Complete fuel system clean should do it,maybe diaphrams,run her gently for a tankfull after.

The man sounds very foolish,and his woes are not over yet.

Had Allen grafting for me again today,it was a rather hot one and he worked a long day without any gripes,good man! It was one of those jobs that looked a quick one,but was prolonged,and he shared his grub too! Thanks mate your a gem.

Lovely dog,and a lucky one too I bet!

I wish you all the best in finding one,& if I sounded negative that was not my intent,just urging caution as theres good & bad with the landys.

Have to agree,at five grand you will only get trouble,I think you will want 7.5 thousand up to get a nice thing.

Cost of running a wood burner
geoff replied to wisewood's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
It depends on the size/ insulative qualities of the house,stove size,and how warm you expect the house to be. But I dont think there would be a massive cost save over conventional central heating unless you have access to free /cheap logs. The first thing I would look at is getting the insulation up to or above spec,and the potential for grants to that avail. -
Spot on.

I make you right Hamma.

NO! Just a gentle movement of the shutter finger...that will get you noticed by those who know!

Overnight theft from Wellignton, Somerset.
geoff replied to Tree Man Tom's topic in Stolen Equipment
My father had a lead statue,(yuc),weighed about 150kg,took from his back garden,must have been carried about a hundred yards before going on a motor,at least they had to work for it! -
No mate,it fell naturaly,the roots were shot to pieces,it was part of a row of oaks marking an old boundry,I think the '87' storms had given it a good nudge to starbourd,and the rot set in as it was in a ditch line,and roots had fractured,giving access to fungal decay. It still had a fairly good head of hair,not too much die back in the crown,but she was completely over & standing on her limbs with the remenents of the base up in the air over the ditch. An awkward thing to deal with on you own,going in blind,as I was just told to come and get the old girl out out of the way of the fence line & disc it up. So not guilty this time!

Me too!:laugh1:
-
Well I had to get the bloody tree out of the ditch,the farmer was having his sheep put out in the field & needed to get his fences up,anyway the hole was only an ity bity little hole!
-
Keep it to yourself Steve,we dont want the likes of Mr Bolam and that Lofthouse bloke getting all competitive with us.. It actualy works quite well,this section had rolled back into the ditch,making it awkward to get a strop on,it was about 4 foot diameter,and 5 foot long:001_smile:
-
Well you got luckier than me then..anyway just for Steve,the 'get lumps out of a ditch pics', you need a landy,a small saw,and four bore cuts to the bark, and the same to the cut face,angle them so the cuts taper in as you bore,& the squares just flop out; 017 by geoff321, on Flickr 016 by geoff321, on Flickr 015 by geoff321, on Flickr

Oh Steve,I only got one,and that was a one ton lump of oak that I cut a 'patented geoff strop hold' on, the trunk was in a ditch with all the bramble & blackthorn you could want,big old oak that fell a bit awkward. But felix did see the bar,he was stroking it this morning & crooning gently.:001_smile:will get up any pics I can drag off the old work camera...
-
Thanks for today mate,you turned up so promptly you nearly had the oportunity to get an early morning getting into me skids type of lunge pic, By way of excuse,I was on the end of my 3120 with a six foot bar on it for half of monday,so a bit sore. Thanks again,and see you Thursday:thumbup1:
