  1. Yes I use the 6ft - very useful for lower stuff. Have 8ft x 2, 14ft x 2 and considering a 16ft for the future
  2. Almost every time to be fair - my first was single leg adjustable, after my 2nd, all 3 adjustable I couldn’t believe how more useful it was to be able to get level on even the most awkward areas. I have three different heights now. Think steps, rockeries, even slight slopes - would never go back to just the one leg.
  3. Probably confused threads as there was another fella returning from Canada in a different thread?
  4. Yeah the tip site I use sells arb waste and chip to Jenkinsons - seen them loading up with a bucket on a tractor. All the stuff we don’t want goes there and can tip almost anytime day or night. Saves trying to organise getting allotments gates open etc. Handy to have a mix of places across the areas we cover
  5. It does seem that more customers are keeping logs - perhaps 25% as opposed to 5% in previous years. Also they can be worth more chipped for biomass maybe? Whereabouts are you located?
  6. That looks very much like my Narvik. It took my chimney sweep a little while to figure out how to open up to get the rods up - said it was a bit fiddly but I wasn’t there to watch unfortunately
  7. The only way it’s worth doing for the firewood is if it’s very local and you can get your truck and trailer parked right next to it for loading. Even then as Steve says, a lot of work there. other than that you’ll need to pay to get it done I’m afraid. good luck 👍
  8. Same - years ago when employed we were supplied with Totectors - good quality, hard wearing and comfy. last two pairs I bought for myself were appalling ☹️ The soles fell to bits within a few days so got chucked (no receipt to return them)
  9. Could do with that approach in this country pretty damn sharpish!
  10. If insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting the same results then I aminsane it’s actually expecting different results, not the same results but we knew what you meant to type 👍
  11. Pictures will help 👍
  12. Yeah that’s riding a trifle low!
  13. Minus 2 here but feels colder 🥶 Yew reduction today - climber doesn’t do weekends so it’s me up there with a mate dragging for me. This is gonna hurt ☹️
