  1. I think you are right. We tend not to notice how many really decent folk there are in the world , they get a bit obscured by one or two great big fat orrible ones. Heres to the decent folk:thumbup1:
  2. That sounds like a well thought out plan, wish I had thought of that! We pegged our textile down with the pegs and that works fine. Having been a sceptic of the plastic, I now wouldnt dream of planting without, we have done a couple of Km some of it in iffy ground and its grown away really well from just a slit in the fabric, make a slot with a draining spade and heel in well.
  3. for Rugby players too the post match hot bath has been superseded by ice. (I haven't played in years)
  4. Andrew, Ive got an 028 that was running like a train, but I dropped a tree on the back handle, the motor is still 100 % (was last year), I can feel a donation coming on.
  5. being a bit anally retentive I get the log out and weigh it quite often, then put the numbers in a spreadsheet, so after a bit you can see where its going to land up. Actually mostly I am worried about woodchip which is by definition 0% after 24hrs (at 110 C) but it would be a useful comparison to measure a log then test it in the oven. The gadgets to measure chip moisture % cost nearly a grand, so its cheaper to get more wood.
  6. my tip is DON'T DRINK THE WATER I havent got a meter but if I want to know I weigh a log then stick it in the oven, it creates a nice smell, and after a couple of days you can weigh it again and work out the %
  7. sometimes they are a sort of coppery colour tbf
  8. for me its inevitable, but I can see the advantage of leaving work at work
  9. ....... and fortunately the tank wasn't ruptured...
  10. at least the bloke got the log split, there was one on her entitled How To Split 20 tonnes who hadnt even done 20 kg in a 20 minute video. Where do these guys get the time to waste?
  11. I dont know about black as a colour, you could loose it in long grass:001_smile:Hope it goes well, I love my orange one and they are an awesome gadget to have!
  12. http://www.treespanner.co.uk/‎ or Copford, depending where you are
  13. Good luck James, sometimes cutting trees is the easy bit:biggrin:
  14. if you had it for the bedroom, you might wake up in a cold sweat thinking you had dozed off at lunchtime cool idea though
  15. if youve taken a lot off the teeth then you may need to take the rakers down as well.
  16. ive got a trunk and I go to the mill almost every week, edit I might just need to measure before promising 550
  17. damn, I thought I was really on to win the file:biggrin: good thread!
  18. Either because it was going to be frosty and then they wouldnt be stuck, or on impact they inverted themselves????
