They're pretty mad with the salt on the trunk roads, it's like 6months of the year. Even if it's not that cold you'll see them spreading

For a quick tidy up, husky battery powered blower. For a full scale armageddon clear up, then the biggest backpack blower you can get

Don't say that, this guy would go out to buy a skilsaw and come back with this: (and asking how it works)

Best to work in the buff IMO, safety first, no risk of clothes snagging in machinery

Do you like big butts?

Google for a pallet wrecking bar/pallet buster. It's like a double crow bar.

Always hard to tell what posts are serious I suggest the op gets a 10" knife (sword) for his saw. That would be ideal for cutting pallets. You need to be careful though, wear a stout pair of boots and a motorcycle helmet

If you like substations, you should move to the Beauly area! The exisiting substation which has just been extended is about 50 acres, the new one will be about 1.3miles away as the crow flies, and a further 60 acres in size

To me it seems mad to build all these pylons, powerlines, and substations to take "green" energy down to the big cities, when the homes they tower over and bypass are still heated with oil, coal, sometimes peat, and the vehicles and machinery are mainly fossil fuelled too. Why not incentivise the use of renewable energy close to the source

For one of the other substation sites the area quoted is 860 acres Couple fear for 'Outlander' estate home as power plan sparks demolition concern WWW.HERALDSCOTLAND.COM The views from Annette George’s Highlands cottage are of an unspoiled, peaceful rural idyll, spanning lands held by one of Scotland’s ancient…

There's a house and land I've done work at for years, beautiful cottage, great location, plenty of acres. The downside is there's a pylon in the garden, 25m from the corner of the house. I don't know how true the stuff about the powerlines is, but not sure I would fancy that. (house has just gone up for sale if anyone wants to take a chance on their health....)

Tarps are ok short term but they can trap the moisture, a big dry shed is better for long term storage. I assume you don't burn a huge amount of wood, some people would have the firewood listed in your first post gone in a year or 2. There's a guy I know in his late 70's, knocking on for 80 who still cuts his firewood. Another guy says "have you seen the size of his wood pile, how long does he expect to live"?!! He was actually out with his tractor log splitter splitting wood for a firewood dealer in the last year or 2!

My advice would be don't go out and buy a tesco bag for life, you might not get your money's worth out of it.

Get the David Brown hooked up, jobs a goodun

This is the one I use for drinking water

I've got a few 205l plastic drums as water butts, one is a dunker with mesh on the top. The others have old household brass taps Cut the end of the tap off so the water comes straight down

Ah! The old green 240l general waste bins have been "converted" into your new general recycling bin. The old blue 240l general recycling bins have been "converted" into your new paper/card only bin. cue local uproar from people who can't read a leaflet (we sent very little paper/card for recycling, it is burnt on the stove/composted/used in the garden, so a paper only bin is surplus) By "converted" they mean the bin man stuck a new sticker on the bins. We live in exciting times
-
The Highland council is changing the bins about, general waste bins are now either 140/180 litre instead of 240 litre, and a lot of the towns and villages have new food waste bins. Tempted to go out at 5am on the collection day with the big trailer, free chicken food and compost material innit. Might get lucky and find something for my own dinner too.

What saw is it you've got?

I think the current carbolic soap is more "carbolic flavour", not like the old stuff
