  1. What the spec on that beast of a splitter?
  2. He has been starring at a fearsome moth for 20 minute, i reckon I am good for another 20 before he gets bored.
  3. So today's antics Dinosaur thrown down the stairs, dog fetches said dinosaur jumps on bed, and runs back down the stairs to drop the dinosaur down the narrow gap behind the sofa. Spend 10 minutes trying to dig out the dinosaur, run back upstairs and jump on me till i retrieve the dinosaur . Repeat many times.
  4. That would be perfect if i had the space, i shall have to resort to the tried and tested, lob the dinosaur toy down the stairs
  5. Get to know other sub contractors with suitable machinery that you can call in as required. Sell yourself shamelessly all and sundry, eventually you will bump into the right person with work. Luck, you will need a bit of luck.
  6. I am going to take a chair down the beech, and his ball wanger in a bit. That will get rid of some of his energy.
  7. That lasted about 1/2 an hour, and ended up just giving him the peanut butter container . He's eaten about half the cong, so its unusable. He's raided the fruit bowl, and the kitchen smells of cider from the bits of of apple everywhere. Its food time soon, so he is just staring at me.
  8. You can get 4 bunks of 3m on a lorry, but it has to accurately cut otherwise it won't fit. 2.5m is good for bendy wood, but you won't get more than 20 tonne on a load. 3m seems to be the most popular here in west Wales.
  9. The problem with shears on smaller machines is finding suitable materials. Mine on my 6 tonne Doosan only come out once or twice a year. However when you do find suitable materials they are phenomenally efficient.
  10. Thats a tangled mess and no mistake. Its good for the sole apparently.
  11. Yep that rules those out , I shall have to have another sit down to night and confuse myself .
  12. It was growing at the base of a sycamore in amongst the Ivy. I wouldn't have seen it had i not been checking the base of the tree.
  13. Found these whilst surveying, possibly Entoloma, but not sure. Any thoughts
  14. He generally gets about 2 or 3 days a month from me, but i don't know how much other work he generates. The Rock splitters seem to be reasonable for what they are. But they need additional tables on either side preferably with rollers on one side to minimise the amount of bending. Also the ram speed is quite slow compared with my Thor splitter
  15. One of my subbies has a rock 22 tonne splitter, and is utterly shameless in putting himself forward for dealing with arb waste, when working for me. That seams to work quite well for him. Its not something that I do, so i don't mind.
