  1. If you want to comply they need to be kept inside with absolutely no way wild birds or their droppings can get to the poultry. In a run, it would need to have a roof, very fine mesh all round (I've seen small birds get through 1" weldmesh), drains to stop ground water running in, disinfectant foot baths on entry etc etc
  2. A friend has a Kioti utv type machine, he got doors made for it by a local tarpaulin company, they're see through material with heavy duty zips. Then he got a heater matrix and plumbed that in to the engine, with a wee blower fan. I assume the log bullet is water cooled?
  3. Tight for space, this looks like cedar of lebanon
  4. Day out at the seaside, think this one is wych elm?
  5. The simple answer is to buy your own woodland Or better yet, buy land and plant trees on it and wait for them to grow
  6. I suppose what you really need is a splitter that can be driven across the field to where the logs lie, and has the ability to lift the logs, and split logs that are 2ft/3ft/4ft wide Even beech or sycamore rings will still produce decent enough logs after 2 years on the deck, they will be a bit dirty though.
  7. Not much help in a garden but 2 of us moved a decent sized portacabin on tarmac by hand using 2 pump trucks and scaffold tube rollers. Don't know if a container is more secure than any other building? Also steel containers can have condensation problems unless you line them
  8. The NC500 always seems to attract the good tourists NC500 toilet caper slammed as film footage sparks outrage across the Highlands WWW.ROSS-SHIREJOURNAL.CO.UK Local outrage erupted after a video emerged showing a man empting a chemical toilet on a NC500 lay-by. Dirty buggers
  9. If they're not available ready made wouldn't be hard to do them yourself; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WAS-WO6DL-W06DL-L-H-LED-FRONT-SIDE-AND-INDICATOR-COMBINATION-LIGHT-LAMP-TRACTOR/222918291014?epid=27024164095&hash=item33e6f72e46:g:QrIAAOSw4P1azLNA and a couple of brackets and decent magnets With enough farting around you could even make it wireless
  10. They're not "off road" tyres but nice chunky mud and snow, I've had a couple of sets now Maxxis MA-W2, 215/75 R16C, for a RWD single rear wheel
  11. Use 2nd hand plastic ones, therefore diverting waste from landfill?
  12. Don't know if this has passed or not yet, 4.25t on a B licence Category B driving licence derogation for alternatively fuelled commercial vehicles - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Changes to regulations to support the take-up of alternatively fuelled light commercial vehicles. The electric vans will still be eye wateringly expensive to buy though. Oh and at 4.25t no towing allowed! "Under the proposals set out in this consultation, drivers will not be permitted to use a trailer of any size or weight in combination with vehicles benefiting from the derogation."
  13. For hedge clippings etc, assuming you're not in a mad rush for the compost, just compost them as they are, they will rot down in a year or two, especially if you can mix up the pile with a loader/digger and other materials.
  14. Meanwhile, in Inverness: Inverness woman in court for stealing water melon and Angel Delight WWW.INVERNESS-COURIER.CO.UK A WOMAN stole food from a fridge in a house of multi-occupancy in Montague Row because she was hungry, Inverness Sheriff Court heard.
  15. Looks a good shed, why are you taking it down?
  16. It doesn't matter, so long as it's dry, burn the lot! (some pieces look a bit wet?)
  17. Book a holiday to the Highlands! You might have to fly to avoid setting foot in lockdown England
  18. This is the headtorch I currently use, it's a rechargable coleman with "battery lock" which saves the battery from draining when not in use. I think I got it 4 years ago (as an xmas gift!) and it has had a hell of a lot of use since then. Don't know if it's rated as waterproof - it has an open charging socket on the bottom, but has been used in horizontal rain plenty of times and lives to tell the tale. It has a handsfree switch and light sensing function, but that only served to annoy me so I put a tiny piece of black tape over the sensor. It must now have a bit of a dodgy connection on the battery lock, occasionally you will get a wee flicker. There's small green/amber/red lights on the front to tell you battery status.. It's got various levels of brightness, using different LEDs on the front. One I use the most is a close area flood, which is ideal for working on things. And there's a long distance spot combined with flood, which is handy for when out on the bike in the woods at midnight!

    Jokes???

    Does the Comarty-Nigg ferry count as a cruise? Exiting the Nigg - Cromarty Ferry © Richard Sutcliffe :: Geograph Britain and Ireland WWW.GEOGRAPH.ORG.UK A car reverses up the ramp from the MV Renfrew Rose, which has arrived from Nigg just across the Cromarty Firth. The small ferry operates during the summer months, and can...
  20. The homeowner has some plants along the wall and fence, I wonder if that is their land or council land. I wonder if you did the work and annoyed the wrong person at the council (or a neighbour), they might kick up a fuss about the unofficial gardening and/or cut it down since it's on 'their' land.

    Who are the Dance Party, they sound fun, I hope they win
  22. I would throw in anything I have to hand that is surplus, leaves, grass cuttings, sawdust, shavings, any type of wood chip, shredded paper. All they're gonna do is crap on it and dig it up anyway
  23. Didn't get any photos, had some accidental tatties that kept popping up as weeds, must've come from the compost. Dug them out a few weeks ago, couldn't believe the crop, half a wheelbarrows worth, and some of them were MASSIVE! And now taken out all the tomato plants, filled a wheelbarrow with tomatoes, mostly green ones, so need to think of a use for them. Already had picked plenty of red ones over the last few months. There was some growing in pots in the greenhouse, and some in the ground in the polytunnel. The polytunnel plants produced a lot more fruit, but they really struggled to ripen, obviously not as much sun down there.
  24. Might be ok for use on your own land, where time isn't as important (and you own a welder) I imagine you can probably buy most of the kellfri range on alibaba without the stickers!
