    yeah its deffo clearing a few bits up for me, off the top of my head there's the sizes of fungs in relation to height on the stem showing how much tissue damage has already occurred and how much residual wood is left, its obvious really but if its never been thought about then you won't be looking at it like that.

    we had over 15t stolen this year, 30t stolen last year, and approx 10t the year before:thumbdown: mostly arb arisings and some forestry stacks, leave it laying around and the wood pixies remove it at night (or daytime)

    it works very well for a tight ass like me, it did fall back over once nearly pinning me to a pile of split firewood, i jumped out of the way and it just grazed me on its way past, this wouldn't happen if it was fastened to a vehicle, i usually secure the hitch end with a heavy log to stop it happening when not attached to a vehicle.

    set the alarm for 6am so i didn't miss any of it, missed the alarm and woke at 7am:blushing:, the camera was in the car so i didn't bother taking any pics as they would be misted up, just been out with the camera and scope to the top of the nearest hill, right next to the local observatory and snapped a couple of shots, i just held the camera to the scope

    GASIFIER PLANS WOOD GAS HYDROGEN GASIFICATION GENERATOR on eBay (end time 23-Dec-10 06:49:54 GMT) just found this, fun project eh?

    that is very interesting, is there a kit available or is it a case of 'here is the science.. off you go'? i have an old landy sat waiting for me to find time to mot it, it has plenty room for tanks/boilers and i could maybe find a bit of wood waste to run it on.

    finally run out of beech, pity as you just throw another couple of logs at it in the morning and its off again, started burning fresh ash which is ok when its going but i use a blowtorch to light it every morning:thumbdown:

    i knew there was something going on up there, the moon was mahoosive on the way home from the yard today, i kept thinking how cool it would be to take a photo through the telescope.. then i forgot, might try it in a minute

    so am i right in thinking you have a steering related squeal and a red fluid leak that doesn't affect the coolant level? sounds like a powersteering fluid leak to me

    well obviously if you went in the van it would be a nightmare and dangerous, but if you went in a well shod landrover it would be as simple as a school run in summer:001_smile:

    thats how the woman usually parks it:thumbup: at least its not 4ft into the road this time eh? i found the pic online and its from a french film i think:001_smile:
  18. armchairarborist
    but we have to blame someone now don't we? trees have been falling on people for thousands of years but now it has to be someones fault and we're not happy till someone has been sacked, its clear the snow is caused by the transport minister and he deserves the sack.
