"What is the thing in the 7th pic?"

Reckon it's a bull rush that's kinda given up.....? Am I close?

what you dont get rid of your old rockwool on sticks in the countryside?

B+E is easy, get someone who has done it to show you the layout with cones in a carpark or field, practice coupling, read up on speed restrictions/legislation etc, get a trailer with overrun brakes and any landy and book the test..

wow quite shocked at that one, seen repairs to bars before, like welding cracks and re riveting but thats scary

hemp sandals.. brilliant, everybody knows trees belong in the countryside and roadworks belong in the city.

there is still grants available for setting up short rotation coppice for willow/poplar etc i believe.. been reading up on it a bit..

mulberry is my fave.. mmm

did you re-pot it in early may too? has it had enough water, been quite dry this year i keep trying to remember to water my potted oaks but keep forgetting..

ah useless cars for useless workers then:thumbup1:

2wd option? light-weight? economical? never make a towcar will it..

saw a demo at last years aa show, cuts through most stuff, but theres a lack of heavy metal or engine burning fossil fuels -it'll never catch on:001_tt2:

did you get a pic of the stem / bark?

this is a yard full of long firewood in this country, all cut to size just before delivery..

thats amazing,

anyone got a rough idea on price? choking this week..

got a cliff edge rope saver once, keep it in rigging kit bag, had a fair bit of use so its worn through in a couple of places, i'll pop a pic up tomorrow, its made of similar stuff as 1tonne bags but thicker.. with velcro to hold it round the rope and a string to hold it at cliff edge. as used by mountain rescue teams.

couple more, there were about 7 other balloons up that morning too. wierd how safe it feels too..

Pickies please

 

 

 

 

 

.

piccies are clear in photo album, but re-photoing them leaves something to be desired..

is it for firewood? if so..chainsaw/landrover.

guess how bored we were today.. oh and a pair of small ash reductions in the same garden,

is that a 40m climbing rope i see going up the tree beside the ladder, he he. get back there with a hedge cutter and level that off or fell it mate:lol:

its all the rage now.. look what we were forced to do today

check out short rotation coppice from defra, theres grants for setting up etc..

'plates for fun' ont internet, ten quid delivered, says something like 'call to verify' at top and phone numbers at bottom. only driven to work twice with it on so-far.. obviously you can type in anything you want to have on plate.. usually delivered fast -2 days at most.

thanks for your help today Rob:thumbup1:, Lyn Ed thats my spare chain box not emergency rations:thumbup:, Janey you assume its a fake leg? Paul -pic showing how well supported the hopper is from below -large support bracket above tank.. and lastly John demonstrating how the 'leg' trick is performed with his head..

pic2 shows position of spraycan but black bag (rigging bag) was ontop squashing the nozzle down.. rather fetching eh?

ok so the first one is a joke but had mishap with stihl pink tree marker spray in a slightly overloaded hopper..
