  1. was this for the town council, canal and river trust or the E/A.it was on the local radio last week stated the T/C got contractors in to clear the flotsam from the arches near the bank and were complaining that they did not get the flood warning till late morning where the river peeked about 4am. the water level came up to about 2ft below the top of the arches
  2. did you clean the roof and gutter off on the way down ?
  3. I do not think the private consumer will give a toss as to what logos you have on your logs as long as they burn and are a keen price
  4. is that pile of rubbish what you picked up off the verge or did you just empty the cab
  5. yes 3 in 1 will be ok and you can carry it in the van to use as and when
  6. freezing fog -4 all day it made a wintery landscape on the trees and hedges but no snow this side of the Pennines
  7. do not use wd40 as it will rot the sheathing over time just use thin oil and do it regular
  8. at the moment it can only do British registered motors
  9. what about the wood burning power stations I better start burning my crap now or save it for bonfire night
  10. Hankook dynopro ATM are a pretty good allrounder
  11. try the Brussel sprout flavour crisps better for your health than the chippy
  12. maybe cutting some of the other side off will balance it up a bit
  13. https://ladderassociation.org.uk/en131/ this is the link
  14. one of the things is they will have to have a SWL of 150 kg I posted something on it months back
  15. I hate to think what this thread will be like in a few years time when there is only battery power available, maybe how far will it pull a chipper/trailer or where can I get some derv for my old truck
  16. no wonder there were traffic tailing back on the 64 no ware for them to park
  17. try putting some light oil into the cable housing and work it in do not use wd40 as this will degrade the sheathing on the cable sorry for the underlining I cannot get rid of it

    Handsaw

    a proper cross cut saw not the 5 for a tenner, they have a larger set on the teeth maybe a straight pruning saw will do or get a saw set and use it on the saws you already have and a file to sharpen them
  19. do not forget the data security that you have to do with the finger print if the blokes resent it I can see it will not work like it should plasters on the fingers mud on there hands etc even the wire getting damaged the list goes on how many blokes do you have
  20. I used to suck leaves up with the hand held stop to empty the bag about every 60 seconds if there was a lot of leaves and if you was doing borders it sucked the soil up and sanded the impeller ends down now I just blow them into a heap and use helping hands and a plastic leaf rake to pick them up its much quicker
  21. I used to do about 200 for a bloke that sold them at road side you will need a strong back knee pads and plenty of gloves waterproofs and thermals they might net them in the fields then stack them on to the trailers the work goes on no matter what the weather as to supply the contracts, quite a lot of growers use tree sheers instead of saws now
  22. that's why you wanted to sell off bulk loads from your yard still 12"seems a waste
  23. stiff mix and do it in bays
  24. to run it as a green waste site you will need a license from the EV Agency and be limited to how much you can store and remove (sell) the one I use sometimes has to stockpile unchipped waste till his compost heap is ready and then he spreads it on his own fields I cannot remember how much he is allowed to move off site but it was not a lot
