  1. Always worth thinking about how you can make things better Maybe some kind of set up with a roller table would help? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/corner-roller-table/232766766161?hash=item3631fafc51:g:JfUAAOSwf05a9ycm Or if you have a raised area, cut the logs at the top and make a chute for them to come down so they finish up at waist height next to the splitter
  2. There was one I tidied up for someone, a silver birch about 10" diameter? His son had felled it at chest height with an axe Looked like tall beavers had been at it
  3. Ask him if he needs any tree work doing.

    Forest track

    Just wondering, are the big land drain pipes temporary? What's the lifespan of the sand bags?
  5. Do you mean a 25l plastic drum? Fine for diesel, but not sure I'd want to store petrol in it?! 20 quid would buy you a steel jerry can
  6. I thought a man like yourself would be adding the tin cans to your scrap metal pile to be weighed in?!
  7. Seems a shame to be sending sawdust or ash to landfill. Keep it to one side and give to local gardeners/veg growers/allotments. If you're really stuck offer it up on gumtree, then keep a note of people's contact details
  8. Cool, just out of interest did you buy or make the tow bar? When I bought mine they said the only towing attachment they did was fitted instead of the skip - so I had to build my own!
  9. It says in the top r/h corner "final edition"
  10. It's full of cages, cabinets, racks, storage boxes, office equipment etc And still has the reefer unit with a little perkins engine
  11. My new shed, it came from a business that closed it's depot - I'd assumed the box was empty (it was pushed hard up against a fence in the yard). Hiab driver said it felt awfully heavy for it's size? The contents is probably worth as much as what I paid for it!!!
  12. Just saw a pear tree in someone's garden today, I have been going there for years and never much fruit on it. This year it's full of pears but the tree is now on it's side!!
  13. The only thing with cladding a container, putting a tin roof over the top etc is for the amount of work & materials you may aswell have just built a shed? And without insulation, you'll likely get condensation. All going well I have a 25ft refrigerated box getting delivered on a hiab in the next couple days. Plan is to buy a big bucket of green paint and do it with a roller
  14. This is my mates merc bus/camper when he was up in spring, he bought it already converted
  15. Have a look at the Kellfri jack
  16. If you like rock climbing, maybe look at rope access? Hanging off bridges, cliff faces, castles, wind turbines etc. Heard there's a good demand for workers.
  17. Oregon oil is fine, been using it for years
  18. I feel sorry for him, but MacGregor is a serial complainer which doesn't help his cause. They will know him well at the police station.

    That website is a bunch of crooks, run by some geezer called..................................Matt Clarke
  20. If you like a project, might be worthwhile looking at buying a 2nd hand good quality tracked dumper and converting it
  21. Why would you take the spouts off?
  22. I hate to tell you but I've had a cheap 1lt stainless flask from Tesco for about 10years, it has been dropped dozens and dozens of times but still keeps the tea warm, it only cost a couple of quid.
  23. Home from home
  24. Overloaded.......the skip is off another machine
