  1. You talk to any good game keeper they will not try and catch squirrels this time, as still food about for them. Best off shooting them this time of year.
  2. I have found that sometimes nothing appears on planning application site, but all have gone through. Did have a problem with local tree officer years ago how would not reply to anything I sent or answer phone. So I contacted customer services at council and they put me in contact with their boss, after talking to them got result. Maybe worth a try as he will have someone to answer to.
  3. It's got to be day rate, if no one knows how many want replacing. You could walk a big plantation all day and only plant 100 trees and that's going to be peanut for a days work.
  4. Probably best, as he or she maybe sitting in the shadows on here. Had a meeting a few weeks ago now with Forestry Commission the two young people that turned up new there stuff, and were very helpful give owner of wood a direct contact number to talk to them about any work we want to do in future.
  5. Rolled muntjac haunch boned and rolled rapped in streaky bacon with a bit of stuffing
  6. Not a fan of Reticle getting big when turning mag up
  7. Have found out that Schmidt and bender 2.5-10x50, is a FFP which I am not keen on. So been looking at Ziess Conquest v6,
  8. So my Leupold scope has developed fog inside, so need to send it off for repair. Have found a bargain on a Schmidt and bender 2.5-10x50 ir has anyone on here used or use one.
  9. No sap wood or heart wood. Spruce.
  10. Cut it lower, and drill holes and fill with mixed glyphosate and do it now if you leave it till spring sap will be rising. And cover with plastic. Use glyphosate by instructions only not neat.
  11. Go steady on wire brushing, old boy in my village srart tidying up oil tank landed up putting a hole in it.
  12. It's still down to tanker drivers to fill or not to fill. So if it looks old and possible it may leak they want fill it.
  13. Remember that year, was fencing by a slow flowing river which froze over. But best fun was getting through gate with combination padlock which was frozen, blow lamp didn't do it a lot of good.
  14. Anyone use a good diesel additive to stop black sludge. There's so many on the market but need pointing in right direction.
  15. Check plug cap is all as it should be, had a saw that played up like that and turned out, bit that connected to lead had lost it's spike.
  16. Just can't tell some people what would be best to save money. Old builder I know always quote, Help them the way they are going.
  17. Must be some where they could lose them on golf course. Justin Kingwell mulched a piece of woodland I stalk in early this year it was like a jungle before now like a lawn.
  18. Give Justin Kingwell a ring his got a big mulcher which will deal with them, even if they are in ground still.
  19. If he can't be bothered to meet you and show you what he is on about, and you have all quotes and invoices worded properly. Then only opinion is small claims court most people don't like it if you tell them that's what going to happen, as it black marks there credit score.
  20. Most valve blocks have a way of changing from closed port to open, some are a flow reducer you put in, tap you turn or plug you screw in.
  21. Digging roots out is the easiest bit getting out of garden and getting rid of them is the problem. Some skip companies will take them. When customer wants roots dug out I grind major part out then dig out rest then you have less to get rid of. If you can find someone with wildlife area, maybe worth asking if they want them.
  22. Just apply to both then all bases cover, just incase of tree huggers.
  23. If you want to carry on doing climbing you definitely need to take a brake the odd day. I had a customer how wanted me to top his conifers, which is a 3-4 date job, he go the hump when I said would do one day then have a break. Get someone to do more of the graft.
  24. On a Valtra it's the middle section of the chassis so you don't just drop it out. Did think today must be away to flush and suck tank clean. Brother has got an endoscopy which connects to phone so will borrow it to look in tank to see how bad it is.
