Yeah that came up. That is a lot of trees! What sort of scale are you planting?
-
Click go advanced or post reply and choose manage attachments. Then choose a piccy. That one isn't showing for me!

8mm maillon through the hole and into a snap lock. Perfect IMO!
-
In what way? To get them in straight lines? Or to track how many have been planted? We used a quad bike for planting ours in relatively straight and close lines.

My granddad has the heart of a lion and a lifetime ban from Edinburgh zoo.

I took this Thai bird back to my hotel last night. I was just about to rip her knickers off when I saw an allergy advice sign on them. It said "Warning: May Contain Nuts".

My thought would be a degrading flammulina velutipes. Due to a the cluster and colouring.

i did the same project last year, on a very similar subject, i did it on training and CPD. ill see what i can dig out, i had some problems with the powerpoint presentation which didnt fair too well for me.

Well December is my birthday month so I'm happy with that. I wish she would come round and give me a present!
-
I thought they wanted that out first. It would have been a real shame! Although the wood would have made me some wedge! Haha excuse the pun! Glad it's staying though! Monster of a tree. Biggest in the area!
-
Now she isn't next to me I'll say December! Or that one in the White bikini with the jetwash! It's the best reason to spend time in there. Although I have my little heaters on and it gets toasty in there. Vents in the roof stop it getting too stuffy. Perfect!

I was taking about 6 inches off a hedge, it was about 30" thick and was using a saw with a 24" bar to walk along and chop it to where I wanted it. Out comes the neighbour kicking of because I'm cutting into their half of the hedge! I just tidied up what I had cut and left a stupid looking step. It was being taken down ffrom about 6' to about 5'6". If you wanted you could look over but you didn't need to. The customer wanted it to be manageable for herself which is what it was after I'd done it. The neighbour took me upstairs in her house to make me look at how stupid I'd made the hedge look. When she was making herself look more stupid tbh.

Hopefully. There's some good work here. More from them in the future too hopefully if it all goes well. The pine and the sycamore want coming out. Sycamore is almost dead and doesn't look to clever especially because it's near the house!
-
heres some pics from my outings today, i love my monkeypuzzle shot, taken with my iphone camera, just thought it would look good, came out a cracker! the pine apparently came down with a whoossshhh as it was full of snow!

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
RobRainford replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
saw this on the back of a sycamore stem, very small fungi and the camera on my phone couldnt pick them up well enough, the sycamore wasnt too clever. but im assuming thats for other reasons.
-
he certainly aint clever, if this was close to targets id have it removed yesterday, but looking at the photos it seems a relatively target free zone, let it be natural!
-
it sure is mark. im afraid my girlfriend isnt on there, so i cant answer that!
-
i find when its been used it can get a bit stiff, i prefer using a distel or short VT with a little petzl fix-e pully works fine, smoother than a grillion and can be adjusted under load too.

just wondering, i may have missed something, do we have to PM the donators? im still waiting on my things. -
You could be able to find the stretch airs in class 2. They would be good for climbing and are designed in orange to be compliant with the railways

That is a very steep price for a service. I don't even pay double that for a full car service! I do all my own servicing. All it costs me is time and any parts. Love learning how to do it. Obtained workshop manuals which are drawn exactly how my brain pictures it which is great!
-
I would offer a pair of brash dragging hands to local companies for as low as possible. Enough to live on plus save a bit for nptcs. Afaik employers can get part funding for training of it's a couple of guys. Don't quote me on that but I did my felling tickets with 2 other guys and we got 60% funding through the learning skills council. Good choice on this career though.

I would copy gareth and his dehumidifier option. I find my pants slide nicely over the chairs in the dining room and the legs get hold open. In an averagely warm room they are dry by the next day I do like putting warm toasty gloves on fresh from the radiator. Even though they are hard!

That's v cool! Would love that! There's a fiat ducato x reg 97000 miles which is a tipper and has a palfinger hiab on it. Was at 2200 when I last looked!
