Railway still gets measured in miles, chains and yards from the terminus. how do pubs measures work?

Yes if breeze isn't an issue an argon co2 mix in an owned bottle works better. I have bought a small Argon bottle to try a bit of TIG. £25 deposit and the same again for a fill. No bottle rental

If breeze isn't an issue co2argon is better

This is why we used an 80cc saw and 15" chain at the landing when we ground skidded tree lengths

In effect the council offloads the admin and employment responsibilities but the new firm still uses local contractors to do the work, Carillion is a good example.

I've never tried it as I have only used twin 084s many years ago. Look on it as two people pushing a broken down car, One a big but slow moving man and the other a skinny teenager, the teenager may go faster but as soon as he goes too fast for the man he takes all the load so is forced to slow down.

Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment whereby all the decent staff move on and you have to take on the staff left behind when you take over a contract

I cannot see how thick it is or how much space behind but a firm that does Rivnuts would be able to drill the hole oversize, perhaps ding the exhaust and then insert the rivnut from one side so it grips a bit like an oversize pop rivet but with a thread down the middle.

Has anyone tried painting shuttering ply with epoxy to seal it?

Because Brian is in Tasmania so shipping would be a problem. I note a guy on this forum http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showpost.php?p=108388&postcount=1 8 years ago claimed to have some military manuals

Could you mark any parts on copies of pictures David posted? and which measurement . I'm surprised no one took up the rights from the liquidators, not only did they do the winches but also the cable shorteners, which I have seen used on zip lines.

But if it's large diameter with the bark on it will still rot in the middle all the time the moisture content is above 20% I agree Also I've just checked some red cedar slabwood left out in the rain and it has absorbed a lot, it was down to 20% in the summer

If you can wait a week I'll dive into my old boss's workshop and take some photos.

Is that Robinia?

I only hired or bought chippers from them but agree

More likely higher sugar in the sapwood . This is the same as what I have seen when logs were heated, not dried, and allowed to cool. Whether the heating killed off microbes in the log and allowed fresh spores to develop or the heating stimulated the spores I never did decide. We has a similar thing when we spread some pasteurised food waste on a field, the whole field went furry.

You're right but it looks like clean burn technology reduces the particulates to about a fifth of a simple box stove made over ten years ago. I'm more concerned about a backlash from the general public and these figures seem to be wrong. The trouble is it's hard to get a handle on what level particulate emissions are from a particular stove because the testing method is so eclectic and only a figure in milligrams per cubic metre is given when I want to see a figure per kWh produced or per kg of dry wood burned. Also that headline figure of wood producing 38% of the particulates in the atmosphere is trumped up. Firstly it assumes a background level and takes that from the calculation and then it assumes that which is not produced by diesels is produced from woodfires. This then includes woodsmoke produced throughout the year by bonfires, accidental fires as well as open fires. The stoves Industry Alliance say the real contribution by stoves (which presumably includes all the older stoves in use) is 3%.

I just got sent this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6402031/Wood-burning-stoves-emit-six-times-pollution-diesel-truck.html Which is likely to prompt more concerns about wood burning. There are some glaringly bad examples of false attributions for premature deaths but...

As I said in this instance, there is no reason to believe the tree was worthy of preservation nor if it would be prosecuted and it's a planning matter. The OP is known to the offender and will have to live with them for the foreseeable future .I've not problem with helping the local tree officer out but it's his or the planning department to decide on a public amenity matter. I don't know why the area is a conservation area. Now if it were an obvious loss of public amenity or right then I would fight it (again) and I wasn't popular with 3 neighbours when I objected to their closing a public footpath, in the event I lost because at the time the historic nature of a public right of way was not grounds for objecting, now I believe it is. It's a foolish game as it all depends on context but: Tends to be anonymous and my evidence would not be used unless I had a video As it was my wife's job at the time yes, but I actually do not believe benefit fraud to be a major financial issue compared with the level of other corruption I have witnessed. Not unlawful Yes to above 5

A fuse protects the wiring upstream so it may not need one but a 2A one would suffice.

Now you said that I wish I had done the same

Rubbish in this instance. It's a minor infringement which probably won't get prosecuted so not worth the rancour, we're not talking about a robbery or assault.

True but in this instance the OP is easily traceable and this is a public forum. Having fallen out with neighbours in the past, over a party wall issue, I'd avoid it if possible.

Agreed and especially as moisture leaves more easily from the end faces. Get them split and stacked and under cover from rain with good airflow and they'll start drying but it'll really take off from May. I can dry down to sub 20% in a couple of summer months in Surrey but getting enough airflow is critical.

Good to see you posting again adw
