  1. Yep I have noticed that . Not taken any out but they all look sick in my area including 2 that did not leaf this spring .
  2. Wood can be well seasoned and still be wet . Keep it under covered but allow the air to get to it . Moisture meter is a good idea . I have logs that are 8% moisture that have been in the log basket all summer and the same batch out in the log store that read 25% .
  3. It's a black bird drive through , perhaps ?
  4. If it was in your home you are allowed reasonable force to defend " you and yours " I agree get a solicitor and take advice .
  5. I'm sixty in January , the 20th to be precise . Its my back when I first start and it eases during the day . I get whicked cramp in my thighs and hands now in the evening/ night and my jaw aches from gritting my teeth . Ho hum
  6. I would be to Mick if I sat down . Dog to walk daughter to collect from school , sharpen up ,dinner to cook ( have a shower whilst dinner is on ) . Count my blessings , there are far worse off than me I know .
  7. Working with big saws all day yesterday and today ( 395 and 390 ) Big 4 big oaks and 3 bigish field maples . All down chipped and ringed up . Huge bonfire . Now completely knackered . Will be ready ior bed by 9.00 me thinks . up again at 6.00 to do it all again !! Seriously though it does get to me now I am an old git !

  9. If its hoonining down first thing and no chance of it lifting we stop home . If it clears before 10/10.30 we sit tight till then . So its you that's clogging up the work shop at DMs then ! Matt looked a bit under the cosh .
  10. Hi Steve . Yea of course I meant ten million ! DoH !

  14. Why not hit the middle then ---390 . Its like a slightly bigger 372 with almost the power of the 395 ?

    A question...

    ou makes I chuckle sloth !
  16. Come out of the closet ! you know you want to !
  17. Second that . I have 3120,395 and 390 . The 3120 only comes out if absolutely necessary . Its on a 50" bar so hopefully once a year at the most . The opther two I am happy to pick up any time .
  18. I think you keep on learning all the time , so really you continually gain experience . Its all relative . As you say, if you think you can do a good job you probably can so go for it .
  19. imagine being on the motor way in amongst all that lot !
  20. Quickly scanned the article (so not a proper read ) and thought it was more to do with the dangers of pulsed micro waves and Wifi areas . Sounds awful , some of the suffering the bloke was describing . Ironically I have seen a phone mast disguised as a conifer . I presume with plastic bits as in an artificial Christmas tree . It was a bit obvious .
  21. Sorry to hear you have had a visit from those scumbags . I find it very depressing .
  22. I sure it would be 2 flues going into one pot at the stack ?
  23. The electricity board can fit temporary insulation , have seen that done or as stated a short term shut down .
