  1. I imagine whoever experiences the profit or loss is taking it as seriously as it can be taken. As for the environmental worries, keep an eye on it for 10,000 years. See if it sorts itself out. Worry then if it hasn't.
  2. Have you got any lorry based grapple saws in your area? That would have been an ideal job for one, snipping the limbs and tops off working up the drive and dangling a climber cleaning up stubs on the way back.
  3. I wouldn’t call it a crisis. It’s just change. Things come and go. Man plans, god laughs. Etc. It’s pukka firewood but nothing special beyond that. Probably more like a crisis if you’ve invested money in a crop of it that you’ll not recoup.
  4. It’ll all work but I handled some new Makita stuff a few weeks ago and it felt crap and plastic. The Dewalt drill my neighbour has is very strong and a friend has the darling little 10.8v set, which I would have in a heartbeat. I happen to like Milwaukee but out of Dewalt and Makita, Dewalt.
  5. Aye. That if he can. Otherwise just try it. It'll either work or it won't.
  6. Nice gaff. I’d personally just use it and be ready with a wet towel the first few times in case it’s blocked, catches fire etc.

    Big birch

    Closer to 20” but that was very crudely measured. I’d have guessed 2’.
  8. With the sucked in stomach look too?
  9. Maybe it was the target for trenching shovel throwing.

    Big birch

    I forgot to put that in the opening post. Not only are these unusually big, they’re unusually healthy. Aware those things linked.

    Big birch

    An unusually stout birch measuring approximately four Screwfix catalogues DBH. I have seen other big ones but never bothered to take photos or mentally record the sizes. Anyone found bigger than this one?
  12. Or whatever it is. Spotted at the end of Marlborough high street. I’d be very interested to slice though it to see how the grain runs etc. Any observations or guesses?
  13. Hope someone has the presence of mind to turn a blower on you.

    Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B | Hitchhikers | Fandom HITCHHIKERS.FANDOM.COM The Golgafrincham Ark Fleet Ship B was a starship designed to relocate the (largely redundant) useless part of the population from the planet of Golgafrincham. The ship was led by the captain, with Number One and Number Two next in charge. The Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B was a way of removing the basically useless citizens from the planet of Golgafrincham. A variety of stories were formed about the doom of the planet, such as blowing up, crashing into the sun or being eaten by a mutant star g
  16. I was about to suggest a sheet (and tie to something and drive off to empty) but several sheets is even better. Simple and ingenious. Thanks for posting.

    I’d discerned from your posting over the years that you live a different domestic life to many. Hugely interested to read more. The various conveniences and economies of scale must be excellent; always the correct person/vehicle/tool available for the correct job, always space to store a bulk buy or a good buy, drains like council tax and utility standing charges spread out. I wouldn’t imagine the lifestyle hampers capitalist opportunity in the slightest either? The opposite even. You could easily own a house (let) or any other asset elsewhere in the same way that you work elsewhere. Many would regard that as better business than the house in which you live being your biggest “asset.”
  18. Not exactly what you're describing but the Overton window might be the phrase you're thinking of.
  19. Did the poor machine access have you waiting around in the tree while stuff was organised on the ground?
  20. Don’t know but sounds eminently plausible.
  21. Air, spark or compression then. That’s all there is. I’d still say fuel. Or something like chain oil dripping onto the exhaust maybe.
  22. ‘Entering into a retrospective monolith pollard management cycle presents several key advantages, primarily the avoidance of excessive reactionary novel growth at primary and secondary scaffold locations that would present inherent morphological challenges to a species whose mechanical characteristics do not meet the specification that would be required to effectively mitigate foreseen failure risk under such circumstances.’ Et cetera et cetera ad infinitum ad nauseam. I just wrote it for humans before.
