Be aware of water pipes and underground BT cables though!

The single line of text appearing in your quote, is my exact point, other than that I have zero time for Fox's so-called news, they really should stick to making peppermint sweets. Like the breast-beating bereavement "cult" after Princess Diana's death, and indeed perhaps the hysteria after Madaline McCann's disappearance/death. And other such media-fostered over-reactions. When, in the best Fascist fashion, any voices daring to dissent are stridently/hysterically suppressed.

Eh!, patina of age, natural beauty, etc etc etc, smoke it over a steaughy fire, for a olde-worlde fire-blackened look before installing, and no odds. Also wondering if treatment with a stain/oil would largely mitigate the difference, which depending on the orientation to the natural light, might not even be that noticable? Nail on a few horse brasses to hide the transition perhaps? Work with what you have got. EDIT Ah meant tay say, as all us men gotta larn to do!

And under Communism, oh lets say the old USSR, for instance, was it any different? I would attribute it to simple short-sighted individual human greed, rather than any economic system.

Well spotted! but Actually "Saint Greta" per one boke-inducing proclamation.

Well since I have not yet found similar at lower money, I may well be obliged to pay that sort of price, unless you can point me in the right direction ? mth

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142787350479?var=441794738943&ul_noapp=true similar to this offer presumably?

I could make a joke in really poor taste . . .

Anyone want to volunteer any opinions, looking at the Zarges Tubesca 7, but it looks "wile" flimsy, would I be better sticking to a galvanised steel tower, from the likes of TopTower?

Base anchor pulling capability’s vs isolated fork
difflock replied to TTownsend's topic in General chat
Yes, obviously the force will be identical, assuming the line is either tied off at the crotch or passes over the crotch, at the same height. But I understood from some of the previous posts it was the potential for crotch failure due to the imposed compressive/splitting loading from the line that was the possible weakness, if tied off at the base as opposed to the crotch.. -
"Hire" a cow/sheep/horse/lama/geese/rabbits, whatever is available locally, most animal owners would be only too happy at the thought of free grazing?

Base anchor pulling capability’s vs isolated fork
difflock replied to TTownsend's topic in General chat
But how could the crotch "fail" if one has "figure of eighted" round the both limbs? if there was any reason for doubt? or simply use a minor limb to keep the rope "up" while encircling the main bole? cheers Marcus -
Base anchor pulling capability’s vs isolated fork

To me as a non-Arb person, a world of difference in these 2 techniques, in that I would not dream of flipping a line through a crotch/fork and tying off at the base, I dont know why, but I would always, but always climb, however inelegantly, and most probably using ladders and tie off at the choosen pulling point. Simple farmers son applied mechanics at work. -
Labour intensive does not begin to describe it.

So many variables, and most tables will include relatively generous/stupidly generous Factors of Safety.(and I think structural timbers are mostly sized to prevent deflection or undue "springiness") Anyway, are we talking an overhead span (presumably otherwise midspan supports at ground level) Being a garden room, presumably single story? So what mid span loads will the overhead timbers be supporting, or can they be artistically fabricated as part of a truss, ergo much stiffer? Fabricate a trial beam or truss at ground level and test it for stiffness? I cannot imagine sudden failure i.e. there will a LOT of deflection to give reasonable warning prior to failure.

Well at sick squid incl postage I ordered a new one from lsengineering per lurkalots lead. Certainly got leengineering filed away for future reference. thanks all mth
-
Thanks lurkalot and soc, I will try your lsengineering link lurkalot and Nilfisk Gerni at Ballybogey, who are my local Stihl agent, buy/are obliged to buy their Stihl stuff from Cathcarts, so that is then a "no-brainer" for a back-stop soc. Cheers, Marcus EDIT just ordered from lsengineering

As per title, tried the intersnot without success, an I know it may be able to source via my local dealer, but tis simpler to get one posted to the door. P.S. It looks "wile" like the brake shoe springs from the 460 G Wagen I was fettling yesterday, from memory.

Why did the Museum simply not keep it, as an exhibit!

But I wonder will this murder of Lyra McKee, get the same unrelenting coverage, and repeated mentions/point scoring at every conceivable opportunity, as the murder of Jo Cox did/does. mth

see link; https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/04/18/londonderry-riots-woman-dies-shots-fired-petrol-bombs-thrown/ As was said here in the early troubles "they havnt gone away you know", i.e. the IRA/PIRA/NIRA/DIRA.

Anyone remember the book, "101 uses for a dead Cat"?
