  1. Congrats on the birth - trust all went well. Not seen your pre-natal work, but liking the post-natal phase Terry
  2. regardless of the elf & safety aspect, kudos to the man for holding that beast of a saw like that for however long it took to cut the boards
  3. uh-oh, santa's sleigh is looking like it might be full of digger toys this year
  4. yup - even got the missus doing it now - result The down side is that every time she reverses my van is at additional risk
  5. also worked with Richard Head - Dick to his mates
  6. Ah - missed it first time around then
  7. mmmm not a lot blocking his view either I'll second the numpty call.
  8. Well I do, but the bloke in the vid doesnt [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02QWRo1W4II]MY LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES VOL.14 LUMBER CUT BY CHAIN SAW - YouTube[/ame] Anybody know what saw that is?
  9. go on then, how many?? Have had 8 nurses + a driver in a mini doing a 5 mile run to the college barbecue
  10. :lol::lol: regarding utilities - we shifted ours around a bit and then a bloke rang up to enquire about plotting where everything was. No problem says I, make it when I am about and I can show you exactly where it all is. Turns up while I am away and seems to have guessed where it all is - numpties :lol:
  11. yup, makes sense to keep the options open for later expansion. If the build method is kept simple, just add another bay as and when if required
  12. thanks Gareth - so both those options expand by about a third of their narrow setting. Interesting
  13. yea, would be good to be able to reach through the computor screen and grab the b*&%$ds by the throat or punch their lights out. What we need is one of these hackers or IT geeks to be able to track them down somehow and send in a squad to sort them out. I am sure there would be a few volunteers on here to help out.
  14. Cheers Craig, much obliged. Will pass on
  15. :lol::lol:
  16. :lol: occasionally the company arranges a hire car to get me home and on a recent occasion, was being teased that I would get a fiat 500 or mini (I am 6'6" tall) Sods law a cream with red highlights Fiat 500 turned up and had everybody rolling around in stiches In its defense, I did fit in (without having to put my head out the skylight as predicted ) Got me from Great Yarmouth to the west country in pretty good time. did it on a thimble of fuel too. Would I buy one - no :lol:
  17. excuse my ignorance, but how common is the expanding track option in these machines and how much do they generally expand by? edit - re expansion, it obviously depends on the specifics of the machine, but does it add a significant width - 10%, 30%??
  18. ha ha spotted the owl too Nick Fantastic bit of timber Andrew. As has been said, the costs incurred will soon be forgotten, if not already considering the outcome. A few years of letting it season quietly will be well spent planning exactly what and how you are going to use the timber. Once you do get to that stage, please update us with the results. No pressure to rush, just let it evolve in its own time - it will be worth waiting for.
  19. regarding quotes for running in services, they tend to start with a high price including all installation of pipes/wires etc. If you do some of the work yourself the price drops right off. We did the trenching and installation of the cables/pipes and they just arrived to do the connections either end - made a huge difference to the price. Mind you I have heard that they dont like you doing that anymore, but not sure.
  20. interested in a link for this as well Craig - my neighbour is looking at options at the moment.
  21. dont know much about top handled saws, but would that qualify as one:confused1:
  22. haha - yes sometimes we can put too much thought into things. Whatever you ended up with there will be pro's and con's. I am sure you will find work to keep it gainfully employed one way or another.
  23. ah, with you now Sounds like the CHP situation is still unchanged then - utter shite
  24. and assuming you have sobered up since while using it, not too bad a result for a pissed up purchase - there have been a lot worse :lol:
