  1. looks like it has not been touched since it was done 4 or 5 years ago and i bet that was the first time since it was planted go in with a god price to do it to 4 mts i think most of it will come back at the top but it will not look good it would be better to take it off at floor height and start again
  2. what if (as i know nothing ) ground and air heat pumps has taken up in the future will it take heat out of the planet and bring on a ice age will it affect the soil insects same as taking heat out of ponds/lakes instead of 2inch of ice will it be 6 inch the bottom will be colder will it have a effect on the fish and other life in them ?
  3. too many things to go wrong such as a rta that takes out one of the pilons and shuts down the entire motorway for hours also thousands of wagons a hour will soon wear out the cables compared with maybe 100 trains per day on the railways also the electric has to come from somewhere

  9. i would have thought a cobbler would mend them try google them to see what's in your area
  10. it looks a right pad, but if its solid walls the idea of lime bedding and pointing lets the moisture evaporate out from the walls where cement pointing will not then it tries to get out from the stone and the frost hits it and it starts to spall
  11. also not caring out the wishes of the people that gave them the land in the first place and paying themselves a 6 figure wage also there is a vote going on at the moment supposedly for members but anyone can vote by putting a name and a 8 digit number the mind boggles as to what they are playing at
