  4. Climber wanted for about 1/2 hrs work in Kinloss Morayshire. call Lee on 07789 484 393 for details
  5. The rain has been hideous up here too...wet cord caked in s###e.....not good. Its been tipping down for a week now. Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
  6. the Bushnell looks good but has anyone had experience of systems that send you a text or email alert if the camera is triggered. were they hardwired, wifi or mobile phone based? there have been a couple of thefts locally so its time to take some precautions. i like the camera idea. i also plan to put up a sign: "THIS YARD IS GOVERNED BY SHARIA LAW" hopefully that will have the desired effect:001_smile:
  7. I thought they were called clegs. A few years back me and the mrs were driven out of a wood near orbost house on skye by a cloud of the buggers. I believe their bite contains an anesthetic so most times you dont feel it, you just see the blood dripping after the fly hops off. There is no doubt they are persistent buggers as just shaking an arm or leg will not dislodge them, you have to take a swipe. They prefer shade so moving into bright sunlight will normally bring relief http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  8. Go belfast / stranraer. Takes about 2.5 hours over water.....then only a weeks ride down to north wales:) http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  9. Beautiful work. Just hope you can get it thru the door, back into the house and in position:) I once spent an hour assembling a pine bed out in the garden only to realise I couldn't fit it up the stairs. Doh! http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  10. The rules are are a nonsense aren't they. So now you have to fork out the best part of £1500 to get a tacho installed. You were obviously intending to joyride up to durness and back non stop:). It really bugs me that we are all paying for an army of officials whose sole aim is to persecute businesses with this red tape crap. I took the decision to sell my trailer as I cannot be doing with this pettifogging bureaucracy. It doesnt make the roads safer, it costs businesses in time and money and is a civil service job creation racket pure and simple. Rant over. The revolution may be televised but it wont be towed. http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  11. If you need a free tip for logs only (no chip) pm me. I know of somewhere in mitcham that may be able to take them. http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  12. I grew up in lb merton close to cannon hill common. Spent much of my time climbing trees and making camps there or fishing in the lake. Happy days. Went back for the first time in 15 years recently and was amazed to find a colony of parakeets down by the lake. In my day we would have caught them and sold them to the pet shop in raynes park.lol . http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  13. I've found thomas higgins solicitors useful for this sort of thing. All done online at reasonable cost. http://Www.thomashiggins.com. Check them out. http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  14. I find an a full artic of softwood (nice straight lengths) will make 20 x 2.5m3 loads I.e. 50m3. Hardwood is more problematic as it is more twisty so more air in the load. However i've found birch you get 45m3, beech or ash more like 40 to 45m3. http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
  15. A large butt is no good if you cant get wood. http://www.kinnoirwoodfuel.co.uk
