    i would think any metal kettle would do, if it boils too fast make a circle out of welding wire to hold the kettle up a couple of mm, this works brill for cooking all day while you are out without burning the grub

    there's a big sign saying 'hand jobs £5', i was gutted when they washed the car:thumbdown:
  7. armchairarborist
    i'm pretty sure hitting any body of water at over 45mph counts as washing it.. no matter how much mud is in the water, i only clean the plates/lights and windows and if its really bad i let the £5hand job brigade have it for 10mins. for £15 i get truck and chipper cleaned and underbonnet steamed:thumbup:

    are you joking? haha they don't share a brain between them, they have broken the truck window twice to 'play' with passing dogs, chewed the back off my haix's, stopped cars in the street to terrorise the drivers by jumping at the windows (just to see who's in there), and got me stopped by the police for having unruly wild dogs in the cab (they made me put them in the back), oh and my personal fave.. they scared a wee scottie dog so much it jumped into the canal! the owners were not amused as they had just had the rabbit groomed:thumbup:

    you said it had lines underneath? that would be no-10? maybe air filter or intake?

    well its obviously a bog seat with emergency hand grabs, have you checked the bog roll holder, you will be sorry if its empty:001_tt2: on second thoughts it appears to be engine oil level, i'd guess the cog with arrows is gear oil level and the bog seat shape refers to the engine?

    i drove through there again 3days ago, forgot about the speedbump halfway through and nearly lost the toolbox and chainsaws out of the back of the truck, nearly lost me dinner too, with the 110 doing its best icebreaker impression through the 4inch ice on top of the mud:thumbup:
  15. armchairarborist
    it's scared of running the new splitter.. have you checked all the levels etc?

    i met one of them guys doing it for the wood with a trailer on his vw estate and a saw running with old sump oil, he told me he says a price and when they ask if he is insured he prices up the cost of the shed and fence in his head and adds that to the price, he says they usually go for the first price not his special 'insured' price.. foolproof really eh?
  17. armchairarborist
    nah they were medium at least:001_tt2:
  18. armchairarborist
    wow 18ton, it doesn't look that heavy:thumbup:
  19. armchairarborist
    did i mention it was a big beech? and i never say how long a job takes:thumbup:
  20. armchairarborist
    i had one the other way round haha, the local handyman said he would knock down a large beech tree for free for the firewood, i got the job for £1800 and got the wood for free. chin up dude it'll never catch on proper unless they get trained and insured:001_smile:
  21. armchairarborist

  22. armchairarborist
