    Chain storage

    Rotatech sell these little zip lock pouches for keeping chains in. They're marked with the chain size, and you can then store 10-15 chains in an old paint bucket. Unfortunately, the pouches are quite expensive. But you do get a free chain inside each one
  3. Big pile of locally grown birch, 2 lorry loads, which is somewhat rare round here. Also another rare sight, the red arrows were training overhead for a few days. Don't think I've seen them since I was a wee kid at an airshow down south somewhere.
  4. From 2018: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/02/roofer-fined-300-carrying-sandwich-wrappers-crisp-packets-van/
  5. Yes sometimes I listen to Adagio for Strings in the van too 👍
  6. I have a family member who drives HGVs, he does a few nights out a week, and you get the standard £26 whatever for sleeping in the truck. For that you need to supply a groceries receipt for the night, I think that's a HMRC thing. If he's "lucky" he occasionally runs out of drivers hours in his home town, so he parks in the council lorry park and walks back to his house 🤐
  7. Have they said how much food is provided with the accommodation? Anyway I thought all forwarder drivers lived in caravans in the woods!
  8. Just get a set of decent work boots, and a set of lace up chainsaw boots. The chainsaw boots are double the price, and a bit heavier, so don't use them for general work.
  9. One modification would be to get a paint pen, and write your name and postcode on the wheel rim. So at least if it comes off again, someone could post it back to you
  10. The Timber Croc is great! Works really well. Timber Croc Saw Horse | Premium Log Holders for Cutting Wood TIMBERCROC.COM The Timber Croc is a self adjusting log holder which is superior to any other saw horse for cutting wood on the market today. Enjoy a lifetime warranty.
  11. Find out what engine is on the mower and search for a recoil starter for it. You might be able to buy individual parts, or the whole shebang. Possibly this? > Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starter 594062 650EXi, 675EXi | Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starters | Mower Magic WWW.MOWERMAGIC.CO.UK Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starter 594062 650EXi, 675EXi - Available from Mower Magic
  12. Just for @Peasgood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e5oKp-tCY4
  13. Looks like the OP @smallguy has disappeared! Here's a video for you:
  14. The town of Dingwall, north of Inverness has the shortest and most northerly canal in the UK. (basically the river was straightened out and deepened) At the bottom of the canal was an old footbridge, but it was deemed unsafe and blocked off by the council in 2017. After 2 years there was no progress, the council didn't seem interested in replacing it. The family who run the local sawmill (which makes fenceboards and WoodBlocX) stepped up and bought a new bridge, and had it installed. For the community, and named in honour of their son James who died as a young man. Fair play to them Scroll down this page to James' Bridge James' Bridge ⋆ Ross and Cromarty Heritage WWW.ROSSANDCROMARTYHERITAGE.ORG Attribution: unknown (Greenhill street in Dingwall looking North) Roberts’ Bridge Unlike Venice, Dingwall has few bridges crossing expanses of water.
