Just fix the LDV, it's a long list but most of it is very minor! Better the devil you know
-
I cheat, I push the cs100 up the ramp into the van using a muck truck with a towball
-
You have to watch how much tidying up is expected and what access etc is like, if it's wet you can very quickly make a mess. I would say a bottle of whisky to the farmer and no more!

Ouch Good reminder to always grind off any mushrooms

No need to bother, the logs will dry themselves!

Landmark! I don't think I've been there since our primary school day out!

I think Bahco make tools for stihl (and probably Husqvarna too) -
I'm using the Clark supertack bio but thinking about swapping to pure rapeseed from the supermarket? I realise there's been about a zillion threads on it before but what's people's opinions on straight rapeseed oil?

Type 95 is .325" Type 91 is 3/8" [ame] [/ame]

I've got the Clark one, is well made and all but I find it tips sideways too easily as above. I usually just use the felling bar to roll big logs

Disposing of sawdust and offcuts - what do you lot do?

Local sawmill sells the slabwood in bundles, plenty of demand, they can't make enough of it! -
Dropped in to the local independent petrol station on the way back today. 60 litre of petrol in cans, (and 62 litre of diesel in the van), no silly rules and service with a smile, that's why they get my business and not Tesco

Heres an old photo of a pole barn type shelter I built I didn't use it as a log store, I added sides and used it as a general shed. All you'd need to do for firewood storage is add mesh sides and a floor of pallets It probably cost about £150 for the timber and the roofing sheets, the roof is 16ft by 11ft If you're in a very windy spot you may want more bracing between posts and roof, steel strips from the builders merchant would do
-
Does 2 stroke oil go off much over time? Found a pile of 1litre bottles of Castrol RS 2T at the back of the shed, they're all sealed, but probably nearly 10 years old!

^^ What he said, take your money elsewhere (not that there's much profit on fuel anyway!)

Up here a civil wedding need to be at an approved/licenced venue but a religious one can be anywhere the minister (or otherwise) agrees to! A halfway house would be a humanist wedding but they aren't cheap
-
If you have the space build a basic pole barn, as big as you can. Just need some tree trunks/large poles, and 4x2s 3x2s and corrugated iron on the roof. Single pitch roof, 3m high at the front, 2m high at the back, with a nice healthy overhang and a gutter. For the sides either timber slats or mesh, herras fencing, etc Ideal aswell if you can partition it into a few bays so you can separate dry wood from fresh :thumbup1:

Nice video, but I bet you'd have done it in half the time if you weren't having to fanny about with your camera That's a good bucketful you got It's been a poor year for berries and fruit here.

If possible add more ventilation to the log store

My chinese made drill still says "Hitatchi, Tokyo, Japan" on the casing!
-
Have you looked at steel scaffold towers? The price of them isn't too bad. I've got a set I sometimes use on hedges, find it much easier to work off than a ladder
-
I think all the big makes like Dewalt, Makita, Hitatchi, Bosch etc do "diy grade" specials , usually to be sold in screwfix etc on a deal at about £100 or so. I've got an 18v li-on Hitatchi drill, again cost about £100, it does my fine for what I need, but it was stamped on the box "made in PRC" Whereas I've got some other proper Hitatchi powertools, made in Japan, and they are in a different league :biggrin:

Nice pond! There's quite a colour to the water, is there peat where you are?

You pull some cracking faces!!

scbk replied to Katie at FoxMedics's topic in General chat
I don't know the difference between all the white umbrella plants, normal hogweed, hemlock, cow parsnip, cow parsley etc etc but I have on a couple of occasions ended up with dozens of very itchy spots and blisters on my arms and back of neck after strimming rough ground. Obviously a reaction to a plant, defiantly no giant hogweed in the area. Now started wearing full length overalls buttoned right up, gloves, and a long visor, fun on a hot day!
