    Running a hgv

    AHPP replied to mowingjamie's topic in Arb-Trucks

    I'm vaguely aware of the existence of what people call "private HGV." I assume that's stuff like people using horse lorries for pleasure only. What are the requirements for that?

    Don’t underestimate how piecemeal the workflow in building is. You’re thinking in a joined up way, trying to save them time and money. Correct but not necessarily their language. I’d want to do it the joined up way with the big digger (and a tub grinder) but that’s in part because I don’t have to convince your client. Ring someone like Kingwell. They may have some advice on how this sort of thing commonly goes. Plus they have the kit for whichever way you end up going.

    A gauntlet he probably only has to run once. The next time he hires it, it’ll still be torqued up as he left it.

    If you hire it regularly, it might be worth you having your own set of blades that you put on Monday morning and take off Friday afternoon.

    Question also open to the floor of course.

    Where in the world is 100 years “behind” the UK? I’m becoming increasingly open minded about leaving.

    Re-read previous post. Previous crisis. Not a new one. Got it.

    What’s up with the 150? Three thousand words or less please.

    I fondly remember the first time I went onto a building site with someone else’s cards. Told the site manager the wrong name. He looked at the photos on the cards and looked at me. Asked my name again. I got it wrong again. Twenty minutes later I was spiking up a 5’ DBH chestnut. Bloody pointless charade.

    Aye. The internet is full of shit. Ask Timberwolf instead. That’ll shut them up. They’re saying it’s fine in the same breath as not charging you bear in mind. Same thing as when I told a garage owner that my van went in full of diesel and came out half empty. Either they’d been very thorough with the emissions section of the test or someone had been nicking diesel from it. “My lads would never do that.” etc etc etc… While he quickly unfolded £20 notes from his pocket with a look on his face that hoped I just took them and didn’t call the filth.

    These do all that. Had one failure over six years or so. Someone mashed the charger in and bent a pin. DIY install takes twenty minutes a helmet doing a neat job. I've got the mic in the headband on these. They come with boom mics as well. Had those on my last ones (demoted to spares owing to diminished battery life after five years ish). They look like they'll catch on stuff. I've not been shy getting in amongst stuff wearing them and they've never snagged etc. Freedconn. £45 on eBay.

    What's popular on Youtube makes me weep. Generally speaking, the more vacuous the better. Someone could cure cancer, desalinate water with music or synthesize helium in their kitchen. Ten people would watch. There's a black kid in London who reviews fried chicken takeaways. Tens of millions of views. A friend thinks he's mint, uses his catchphrases and everything. He's a practising solicitor.

    What could go wrong.

    Aye. I'm hedging by also guessing she's just got it shut down too much.

    I reckon your wood ash is stifling your coal and your coal ash is stifling your wood. Clean it out and try one or the other for a couple of days.

    How long does it last?

    I generally find it puerile and cringey when people say, "I'd have had him over the counter!" but the entirely proper thing to do to in that situation is put the perpetrator to death.

    Never considered it. Road fabric is the stuff that has always particularly offended me. Black stuff three or four metres wide that people put under whatever to fines to make a track.

    I nearly said expanding foam too. They’re not necessary. They’re just evil. Plastic underlay under aggregates is another thing I have in my sights. I’ve never found anyone who can give me a satisfactory explanation for what it does other than cost money, rip and be a wasteful mess to extract.

    Based on microplastic particles 0.05mm long, wide and high (as per article) half a standard mug would be solid plastic. Busted.

    I vowed a few years ago to audition builders by asking (apparently offhandedly) what brand of silicone sealant they used. If their response was anything other than, “I don’t use that idiotic bodging shit.” they don’t get hired.

    Label your picture with what you’re calling the actuator and control.

    Go the whole hog, dress up and make them smell the glove. Best done at night where neighbours present.

    I have a box of yoga blend so acrid that I have demoted it to "incense, automotive grade" and use it to detect intake manifold leaks.

    Good username. You haven't sharpened it enough. For example, you need to take about a quarter of the tooth in top picture off.
