go deep enough to help anyway. They’re toast. Poor bastards. Oxygen runs out at 11AM on Thursday.

My mate is in the market for a pro battery hedgecutter, long reach. Most dealers down here are Stihl or Husky, and he’d like dealer back up. What is considered the best out there? I’m still a 2-stroke dinosaur, so haven’t paid any attention to battery developments. He’s prepared to pay pro prices for pro performance.
-
I’d be more concerned by the fact that he’s obviously a drug dealer.
-
They’re good enough stock with the Stihl bar and chain on, 1/4” pitch.

The best mod is just buying a stock Echo 2511 TES.

Liquidambar with many competing leaders and possible rot in crotches
Mark Bolam replied to alg's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I’d go with that Mick, but wait until late autumn. -
Sycamore tree and extent of root system
Mark Bolam replied to Pearly's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I would say it will be massively dependent on soil type, water availability, wind, other vegetation and other factors. -
That will be a good strength test.

He’s apologised mate, move on. I’ll have a chat with my pal this weekend and get the inside gen on how it’s really working for her and either call or PM you or put it on here?
-
Glad you got a gaff sorted Eggs. Lass I know down here has a cottage just along from hers she Air b&b’s. Good coin apparently, but a lot of work with cleaning etc. She says single night all-female parties are by far the worst.
-
That doesn’t sound ideal. Get some pics up.
-
Presumably they are coming back to take the rest of it down? If it didn’t fall apart before, it will probably be ok for a bit with 7m of the crown removed.

How to run a job site, do’s and dont’s
Mark Bolam replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Business Management
I would like to point out this is a stock image from FB. I’m far more ugly.

As above (edit - to sime42), but also keep the butts of the second pile off the tips of the first, or you’ll be wrestling all day. Having a t-shirt like this is also important so people know what’s what. Mick’s is in French, obviously.

Lovely spot Jake.

Landscaper who needs climber ‘with his own insurance’?

Yes. Yes. No - unless it has a TPO.

Mewping! 😂

I think it helped that I had stripped it and given it a good going over with the compressor so it was immaculate and he could get straight to work. It was a disgrace when I took the covers off! More blower love in future! You don’t realise how much you need one till you are without one for a week or two!

I am getting a 36’ combine head for my Worky Quad. I’ll be a millionaire come harvest time.

Update on this. It was indeed a stuck needle valve. Carb kit and service, new diaphragms and primer bulb for good measure. £60 all in from a mate, good as new. Thanks for the input fellas.
