Thank for that mate, they look awesome, will look into it, but not sure I can justify that expense. Never really liked the idea of buying brand new wagons, but haven't ruled it out. What do you want for yours?

Thx for the replys guys, the deal is I should end up with a fair sum of cash, but how best to spend it. Want to buy 1 vehicle to suit all needs and the rest on woodland tickets and a new saw, Don't need a chip box, vehicle usage would be in construction(at present my main income) some logs and moving butts, cants and milled timber around. Tipper is probably unnesecary, crane seems more important for loading wagon and a trailer, and assisting in small scale extraction. But again not really necessary. If I go for ranger or the like, I'd need a dropside body on back. The most important is I need 3 seats, which always leads me to a landy, as no need for supercab and losing load space, the more it costs the less I have for woodland. Oh decisions. anybody know of any suitable vehicle for sale, or any more advice greatly recieved. Thx.

Why do you say that la sanglier, wouldn't handle or wouldn't pull?

Thx, never really thought much of the navara,but not sure why? I know im unlikely to find a navara/ranger supercab that tips, but could get a conversion if i saw fit. I have been looking at this Land Rover Defender 130 110 Hiab Drop Side Pick Up. | eBay But i would need a decent lockbox on it, and to hack the back about to make it tip leaving crane and box where they were.Thoughts? Thx James

Hopefully sold my house today so looking at getting a new truck, ideally 3 seater 4wd tipper. Ford ranger supercab seems to fit the bill, but reading other threads on here, i understand they had a gearing/towing problem. Iheard the newer model(2011-present) is ok. Is it correct that a 2011 model would be ok on this front, or should i bite the bullet and get a 130 hiab/tipper. LOl, dont wanna start that argument again! But what sort of payload could you expect from a 130 with crane and tipper? And 1 more. If you buy a 2 seater 130, isit easy to convert to a 3 seater? Thanks Guys James

I got locked in loo when I was 5. WaS well upset and all I remember was my big sis outside singing as loud as she could. Oh dear what can the matter be poor old James is stuck in the lavatory. Didn't help much. Dad broke a small window in the end to get me out then removed key and fitted a privacy handle.

I'll stay out of this one except to say, she was a great lady who bought immense joy to all us. As children we all had a Mr whippy and I can picture yours smiles of joy. Maggie played a large part in the invention of it and I consider this her greatest achievement.

Hi pat, what model no is quad, my bro in law works for Honda, so if we can get part /engine nos he will tell me if available. I work on Honda engines a lot and never struggle with parts. I would say trying to get a manual online should be your first step. Manual for engine not quad.

They don't call it rotten corner for nothing then:)

I always lay minimum 100mm type1 base, and allow 2" bed on average thickness slab, I use coarse sharp sand. We call it washed river grit round here. I point in a mix of soft and leighton sharp(king of sands). I think the only way you can not lay a base is if you lay in minmum 100mm bed. This can makes slabs float when laying next to them and is waste of cement and energy knocking it up. I always lay a solid bed of mortar.
-
Guns are fine and definately not amateur. I use regularly to repoint brickwork but not slabs. Slabs I use semi dry 3:1 sharp2 soft 1 cement 1. Just wet enough to not stain slabs. Type of slabs depends how wet you can get away with. Wetter the better though. I use a coconut brush kept clean, bricklaying trowel and steel jointing iron( homemade from bucket or bin handle). If customer specifies birds beak pointing I use pointing trowel instead of iron. This costs more, and most don't want it. Repointing is 20mm bear minimum depth on slabs. 15mm on brickwork. If you use a gun, keep super clean mortar and have long tent peg to hand to clear blockages.

I think all mineral oil is food grade, has many medical uses. Best try and get a good relationship with your pharmacist, why won't they order for you?
-
Nice boards, here's one of a batch of beech and walnut boards I made. IME baby oil will go rancid on the board, I think the same of olive oil and veg oil too. I stick to tung oil or cheap mineral oil from chemist.
-
Imo easiest way is 1.5-2mm steel. Cut 30mm oversized. Small cut in each corner. Fold all edges over by 15mm by holding on 4x2 and hitting with hammer. 7mmPilot hole through folded edges. Install and drill plug and screw(6mm red plugs) through pilot holes. This needs no angle iron and is neat and simple.
-
Second that, 12mm stud ,13mm holes in wood, 16mm wall plugs in masonry, plenty of gripfill or resin in holes in shelf before sliding it on, simples

Thanks miker. Kinda what I was doing, though as I said mine had only shot 1000 nails max so hadn't really got into the regime. Hopefully should get it swapped with new one today.

Done my good deed and got dragged out truck

We all have stupid law and legislation to abide by these days, keeps all of our hands tied. some police are bad but most are good. im a builder and get fed up with all tv programs and media only ever showing the worst in my industry. Makes the public think were all bad and on the make. For this reason I take everybody at face value. Loads of threads on here moaning at police for doing nothing about stolen vehicles and tools so lets not have a thread moaning about them trying to prevent this. I would write more but im too busy carrying out a risk assessment so i can climb 4 rungs up a ladder tomorrow. James:thumbup: -
so you just give it a blast with compressed air? or do you do anything else to mag? thanks for reply James
-
Miker says in the manual that you need to blow out the magazine daily, is this something you do? Also what nails do you run in yours? Thanks James
-
No tried all sorts, new clips different length, guages, long clip short clip. Full clean, service. Still same, missing loads of nails. More than it fires. Was working good to this point. Sure there is a small malfunction with it. Hopefully second one will be faultless. Thanks for feedback on yours, would you buy another?
-
Stop press, problem with my nailer yesterday, kept firing but no nail coming out, actually nailing about 1 in 3. Contacted company and with a little convincing are sending new one out Monday. Maybe a bad omen, maybe a manufacturing fault, maybe user error, but only fired 1000ish nails so can't see that. Will try one more and if the same will be a dewalt for me. Will keep you all informed.

For £60 i'll have all you got for resale!

A properly installed closed board roof is definitely watertight. Would you say shingles aren't?

Show us a pic of the first one then:)
