they are very good solid buildings and well planned out. we have a shed thats bricks instead of concrete up to about 8ft and then the rest of the roof and walls are asbestos panelling, its probably 50 years old and still going strong! -
i use OP on everything, always have, i like how it feels and how well it bites. I have a length of armor prus which works well on it, AP seems to work well on all the 16 strand ropes i have.

I'll trade it for a jerry can if you've got one
-

£2300 in the end, we would have liked a little more but it still went for a decent enough price.

we got a firm called Wareing to build a 100ftx50ft shed, concrete panels up to about 6ft then steel panelling up to the roof, it was built for storing vans, they came and built the whole thing including foundations and poured concrete flooring. big roller door and side door next to it. we could get 7 vans in there with 12ft trailers, including room at the side for quad bikes and a storage area at the back for chemicals. its a great shed, id love it for storing all my gear in there, its good to attach a cambium saver to the roof girders and then have comps to see who can get up and touch the roof and down again fastest all in all that was about 50k -
I flake mine into a rope bag. I've got a 45m xtc+ if you can find something tall enough to hang it without either end touching the floor the twists will come out. Needs a bit of stretch to sort it. I store mine for longer periods like this, coil it anti clockwise and as it comes off the floor it goes through a pulley in the roof and down to the hooks. Never twists now. those hooks are from b&q £6 each

with the power of that, id invest in something fairly substantial, youd be able to run a 20t off that. our splitter was an ebay special at £495, its been modified from a point head that kept bending to an axe head, we run it on a JD 6330 and just leave the hydraulics on flow and revs at about 1500, it power through pretty much anything and will cut across the grain! ive seen splitters getting advertsised in a banner here, i saw those, i think it was anyway, at the apf and looked like good solid machines.

is that the 13/75 or the 18/100? im not too interested in the 13/75, doesnt seem as practical as the GM CS100, i think i may have a demo sorted. Fingers crossed

Cheers

My hilux sold on ebay yesterday, guys came and picked it up today, they said they are exporting it to dubai! Nice retirement home for it. If anybody is ever selling old toyotas, those guys are interested! even accident damaged ones they will take, with or without tax and MOT Now to find a new engine for our nissan navara, anybody got one lying around?
-
do you mean NPTC assessments? i think the site would have to be deemed suitable by the assessor and you would have to be registered to be assessed and pay the fees.
-
Cool. What size is that and is that for a day?
-
just mocked up some signs, may not be worth the cost of getting it done though. would turn some heads!
-
cheers, was thinking that may be an idea
-
very tempting, id love a demo of the cs100, got a good job for it coming up.
-
