  1. So long as there is good air flow, the logs will keep for years. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  2. Not your nice shiney chipper that was in the back of your waggon at the show ? Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  3. Three skidding chains for a pound each. A massive bench vice for a fiver. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  4. Not a wood wasp, but a wasp beatle The very rare six legged, two headed one. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  5. I had by passed the battery, and had hooked the jump leads direct to the starter moter. The drain from the leads ment that there was not enough power to turn over the enginne. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  6. The mightyRunning Nuffield
  7. The first time i tried this using cord, some of the fibers got trapped on the edge of the piston and jammed it. Since then i have only ever used the metal screw in one.
  8. Over the last couple of months the mighty nuffield of power has been increasingly difficult to start. Cleaned and checked the battery terminals and earths. Still wont start, jumped it off the landrover and it starts. At the end of the day took the battery home to get it tested, man in the garage said it was ok. Back the following week and the tractor still won't start, so starter moter off and check the connections in the solinoid, all apears to be fine, so check the rest of the electics and clean. Tractor still wont start. Starter moter off again and drop it to the auto electric shop. Week later they can find no fault. B----R Replace positive and earth leads, still won't start Yesterday take starter moter and battery to another auto electic shop, test battery ok, test starter ok. Today spent 4 hours taking apart the electics again, tractor still won't start, it is hot, and the horseflies were bad, therefore i am in a fowl mood. By now i have run out of ideas. Luckily the farmer who owns the land where my timber store is turns up, and says have you tried the landrover battery in the tractor ? Er no as the battery is fine. So i did and the mighty nuffield of power roars into life. So to day i have learnt two thing: 1 Jumps leads drain alot of the power of the battery, hence why i could not jump start it. 2 Check all the simple things first, dispite what you are told
  9. This works for me Each stack holds about 7-8m3. In two months the moisture has dropped from 40% to 27%, dispite the small amount amount of rain we have had over the last couple of months. I have some tarps that cover the tops to over winter.
  10. I have seen it demostrated with a flat piece of leather wrapped around the bowl, so that the momentum of the bowl carried on spinning when the man liffted his leg and the tension released. As soon as the peddle was pressed and the tension re-applied the bowl was spun again. Judging by the sweat dripping of his nose it is still hard work.
  11. I can see the foxs lining up with spotted hankies tied around their necks, a knife and fork in each paw, and licking their lips:D Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  12. That be a gert pile of logs on the sled
  13. From looking at the first i would say chicken of the woods, but lookin at the second i am not so sure. But i am looking at it on my phone, so picture quality not so good. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  14. I only charge per hour plus chemical, as the control of knotweed has to be methodical. If people want a quote i make sure that they understand this, otherwise i will not quote for it. Somethings can not be rushed and this is one of them.
  15. Drought stress when the buds were bursting, and a very wet spring/summer that has caused rust and leaf wilt to bloom and further stress the trees. This is only a guess but i have yet to hear anything better.
  16. Is not the small ring that conects the sling to the krab supposed to be on the outside of the rubber thingy not the inside ?
  17. Ruddy axel has colapsed on my trailer Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  18. Here you go, and you do not have to climb: Hayauchi
  19. It is all in the gravy: fry the holy trinity- very finely chopped onions, carrots (pref grated), and celery (pref grated) over a low heat until very soft. It will take about an hour. Add stock (chicken) and bisto to create the gravy. Fry more onions untill translucent Grill or fry bacon pref a fatty cut such as oyster or streaky until crisp. Fry liver in bacon juices untill it is still pink in the middle. Combine all the above and cook until the liver is cooked. Enjoy
  20. I just wish he had a better taste in music.
  21. You do know what happened to the last one that they tried to load onto a boat............. It is still at the bottom of Milford Haven:lol: P.M your phone number and i will see what i can sort out for you. Do you have any prefrence of species ?
  22. It is definitely the smaller relative of Gunnera, but i can not remember its name, and the walking plant encylopedia (my wife) can not remember either.
  23. Dense hedge= plants one boot apart Medium density= plants two boots apart Light density= plants three boots apart Unless you have size five and below, then double the above
  24. Leaving last years apples on the tree to molder away is not going to help either. A 50/50 wash of Jays fluid will probably help to kill off some of the nasties.
