  1. Due to mistakes made by ukpn and that the linesmen owe me a big favour they are giving me three phase power connection, do I ask for 100 amps per phase I would like to power a welder and a lathe plus a car charger my biggest problem at the moment is getting a meter
  2. Long story but I’m getting a new connection to my house foc three phase, I take it that I can use one phase to power the house and leave the others to run the new workshop dose this stop me having three phase tools in the workshop? im having trouble getting my supplier to instal a meter they want to disconnect the existing single phase but ukpn can’t connect on the same day so we will be without electric they are exchanging a single phase overhead for a three phase, can I instal my own meter reading on the web it seems possible so long as I have my mpan number
  3. I’m having three phase connected to my workshop what amp do I ask for thought 100 would do l know nothing about three phase electrics!
  4. Why no smart meter?
  5. Change your supplier
  6. I was thinking more from a liability view if you have surveyed them and they fall I understand that it would be the hotels insurance that would pay but I’m happy to be corrected
  7. Get them surveyed then do what the survey says
  8. If your going to spend money on a twenty year old chipper and intend to keep it buy new and go for a rebuild or why not sell for spares, if it’s not good enough to make money breaking is it really worth putting a flywheel on? You must of had your money out of it
  9. What’s the winch rated to the one sent to me was 1 tonne
  10. And it’s connected to the front of the machine with two open 12 MM lugs
  11. That’s what I thought bit disappointed when it turned up it was ok for a few logs up a bank but pulling trees over or recovering a stuck tractor I went back to the landrover
  12. The one I had on demo from avant had no blade to drop into the ground just a guard to catch broken ropes think this is a much better idea
  13. Remember the avant is designed to push not pull, winching with the winch attached to the head stock stresses the fixings and relies on the extension ram seals not giving up I’ve tried it never really felt safe much better to put the winch on the rear
  14. I have never been asked for my rolo card did three weeks tree planting at the American embassy with a fence erectors supervisor card and npors digger card so long as you have a card they don’t worry
  15. Dosnt the lack of information tell you something, spares backup etc
  16. Not letting the grass get too long is the trick , most mowers pick up in the wet few will pickup 2 weeks growth,
  17. Have you fertilised them yellowing could be lack of nitrogen try some liquid feed they should colour back quickly if it’s n2
  18. Do whatever comes into your head 5 mins if that after tea before lunch then record content date and those present, get everyone to lead the talks, content can be anything, we have done such as cleaning vehicles,storing saws, gloves, sharpening tools asking for help etc nothing to deep
  19. Bt can’t place a pole in your land to service another property with out your consent, if it also serves you they can but will require way leave, felling poles installed without permission is not good but digging it out and putting it to one side is ok
  20. Rope and a winch rip it out
  21. unessesary co2 production it doesn’t lock up carbon and seems to deplete the amount of 02 avaliable
  22. Been reading about bio char, not really the game changer people think and maybe very bad for the planet
  23. Look at tube clamps they are what you need. Also see tech screws you will need nut drive heavy to attach. The timber to the tubes remember to over clad the corners to protect ends what final finish are you going to use ply won’t last unless it’s marine and then it expensive
  24. Not quite true day rate for long periods is ok especially if multiple jobs and or sites are involved, I work anywhere south of Newcastle we get same rate for anywhere including travel it would be impossible to price these works.
  25. Mine are with aviva
