  1. Took an Oak tree out of a river at the start of the year. The whole tree root plate and all had slipped down the cliff, landed on top of 40K of wood bridge snapping it in half. It all ended up in the river. No access for large machinery took us 2 days with a 5t and a 2t digger to get it all out and on top of the bank. Bridge was burnt on site, Cost was over 2K. Oak kept for firewood.
  2. As mentioned check rod diameter and split dies are easier. IIRC do you not lubricate brass with paraffin when cutting threads?

    Hexa chain

    Lad I work with had 2 loops of it on his 500i 20", did not seem that impressed by it preferred standard RS chain.
  4. Nice looking, just keep them away from the marker spray....
  5. Fracture pruning?
  6. Like the extension on the ratchet strap.
  7. Pine martens breed in the wood stores, so need to alternate stores as season changes. Mind you the store is big enough to share being a covered silage pit.
  8. Was looking on fleebay as you do, reconditioned mcb for an oil Rayburn boiler £850 yikes, what price a new one?
  9. Nope multi fuel, linked to an oil boiler, which only comes on when the Rayburn can't cope on its own,
  10. Same with our Rayburn 355, Central heating, Hot water and cooking, Best £900 I've spent for a whilst, been in since 2010. Just looking for options for the future.
  11. Could not condone doing that, Greta and the thought police would be after me.
  12. No back boiler option I fear.
  13. I take it you can no longer get multi fuel Rayburn stoves? and Esse.

    Barkbox

    Yes you can get them in the UK, but you wont be using them on my jobs too noisy.
  15. Think its a sambron, drove one in the mid 80's
  16. Not just me then, also too tight to spend the money on more chunks of aluminium.
  17. Yes. Mix Spiderjack 2 and VT on different ropes.

    What should I get?

    On or off road as well. 1-2 ton bags, filled with what sand or logs? 2wd or 4wd?
  19. You saying he's fat?
  20. Or sink a piece of pipe vertically with the least amount of disturbance to roots as possible, then water down pipe to roots, less evaporation that way.
  21. Sterident, In laws used to use it on my thermos, only black coffee in it so does not bother me, survived so far.
  22. Nothing wrong with conifer, we burn tons of it each year, all goes in shed with hardwood, lucky dip what comes out. Put in 3 wood burners and a Rayburn, no problems over last 25yrs, before that used to hardwood only as that was what was available to us, got over that now. As has been said many times wood burns water doesn't.
  23. Pretty much all freshly cut wood soft/hardwood from Arb sources will be fresh/green/wet, all the dry stuff we keep for our own uses.

    All the bits are available on Ebay, quality variable. What bits were you after?
  25. Mick sorry to disagree, never liked Steve Wright, was one of the few I changed stations for.
