  1. Nfu charge extra on my insurance for points and won’t let me insure a new driver on the policy with more than three points
  2. The timber posts should have a large diameter to give the most surface area to carry the load of the walkway best dig them in then drive last few inches to tighten them up

    Hernia

    Have had two done one twice go private if you can and get used to watching other people work while you stand, the healing process cannot be shortened as I found out when they say don’t lift it means don’t lift anything! Now got two Kevlar strips around my groin, upside is I’m bullet proof down there
  4. As far as can be worked out, he did some research, took some fresh cut yew trimmings put in a liquidiser with Greek yoghurt, ate a bowlful and went to bed. No note, had a bit of history of depression spoke to him three day’s before, no reason to think he was suicidal
  5. The leaves are most defiantly poisonous, a friend used them,
  6. There are a lot of situations where planting into the ground isn’t possible, potted trees give you the opportunity to give height, shade and screening, you would be missing out by taking the blinker view that you could only plant in the ground
  7. Birch in a pot !! tracery of branches, winter colour for stem, light leaf shade I think it has a lot going for it
  8. Look at the Klou grabvery well made and from uk
  9. Pot size will be down to how much care and time you want to spend on the tree to have a real chance I would be looking for a 850/1000 litre pot with and irrigation system and good drainage, depending on prevailing wind you might also require a guy system deadman would be the least intrusive The trees would have a finite life in the pot before they out grow 10 / 20 years maybe then cut down and start again
  10. Think of a number then add 20% vat tell buyer, if they say yes too cheap , next time think of a bigger number and try again
  11. What are you going to buy anything good is going to be 15k plus and then some rebuild new chassis and bulkhead then you can carry on using for next twenty years until they ban diesel!
  12. I’m sure that the extension lead is from screwfix
  13. Weld plates so the water isn’t trapped at the bottom remove the bark ,you are better off if you can use heartwood, might be too large.think about the top stop water collecting in the joints and most important post pictures when complete
  14. Yes to all three, mostly now groundwork’s,hard landscape ,tree planting,bit of site clearance ,instal gate automation , too old to climb trees anymore and I can recommend doobins posts! Home is north Essex but work all over uk
  15. I’m going to stick my neck out and say yes would have liked to see some bark
  16. Picture of the pot would help and some idea of size
  17. Try sharpening chain
  18. Ask for 800 kg builders bag of sand at the front, personally I would steer clear this truck won’t make you much money and will cost you dont let your desires rule your head you thought somthing was wrong or you wouldn’t have posted here if stubby says avoid I would listen patience one will come along you might have to travel for it
  19. Looking at the picture it looks like the ram is braced of the rear cross member ,navaras are not known for there chassis strength the ram needs to be much further forward like in the pictures see what others say I could be wrong
  20. The answer is how many times have you seen a set up like this, my money is they only had a short ram so made it fit, I would guess the tipper works very quickly give the small amount of ram travel test it put a builders bag full of sand at the cab end see if it tips the strain on the body and hydraulics must be incredible
  21. If the ram is too close to the hinges it tears itself apart, requires a lot more force to lift buck not good for a tree surgeon who regularly overloads
  22. Far better to tap in before meter less chance of being caught, dug through a private supply rigged of a lamppost last yr must have been there for years
  23. And you know who pays that in the long run?? I work for the gas distributors on mains I know why your gas bill is steep I can’t think electricity is any different
  24. Pass it back to the main contractor no conflict of interest . To do properly can take days of observation
