Much the same here so we moved on to a prepay plan but as we have got older the cost has escalated to £45/month each. Things like crowns are extras. The thing is dentistry has got so much better and the new fillings seem to last much longer plus being more aware of dental hygiene and sugary acid foods should mean younger generations need less intervention.

As a fellow misogynist I agree

Central Heating Stoves

You are right; weight for weight at the same moisture content conifer is slightly higher calories but about 1.5 times bulkier -

.I need a +1 or agree button, I don't burn quite as much but the house is only 77 m2 floor space and in a warmer bit of the kingdom. -
There's the rub, California forced all vehicle manufacturers to comply with on board diagnostics so anyone could buy a reader and get the basic faults out, it didn't spread to industrial engines. Similarly I have several thousands of pounds worth of kit that needs firmware and security updates, I log on and download them online without having to go to a dealer to pay and get them. You are running a restrictive practice.

Yeah I wouldn't countenance paying for that once out of warranty. Apart from the weight issue why not put something like a LPG engine in, liquid cooled but long lived in forklift trucks and the toyota 4y puts out 44hp

How often do you need to use an 90cc saw other than for ringing up when ergonomics hardly come in to it? My experience with big saws is that post felling you seldom used then as a 60cc was easier to carry about for knotting up.

I agree but the local dealers do not seem to carry as much stock, especially not spare parts, as they once did. There is probably too much range of saws and accessories to do so compared with 40 years ago when all my shopping was with Honey or Richmond and I would travel to get stuff. Whereas parts arrive from L&S within 3 days, which is faster than local stores get stuff from the warehouse for you to collect. My only issue is with sites where you have to start the payment, filling in name and address before you get to see the delivery cost. PS do the order fulfillment firm also store the selling firm's stock (i.e. warehousing) as well as process, package and dispatch the goods? and

I'm no fan of TPOs but in this instance I agree with him.

Apart from building in a breakaway one could modify the reel by adding a pair of copper plates (an aluminium reel would work also but less effective) and adding a number of small magnets to the static case. The eddy currents generated would control the rate of descent if the saw were dropped.

It changed in recent decades for England that any shared sewers serving two or more properties became the drainage companies' responsibility previously it was the property owners' joint responsibility.. I am not sure how it applies to multi occupancy buildings.
-
In England if it is a shared foul sewer it is the responsibility of the drainage company and too true about eucalyptus.

Strangely my nearest Stihl dealer has stopped stocking the Ultra. I have been given a bottle of Castrol power1, it is rated jaso FD so should be good enough. It is also red which I find far easier to see when pouring mix than the green/blue, it is a reassurance that I have the right stuff when filling. Generally I keep mix in red containers and neat in green but mistakes happen.

Yup, me too, present most days

I have the aldi ferrex version, cost 20 quid and I already had the battery and charger from my cheap drill and grinder. With the football inflator nozzle it is okay for air filters and basic blowing crud off a saw in the field. A bit pedestrian as the nozzle-airflow combination limits it to 11psi in use (it maxes out at 36psi anyway) and I only use it a minute or so at a time. It does car and bike tyres but I wouldn't attempt it on a tractor tyre.

I started out in establishment in 1974 and gradually did a bit of arb and harvesting. From October 87 I was almost exclusively harvesting on my own account till 2009 when I moved to railway and yard work for a firm, I have been retired now 7 years but occasionally help out on small woodland work. A 6 hour day nearly finishes me off now, felling diseased ash.

Fascinating, we don't have much hilly ground here though I did work with a skyline in South Wales. I have only seen videos of machines being lowered down steep slopes by a remote controlled winch. Costs must be horrendous. PS is there then a secondary extraction to where a lorry can get?
-
Please would you explain the working method here? It looks like the trees have been machine processed and the forwarder then descends on the brash mat extracting a single bay of produce. What is the produce, all pulp? as there doesn't seem to be an assortment.

Found in the potting shed at SY?

Big place, how big a bar? I have a Jonsered 920 with 22" bar which I repaired and the lady didn't want back, seems to run okay but a beast to start and I'm sometimes down to Petersfield Not sure of the bar mounts but have an unused husky 25" 501-60-31-01 bar that should fit. I may even have an old chain.

He's cut my reading time here by 80%, not sure whether that's good or bad.

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Just a follow up; The dead one, riddled with holes fell across the path, I wish I had taken a photo of the tree back then for context. The remains of the fruiting body from a year ago are centre bottom of the picture -
More likely spruce regen removal as non native on a Caledonian site but am interested in the real answer
