  1. Some of the online personalities I follow suspect fowl play..   been a couple of churches burned down of late in France as well as other desecration's..  if I'm not mistaken the area around Notre Dame has a heavy Muslim presence...   
     
    I'll await the the results of any investigation before I pass judgement mind....  
     



    I’ve heard that said tonight as well but can’t see any truth in it as it would be plastered all over the net with whoever taking responsibility for it. These things happen it doesn’t take much to start a fire with all the building work going on. Could just ya rouge spark from grinding or the plumbers torch its been known before
  2. cool thanks for all the replies, i will check out those forums, although as i suspected there is a fair bit of knowledge on here,  really exited about the project as have been waiting a good while for it to come together.
    i hope it wont need to much work, but id say as i start to poke about it will escalate, 
    watched enough grand designs to realize that i am not going to put a time frame on it or a budget!!
    we will be in by christmas...just not sure which one! 
    thanks carl

    I would seriously think about a budget as we did the same as what your thinking and it’s nearly crippled me and the house is still not finished. Hence why I’m going offshore next month to earn good money and carry on with the trees in the time I’m home

  3. Sad to see this sort of thing. 
    Saying that, if it wasn’t the other end of the country I’d have a few bids at work benches/racking etc, some decent lots there.
    Don’t forget to add 18% commission then 20% vat then the cost of collecting from Tavistock before getting too excited about any perceived bargains... 



    That doesn’t make it look like a cheap deal when you add on another 38% [emoji44] it’s the same up here when you go to a sale people get caught up in the bidding and pay silly money for things. Trailers are making nearly new prices
  4. I think someone told me you can use 3 way crabs for irata but screw gates are cheaper. What will you be doing on the ropes? Good luck with the course.



    Cheers [emoji106] just helping out on a diving job so hopefully get a few trips out of it and fill the diary up when it’s quiet
  5. Yeah I've done level 1 it's fairly simple, I had to keep reminding myself to screw the carabiners shut (too used to 3 way ones) . Yeah big difference between doing the course inside a nice dry clean building and the real world out on site! Where you doing it?



    Start Monday hopefully the course is at survivex then got the offshore survival the following week and hopefully away early/mid April. Seems strange how you use screw gates but the ASAP is a 3 way crab[emoji848]
  6. Not sure on the best section to post this in. Has anyone done there level 1 and got any good helpful advice? I’m potentially starting the course on Monday I’ve done the usual and watched YouTube. But always better to speak to people who have actually done the course. Cheers

  7. Left school at 16 and cleaned Petrol stations and window cleaning for a year Then joined the army as a royal engineer. Did my 7 month basic training then my combat engineering then moved onto my trade training at Chatham. Joined my regiment and got trained in bomb disposal went to cypress and Kosovo then got caught on my bike with no license so got grassed in by an officer so decided to leave. Moved back home to Aberdeen as had bought a house and worked as a self employed joiner till the recession hit and re trained and got my cs30/31 and spent a fortune on tools ever since

  8. We did a pair of sycamore removals a year or two back, between the garden we were in there was a lane and then the neighbour's garden back of a large terraced house. In neighbours garden  I could see astroturfed golf hole surrounded by plastic grass,cue wind and rain in the right direction. I asked lad I was working for do you want me to stop,answer NO from him and customer. Result was plastic turf man spending 2 days hoovering his lawn.
    I tried not to smile too much, you may have guessed  i hate platic grass


    Was even funnier when we went back to finish it off the job and the same happened again [emoji50]
