  1. Pressure WashersK1 and K2 Pressure WashersKarcher K2 Compact Pressure Washer with T50 Patio Cleaner - Audit :: Karcher Outlet I take your point though. A cheap one might not be very powerful. But chains wear out (even carbide ones). You might break even with a pressure washer at 3x the price and then still have a pressure washer to show for it.
  2. Name it. I have lexis and westlaw logins so can get reports for our general edification.
  3. A pressure washer will probably cost about the same and has more uses.
  4. Theft is criminal; Theft Act 1968, s 5. Trespass (civil) + theft (criminal) = burglary (criminal; Theft Act 1968, s 9). But that's a bit much for a tree in a field. On the civil side, the tree is a nuisance and a defence to trespass could be the implication of a licence to be on the land to cease causing that nuisance (Robson v Hallett [1967] 2 QB 939). But that's a bit much for a tree in a field.
  5. Can you post a link, specification, name or something for the reinforced sheeting you used please.
  6. Excellent thread. Thank you for taking the time to post.
  7. An oil compnay I used to work for had a driver who ran hoses though houses if it was quicker than going round the back. A hose burst. The company had to put the family up in a hotel, demolish the house, remove and replace soil to some ridiculous depth and then build them a new house. Cost an astronomical amount.
  8. For grounding, I like lined leather drivers gloves. I don't find them too hot in summer. As soon as you wear through a finger, cut it off so you don't have a false sense of security. New glove ASAP and relegate the fingerless ones to tasks not done in the heat of battle. Treat them as consumables. The confidence of being well protected should let you work faster.
  9. I've sent a bitch of a saw back to spud and can confirm his approach is as he describes. Fundamentally honest.
  10. A member here has a signature line, 'Kites rise highest against the wind'. A bit of adversity might sort you out. Shut your hand in a door maybe?
  11. Why do these use reciprocating blades rather than circular ones? Circular ones would surely at least double the feedrate (and presumably not make the machine walk cross the room)?
  12. A net tube and some kind of end sealing/weaving/sewing system to save all the net bag changing. The capability must exist. I bet paper 25kg potato bags are made and printed as a tube and then filled like this. I'll take 10% from whoever makes their fortune from it.
  13. Not arboricultural but legal: Make sure you agree with any buyer that the trees willl go with you. Loads of land law cases are expensive bickering over whether curtains, light fittings, tapestries, statues, sheds etc are part of the land or stuff you can take with you. Whether trees are fixed fixtures or removeable fittings is a perfect example of this sort of uncertainty. Agree beforehand so there can be no argument.
  14. My memory is awful. Remind me which one of you works in the public sector.
  15. Thank you very much (and of course the same to other contributors).
  16. 160s are tiny. Just a normal rucksack would do. Or even a webbing yolk and a bit of string. Roesacks are good for odd shaped cargo too.
  17. Another question if you don't mind, Marko. Do you chog the whole branch and sieve the twigs out or are you putting non-twiggy material through in the first place? Do you burn just lumps or all the way down to the twiggy bits?
  18. Apologies for asking the no-brained question but do you mean that you think TR70 chunks would be very good or very bad in a log boiler? I'd have thought they'd be very good but I've heard gassifiers can be fussy with size and shape of material so am prepared to be surprised (I am aware that a log boiler is not necessarily a gassifier).
  19. Expect more of that. These things drag on for ages. Scheduled trials put back because of disclosure/inspection issues and last minute applications for various odds and sods are all common.
  20. If anyone contacts you, could you ask them to start a thread on it please because I'd be very interested too.
  21. Not bad thanks. Busy. Just made it through a glut of deadlines. Drinking lots of beer tomorrow night, going climbing at the weekend and am then settling in for 4 months solid. Glad to see you're sorted. Not a problem, George.
