Good plan! Shame it won't get you anything but trouble, cost a heap of money and effort and even makes you liable for potential injuries... Apart from that, good plan...

Why on earth does somebody buy ten acres of wood and then ask that question? I find that difficult to believe, impulse buying is one thing but you can't buy a wood with a tank of petrol or a newspaper.

But you don't mind being Frenchist?

It'll have a K-series engine. Common faults are: Rad leaking, Water pump leaking and I think the thermostat housing can crack (though its been a while since I touched one). The slow leaks on these tend to be what bu@@ers the (inferior design) head gasket. The recent heat should not really make any difference, seeing as the engine coolant operates at far higher temperatures so unless you had an overheating issue, coolant temp would not have been any higher than normal. The water pump can suddenly fail if its started to leak, which often leads to near instant engine death... An other common fault would be perished hoses or clips, as some of the factory fitted clips were of the "spring type" which get weaker when old, especially if taken off a few times. It'll also be getting on a bit in age? Good little car though.

I agree, arrest all fat people before they steal all the pies as well!

I reckon the fat bald one is French....

I bought about €3.5k worth of stihl saws in one hit a while ago from a Dutch dealer. I went round and spoke to 7 or 8 different dealers before going back to my local one who did me the best deal: I got a free hat, and 2.5% off rrp... All the others would not budge from rrp, even when I told them I'd need to put another much bigger order in that same year....

Surely professional users are the very reason Stihl have a large domestic market share? It's only because amateurs want to use the same kit, as "pro's use it so it must be good". I'm no marketing expert and the stihl name is a very strong brand indeed, but it takes a lot less time to destroy a name than it does to build one...

Would you stock Aspen?

Dead elm, Blackthorn, Robina!

"Frequently grazed grassland area"... If that means a conventional, not many animals/acre for a few weeks at a time. It'll be likely to be very compacted, much more so than the effects of dumping some soil or rubble.

No, a saline pool uses salt and breaks it down by electrolysis into the two chlorine's that you'd add in a normal pool. A bromine pool uses no chlorine at all, though works quite similar.

Could they be old pictures of Elf's machine? -
Not really.... But fortunately no money leaks either

Teva gets my vote, nice cushioned soles, intelligent design, and they're made for active lifestyles so just right for when you have to sprint to get the bottle opener.

The main thing to remember is that writing something on a public forum is not the same as talking to a mate in the pub. I could quite happily tell my mates to "F*%$k off, as they're acting like complete c¥~+s...." To write that down though, where it could be read, years from now by the most dour vicars daughter imaginable is another thing entirely.

Private trees overhanging public space?
Daniël Bos replied to Daniël Bos's topic in Trees and the Law
That would work around here! My wife sent one of those "take action now!" Emails to our local councillor last winter when it was proper cold, about what they did to help the homeless under such circumstances. That evening he was knocking on our door to explain that they'd put the single homeless guy in a B&B for the night and they'd send a social worker out next day to help him make up with his mum... -

Daniël Bos replied to Daniël Bos's topic in Trees and the Law
I was unashamedly fishing for a compliment there.... And spell check hides a lot of the mistakes I would make. So, I've got a "no it's the councils job" A "yes" And an "if you do you might get sued" -

You's got to remember that I is foreign... -
Back in the day.... There was no such thing as a 261! Unless "back in the day" is last year? in which case you need a lesson in the appropriate use of proverbs and colloquialisms. Answers above are all correct ofcourse, 550xp All The way. On a more serious note, if my wife heard you speak like that she'd smack some sense into you. Bollockspeak like that is insensitive, sexist, immoral and unnecessarily demeaning to women and it makes you sound like a complete "Caring Understanding Nineties Type" ....

A rhetorical question: A tree, in a private garden is hanging over the boundary, over a footpath. The footpath is in a pavement beside a main road. Can a user of this footpath cut back any branches overhanging said path that are obstructing them? I ask this as we have this situation locally. The owner of the tree is happy to prune it back, or for somebody else to do so. It just had me wondering wether, had the owner not been willing, a member of the public would have been in his/her rights to remove any growth obstructing their progress?

Sorry, pic?

Dutch take on your pool design:

I have an old 180 carb that was fine when I took it off. I replaced the carb on mine with one of an American ms210 for having the full adjustment options when I ported it.

So, who bought it then?
