    Dropped this earlier on a site clearance I'm helping on at the minute, big old apple tree, no sign externally of anything wrong couple of small dead limbs further up as would expect on an old uncared for apple tree, first indication anything was wrong was when it pinched as soon as tried to put gob cut in, soon as touched it for back cut went straight over, was still healthy enough to have good crop of apples on though

    Does importing and kiln drying not defeat the point of firewood being a sustainable and ecologically friendly source of heating? If your thinking of pushing softwood more why not also look at fast growing hardwood hybrids such as willow,poplar and eucalyptus which have always been done down for firewood use as being too fast burning, I've been supplying poplar and willow mixed into my loads for years with no complaints

    My 357 xp's on the bench again today, got it going last week after it being sat along while as it just refused to go, used it two days last week ran spot on plenty power etc, used it to cut some firewood other day and ran up stinking hot and cut out now cant get it going again, got fuel and spark and compression seems ok (not got compression tester though) but is just refusing to start

    It happens mate, I'm the same I stress when I'm busy then I stress when I'm quiet, like now not been out the yard all week but you just have to find your own way to deal with it, I can tell now when I'm getting bad, busy stress I seem to deal with better as after few minutes I get my head together and get organised, quiet time stress is worst because theres nothing to occuy your mind apart from the worry that your not earning, I now try and direct myself towards doing jobs that have been waiting, ie maintenance or firewood to keep my mind occupied

    Haha, first time I saw one of those was laying a path on a garden job, heard this droning behind me and turned to see one those hovering at eye level about 6 inches from the end of me nose, I reckon I gave linford christy a run for his money that day

    Could be worse, on a job a few weeks back overheard the gardener telling his mate to be carefull strimming round the paths as he once smashed one of the windows in the customers conservatory

    We had some similar to sort so got a 2ft bucket off an old whitlock digger and cut the back of it then bent and welded in some rebar to make a riddle bucket, use it on the back of our old jcb 3c soil needs to be reasonably dry but few shakes to seperate it and can then tip the rock on a different pile

    Finallly back in the landrover fold after 18 months, went and bid the dealer in the nuts on this as it was a trade in, doesnt look as pretty underneath as it does out side but bit of welding and she'll be sound

    They were built by carmicheal I think it was as a proper conversion on landrovers and rangerovers (thats not one obviously) the one they built were 6 x 6 as the first axle had a drive through diff but never really took off and are quite rare now, sorry landrover anorak

    Well said Andy, have noticed some threads getting to the handbags at dawn stage recently I freely admit my grammar is terrible, never got the hang of it I can spell pretty well but ie usually trips me up in words but misspelling doesnt usually bother me when reading as I just read it anyway, I've got one of those brains that can read so long as its somewhere near spelt right

    Found a load more courgettes last night Squashes are going mad, good crop of tomatoes but not ripening for some reason and my 50p cucumber plant from the supermarkets got about 15 cucumbers on it at the minute, had a roast last night with peas and carrots straight out the garden and home reared pork, spot on

    We used to use a ferret locator for tracing drains, put the collar inside a straight water fitting with a stop end and attach to the drain rods, then use the locator box to track it as its fed in odd times I've used the cat scanner it gives you a general idea of the location of the cable or pipe but never found them particuarly accurate especially if wearing your toecaps
