Do solar panels not lose efficancy over time? I was looking at buying some for a shed a while back but after a lot of reading on the internet it seemed years down the line they would only produce like half of the power compared to when new
-
I got a set of the lidl ones yesterday, they seem pretty good, very comfy and good sound quality. Only problem is I don't think they're waterproof so will have to avoid using them in the rain! There is a microphone on the outside of the muffs. Press a button and it turns off the music and plays the noise from the mic through the speakers, so you can listen to someone talk etc without taking the defenders off - seems a bit of a gimmick
-
It doesn't seem very deep rooted, most roots only seem to be a few inches down, and it's fairly easy to spot the rhizomes in the soil
-
I've used the unbranded orange 2.8mm/3mm square line that mister solutions sell, it seems like good stuff and lasts a long time, good price too
-
If you want to get rid of it fast about the only option is to dig it out
-
2 nice blocks of firewood there

Stop hitting your axes and mauls with a sledgehammer, they're not designed for that lol If you want wedges to knock in with a sledge then buy some, they're only about a fiver

Spotted these while doing a regular search of ebay for anything forestry in the north, they're of no interest to me but might be useful to other members? Ponsse H60e Timber Forestry Harvester Head | eBay eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

I know very little about roadbuilding but I have seen/heard of tyre bales being used in the lower courses in boggy areas to reduce the amount of stone needed - you can get the tyre bales for free
-
I'm suprised no one has come up with the idea of painting the container black?
-
I'll fell them for free if I can keep the wood
-
Somebody buy the boy a new torch, he won't find many tramps with a piddly wee maglight
-
...and his felling work could be subject to a felling licence....

You'll make more money from kindling selling direct to the end user/public, make up some net bags then send the lad out chapping on doors locally Oh and you'll make more money from old pallets if you actually build items out of the wood, and it's more fun

Build the table so it's atleast waist high

On a slightly related note, a good book on woodfuel is: [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Heating-Wood-Fuel-Stoves-Home/dp/0954917170/]Heating with Wood: Wood Fuel, Stoves and Home Heating: Amazon.co.uk: Andy Reynolds: Books[/ame]

^^Well I love softwood so if you ever have any to get rid of, give me a shout, can collect
-
If you're short on pallets, another option could be a layer of brash (that would be going on the bonfire anyway) on the ground, to help keep the logs off the soil?
-
Thought I would post pics of a wee modification I did to my vertical splitter, in case anyone is wanting to copy the idea. It's a kinda dogleg idea, so if the blade gets jammed in a bad knot you just retract the ram all the way up to release it. It's made up of 2 bits of 40mm angle, 2 bits of 25mm angle, and a piece of flat bar. Still have to paint it!
-
Is it not more of a case of the logs settling rather than the bag stretching?
-
IMO, 46x57, but they're quite small for logs, ok for kindling
-
Sitka spruce all winter here I have a chunk of wet wellingtonia, only enough to make 4 logs, but can't wait to burn that next winter, as it's from one of the biggest trees in the country (fell off other week in the storms)

What about some sort of bitumen stuff? Everbuild Product Range - Everbuild ^most of that is about £10-£20 for a 5l tin

I've started using tesco aqueous cream, it's a bit like e45 but thalf the price. It seems to help a bit, the last few weeks my hands have been cold and wet all day
