We're talking about >£1000 mowers...

I can't believe NFU wouldn't help. If your mum is with them it should be simple (they usually don't quote for under-25 unless a parent is already using them) Were you dealing with the local branch or the national call centre?
-
That's great and I have a similar arrangement. But do yourself a favour and fit a vibration alarm. Then the gurkhas can catch them before they even have a chance to cause damage to the rest of the unit. Your internal PIR only calls in the cavalry once scum are inside. A bit short sighted if you don't mind my saying.
-
Not possible, sorry. You'd have to fit a tank at a minimum.
-
Good on ya Steve. They say a new habit takes around 30 days to become the norm. How long were you Paleo for?
-
^ that's the one I was on about, nice one Johny. Ideal for chainsaws etc. Much stronger than a container. Your right about onFoot's alarms. He needs to install vibration sensors for a first line of defence.

A 6ft shipping container will be a squeeze to get into a garage! Plus the sides are very thin and easily cut. Best off with a metal strongbox, there were a few links to some on eBay on here recently.

Who else is still on the wagon? I've been falling off slightly the last week- been lifting hard and nibbling on cereal in the evenings. Those naughty carbs really help my lifts. Have resolved to get back on it. Up to 8% bodyfat but that's plenty acceptable as I'm trying to bulk up a little bit. Twelve eggs and a pound of steak today. Plus an onion for good carbs.

anyone use dremmel tool to sharpen hedge cutter blades
doobin replied to smudge1's topic in General chat
Just use a 1mm thick disc in a 4.5" angle grinder. Flat surface, deflects slightly for a more forgiving sharpen, you can do the whole thing without disassembling it. Bugger, you just reminded me that I have three to do. -
If you have levers rather than a joystick, there's no real benefit to electric. I'd just stick the new loader and valve block on, rather than butcher up the one you need to sell on. If you insist, then just swap the pipes about till it works. Not rocket science.

Same as any leads company- if your that desperate for work, get knocking on genuinely local doors with a smile and a leaflet.
-
OP- the van doesn't make you money. My LDV was £1300 and has done me three years hard work with maybe £500 a year spent on maintenance. What has made me money is all the different tools and machines I bought with the money I saved on the van.

It's a modern engine with a coded ignition pump. Can't just 'take the solenoid out' without a lot of hassle- that's the point Try thumping the ignition barrel. If it then starts suspect the key reader that surrounds the ignition barrel- these sometimes need a clean.
-
Steam cleaner is the only way to go for your type of kit.

Baby-faced poofs the lot of ya...

Not that you're one to blow your own trumpet... Nice one, makes a refreshing change to hear of good service.

Best to do it online. On the GiffGaff site, set your goodybag to recur every month using your debit card. Ask Vodafone for a PAC code, and enter this at the GiffGaff site. It will then transfer to your GiffGaff sim within a day or so. When you phone Vodafone, don't even let them begin trying to sell you something, or offer you a special deal to stay with them. However good it sounds it won't be anything like as good as GiffGaff. But they will try, so be warned. GiffGaff sims work in any phone, so long as the phone is unlocked. Sometimes they work on phones locked to O2 but not always.

You need to decide whether you want a light or powerful brushcutter. What model did you have nicked?
-
Only keywords required for a local business are the towns nearest you that you cover and the type of things you do. Anything more than basic SEO is pointless for a local business.
-
What was the company?
-
Walk away, they're supposed to come up with the keywords. How much are you paying??
-
That's free on GiffGaff too. Oh, and giffgaff to giffgaff calls are also free, so it costs absolutely nothing for me to call my guys or vice versa.
-
Runs off the 02 network. Better coverage than Vodafone round here at least.
-
Indeed, a sim only contract will still cost you dear if you exceed the minutes. This cannot happen with GiffGaff.
-
GiffGaff is pay as you go. If you top up £20 up front each month as a 'goodybag', then you get 2000 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet. If you run out of that, then it uses your minutes. SIM Only Deals and Plans | giffgaff.com Stay away from Vodafone. They will flat out lie to you about the length of a sim only contract. Apart from anything else, why have a contract? My three GiffGaff phones automatically top up every month, I never need to even think about it.
