Does the 12ft ladder work for onlyfans? Asking for a friend, like.

It's funny, obviously not going to post any locations, but this is already on google earth! Seems their plane flew over taking aerial photos as I was halfway through laying the bark
-
There's advantages and disadvantages to both, horses for courses blah blah blah........ For me the cut off point is currently around 45cc. Below that better off with battery. Less cancer from 2 stoke fumes means I can eat more bacon and drink more beer

Sorry to say it, Skye has been ruined by over-tourism. Bring back the Skye Bridge toll !!!! It's not even just airbnb, there's probably thousands of people that visit the island every day who don't stay the night, on day tours from Glasgow/Edinburgh/Inverness. Almost every American tourist I chat to on the mainland is visiting the Isle of Skye as part of the trip. Scotland has over 790 offhsore islands, 93 of them are inhabited. Yet everyone heads for the 1 island.

No wonder it's so many emails if everyone else got two aswell!!

Just finished today, in the end went with some old 150mm boards that were spare from last year, just on the lower edge to hold the bark back. 12m3 of nursery grade bark, laid with muck truck The area to begin with was a gentle slope, with overgrown remains of an old midden/bonfire, lots of broken glass pulled out the ground. First bit of rain this evening in well over a month!

Can you not work weekends doing the felling? Probably make more money at that than firewood 🤐

A friend was telling me about an old fisherman bloke; Out on the boat, when he could see the lads where getting weary and fed up, he would give them a bar of chocolate to perk them up and get the job done. Another friend (who has a few tales....) said when he was in charge of a parcels warehouse he would take in a load of weed and speed for the lads every friday, gets the shift done in no time!

When is the best time of year to cut a large branch on a Poplar in the UK

"all waste removed" (to a local layby) -
They say "good fences make good neighbours" Your fence is shit, it has a sycamore growing through it. And your neighbour is shit. Not that it's any help I assume if you cut the tree down completely on both sides, repair the fence, then your neighbour will magically become fantastic. Best do it while he's on holiday though.

Dinosaur hunters have just discovered a new species in Phillip Schofields back garden. They've called it 'Ivasaurus'.
-
I do it with mine, cut trees and gorse well beyond what the mulching blade is really meant for, I prefer the 3 prong mulchers
-
Yes ral 2004 "Bright Orange", you can get it on ebay, local paint shop etc
-
Each to their own but I would pick a battery or 4 stroke machine for running a blade, less revvy more torquey or whatever
-
That's the main thing to me, fook sharpening a chain that is double the length you actually need!
-
Is the saw soft start? It might be too big a load for the genny on startup?
-
Nature will sort itself out. Just keep an eye out for big spiders in your bananas, they could be foreign buggers

In the video posted earlier the UK importer says they're made on the Austria-Slovakia border. Which means Slovakia - if they were made in Austria then you would just say Austria -
Ebay is the Aladdin's cave of stolen stuff though! I started buying and selling tat on ebay when I was 16, back then you were supposed to be 18 so I had to lie about my age. You won't believe this, sometimes you had to win the auction, get the seller's address, get your parents to write you out a cheque, put it in an envelope, post it to the seller, wait for them to receive it then cash it in and wait for it to clear, then they might get round to packing up the item and carrying it down to the post office to stand in a que to send it out. Would take about a month to buy something! Never mind the fookin dial up internet Had to walk to the school bus, uphill both ways

Good for you for learning and giving it a go. Just be careful, there's a lot of stolen 2nd hand chainsaws about, don't get caught up buying and selling them.

Is it not easier to do the chipping out in the garden rather than in the kitchen? Even if you point the discharge chute out an open window, you'll still get dust all over the crockery! -
Ordered a jumbo sausage supper at the chippy. Bloke said 'It won't be long mate' I said 'For £7.20 It had f*cking better be'

Most of my grass at home is cut and drop, cut it every 1-3 weeks (weather dependant) and it's fine, looks decent, and fine for walking on. Every week if it's sunshine and showers Every 10days - 2 weeks in "normal" weather Every 3 weeks if it's a heatwave And usually on a friday night when gbx is on the radio, in my ear defenders!
