    Cheap prefab insulated shed, and they're being sold by a forum sponsor!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196351883287

    The wires go between the street lights, here's a link to where the machine was Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. Glasgow has funny street lights, I think it goes back to when they had the trolleybuses?

    The only still image (presumably from a passing car beforehand) was released by the procurator fiscal. If they've got any videos they must be hanging on to it for their private collection.

    I would say £1 a mile for local The problem might be trying to get this money out of them if they're used to getting it for free

    I would say muck truck is more useful than track barrow (I have both), you can turn on grass without ripping it up or putting boards down. Tends to be faster too. Tracks are more useful when the ground is already chruned up, or in a woodland. When I bought the muck truck max they were only 1600+vat new - they'll be more now, but ask round a couple of dealers. The amount of stuff that muck truck has shifted is unreal, and it's still good as new

    I've always had Transits and the death of them for me has always been the rust. They seem to be the worst van/truck for rust. Had an old Renault Master for a while, that was better Just bought a mk1 vw crafter (same as a sprinter but vw engine) so will see how that fairs, it was 580 mile drive home with it! My mechanic and his dad both have crafters. Builder guy I've done work for has a crafter tipper, he loves it There's also the MAN tge which is simillar (same?) as the crafter, and is available in twin wheel I think

    Do you or your mother in law burn firewood? You probably have enough woodland for one house to be self sufficient in firewood. So if you need firewood, you could potter away at that, the odd day here and there, family can help too hopefully?

    I found the grinder slow/fiddly to set up and use, I got one years ago but not used it in a long time. It doesn't do the depth gauges, so you will still have to do them manually. Got a pferd (stihl) 2in1 file this year, so far I think that is the best (easiest/fastest) way of sharpening chains.

    Is it not a Honda gx35 copy?

    I'm normally wrong on estimating too! Your eyes play tricks on you. It was 2 days total, what slows it down is dead elm is pretty tough and stringy, and quite a bit of the logs had been cut too long to fit in the splitter so you had to try and get them end on, which is slow and fiddly.

    Big pile of oak and elm, around 400-500mm long (for a boiler). They'd been through the pile beforehand with a cone splitter on an excavator to knock it into more manageable lumps, it had clearly been a couple of big trees

    Not seen it in real life but always liked the idea with this one, a slow ram and a fast ram, and a log lift Hydraulic Tractor Mounted Log Splitter - Made in the UK - Harbrook HARBROOKENGINEERING.CO.UK Heavy Duty Hydraulic Log Splitter made in the UK. 10 & 20 ton twin ram design gives you the best of both worlds - speed & power.

    What part of the country are you in? Very very poor for fruit on my trees here north of Inverness this year

    Failing that, what part of the oxdale is it you think needs improving, and could you modify to improve it? Bigger table? Log lift? Different shape of wedge? Bigger pto hydraulic pump? Different valve? Add a conveyor?

    Give the lad a set of FM ear defenders (or bluetooth) and £20 cash for every full IBC. No new log splitter required.

    Urgent because weather forecast was it will be chilly tonight and the log shed is empty?! I use (semi chisel) rotatech chains, they're fine, but not as cheap as they used to be

    The local motor factors (who I'd be buying the oil from anyway), give them the reg and they look it up on their super dooper computer, and get you the right oil and filters. Think it's @aspenarb on here who says he puts 10w40 in everything, they'll all be fine

    Hi folks, does anyone with a WP36 know the RAL paint codes - for the red and grey that is standard. I do have a proper RAL colour chart book here somewhere, but christ knows where it actually is!

    I don't know are you planning to do the work yourselves or not? Another thing would be, do have a use there for any big lumps of oak timber you could mill out of this? Oak mantlepieces/posts/stuff for your house? Even if just for the novelty of finding a permanent use for bits of this tree.
