I too agree about Dysons (and the ball barrow was pants), I have "repaired " lots that have been discarded because the filters need cleaning, The thing is cyclone tubes actually consume a lot of the air power, so my choice is a Henry with a Hepa filter bag, including when sweeping the chimney. The Dysons even have a warning on them not to use with fine dust and cleaning impacted plaster dust or soot out of the cyclones takes ages. The Hepa filter bag just fills up without much loss of suction, lets no loose dust out when it is emptied and the bags cost peanuts. Dysons are for homes that don't need much cleaning but the air passages are too small for bits of bark and chainsaw flakes. I do keep a Vax upright for getting dog hairs out of the carpet though a Dyson air powered rotating thingy does work with the Henry once the "heavy" debris has been vaxed off.

Not murder but arboricide

Exactly the case against new motorways or hs2, they simply promote excess journeys to no great economic benefit.
-
No not the same but it must have been widespread because I came across a RHS trained guy using it in the 9os

Same boss that taught me? He would be about 92 now if still alive.

We used to make the last cut 1" thick, run round the cambium with a groove, pack it with ammonium sulfamate and then nail the cover piece back on, it looks a bit more natural. Mind I agree with Paul, ecoplugs about now prior to felling and leaf fall may be more effective, much as I dislike them.

That is one of the original Stihl carbs, the non oem replacement is in the link
-
I had lots of trouble with mine and was ready to give up after stripping the carb and replacing the diaphragm, gaskets and needle valve. It still played up and a new Stihl carb was £90 but I saw L&S offered an aftermarket one for less than the price of the carb kit, fitted it and it worked fine till I stripped the gears in the head.

That's my thoughts too but ships seem to have a 30+ year lifetime as do some commercial airplanes, I wonder how long modern multi megawatt wind turbines will remain in service.
-
Oh one with solenoid controlled fueling, too modern for me.
-
Yes it looks like it has run over hot and that is normally due to an excess of air to fuel.
-
Nor me but I'd say that was running weak

It is actually practical for a home owner to do this now, using a battery to actually profit from off peak charging and sending it out at peak. It's a form of arbitrage where the buying in price is a quarter of the selling price but separated by 12 hours.

No because the heat is solar heat (plus a small amount of geothermal heat escaping from the core) that has been gained in the first few metres of soil during the summer and would have radiated away in winter. The pump just moves it into the house where it also is lost from and radiated to space.

I think this is probably youtube misinformation. China had some car short term hire schemes, like boris bikes and electric hire scooters, that failed. The firms became bankrupt and the cars are stored in fields.

Mine was a Husqvarna when I did just that on a twin stemmed macrocarpa

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

It is, the broad arrow. Nice find

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 -
Central Heating Stoves

.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
