As recommended by someone on here, I bought a set of 3M Worktunes fm ear defenders off ebay from USA. £30 + £15 shipping + £15 customs so a fair bit cheaper than the husky ones I was also looking at. They feel very good quality, and the sound is really good. I am still too scared to use them on a wet day though!

Also forgot to say, be careful what you wish for! My house phone number, random one we were given when we moved in, is quite memorable ie 534354 (that's not it!) I was happy at first but there's two problems: -When reading out your number, people get jumbled up -When phoning out from the landline people won't answer as they think it's telesales! :laugh1:

Look on ebay too Years ago I helped a friend sell a memorable mobile number on ebay, IIRC it was something like 07*** 123456. He got the number in the first place as he went in to asda to buy a new pay n go sim card. He wanted a number he could remember easily so raked through the pile of cards and found that one^. Probably cost him a fiver from asda and it sold on ebay for about £300-£400

If you need work/cash get on the books of a few recruitment agencies, there's always work going, just tell them what hours you can/can't do

Just bought a drum of rapeseed oil from the asian cash & carry, so will try it out

Can't comment on the Husqvarna harness's, but both Oregon and Honda do ones that are very similar to the "old Stihl", which I find comfortable

[ame] [/ame] Interesting video, have never seen a saw like that with the long handles!

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.
