  1. Coracten tablets on prescription help my reynauds- not a cure but certainly helps. Gold leaf dry touch gloves ok till they get soaked through, winter touch when the temp really drops but not good for climbing
  2. Even if there were twice that amount of logs left for the op, it doesn’t change the fact that it was probably over double the cost it should have been. always get more than one quote and get recommendations
  3. I was a bit peeved when it happened initially, but just price it in on quotes to building firms now. Accountant gets all the cis vouchers and calculates what’s been paid so in effect the tax bill at year end is a bit lower ?
  4. I’m with you on this Mick!

    Box

    I use wax or 2/3coats gloss paint, many recommend pva glue and I store anything for turning a minimum 3 years in outbuildings with airflow
  6. Solo workers night out not much fun! December always too busy working on the doors till 3am fri/sat so the doorfirm Christmas night out is in January when it’s quieter.
  7. Bulldog or similar wheel clamp, hitch lock, security chain round axle through a recessed ring in concrete right underneath to make access harder - all these will at least make it more difficult for them and the noise should wake you! glad they didn’t get away with it, thieving scum!!!!

    That looks really smart - nice job ?
  9. To be fair I know that this is what the customer asked for, but wtf!!!
  10. Spot on!
  11. I’d guess it will depend on the size? Someone much more qualified than me will be along soon to advise!
  12. Have a read through the wee chipper club thread on here. All depends on how much you need to process and your budget
  13. Narvik - nothing special but does the job ?
  14. In what?
  15. This! Don’t wait for the redline going up your arm
  16. Yeah the traffic in Chelmsford pretty crap at the mo. I’ll look into lovedown farm, cheers!
  17. My regular sites are currently full so looking for additional place for chip, possibly some logs in Chelmsford or surrounding areas please.
  18. Gave up using Hermes as on average they were losing or damaging one in ten parcels! Too stressful continually chasing them to make claims so now use either ups or dpd for anything over 2kg. Lighter stuff goes Royal Mail Signed For
  19. Too right they don’t! Tried that with guy in high viz stopping a cyclist down a very quiet country lane as I dropped a conifer limb avoiding a bt line. Cyclist just went round him saying “oh it’s ok” - missed him by about 5 feet or half a second!
  20. Got a Portek one very similar from Jonesie earlier this year but not had a chance to use it yet
  21. Pm sent
  22. Sunday is the 26th - so is this on saturday or sunday? ?
  23. Why are they being defiant about it? ? will fill in the survey this evening. I only sell about 6-10cube a year that I have left over from my own stove needs - buggered if I’m paying to be certified on top of it
  24. Explaining that would have been a bit auk-ward
