  1. I always use 2 Leighton Sharp sand ,1 soft sand to 1 cement. dry mix. You want it just wet enough so that if you grab it in your hand and squeeze it, it holds its shape. That way it won't stain the slabs. Slabs need to be dry though. Brush it in and compact it with a rubbing iron. The reason it fails is because people brush it in and don't compact it enough. I brush in. compact, and repeat twice on each joint. Compact it well it won't fail. If it's a dry day I must spray it afterwards. Much cheaper and always got the materials on site already. Forgot to say. Glug of sbr in the mix to.
  2. Need to recommend someone to remove a couple of maples in long crendon. So let me know if you cover that area and want a recommend. Cheers
  3. It's a satisfactory re use , but a reduction is always more satisfactory. [emoji3]
  4. Haven't used arbtalk a lot lately. Got fed up with all the scrapping and continual reiteration of points by some people. Came on couple of days ago for the first time in ages and found two off topic threads that might interest me. This one and media brainwashing. Amazed to find that the same points are being reiterated by the same person/people on these two threads as were being continually made when I last used the site. Shame.
  5. I'll never use it while it comes in disposable containers. Huge amounts of the recyclable plastic ends up in the sea and not recycled. I was always taught reduce, reuse then recycle. Not recycle as the favoured option. Recycling plastic has a massive carbon footprint if it gets recycled at all. I buy my milk from a local farm in a refillable stainless churn. I have a water bottle I fill from the tap. Another thing that bugs me now is coffee cups. Why isn't there an option at the machine to use your own reusable mug.
  6. Top work again Steve.

  10. Sure I'll help out. Just let me know when you want to mill and ill book you in.
  11. Cutting 30mm boards from trees that size it should only be one or two boards that has a bad heart fault. If it looks bad discard it.
  12. I use a cscope cs4pi. As recommended And discussed in another thread on here. It works well and usually prevents me from hitting metal. But won't always save you on a 10"beam etc.
  13. I'm guessing bonsai trees

    Chard...

    Love rainbow chard. Try this recipe for a raw salad. Remove chard stalks, roll a few lraves like a cigar and slice thinly, Soak a lemonn in boiling watr for 10 seconds to remove wax, Take zest off lemon and put in with the chard Make bread crumbs with the bread, slice garlic thinly,& Olive oil in a pan, a fair bit, heat Fry garlic for 20 seconds or so then add breadcrumbs, keep moving bread crumbs, they will soak up all the oil, fry till they are very golden brown and crunchy, maybe 2 or 3 mins, careful not to burn them, add salt and pepper, plenty of salt Set aside to cool Juice lemon, mix with Olive oil 3oil to 1juice, add a pinch of salt, Dress leaves with dressing, add grated parmesan and bread crumbs just before serving, One of my favourite salads.

  18. We used rain stop netting on our wood shed . It's great and let's plenty if wind through. It has eyes sewn in the sides which we threaded high tensile fencing wire through them stapled the wire to the legs. Been up maybe 5 years and still looks good as new.
  19. That's what he is saying. He also insulting huge amounts of noble People. But I guess it's acceptable if your a big I am in the oil industry. I wouldnt bother commenting Ian, because after all, you just make trinkets from wood!
  20. That's an interesting thought. But the likes of wiki etc disagree about the origin?
  21. If you did all that yourself, i take my hat off to u. Looks amazing as it is to me. Wood is wood and it all has its different character. Leave it as it is.
  22. How can you use a 54v battery in a nailer? Ok just realised you can change the voltage on the battery .
  23. I gave up on a milling job for the council as life is too short for too much nonsense.
  24. who is going to pay for the installation off the taco you will require?
  25. Thanks. Do you dont peel anything off. Just eat them as they are?
