  1. Depending on how long the Laylandii have been there, there will have been a small amount of soil acidification, but it does not tend to remain in the soil for long (it get leached out by the rain, which i believe you occasionally get in Ireland). So i would plant what you like, just add some well rotted compost when you plant the trees. Generally smaller trees produced the best results in the end. But most people want instant effect, so you will have to plant larger one. Enjoy, it will make a nice change from felling.
  2. Thankyou for that Paul, very handy/ useful
  3. I know that you can out 25% of the value through your books this year, but you can put 25% through for each of the following three years. I would give the tax office a ring, in the past they have been incredabably helpful with various questions that i have had. And they do not charge for there time, unlike accountants.
  4. I have been given one, and i already got one. Anybody want it ? (need to make me laugh) and a few quid to cover P&P
  5. You mean like this ?
  6. When i cut with the bottom side of the bar i cut the angle first then the horizontal. When cutting with the top side of the bar, i cut the horizontal first then the angle.
  7. If you can find the right sized ram, and somebody handy with a welder, you should be able to make one for about £1000, and you can have it what lenght you want.
  8. You have four options: Tractor and winch, but if there is rare ground fauna, there will be ground damage Skyline, expensive, but much less gound damage Horses, much more senitive, and less ground damage. Ring bark and leave for standing deadwood. no ground damage, but not practical if the site has public access. Out of intrest, why is the site a sssi
  9. sycamore do not taint, which is why it is used for food use.
  10. I have kumhos on the back, and mud terrains on the front. The back slips less. Therefore i will be getting kumhos (wqrong spelling i know) all round.
  11. Tie one end to an imovable object, walk away from the imovable object until all the rope is payed out. Pull the rope as hard as you can so that it is all off the ground and let go. Repete 3-4 times. The rope should have sorted itself out by then. Coiling the rope is a pointless exercise, store it like a throwline, load it over your sholder into a suitable containerl. Then next time you need it, it can be used straight from the container.
  12. Assuming the stupid amount of work has started to calm down a bit, yes
  13. 83p seams a little on the cheap side, bearing in mind if it is on a steep site you are going to be working at a slower rate, and given that fuel has rocketed up, you will probably be going through 5l of fuel, plus transport to get to the site. If you fell and sned 100 trees then you will only get £83 ! Don't sell yourself too cheaply.
  14. You had better get to the back of the cue, i have been looking for ages, and still yet to find one that is not on its last legs. Hope your hunting skills are better than mine.
  15. Yer is just showing off now, 4 cuts baah !
  16. No, i know what you what you are trying to say, but you still can not teach something that has a high chance of serious injury in the wrong hands.
  17. The trouble is you are speeking to the converted. (me included, i won't use anything else)
  18. My rayburn regent uses about 5 m3. It heats the water, 2 rads, and we cook most of our food on it.
  19. The trouble with a statement like this is you are forgetting to put chance into the equation, and when it goes wrong you have to put other people into this equation, generally with bad consequences. This is why you are not taught to speed as part of your driving test. This is why we use a chaninsaw with two hands. If you don't then you are excepting the fact that at some point you will have an accident, and are prepared to deal with the consequences. In addition to this due to our ligitgatious socitety if we taught people bad practices then the flood gates would be opened to sue employer, and we would end up with the top handled saw being band.
  20. How much electricty did the dehumidfier use ?
  21. Tete has bigger gonads than anyone. Max respect.
  22. Cheers mate, i will send you the invoice then.
  23. £5m with lycetts, but i might drop back to £2m as i have not done much LA work lately. What ever i decide, it only takes phone call. Always helpful.
  24. I have just come to that conclusion, but it means that i am going to have to part with money. GERRRRRRRR
  25. One that works, unlike mine GERRRRRRR
