  1. Depending on how much weight you will be hauling and lifting to dump I would say 18" off center. Have you considered aluminum for your frame work in conjunction with the phenolic pit floor?. How thick will your floor be? easy-lift guy
  2. At least you have this matter behind you. Glad the drama has been nipped in the bud and you have a clear conscious going forward. Thanks for the rest of the story. easy-lift guy
  3. I am sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories of the time you shared with your best friend. I hope you will be able to fill the void in your life and once again by finding a new dog, when your ready. I have lost 3 cats in the last 4 years and their total life span was nearly 60 human years!. Keep your self busy, and when you and your wife are ready for a new family member make the decision and fill the void within your daily routein and lives. Take care. easy-lift guy
  4. Sorry Jon, can't down load the video from here,although I have been told that is another complaint about wind farms as well! The noise pollution! easy-lift guy
  5. Considering how many birds are slaughtered every day over here by wind turbines I am curious why no one has mentioned this fact for this thread?. Last time I saw wind farm i observed from 20000 feet watching a line of wind turbines along a mountaineer range in Pensilvania. I counted at least 100 turbines. Less than 50 were functioning. I am sure the government was involved with the financing and maintenance of said devices. How much did the citizens of Pensilvania benefit from this "scheme ", very little I bet. Are the citizens of Pensilvania and the US Tax payers still paying for this "scheme"? You bet!. As long as the government has anything to do with the private industry the results have been and will always remain the same, higher taxes to keep what ever alive and zero return for the investment. Loose Loose, just remember when you choose! easy-lift guy
  6. This video has been making the rounds all over the US for the last few days. Nice to know the cat had this young boy as a pet and was not willing to let any thing harm or take advantage of that relationship. The dog was later captured and put down by animal control. easy-lift guy
  7. Might I suggest Claymores evenly spaced between cones. Make sure the material discharged from such devices are pleasant smelling like fish emulsion. Actually worked very well once upon a time on Halloween night here stateside!. All kidding aside people on either side of the pond are selfish and inconsiderate. Bad combo when your trying to earn a living. easy-lift guy
  8. Although it has been suggested or actually said for threads like this to be in the members only forum or exchanging PM'S between one another, I see that the more things change the more they stay the same. My advise, don't say anything about security or theft prevention on an open forum. Don't take pictures of your company trucks or trailers with contact information for theives to in time steal what ever they can from you. When and if the government decides to actually arrest, punish with either long term prison sentences or permanent deportation or exile of said criminals shal any real change for the better ever take place. Please keep the preasure up against your elected officials and hold them accountable for what is happening, and not happening. easy-lift guy
  9. One case of duck tape will fix that up better than new! easy-lift guy
  10. Dear Egg, I am sorry for your loss. I shall say a Rosary for her and your family today. Take care. Ted
  11. Actually I love Maple syrup, especially on pancakes and waffels:thumbup1: Millions of Maple syrup vampires round these parts! easy-lift guy
  12. That night watchman deserves a nice thank you and lunch or dinner out. I realize he was only doing his job and considering how much more damage could have been done you were very fortunate. easy-lift guy
  13. Round-up @ 41% strength 4oz per gallon of H2O. A couple of gallons should do the trick:thumbup1:
  14. I don't believe the country of origin was stated for these items, was that information omitted or are the readers to assume where they came from?. Very please to see that the items were destroyed and not forwarded back to the manufacturer. easy-lift guy
  15. Two questions. 1st does it come with a retaining Tyre?, 2nd who gets to stack the wood after each use?. Otherwise seems to work well with a particular type of wood, other species?. easy-lift guy
  16. Always have a change work order signed off by client and contractor. I have seen the same thing occur here with many different contractors. On many occasions contractors have gone under because clients would take advantage of the contractors ignorance of the law and the clients knowledge of same law. easy-lift guy
  17. Capital idea:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  18. Perhaps, however the customer would be well advised to not appear on Deans Black list:sneaky2:. easy-lift guy
  19. The reasons why are because Stihl and Husqvarna treat each part of the worldwide market according to out right sales and volume. The market share In the UK is a certain percentage and based on number of units sold annually and spare parts determines the price of goods sold. If you compare the market share of North America to say all of Europe, and the UK your would discover that the North American market is much larger in comparison. Now I agree that the prices of their products should be cheaper the closer they are to where they are manufactured, however the why part is above my rank and pay grade to figure out:sneaky2: easy-lift guy
  20. When I was in 5th grade I had a really mean teacher that truly lived to make my school year in her class a living He double hockey sticks. Every kid would bring a toy now and again to school and the school rule was you could bring your toys to school however only play with them after lunch during recess. Fair enough except not good enough for Mrs. Heath If any members remember the movie A Christmas Story featuring Ralphy go back to the seen wher Ralphies teacher had a deep desk drawer full of games and toys collected over the school year. Now understand that Ralphies teacher was an angel compared to my teacher. In any event one day she did a random search of my desk and I was unable to hide my best Hot Wheels Mustang from her and she stole it from me. It wasn't bad enough that she took everything from all of the students she would brag about how she would give all of the toys out for her Two nephews in South Dakota every year for Christmas or their birthdays!. I reached a breaking point and came up with a plan to liberate all of the stolen booty and make sure said items would be returned to the rightful owners. The plan consisted of Only One trusted conspirator as a look out, a fair amount if timing and a whole lot of luck. Since the cafeteria was directly across from my class room and the students left the room from left to right rows I was in the last row and my buddy Robert sat in front of me. When it came time for my turn to walk out of the class room I turned to Mrs Heath and said Mrs Heath I really need to go to the bathroom very bad!!!!, can I please go now while holding my crotch in fainted anguish. She looked at me and said go to the bathroom right now and get your butt in line. Mean while Robert ducked back out of sight and as I walked towards the bathroom door and saw the Witch, Mrs Heath she yell at me one more time Hurry up!. She went into the lunch room and history was in the making. With Robert as my look out I quickly without any though of if I got caught or being punished empty that really deep drawer into my really deep winter coat pockets and any where else I could find a holding spot. Before I knew it the deed was done and as I thanked Robert he came in a seperate entrance to the cafeteria as I came through the door to stand in line for my lunch to be served. Robert, I pulled off the single greatest version of Robin Hood, I mean Ted in the history of Scaggsvile elementary schools history. During lunch neither one of us could actually believe what we had accomplished and than came the moment of truth when after lunch recess and I told Robert to tell everyone if they wanted all of their toys back to see me right than and their. The response was fast and an understood vow of silence was assured. My celebrity status lasted until the rest of the school day and than the next day Mrs. Heath, AKA The Witch was a changed person. Seemingly over night she must have checked her inventory and realized One brave young man who suffer verbal and physical abuse from her up to that point put her and her grand kids from South Dakota in their places once and for all. The routine stealing of toys ment for playing during recess ended and in spite of no evidence against the suspected students the Witches attitude and physical abuse ended as well. This is a true story, and I suspect the statue of limitations have run out long ago. easy-lift guy
  21. You could have a small picture display set up showing trees in a mature state being harvested into unfinished material and made into finished furniture! Showing an actual piece of finished product will help the students understand an industry in your country that I suspect many do not know about. easy-lift guy
  22. Actually I asked you if a chainsaw could be sold without a chain on the bar not without a chain. Having a chain not on a bar but still sold with a chain saw does not make the product incomplete. It means that the chain will need to be fitted to the bar in order for the chainsaw to cut wood. Really not trying to bust your chops, I only know here stateside I can pretty much purchase a saw manufactured by Stihl in the box and I can handle the assembly myself. easy-lift guy
  23. So if the chain saw is sold with a without a chain on the bar that would be a sellable item according to the new policy? easy-lift guy
  24. When I was 7 I attended a Memorial Day picnic with my family at a state park in Maryland. Seems like the drive home was long and was instructed by my father to visit the outhouse before leaving for home. I had taken my PF Flyers and tied the shoe laces together and placed them next to the toilet seat. Just before I was ready to finish my paper work some one banged on the door and I accidentally brushed against my shoes and down they went!. All I could think of was if my dad finds out I will be doomed. Fortunately this occurance was not that unusuall and if you can see imagine a pole say 10' long with a hook retrieving a pair of the only prized pair of shoes you had. Believe me I was never more thankful, relieved in my young life. easy-lift guy
  25. Back in the 70's this was a common story that was told by some of my family members. Although I do not recall knowingly consuming the Purina Dog Chow, my father did once prepare tuna fish cat food sandwiches for lunch. Seems due to low lighting and a strong appetite he managed to go through two cans and it was not until my mother got home and discovered that someone had opened Two cans for one cat:sneaky2:. During interrogation my father admitted that the first can did taste different and after reading the label with more light he discovered that the word TUNA with small print cat food fooled him. He promptly pitched the first can and of course due to his previously strong appetite even stronger now proceeded to allow history to repeat its self. I can still remember my cousin and I out side flying a kite when we were called to the kitchen table. Since my cousin had lunch early, lucky him I sat down and looked at my sandwich and new something's were not good, and so did my cousin. I told my father, this does not look or smell like tuna fish:sneaky2: Of course by this time my fathers Two sandwiches were down to One and he told me to never mind and eat my lunch, all the time my cousin is nearly crying from holding back the laughter from watching me eat TUNA cat food sandwich :lol. I felt so much better when my mom informed me of what had happened that night while I laid in bed trying to go to sleep! True story. Moral of the story, Always read the label, especially the fine print before preparing and serving lunch to the innocent:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
