More to the point, ask whether you’re doing it the best way if you need an ejector seat system. It could be that it’s a worthwhile risk so crack on like that but do always ask yourself. And be prepared to change your mind. “I was wrong. This is too sketchy. Let’s change plan.” Congratulations. You’re now cleverer than you were before AND still alive.

Cable ties. And/or just take it off entirely at the critical moment.

Mum also has that exact pyrex jug. She asked me for it back only an hour ago. It's been in the garage since I used it to mix 2 stroke a couple of weeks ago.

I'm looking at mum's red one she uses for chips right now. Is silvering just what the name suggests, coating the copper in silver?

Nice cooker, nice saucepan, looks like olive oil (which I approve of for frying). You're doing a great job, Pete. Well done.

What am I measuring today - fiddle setup and truckers’ hitch

I could send you a picture of my mum to double check but at this stage I'd say let sleeping dogs lie anyway. -

Ebay. £40. Low end but tested it with various known weights (10, 25, 100, 300, 350) and has been bob on every time. Wouldn't trust it for proper paperwork but brilliant for my little bouts of curiosity. I got the 1000kg one because I was being tight and thought I was only going to be using it for little things. Probably should have got the 3000kg because that's not actually that hard to make. I reckon 2:1 on a GRCS would get close. ebay crane scale 1000kg 1500kg 3000kg 1 ton 3 ton 5 ton gets you there. -

I can do them with knots that are a pain to undo but the slick version we're talking about I'm pretty sure I learned from you. Or was at least recently brought to my attention by you. -

Reckless. -
Don't know answer to either question. You can find mine in old posts on here though. "bluetooth" AND "AHPP" site:arbtalk.co.uk or something like that. I misread your post btw. I thought we were talking about motorcycle intercoms. I doubt those work as comms. They're probably just for music from your phone, maybe phone calls. Either way, they're not in a helmet.

I did wonder why they went with full house over normal full comp. Must be a reason. Smoothness? Do you have one? If so, could we prevail upon you to have a loop of normal made up to see whether that's any better?

So it's you I speak to about the shame of not being arsed to look it up is it? -
You don't need a phone.They connect device to device. Well most do anyway. I don't know what you've bought.

And since I was in the mood for measuring things (and since these measuring threads are half for the general interest of measuring things and half to manoeuvre your minds into one day warmly welcoming my forthcoming and fabulous little rigging device into your lives), I went and did a couple of other pulls. I put this on very, very easily. And then I put this on, still quite easily. Infinite pull length, captures progress, makes a nice noise.

Could moonlight in estate agency, yes. But not that much.

Bit rough. You'd want to line some things up like a rifle rear and fore sight. Streetview photos are never going to be taken from the same place.
-
Is that with the full house chain it comes with, as opposed to the more common full complement on everything else? That would explain the grabbing.

What Steve said. All or nothing. Raising, thinning or isolating is just going to potentially yield a raised, thinned or isolated tree sat on the garage, plus you've messed with nature in the intervening period and let wind through, doing no doubt complex things. Not worth the headache. Man plans, god laughs. And what Steve said about the measuring. My first thought was a screw, a plumb bob and a mark on the floor but whatever. And yes, checking after weeks/months, not years. Better yet, plumb bob, mark on the floor and have the customer check daily. I bet the slope in the neighbours' is recent and something to do with this. What sort of area is this? If you climbed one of the trees and looked left, would you see miles and miles of wind fetch coming off the sea or something?

I was saying the other day how Tesco mobile phone shops are great and the people who work in them saints for spending entire days teaching the elderly to use iphones. So anyway. If the rattles and dummies don't work out...

I was going to write, "If in doubt, do nowt." Then I got to the second and third pictures. Bloody hell. They do look threatening. Has anything happened to the ground on the lifting side of the root plates?

Whatever that is in the photo, pulling in line as much as possible so as not to vector it - 125kg Then vector pulled it by pulling sideways - 160kg Also reset it higher to vector pull it by sitting on the rope - 170kg ——— No photo of a truckers’ hitch. I couldn’t remember the neat way to do it with the the overlapping hand wraps and couldn’t bear the shame of Mick shaking his head at the slipknot I used instead. ——— Same rope, truckers’ hitch - 50kg Vector pulled that too (sitting on rope) - 170kg

Guy. Keep posting please.I ****************ing love hedges.

Even worse I'm afraid. I'm an arb.
