The blokes that built the garden room for us, were big into buying certain tools from the states, incl one of those worm drive Skilsaws, essentially stuff that was not available on the Euro market. One very simple thing I saw on Youtube was the steel pins, square or round, 5/8" thick, with predrilled holes every few inches /two inches, for setting out, nailing retaining timbers to etc etc.

Quite Stalwart like is it not?

Reminds me of the old old story about the pair of younguns that fall in love and get married, she soon starts making a few changes, disapproving of his friends, correcting his grammar, improving his table manners, "encouraging" him to get a better job, tidying up the way he dresses, insisting he goes shopping with her, etc etc, until one day 20 years down the line, she sighs heavily one day and says; "John, you know, you are just not the man I married all those years ago" Devon and Cornwall would be the same by the time "J" had them sorted out.

Well . . ., not about topics they know nowt about.

Slob that I am,( and despite trying to persuade/motivate/encourage staff to drain the multitude of strimmers and push mowers at the end of the season) I have only very rarely run the 026 (bought in 1997) dry before parking her up, for up to 3 or 4 months, perhaps 6 months bytimes. Only changed a couple plugs too in all those years. And still she starts and runs. I also leave the mix sitting for months, like all the while the saw is unused. But I use the red Stihl oil and am very particular about the 50:1 ratio. And in this case my light usage should make stale fuel problems more likely. But I never experienced any issues, well perhaps the once to be honest, but it cured itself.

Best thing I did was take my entirely unexpected package and go at 57, (with 32 years "punched") I am now 60, and I was looking forward to a payrise (being the State Pension) in 6 or 7 years, but I will not be getting ahead of myself. Marcus

But assuming wind or birds do not carry them off-site and into a watercourse, surely they will eventually degrade back into the environment, assuming they are not made to the same degradation proof standards as Wavin sewerpipe. In the greater scheme of things there is always something to eat anything.

Hmm, You know that old expression, "Big feet = Big Lad", is there a corrolation, or does he take after his poor ould Da? mth

I ordered a router bit yesterday at 12.22Hrs, from Dennis Wilsons of Glenavy Through the letterbox 08.30 this morning, c/w a complementary carpenters pencil. WOW! Well impressed I am. Edit; I "pinged" them an unsolicited testimonial this morning and got a actual human reply inside of 4 hours, also proof that someone is "gripping" their on-line operation.

Pre-nup or pre-tup, cos I always get them confused

The Soliciter we use airly dismissed my notion of paying for a couple of letters he wrote to a neighbour regarding a disputed RoW. Cynic that I am, I merely allow he will recoup any such losses when our Estate is settled!

But Wait! there is more . . . -
I take it the guards are to prevent the "fecking" sheep eating the trees, this could also perhaps the reason they are transplanted when larger? Marcus

stob /stɒb/ Learn to pronounce noun DIALECT•SCOTTISH a broken branch or a stump. "old roots and stobs and crackling leaves" a stake used for fencing. Round here in Co Antrim I have heard locals refer to fence posts as "paling stabs"

Looked genuine to me, but perhaps, just perhaps, or perhaps not, the history was a trifle sexed-up to catch the casual browsers eye. But as I said, looks essentially genuine, to a cynical 60 year old me. Regardless, why does no-one leave diggers like that up my abandoned Woods? Snot fair!

Except, since after 16 years, an absolutely uninformed(but obviously mechanically savvy) individual got it going, and in a very simple straightforward manner, apparently? So why was it so readily abandoned as being "broken"? I did wonder did the owner/operator imagine his track motor was shot, ergo beyond economic repair, when in fact it was merely the linkage had become disconnected?

Sorry "J", but as a lifelong NI resident, who only once visited Cornwall on hols, and in a reasonably sized Ford Galaxy, I had no issue with the narrow lanes, roads or village streets, and these features are EXACTLY what makes Cornwall attractive to tourists. Now the plethora of ever changing speed limits on roads unfamiliar to me, did do my nut in. mth

I had seen thissun on my YouTube selection and ignored it as probably being the usual pile o shite. I was wrong. Perplexed as to; (i)why it was abandoned in the first place, and (ii) are they in a stupidly remote area with no scunging light fingered scrappies. mth
