  1. Two shops swore blind you can and the boss chose to go with it. I remain sceptical.
  2. Course it can. It’s just a matter of whether it’s efficient and what the cost of crushing the gutters and bottom tiles if you slip is. I’ve done as much of this shed as possible from the skidder MEWP and the tower. Way easier than tiptoeing around on battens.
  3. I did put a bit of foam over the ridge, although I was only hanging against it when further up the roof.
  4. The executive can stick it up their arse.
  5. I did unclip while mum moved it six feet forward. Largely because earlier in the day I realised she was on careless driving form when she nearly catapulted me over a hedge pulling a lever on the skidsteer like it was an on/off switch. Fairly unsafe manbasketing.
  6. SRT. Safe roofing technique.
  7. Says 1946 on the receiver. Shame it’s not a 1947 model, like dad, who I bought it for. Took the bayonet off. Kept getting caught in something.
  8. Classist as well as racist! That’s at least two of you who’ve missed the joke now… I was batting it around let week as it happens. Been building a shed with dad. It was meant to be an exercise in using up scraps but he’s ended up buying loads of expensive, rubbish wood. Looking at all the feather edge here alone, a Woodlands and a lorryload of larch would have paid for itself over the years.
  9. Arbtalk isn’t a place I can be anymore.

    Romalpa clauses if anyone is interested in googling it.
  11. An apple a day…
  12. Got one for my Skidster. Runs 6 and 12" fine in slightly flinty clay.
  13. I’m sure you did.
  14. I’m getting round to recruiting a wife. Part of the hiring process is making sure she comes with her own copy of Mrs Beeton’s.
  15. There’s no company but if what you’ve said is a thing, maybe there’s a loophole whereby they form a partnership and then the OP sells out to his new partner.
  16. ****************em. Let em die.
  17. Has the Eject killed anyone yet?
  18. I don’t think that’s an alder.
  19. That gallic fling of the hand at 0:17. Delicious.
  20. The mature leaves won’t be six inches in length but it’s always nice when women report measurements incorrectly in that direction.
  21. The safety stasi can stay seated. I sent mum up first to make sure it was ok.
  22. What I was getting round to saying was that the Skidster is undersized for carrying stuff around the garden where there’s space for much bigger, cheaper machines (rough terrain forklift) but I can also sneak those log crates round the cars on the driveway and put them down by either door firewood goes into the house through. I was also today mewping around inside a shed dad and I are building. Low height meant I could get in under the braces. Not sure a sedentary articulator like an Avant or Multione would have fitted.
  23. I’ve got the firewood at mum and dad’s pretty portable now. Most of it is in pallet crates that tiles or something come in and I collect from a convenient building site. Also made a couple of these sheep net crates. They stack very obligingly, are low enough to bundle whatever into or climb into and are a useful way to use up short scraps of fence. IMG_1543.MOV
  24. Hoses are obvious. I assume all but the smallest outfits have equipment to make their own?
  25. I’ve heard of wheeled forwarders breaking various gearboxes, bogey drive things etc. Do diggers die from brash butts poking through cabs and engine compartments?
