    It's levelled out a bit now, new quotes aren't as cheap, renewals aren't as pricey. The rules changed last year. Important rule changes to the pricing of home and motor insurance – what it could mean for you | ABI WWW.ABI.ORG.UK From 1 January 2022, new pricing rules introduced by the industry’s regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), will come into force. The changes will mean that when existing...

    There's a guy on youtube who makes "horticultural charcoal" out of branch loggings

    Have you been? You wouldn't want to, unless you have an interest in kings and queens. The place is beautiful, but heaving. It's like disneyland at times. Mind you, the same could be said for Aviemore, and it's not got the royals! I'm off back to my cave.

    I don't know if they still hand them out, but it's a bit like when you see one of these stickers on the door It's their way of saying next door is a c*nt

    Someone lives in there, he's fed up of being burgled

    I was working for a couple recently, they live in a lovely wee crofters cottage, surrounded by fields and beautiful countryside. The proposal is to build a 50 (!!) acre sub station next door

    To me it would make more sense to try and use more of the electricity up here than spends £millions/billions to send it down south, and keep burning fossil fuels here. Turn it in to hydrogen, electrify the railways, install vehicle chargers, rip out oil boilers in favour of heat pumps, etc etc The English v Scottish ; Highlands v Lowlands ; North v South thing, the comparison might be if you lived in the Cotswolds and they were proposing destroying your local beauty to build a powerline to export electricity to France.

    Looks like this but ideally with all the logs still on the back

    I think it was 4 years from bare ground to in the log shed for this hybrid willow Chickens for scale!! Yes I've put better stuff through a chipper but hey.....

    Defiantly plant trees, but 2 acres isn't a huge amount of ground to supply a log boiler. Might be better using some of the space to make access and stacking space for artic timber wagons (if you don't have already), buy in a load, then hire a processor for a couple of days. And build a big log shed!

    Busmans holiday to the west coast for the day. Adjacent to the picadilly circus/wacky races that is the nc500

    I've nothing against them, but I'm not the slightest bit interested in the monarchy. Cannae beat a coronation chicken sandwich though

    Did she run off with the accountant?!

    That stuff will be dry enough to burn tomorrow, never mind the winter after next!!

    Use the £130 to buy everyone beer!! Worth thinking about what machinery you can use to shift the timber and brash, to save on manual handling.

    Only advantage I can see of a loop handle would be using it on it's side doing edging. On petrol machine loop handle have more vibrations.

    My own experience so far is battery tools are a safer bet than autotune

    Years ago I had an old wooden trailer I wanted to sell. So I filled it with firewood and put it on gumtree as "trailer load of firewood for sale, and you can keep the trailer", it went in no time!!

    Can you think of any freely available liquid fertiliser that is high in nitrogen?

    If there's no big issues around vehicle modifications, just put the details through a comparison website

    I think they call it a training bond, it's a common thing for bus drivers.

    Defiantly, it is a disgrace to log that up for firewood. I imagine you could build a whole house out of the valuable timber. Got to be worth a few quid more just for the andy murray postbox nearby anyway.

    So are chimneys to be fair

    I feel access and parking issues may have a negative effect on the market value of this highly sought after consignment Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.COM Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.
