  1. Bought a Valliant fan off amazon (£42 delivered!) a few weeks back. Wish I'd got one years ago I'm a big fan!
  2. Well worth it, I don't think they actually add much to the price of a new saw anyway
  3. Can you net set it in the ground at an angle, or am I missing something
  4. Just seen this on youtube, do you think it's made in china? Seems a bit slow! [ame] [/ame]
  5. It's not that much wood, if it's your main heat source, and you like to season for a couple of years
  6. There goes another billion pounds of public money! BBC News - £1.1bn funding for Moray Firth subcable to be accepted
  7. What about a wee packet of seeds, with a note saying how to grow them etc Many many years ago on a school trip we were all given a wee bag with a handful of scots pine seeds and a bit of paper. I think I may even still have it somewhere (never got round to planting them lol)
  8. I don't like the greens - I don't like wind turbines and pylons. We have too many as it is!
  9. The toolstation price is the best going on the Nightsearcher You can get cheaper rechargeable LED floodlights (£25 ebay) but you get what you pay for
  10. Not quite what you're after but I bought one of these recently and it is pretty impressive! Workstar Li-ion Portable LED Floodlight With Wide (SMT) Angle Rechargeable | Toolstation It charges off mains or 12v. I mounted it on an old halogen site light tripod so it's at a better height.
  11. I liked this - big limb came down from the sycamore and voila, ready split firewood

    Waste of space.

    Midges (not that they take up much space anyway!)
  13. Trying to read that advert gives me a headache
  14. How's everyone else in the north of the country been getting on after the winds last night? I was woke up about 3-4am by the carbon monoxide alarm in the lounge, think smoke was being blown back down the chimney! Power was off but luckily I remembered to leave a torch by the bed Took ages to get back to sleep with all the noise outside. At daybreak I noticed our trampoline right outside the cottage window, it normally sits over 60ft away! It was upright, and no damage to the grass etc, looked like someone had just lifted it up and carried it across A few trees down on the estate, lots of big limbs too. One came down and split a small tree completely in half, still standing, I will have to get a photo of that. A mile down the round there is a old shelter belt of scots pines, unfortunately it looks like a war zone, only a couple of acres but 30+ mature and hardy pines on the deck or hung up Power came back on about 3.30pm (not bad going ), just as I was about to go out and start fettling with an old generator. SSE must've been using a helicopter to check the lines as there was one doing some funky circles above!
  15. Eucalyptus is the only tree my log splitter has been unable to do anything with. Fortunately there's not much of it round here! Good luck!!
  16. The oxdale trailer mounted splitter looks good, but the table looks awfully low?
  17. It's a bit like one of these [ame] [/ame]
  18. Looks nice, but will water drain off the roof?
  19. If you can't be bothered with all the stacking, make a ring of mesh or stock fencing, then you can just lob the logs in!
  20. I personally charge £20 an hour (if you're local) which I think is a fair price
  21. Welmac UK Ltd: New equipment in stock
  22. Will cost you 5p a shot up here though
  23. This guy made me wince
  24. Come up here, we've got the snow!
  25. I think it is possible to get some kind of gen that runs off the engine, never actually seen one though. Inverter is the simpler option, I have a 2kw (4kw peak) one in my van, haven't used it in ages though!
