I had a dodgy worm once , was on the can for days .

Having had a couple of Stellas this evening I am going to have to do risk assessment and method statement on how I am going to mitigate any risks that might arise when I eventually get off this sofa ...

I knew it , I fcuking Knew it ! 😁

Yea I understand that , same with pheasants and the Ruddy Duck . Like some villages round here . You could live there for 60 - 70 years but if you were not born there you are an outsider . What I am saying is somewhere down the line things have got to be accepted as native . Who introduced man to this planet ...?

Your on it there Mick . Sorted !

Exactly . How far do you have to go back before something is NOT non native . Take it back to its logical conclusion everything would be " non native " tress animals and eventually man .

How Often Do You Clean Your Glass / What With??
Stubby replied to Witterings's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Yes its easy enough . This time round I bought the " dry " glass cleaners . Bit like a washing up scourging pad . Was quite surprised at how good they are . They come in Burley packaging and are recommended by them . Once you change your glass give them a try . -
Toilet roll middles . Fold one in half length ways and push it into another one stuff the middles with wax from Baby Bell cheese .

Long term storage of ash for firewood - how best to go about it?
Stubby replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Firewood forum
I have a lump of ash that is at least 20 years old and I use it for sharpening up on the back of my truck . It has 2 holes for the stump vice and as you say its like concrete !
-
Its not new . Lots of people use veg oil here . I don't like it myself but hey .
-
I disagree . The calorific value of wood/weight is pretty much the same . So a big old lump of dense Holm oak or Hawthorn will give off more energy than the same size lump of say Spruce but the soft wood splits easier , is usually " gun barrel " strait so always processor friendly so quicker to convert . In fact I would say Larch burns hotter than most hard woods if a little quicker . I mix it with hard wood some times but don't think hard wood is actually " more bang for your buck " when all things are considered . Just me .
-
Why ?
-
Start it up and run it till the point it starts to die and then open the fuel cap . If it picks up again then the vent is blocked .
-
Blocked tank vent ?
-
Oh you won't be short on interest . These big 3 series saws are sought after .
-
-
You will never use it again if you sell it that's for sure . I think for the sake of £ 700 odd you would be mad . Just me .
-
Exactly . Sycamore is THE least labor intensive fire wood going .
-
Its the blank of England on a PC .
-
I love Sycamore . Grows quickly , splits easy peasy , seasons quick ( as long as rain is kept off and air flow allowed ) and burns as well as Ash or Beech . Even burns fine with a bit of mould on it ! 👍
-
Fair play . I would see it as its not eating any bread and when that next big ugly job comes up I won't have to buy another one .
