OMT, sorry I didn't reply to your PM - I've had a manic few days in the rain and hadn't had a chance to get on Arbtalk. I've ended up wearing my Helly Hansen packable rain jacket that I got from MandMDirect, and it's kept me perfectly dry. Not hi-vis, but very waterproof and breathable. I just can't justify spending money at the moment

Biggest problem I have is that I get so much use out of one set that the mating faces get worn and they go slack. Keep them sharp as a knife but once they've gone slack they are crap on anything that is stringy! Looks like I'll be filing the spacers down a bit - I'm sure they've got lots of hours of use left in them

Ahh, the Buckler wellies are a different story - top notch. Years ago I had a pair of Hunters that were ok, but my Mrs got a pair 2 years ago and they split after 3 months of walking, and the buckles rusted. Over-priced rubbish they were and she'll never touch a pair again.

I was strongly advised AGAINST buying these by a farm supplies place. The purchase was going to be for dog walking, and the fella pointed out that the soles on the Buckboots muck boots are crap in the mud and on slopes. Ended up with a pair of Derwent neoprene wellies with really good soles on them. Got them from a fishing supplies place on line.... much cheaper than country stores!

Hi Steve. It's just a QR Code (2D barcode), with my contact info in it. Can be read with a phone. Lots of web sites out there for generating the image files. Can't remember which one I used now. Hope this helps. Pete

Fun! But just because it's not the homeowner doesn't necessarily mean it's a contractor - could be friend or friend of friend of the homeowner.

I find the Stihl Super Harness HORRIBLE to use. It's all wrong for me, no matter how I adjust it, and I find it puts too much weight on my lower back and restricts movement too much. However, my work mate likes it. He's weird though.

I know this might not be the type of look you're after, but the Hankook RF10 ATm tyres are absolutely fantastic in mud and snow and over rocks, and are excellent on the road in wet and dry conditions too. Great tread life as well. Can't fault them - best I've had. See http://megatyre.co.nz/content/2011/03/hankook-rf10-atm-tyre/ -
Legs? Do the inspectors check for signs of disco leg?
-
Yeah but, we've always got the ladders on the truck anyway - they're handy for those times we need to clear out gutters, or for when we're taking on jobs of replacing fascias and soffits, doing some roofing, topping trees, cleaning windows.....
-
Yeah, WHATEVER! I'll send you a fiver if you can provide a vid of yourself getting everything sorted and 8 metres up into the tree in less time that it takes to get a ladder up
-
That is brilliant. What a knob!

Bit more worried about what happens when he realises that Stihl saws are pants
-
Just don't get one like mine - 4.0 Grand Cherokee.... fuel comp seems to think I'm averaging 14.6mpg! I kind of hope they're little US Gallons and great big fat US miles, but I don't think they are!
-
Yep, the impellers on the new Stihls seem to be made of foam! We've got through 3 of the buggers in a year, and them impellers ain't cheap to replace. OK for blowing... but for vacuuming, they suck in a bad way.

They look brilliant they do. I've got a Sankey Wolf army trailer that I use for camping etc, and currently use a canvas cover on it. While ago I bought locks and catches with the intention of making a hard top from alloy planking, but the price of the alloy planking shot up compared with what I paid before so the project got put on hold. These recycled plastic boards look perfect
-
You could look at GRP panels. You can get them companies like www.servicemetals.co.u who we have bought the alloy planks and other parts from. Great company to deal with.
