Men in boilersuits? That's a whole other fetish for some folks

By the way, the sunday sport is full of shite, the photo was taken in Golspie not Aberdeen. How can I ever trust their journalism again?

I fitted a genuine eberspacher to a transit I was using as a basic camper. I did a "proper job" which involved raising the entire van on various lumps of wood, then dropping the fuel tank to get to the outlet on the top of the tank to get a feed in. The thought at the time was you wouldn't have to fiddle about filling up a small tank that only runs the heater. If I was doing it again I would just use a separate tank! Jerry can would do. You could run the heater on red but they use very little diesel. It was hooked up to a leisure battery and a split charge relay, you could run that heater all night. They are fantastic heaters but probably a bit overkill for sitting there whilst you eat your sarnies. Any electric heater running off 12v is either going to be hopeless, or need welding cables to wire it up. The flames in the op picture come from the overheated fuse and wiring

Petition for legislation for winter and all season tyres

I've got snow chains for the transit, they're great, but are a bit of a faff to get them on and off -
Finally got round to adding an extra bay onto this shed from earlier in the thread. The way it worked with timber sizes I made the new roof cantilever off the end, to give a bit more covered space for odds and sods. Takes the capacity up to about 160 m³

For all the new forum members looking for free firewood......
scbk replied to scbk's topic in Firewood forum
I see that search term that doesn't appear is "how do I get rid of logs for free" -
Just to update this old thread: The driver got 100hrs community service and 12mth driving ban. There was cctv footage, the guy fuelled up 75 miles before the accident, and the warning light was on to show the leg wasn't secure. Chloe Morrison: Family of woman killed by lorry seek sentence review WWW.BBC.CO.UK A driver convicted of causing Chloe Morrison's death was ordered to carry out 100 hours' unpaid work.

You're on the same algorithm as me then, that came up last night I want to see how the poor sod stacking at the bottom of the hill is getting on

....here you go The price of energy may or may not level off in years to come, but I can't see it's going to be cheap any time soon? Poke a few hybrid willow twigs in the ground and in a few years time you will have your own free firewood

What make/type of gloves do you wear ,working in your wood yard?
scbk replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
For winter, thermal builders type gloves, you can usually get a bag of 12 for a decent enough price on ebay i.e. 12 PAIRS HI VIZ THERMAL WINTER BUILDERS LATEX WORK GLOVES GARDENING NEW WWW.EBAY.CO.UK 12 PAIRs HI VIZ THERMAL WINTER BUILDERS LATEX. GLOVES GARDENING NEW. • Textured latex palm dip. 12 Pairs for only 16.49 GBP. available in size Conform to EN 388. They're not great for use with wooden hand tools like a sappie/pickaroon (is any glove though) If the weather's really miserable then a set of surgical gloves underneath helps -
I thought the ref was fantastic

SNOWMAN FOR SALE Due to a change in circumstances I'm having to sell my snowman. I've listed it as spares/repairs as it needs a little work. Ideal winter project First to see will buy.

Doesn't work so well the other way round though

Michelle Mone seemed like an ideal candidate to supply the ppe. Cut the bras in half and you have 2 face maks

Forwarder driving free taster days

Sounds interesting, I would never turn down the opportunity to have a go on any machinery, sounds more like a job interview though "Other details Covid 19 Due to the requirement to work in close proximity to an instructor during the operation of the simulator / machinery, you will be expected to be at least double vaccinated" -
Is it not only 5hrs training? If it's anything like hgv cpc it would be mainly drinking coffee and instructions on ratchet straps Atleast it's extra work for the instructors that lost out on b+e tests 🤷♂️

SAIC/Maxus also do an electric panel van with the same towing weights, but they've messed up imo by making it 3500kg gvw, when the uk law allows 4250kg in electric. Obviously, they've built it for worldwide markets

Picket fencing will look nicer, but defiantly won't be cheaper or easier (faster) to erect. It's a shame the landlord doesn't want to invest in a nice fence for their house. For a cheap semi-temporary fence, get the cheapest fenceposts you can, knock them in every couple of metres, then get a roll of mesh and staple that to the posts. The mesh could be stock netting, weld mesh, chicken wire etc. If you were lucky you might get some second hand locally! For 30m, might cost £50-£200?

I see there's been a breakthrough in modern technology

It's clearly a disposable barbeque

Some people would use that as an excuse to get another tractor If it's just for cutting billets, another thing you could look at would be electric saw benches

Sorry, I don't watch much news, but do listen to a lot of radio when working on machinery. It seems totally bonkers to me that someone would get offended because another person showed an interest in their story. I meet people from all over the world, especially tourists in the summer months, and I love chatting to them, guessing where their accent is from, do they live in a town or the countryside, what's the landscape and weather like back home, what do they do for a living, what are the local industries. A lot of the americans are big into the genealogy and will tell you all about their great great grandad who went over on the boat. Anyway, that's all a bit boring and serious, so back on topic.....................
