That looks good fun! If I bought that I wouldn't paint it, it looks the part as it is.

Article from 2 years ago: Lost Forest: why is BrewDog’s green scheme causing controversy? | Trees and forests | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Firm has pledged to plant huge forest in Scotland, but some of its environmental claims have raised eyebrows -

The 2 guys started out making beer to be anti corporate/anti establishment, but they have now become a global corporate giant themselves. The beers of theirs I have tried, I've not been a fan of, but I know they have a huge fanbase. Years ago there was a mega offer on the "lost lager", they were giving it away, and for every pack they would apparently plant a tree. So one of those dead trees is mine! Didn't like the lager, but hey it was 'free' -
If you have then tractor, then yeh get a hydraulic splitter. Look up ktm machinery, they used to be really cheap, not so much now. Never used one but don't like the look of the blade on the oxdale

No O licence needed, no driving licence needed, they'll be self driving.

Yep, it's a nightmare to fill in all the paperwork when you're trolleyed. Best to just torch the vehicle and buy another scrapper in the morning.

You say you want to get 10 years out of it? There will be some people on here doing a couple of thousand miles a year, and others doing 30/40/50k miles a year

Just electrify the river, that'll sort them out

Van insurance renewal was £372 (up from £252 previous year) Went through topcashback compare, price was £268, and £38 cashback, so £230 in total. Bit of faff, but it's one way to spend your evening.

Think morse code would be easier

I built a compost area with a tin roof, and more old tin on the sides. Split into 2 bays at first but now going to be 3 bays. Given we get plenty of rain, and you don't want the compost totally sodden, or the nutrients washed out. And even though the old tin has a few holes in it, I think it's too dry now. Maybe work better if you were constantly chucking wet/green material on it.

My mate used to eat a tin of grapefruit every morning, he said it makes you shit out the fat

Got an old Danarm hanging up in the shed Was given it by someone I had done some work for, when he was moving house he had me round, double garage to empty, kinda take what you want, filled the van to the neck, including a floor standing pillar drill (gave him a few quid for that) Also got some old 2-man pull saws rescued from another place. And various old hand tools. They will never get used but nice history to me. I've never even tried to fire up the Danarm, but the guy said he'd had it running.

Wow that is mental. There's a road that runs past with streetview: Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.COM Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. Tens of thousands of cows and bare soil as far as the eye can see

The ideal combination for working in your own small woodland imo would be a top of the range battery saw (husky 540ixp) and a 60-ishcc petrol saw (husky 365)
-
I wouldn't be worried about the fuel, but more the saw in general - ie is it stolen?
-
I bought a timbercroc last year, it's good, works really well. Just jam any old bit of wood in and it holds it solid. If you're a lot to do though it would be a bit tedious picking all the bits of wood up off the ground. Circular saw bench you can park a barrow at the side and catch the logs in it.

We were very close to getting a deposit return scheme in Scotland, supermarkets had built extra covered areas, started putting machines in etc. For me it would be a pain. As it is currently, you put your plastic bottles and drinks cans in your recycling wheelie bin and it is collected from your house. Glass you take to bottle banks which are in every village. Instead, you will get charged more for the item in the first place, and have to carry it all the way back to a supermarket, que up and fiddle about with a giant vending machine that will probably be as reliable as a self service checkout. So recycling would be more work than it is now.

I've never had a vehicle with a DPF, but as I understand it the system is linked to the GPS data, so it will do a regen when passing through an area with social deprivation, as the kids have less to look forward to in later life anyways.

It's a mk6 transit so 20 odd years old, probably rotten. My mate had a photo of his renault master, newer than this, with the body in a similar position, it ripped off by the hinges! (rust) Luckily for him he was tipping at home so saved a red face of it happening in public

You get them on a lot of machines now, it's for the operating manual

You wouldn't operate a chainsaw without appropriate training - WOULD YOU??!?
