No Traffic police would not get involved with that as Hetas have their own tactical support group for that

Yes my apologies those figures I quoted were Farenheight and your photo looks like it should be spot on

Just having a perusal of your initial enquiry this thread and the answers everything sounds about right apart from this section I Note you are always burning hot as you say at 200 degrees c I am assuming this is your flue temp if so this is nowhere near the sweet spot operating temperature you should be looking at Min 250 to 400 350 being the optimum temp our thermometer shows a max of 480, we aim to get between 300 to 350 for top performance from our newly fitted Parkray Hunter aspect 7 fitted burning bone dry Oak and Apple logs atm also single storey chimney height above the ridge height I can only speak from my own experiences and recommendations others may differ hope this may help someway

Had a similar reverse one like this with our old neighbours burning Laurel hedging totally covered our car with black smuts a total b****rd to clean off and had just cleaned that day they were fine about it and offered to pay for any damage but we declined as they were and are still such nice people!

Yea right!

I had this issue on an echo 360TES stopped oiling after a month or so from new could not believe it was the pump gone but took back to the supplier turns out it was a blocked gauze which was really fine in the oil tank line we were always carefull filling with chain oil BTW, found it hard to think it got blocked but never had any other issues after that hope this might help

Hello we ran one of these saws for a good few years from new it ran straight out of the box cracking saw after about six months we had something rattling about in the exhaust which was changed by the dealer and he balanced and set the carb up absolutely bang on totally reliable saw! As for your main question the L for lower speeds and H for the higher ones that does not sound right to me that the L affects WOT, this is all about balancing again am sure other people can enlighten you more on these intricacies Your saw you have just run it in which leads me to believe it is not that old your carbs needs balancing which is a fine art I don't think you need to be taking out the cat at this juncture I would take it back to the dealer and get them to set it up properly hope this helps

I concour that is one nasty chain! dust and bin are a couple of words that are springing to mind atm

Put all those old wives tales away about certain woods !! I got asked to top out and pollard some big lime tree's a few years ago for a mate in May ended up with a nice big trailer load I was a bit sceptical at first being a connossieur of the old Log so to speak but thought I would at least keep the old firepit stocked up cut and split straight away buy the end summer the top pile were burning great and within a year all fully seasoned only thing was a very distinct aroma not my most favourite I might add

Mastic shrub or Terpentine shrub pistacia terebinthus possibly, must get back to Morocco someday was a great experience travelling back in the early 80s

Have been here before I had one of those remote controllers as in your Vid they were fine and yours seems OK when working, but the main problem we had with intermitent working ( which is a real drag with a full load of chip at the end of the day) after changing the solenoid then battery was infact the battery terminal lead connectors and or the conections to the pump unit they can corrode up badly only found this by chance as they were sparking in dusk light, hope this helps

We used Andrew Day arb consultants was based in Southminster very affable and professional chap, hope this helps

Broad sword calling Danny Boy!!!

Looks good to me! this is something I shall be interested in seeing your progress with, we BBQ all year but a pizza oven has been on my to do list for a while now and have gleened enough info to start one when in our new abode I shall build all the best Essexlogman!

We found emptying grass cuttings from our ride on and lawnmower mulched around the borders where we have ground elder certainly curtails growth and is a good moisture retainer as well seemed to really work well much more natural alternative than spraying poison and yes keep away from trunks if possible although depends on how deep you much, good luck!

Walk away, walk away, walk away would be my advice!!! sully your local reputation, f**k yourself with the local Tree Officers with regards to future TPO or conservation area works we always carried out our own checks for conservation and TPO area works regardless of what the customer told us and they were always thank full when something did flag up they were not aware of and we would invariably get approval working with the local authorities for the works required anyway

A shout out to Writtle Agricultural college Chelmsford Essex always worth a look had a few legendary instructors in their time

Firstly my condolences to anyone who has lost someone or is experiencing this similar situation but "A bit lost at the moment" and also not having any control over anything is a horrible situation to find ourselves now personally in, I am just wondering paul1966 was your dad taken to hospital then discharged to a private nursing and was he happy being in there? was it your dads decision to go in and now has decided he wishes to go home? as we are in this scenario now with Mum as she initially went into hospital with fall related injuries as well although on top of that she has mobility issues and is very frail as well, long story short though she ended up contracting two other contagious illnesses Oh yes and I forgot to mention the other one covid as well being 86 now and recovering from all of that now and being in hospital for three months two of which she has apparently been medically ready to be discharged now, Her partner has seen her three time Me and my Brother have not seen her My Sister got too see her on the day covid was diagnosed so we could not then arrange to see Her. Now it comes to the discharge firstly what we have got to deal with is she does not want to go into a nursing home but wants to go home, Ok fair enough now we are not one to burst someone's bubble hope and all that but their is no way on earth this is going to happen unfortunately Her and Her partner are convinced that it is going to happen, the assessment team have been round to her house and seem to think with a hospital bed, a commode and 2 carers 4 times a day will suffice ( sounds great on paper but with care staff shortages and out in the sticks feel she is a low priority) but here is the rub the other option would be to go into a self funded private nursing care home closer to her house no problem (which I mentioned she does not want to do) where we could at least visit regularly here is the quandary this is what WE would like and feel the decision is best left to Mum and her partner because it is what she wants all decisions are being made by the NHS and Care Assesment teams so we have had to stop feeling like we are banging our heads against a brick wall and take a conscious step back (as hard as that is) as on the one hand the options seem "clear to us" but not to them I do hope thing's will work themselves out soon Best wishes to everyone

Did you cut and split them straight to the shed? if so the logs on top of the pile would have burned maybe OK'ish from that batch but the ones at the bottom of the pile will be nowhere near dry enough as they need wind and sun or a good few years drying in a shed Just test with a couple of bags of kiln dried hardwood Aldi/Tesco/Home bargains all do them bone dry for £4 to £5 quid a bag to see any difference to heat output hope this helps and good luck!

You as far as I am aware up to your fence line concerning storm damage but claimable on your insurance up to that line and regards to your neighbours you out of courtesy if you want to keep in with them and as you mentioned a result but any damage to their property is down to their insurance

We bought a 10x30ft steel framed poly tunnel kit with horticultural grade polythene back in 2002 was used early on for storage when we moved into our house but once we had settled was upgraded to part firewood drying experimentation!! , works great I am sure the sales blurb had mentioned (Costal Scotland tested and windproof) lasted us until we moved 15 years later once you have dug a trench around and buried the plastic cover to spec they really become sturdy structures I think it cost about £300 not sure what they would be now though hope this helps

Its mind numbing how they send some guitars and anything really out of the factory and great that you can fettle something to make it a lot better a bit like your ms200's what also caught my eye though was the ZoomG3X pedal googled it up and sounds fantastic bit of kit for jamming on your own especially with a drum machine looper etc is deffo on the to buy list soon cheers!
