  1. I hate the stuff but it has it's purposes, client of mine wanted a birdsmouth knee rail installing today, 15posts set in all level and lovely, job completed in 5hours with postfix. Most fences we do get the full concreted in treatment, with at least two nights to set before the panels/rails go near it. :001_smile:

  2. Just this week I've installed 19m of fence after ripping out a privet hedge. Roots were handled in half an hour using a minidigger (I'm a big fan of my new toy with back saving hydraulics!):biggrin:

    Anyone know how to upload pics from an iPhone? Laptop is other side of the room and I'd have to wait for it to upload:thumbup1:

  3. Sounds like earth to me too, all my lamps now are earthed direct back to the battery rather than just hoping the body/chassis will carry current. The 110 is also wearing trailer lamps on the back as they are easier to maintain, cheaper to replace when smashed and dont have pyromaniac tendencies like the crappy wipac ones!

  4. Burned unseasoned hardwood for years without mishap, then lit fire with some well seasoned scotspine (found some undercover behind my shed) within two minutes I could hear it roaring, then the back door slammed and I could feel all the air being sucked out of the house up the chimney. Wandered across the road to have a look at the chimney, and there contrasting nicely against the night sky was 8ft of blue flame rocketing out of the pot with lots of pretty sparks. I got a metal bucket and loaded the burning logs in, took them out to the patio. Within a few mins all the flames were out, got the chimney swept and it's been fine ever since.

  5. Had a Stihl TS-- stone cutting jobby to get running, newish machine but wouldn't start, never seen a filter so blocked before (apart from when I sank the Landy at Driffield!) just a solid mass of stone dust stopping the airflow. Also the front guard had clogged with packed iron filings and stone dust mixed so fitting a new disk was impossible without chiselling it all off, clean fuel and away she went:thumbup1:
