  1. H - beam, some second hand forks and a hydraulic top link and a welder, jobs a goodun!
  2. It's amazing how a couple of words can really cause anxiety. I had similar when I first started, I got a verbal go ahead from the planning officer of where I was working was not a pto, I cracked on with the job. A few weeks later, all hell broke loose, local paper calling my number, rspb getting their 2p in, land owners going nuts. I called the same guy back up, he met me on site, there was a simple boundary issue that the guy hadn't thought of and all was good. It did involve a week of me being worried sick and thinking my world was going to end. Get all go a heads in writing from now on. Call the main person in charge and arrange a meeting and sort it out face to face.
  3. They couldn't do anything for her laser eyes though.
  4. I am tired of having to spend my time on here editing the swearing and the covering up of swearing with xxx££&&@@@. It is certainly the minority, I am no longer going to edit these posts, they will be deleted in full.
  5. She's in her bed now with a cool bandage fast asleep . She wouldn't come out of her drowsiness so the vet came and got me, when she saw me she got up, but I held a stuff upper lip, just . We are lucky to have such a good caring vets. Thanks guys:)
  6. Are they Rotty Russell's? They are awesome looking!
  7. You just have to love idiots who smash bottles out in the woods. There's a fresh growth of wild garlic so she didn't stand a chance of seeing it:( I had to carry her back for 10 minutes while she bled like a stuck pig! She's now getting knocked out for a stitch up.
  8. A sunny day last week, this was a horrible ash getting a mighty topping! It's nieghbour had snapped out demolishing a shed.
  9. Another 1 of Kumba having a cuppa and sunbathing today. Managed to strip the border at the weekend, she looks like a pup again and a lot happier aswell
  10. I removed 12 ugly old rhoddies a few weeks back and it was finally dry enough to get the roots out today:)
  11. Good video, I only 1 hand when it can't kick back and get me and is well away from my ropes.
  12. Oh and this place is very helpfull too!
  13. I use I good diesel mechanic, he had never worked on a Mog before, he's good and worked it out, also having a good working relationship with Alec Price is brilliant, many a time he has saved me hours and money by a simple text or chat about problems or concerns.
  14. I went to go outdoors this morning but the rock harnesses don't have side D's. Going to see if my sequoia will tighten up enough to hold an 8 year old:001_rolleyes:
  15. I passed him tonight not far from yours:001_smile:
  16. Great winches. Hook it onto something, flick the springy lever up and pull winch back, it will unravel. You can't slacken when under tension unless you have fingers like Wolverine. I've had a £20 version for over 10 years.
  17. 12 big armfuls of 10' branches equal 1 wheely bin load. Easy peasy
