  1. You know Musk will listen to your conversations, don’t you?

  3. I’m led to believe that’s exactly how it works. You can put whole trees in one end, and if the arse-end is at a garage forecourt you can basically go on holiday for a couple of weeks and come back a millionaire.

  5. Sometimes the most important jobs are the ones you turn down Mick. You’re well out of it. He sounds like the sort of tight-fisted prick who would come after you for every single further ounce of damage that may occur during the takedown.

  7. Boards struck and 2 loads back to the yard. Finish tomorrow. IMG_0307.mov
  8. Back on the wind blown sycamore job with more stokboards for access. Going well. First load took 30 minutes. Stockpiling on the drive now, should have the track off the grass today.

  10. Yes, it will never be a permanent solution, the pH will revert over time. Lime definitely works for grass production though. Forestry wise I think you’re more stuck with what you’ve got. Hence sitka being the predominant tree up north because it will grow in sour ground.
  11. Not in fields they weren’t.
  12. Was he smoking the herbs? You should be looking at at least a 4-1 return on investment on grass. It’s not magic, like. You can’t grow pineapples.

  14. If you can run 2 vehicles that’s the route I’d go down, 4WD king cab tipper.
  15. Sorry you had to lose it but it was the right choice.

  17. What a fantastic room!
  18. Did you change the bar/sprocket/chain?

    Stokboard

    I’ve drilled all the boards and strips and peg them down with 6 inch nails. Works well if you are careful on the loader, you can’t razz about like you can in the summer. Yes, I wouldn’t fancy them on a cross slope.
  21. It can make a huge difference. The 2511 is numb on 3/8P but rips on 1/4.

    I can find 12mm for £30. I’m done now anyway!
