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?
-
I saw the "stacked" branches and thought it likely the top one failed and took the lower ones off on its way down.
-
That link takes me to "surprise" Arbtalks very first thread? I agree about the look of that bent bit of cab though... Maybe a "borrowed" picture?

Little speedline and floating anchor job in the sun

No worries. -

All of this members' posts are identical slander, I've reported it. -
I don't really see the problem? You did a job, to her spec. Because of her spec you got a follow on job replacing one slab. (For which I assume you charged royally, I would have...) Again because of her spec you got yet another follow on job! I presume you treated a test area with this sealer to show her how hideous it would look when finished? ( not your workmanship, the horrible plastic look stuff gets with these products) If she's still not happy (and from what I read its not your workmanship she's unhappy with, but the materials she chose) I'd suggest ripping the lot up again and putting some real stone slabs in. Then you'll have earned once to put it in, once again to replace one slab, then some more to seal it, and now you have an opportunity to earn the big cake again! Some people, they complain too much...

I use my milling saw with brake (can't see how it can get in anyone's way?) but without felling spikes....

The seller appears legit? Though there's no feedback as a seller, nearly all of their purchases appear chainsaw related (GHS, chains direct, tesgol, etc). Dunno though.
