The whole world’s a critic. Sorry.

I thought that ‘stove installers’ were one of the professions that price in multiples of thousands.
-
I suppose someone could construct something like that….. They could even give LOLER inspectors special little purple pins. ….. Just as long as they don’t mis-title them as ‘Surveyors’.

Another +1 for the fibreglass resin for both fuel tank (plastic) and oil reservoir (alloy). I am still using a 200t that I ‘fixed’ in 2009. I think I used the basic ‘plastic padding’ packs that you could pick up at Halfords! -
…. or possibly he means 300-500 Watts!

More likely it’s worn off by the myriad of old rusty silky blades / saw chains / crushed Relentless cans that some people seem to collect at the bottom of their climbing bags.

My parents are victims of cowboy tree surgeons who are now blaming my mother.

Actually, I think that is a pretty succinct description of the thousands of ‘new landowners’ who have moved to the country over the last 30 years. You can’t tell me that Cornwall hasn’t had it’s share. -
Alternatively, would you have any idea of which of the ‘power supply companies’ could be nationalised to bring down the international wholesale energy price? I have heard this idea banded about recently, but can’t for the life of me see how it could make any meaningful difference.

Ash dieback effect on firewood quality
Bolt replied to Welsh cleaning services's topic in Firewood forum
Are you felling it because you need firewood, or are you felling it because it’s infected. If it’s just the latter, I would leave it…. It may surprise you. -
The opulence. “Dad, what did you do during the cost-of-living-crisis?” ”I ate breakfast, lass. I ate breakfast”.

I hope that’s true. whattaguy.

Hell yeah…… go tree, you got this! -

All of this really needs some form of common sense approach from someone like @daltontrees -

In the original post, it was stated that it was a wild cherry (I’m guessing, it just ‘grew’, rather than being lovingly planted). Not impossible to imagine that this was just a sucker from the wide ranging root of an even older original tree growing in next doors garden. I reckon this thing is centuries old. No one owns it. It is feral. -

Your tree is gone. This is now their tree. Their tree is supporting a root system. The roots of their tree now extends into your garden. Be sure to complain to them if the roots cause you a nuisance. -

Your mother’s actions would have been less serious than a usual summers worth of rain. Blaming her for a cherry tree doing what a cherry tree does seems as unreasonable as blaming it on an act of god. -

Insufficient info I’m afraid. Were they supposed to fell and grind out the stump? Maybe they were asked to fell by the estate agent, but advised grinding out the stump and roots as well, only to be told by the estate agent that that would be an unnecessary expense….. -

Were the tree surgeons supposed to chop the thing down, or were they supposed to remove it and grind out the stump? -

I don't think so. The ‘cowboy tree surgeon’ label seems a bit harsh. That being said, it also seems unreasonable to point the finger at your mother for simply watering her plants. As has been said, depending on the species, it should be pretty buggered by now. -
Its probably the only bit of a maxus that can trace its history right back to the Freight Rovers.

Old skool ’the far side’. Every ones a classic and always made me chuckle.
-
It’s a classic. (never eaten a squirrel. Never got past the skinning phase. Anyone who has skinned a squirrel will know why).
-
Unless of course god themself is a horsefly. If that is the case, it’ll be a bummer for you when you reach the pearly gates.

Good job. Can stand it when people pre-occupy themselves with piffling details.
