Hi guys

Anyone have any plans designs on how to build a gambrel shed, bought a couple of canoes so would love the loft space, something around 18'x 11'

Cheers

Got to be Hornbeam, strong, low maintenance,

Ok guys

Not quite the £70 but £110 with a lifetime guarantee, the Felco Fm22 have been mentioned on the forums previously as the Rolls Royce of loppers,got to be worth the extra £40

Appreciate the feedback, consensus seems to favour the fiskars and coronas, but will certainty have a look at others mentioned, seen these fiskars on-line with a decent discount.

hi Guys

On the market again for a decent set of loppers, Don't know how many I've managed to bend, snap,or just loose, my last set was a bacho bypass loppers which were probably the best so far, managed to get a year out of them before the cotter pin fell out,so I'm looking for something light-ish under £70 with rubber grips if possible,

hi guys

After another attempt to break in to my workshop,I've decided to invest in a wireless cctv,but i haven't a clue where to start, i dropped into Maplins and was looking a a system around £200 but sales rep informed me i would struggle to identify anyone as the image quality is crap, but he was kind enough to show me a system over £450. plus £200 to have it installed, Anyone know of or recommend a system that of a decent quality that doesn't cost the earth, recon i would only need two three camera at the most

thanks, new one for me, will the hedge recover?

Hi Guys

Looking for advise on proposed New Arboretum within West lothian, Have managed to get the local schools eco clubs on board who would loved to assist in the planting programme and have spoken to senior council members about proposed site within an existing country park which seemed to go down well. but when i mentioned funding it had them running for cover, some elected members stated that i should try some of the nurseries that we buy our summer bedding from, and ask if some local companies would donate a tree instead of asking for cash Not a bad shout, but all have stated that they could supply the trees but things where to slow to donate a few trees, but try again next year. Any advise would be greatly welcomed.
