Woodworks

I remember something along those lines. Not sure the UK has managed a 4c rise haha

The clear sky's of the first lockdown were amazing with no contrails . Honestly never seen them like that even as a kid.

And we charge £120 for 1 cube of logs

When I have weighed a cube its in the 350kg region

At the beginning of all this I was most worried for my dad. Reckoned the best way to get him through it all this was to get him as fit as possible. He used to do a little walk each day but nothing much. I started going out with him on his walks most days and encouraged him to go little bit further each time. He now does 2-3 miles most days which is not too bad for man in his late 80s. Also got to know him better as we have never really been close. Works been good as everyone wanted charcoal when restrictions were eased and we were encouraged to meet up outside. Then this winter everyone is stuck in so log sales have been nuts. There was and is still is demand for everything local and long may that last. It may have always been there but there is great community spirit with everyone looking out for each other. Asked an old boy down the road if he needed weekly shopping doing and he said "no need as I have had four offers of help" First lockdown was a mountain bikers dream with completely empty roads and moors. Favourite sport of windsurfing requires traveling out of our local area so taken up running again and really enjoying it. Also running with the better half which has been fun All things considered really cant complain

This is looking hopeful 😀

Second the Hailo with adjustable foot. Being able to set it up vertical in seconds on uneven ground saves so much faffing

Still a bit cheaper than logs then and drier

Mines a single cab but the Hilux on ice is not great especially when empty. Rather drive the 2wd family car with winter tyres than the Hilux with ATs on. Deep snow its fine but bare in mind the 4wd on all the pickups is not for continuous road use and should only be used when on a slippery surface.

Broad beans went in a while ago. Looked great until until the easterly blast last week. Now waiting to see how many have survived

Ringshank nails hold OK

Buying from my local dealer to make sure of back up

An MSA 220 is on its way. Hopefully it's the right choice. The Husky is more powerful but maybe more of a saw than is needed for my hedge laying and a lot more dosh.

Think DPFs came in around late 2010

No need for that until May 😀

25 is the new 20 😆

I thought stove thermometers were for putting on the flue just above the stove so an indication of flue temp

Can we have that excellent explanation pinned on the firewood forum?

No expert when it comes to trucks but when I got my 09 Hilux it had done around the 100000 mile mark. Asked if this was a lot of miles on the Hilux owners group and the general consensus was that it was just run in! I hear of more trucks being scraped due to rusted chassis than dead engines

Had a new Isuzu and after some unresolvable problems bought an old Hilux. No regrets

Is it the one with a spacer on the top or one piece? The one piece one is only available from Riko I think

Having seen both how do you see it? Accidental, cheeky or taking the pee?

Normal was/is nuts but easy for us to say living in a beautiful and rural part of the world. For those living and working in a massive urban conurbation the desire to escape would be far higher.

Interesting to hear there might be a legal rout if need be but it's not come to that yet. Just got my dander up last night when we get a rubbish review for logs that were not supplied by us. Much happier now it it's been removed. Rather not mention names at present Mick.

Good luck with that. We have demonstrated that we we are stupid effers from the top down in the UK. Many are happy to let lots die so they can live their lives as they want. Cant see that attitude changing any time soon
