armchairarborist replied to swinny's topic in Climbers talk
flat file on the two angles, dont file the largest flat face (back), spike angle gauges are available if you struggle, watch your rope with sharp ones though.. -
hicap and 10x6 ifor for me, had a fun delivery few weeks ago(1 load carried into cellar), could park close to house so i thought i was onto a winner, carried the whole load in large washingbasket size buckets up house steps, along passageway, down spiral staircase, through two doorways and into woodstore next to fire. got a good tip though, and the guy ordered another load when he saw the firewood.. yay

sweet truck rob, how do you find the hoverbox in the back? does it hover at any height or is it predetermined?

nicely finished yew there, burned some elder tonight, havnt seen any hags yet, didnt talk to tree before i cut it down lastyear either, blackcats are just cats, i dont walk under ladders purely because its likely something will fall on your head, superstition is for puffs and office chat..

nipped down to yard this morning and on the way through local village there were cameras up everywhere, all fastened to lampposts, some roads had them on nearly every lamppost, there were guys writing details of every parked car and noseying about everywhere, cameras were signed up as some sort of traffic survey, got into yard, started having a pee next to landy, looked up to see camera on nearest post pointing straight at me haha, hope they enjoyed watching that.. oh if they had put them up a few hours sooner they might have caught some scum nicking red diesel from machines in next yard..
-
anybody seen the new vw L200 size pickup? saw a pic of one last wk, wouldnt dare use anything other than a landy myself but maybe suitable for schoolrun?
