Appropriate certificates exemption papers to handle such "Waste" Costs money, then the potential fines. Unfortunately its probably best to post a need to tip such then respond by pm. It is a good idea but not in a bureaucratic world lacking common sense. Some E A personnel have quite a reputation for being sticklers, uni not real world.

It will graft and fuse solid over time, it may suffer rot pockets if water gets trapped longer term. It will be a passing fad. Have a play, can look nice in mature specimens or look ghastly.

Also if you cut across the grain or with the grain chip length is significantly different

Me if I can help it. Pasta generally makes my feel full instantly then I bloat, then fart all night long:biggrin:. But I do have Marmite occassionally. cold pasta is not something I'd pick. Garlic bread is 4 times better warm or even hot.

My view on this has been undecided for quite some time. Im not full time arb. I do fencing and other work. Some work I just need to get myself there. 2 wheels could do this. I have driven escort vans since I passed my test 20+ years ago. It has always been enough to get tools and things in securely and discreetly out of sight. (a weak point of most 4x4s open back trays and fibreglass flex tops etc) On big jobs I just brought out the tractor and trailer. Now not a confident option due to legal adjustments. A tipper would be a HUGE time and back saver. 4wd would only get used occasionally as in most cases! Towing behind my van is insuffcient. I may only use the trailer 40 days a year. However only 4wd vehicles have reasonable towing capability. With the downside of greater running expenses especially when only using it as a car on quotes etc. But if you get fined a couple of thousand and lose the time dealing with it and increased insurance costs blah blah you will wish the money had been invested in a 4x4. When this van (no 4) dies I will probably get a 2 seater 4x4 tipper. But where will I keep the tools. A numb empty vault on the back will be a pain.

Stayed in a house in Dunedin in New Zealand and they had fan and duct above fire that pushed air down in other rooms from ceiling. They were happy with it. Helps with damp as well I believe

I've read plenty of it on here. Rubbish rates. Rubbish payment times. Seems standard. Only time it pays is if you have your own loader and a yard of chip you don't want. Otherwise paying a farmer to load it makes it pointless from a cash viewpoint.

Title and pics remind me of a bizzare tale we was told in junior school. Person was dying in hospital, was told when last leaf fell they would perish. One leaf out the window remained on a tree until new leaves emerged in spring. Person survived. I did go to a CofE school were they used scare tactics! It could of been about faith or prayer etc. I just remember it not being nice or fair. I did take things seriously at a young age.

Please note Timbersaw this thread is getting on for three years old. However interest will be shown (I looked at it) Welcome to the Forum. Lots of good stuff is to be gained here.

Not Alex Ferguson according to legend:biggrin:

Truck driving Fencing Tree planting Tree nursery work If I had my time again I would in hindsight do tree work. My dream/goal as a teenager was to plant my own woodland and watch it grow. You get caught up in the here and now, then 20 years have slipped by! Truck driving is probably the easiest physically, no assets to deal with and the simpler way to make a living. But it is soul destroyingly boring and unfulfilling.

maybe in the states ted, but we can't use one here. A proper man basket has to be tested approved and a days training before you go in one! Just correcting in case. Someone uses it against you.

I have the granberg from chainsawbars. I reckon on a full time outfit. It will recover the cost of chains saved and time saved quite quickly. I do have a disc type which is ok for a reset of teeth but not as good as the granberg.

If you stack it in a saw horse like the Oregon easycut sawhorse you can chop it up in minutes with a chainsaw. I don't waste anything either, burn it myself if now one wants it. I'm interested in the sawdust burner for the poly tunnel John is it the barrel Type or a fancy auto feed design. Does the poly tunnel not lose heat rapidly?

Its really narrowing down what you can do these days without spending some zombie time in the classroom. I didn't know it existed either. Which bit is the wire when you fence???

Steve Bullman posted this up a few months ago. We have all gone on to retire since!

I'm particular about post spacing looking right. But if it's a big root 3 inch diameter or more the root stays. The tree will outlive the fence. If it's a domestic job with a tree near fence line . Measure out post spacing a from one end dig the holes near the tree. If not good measure from other end. Try again.

I got an oregon a while back reviewed it here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/33895-oregon-easycut-sawhorse-review.html another thread herehttp://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/51272-sawhorse.html Truncator is on this forum. Worth a look. It all depends on your wood type and cut size with your handling system. My original oregon easycut is now battered and been repaired a few times. But it will of done 30+ cube of firewood alot quicker. The design is good. Just needed to be more robust, thats a trade off for its light weight and fold flat design.

Thanks Bob. Im still using a brace and bit that was my Grandads. The battery has never been replaced yet. I would rather pay twice the price for a good one than pay half the price for 2 in the same time. Im just waiting until I get a job that really needs it. Meanwhile value and spec get better.

There is wild rose you could plant and thread through it. Personally I hate the stuff. But cheap enough to buy bareroot. Rampant growth. Couple of strands of barb wire through the hedge or tight into the side of it then hedge will grow round it. Im telling you to do all the things I hate!!!

How did you feel ?

Agreed, I reckon Bolams tranny would look cooler with BOLAM wrote on them

Apart from outlay whats the verdict on Milwaukee. Tools and battery lifespan before useless?

Poor farmers eh. Another leg up from government. My argument is what abouts the other out of date laws. Braking distances etc. from 50 years ago. Trucks only supposed to do 40mph on single carriageways. But they have been using this "new technology" for years. Air suspension, air brakes etc.

Fair play to you buddy. As I've got older and more calloused I don't take rubbish from cocky people anymore. A few businesses no longer get my custom. Performance and good service leads to rewards. When buying vehicle parts I've sent my wife with a description. They have laughed at her, yet when I say same thing they just sort it. Britain used to be a nation of shopkeepers amongst other things.
