Hope someone might have some bright ideas. My oiler on my processor has stoped working and I have found the fault but fixing it looks so easy in a diagram but the reality is access is a nightmare. In the picture attached the M8 nut needs tightening but the bolt is in a slot to allow adjustment of how much presure the roller exerts on the pipe and in turn to adjust how much oil gets pushed through the pipe. Now this would be OK if access was easy but it's all I can do just to get 2 spanners in there at the same time let alone the subtleties of adjusting it's position while tightening. Hoping someone has found a good way to do this as I am at my wits end this evening. I have pinged an email to Riko but need to get this sorted ASAP. Thanks

Yes they do look very low. I do kitchen fitting on sites and I am sure the pay others are on is better than posted by Bob but not sure they are on quite as much as £200 (I know I am not). I would take the working conditions of tree work over site work any day though. You end up with trades people often in conflict with each other over space to work, it can be horrid and way more stressful than I have experienced with tree work in open fresh air.

We do use some of the waste on the garden. Cant say it makes much difference to the growing but I guess it locks up a few kg of carbon. Looking at my footprint we would need to make one helava lot of charcoal. This year instead of burning the waste brash from our hedgerow work we are going to chip and leave it to rot which should delay carbon release for a bit.

Hi Craig. Bare in mind the crate of an IBC holds just over a cube you should be looking at around 350kg -360kg plus the weight of the crate (25kg?) Wet you are looking at close to half a tonne Edit found my original test

A few of my friends have gone along to a local strike. I think they fully understand where we are and have already looked in the mirror. I would support higher taxes on fossil fuels in fact tax them to the hilt and ring fence the money for wind turbines, PV, storage etc. It's mad world when the most decadent form of travel ie flying carries no fuel duty at all. Just make sure there is a safety net for those literally unable to pay and stay warm. We will have to live a more frugal life but it could be a better one. -
Quite a lot of interesting articles on the BBC news page at the moment arounds the subject Energy - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK BBC News - Energy

But where do you draw the line as to how overloaded is "safe" 10% 20% 100% over?
-
I would love to think there was another way but I think you are right. Only need to look at this thread to see most would rather bury their heads in the sand or cling on to well peddled lies than make any major changes. We will make changes but it looks like we will be waiting until they are forced onto us by circumstance and that is going to be ugly.

We have 90 pages of people displaying overloaded trucks and trailers in a thread called Overloaded so how come only Jwoodgardenmainte gets lambasted for it?

Doesn't matter if they are already dry. One of my customers stockpiles loads in her garage but they keep perfectly in there.

Stack with space for air to circulate all around. Pallets on the floor, slats at the sides and stacked off the wall as you have mentioned. Overhanging roof to keep the rain off.

Come on Rob nail your colours to the mast as other have. Are you going to hide behind " not saying he is right, not saying he is wrong" and then share this vid?
-
Not that I think we will chose to do it but do think there is a way to get from our current insane system to a sustainable one?
-
Much more comfortable to have an opinion that requires no change than to look at the science and see that we need to turn our lives upside down to stop what is happening.

Did you look at the graph in the video I posted further back about previous warming? If so do you think the spike at the end is natural? Got any links to the MetOffice saying we were heading into a mini ice age in 2009/10 and 2010/11? Sounds like bunkum from a tabloid. There was talk of a mini ice age in the 70s and I think that was due to the suns cycle. I have found this The 'imminent mini ice age' myth is back, and it's still wrong | Dana Nuccitelli | Environment | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Dana Nuccitelli: We can’t accurately predict solar activity, and a quiet solar cycle would have a small impact on Earth’s climate... And a bit of info about waste heat. It does warm us a bit but only a fraction by comparison with the greenhouse effect https://skepticalscience.com/Waste-heat-vs-greenhouse-warming.html

This is the only utilitarian truck that I know of on the horizon and it electric! BOLLINGER B1 - BOLLINGER MOTORS BOLLINGERMOTORS.COM We are making the world's first electric trucks at Bollinger Motors. Check out the B1 Sport Utility Vehicle and reserve...

If we are brilliant how come we have denuded our soils, polluted our seas, poisoned our rivers, murdered countless other humans, changed our whole atmosphere, treat our elderly less well than our animals etc etc etc. Yes we made rockets to take man into space but not sure that outweighs all the dumb ass stuff we have and continue to do. Even the main aim of rockets these days is to eventually inhabit another planet as we too stupid to look after this one.

Hi and welcome. Yes I fold the sheet over and get some logs or chip on the fold. This stops it pulling out from under the load. First time I used it was on an uphill drive and pulled the sheet out with only about a 1/4 of the logs coming out! My truck came with a non-slip spray coating on the bed. Regular bed liners would work fine IME but this is an old truck and I could not find one so I bought a sheet of HDPE. Think that stands for High Density Polyethylene. Its brilliant stuff being as tough as old boots and super slippy. Just be careful standing in the tub on icy mornings ?

The latter

It's not a problem here but we dont see as much sun as Mick. Upside to roof-lights is they are ideally placed for letting rising heat out presuming they are of the opening variety.

Twigs are no problem but never tried it with leaves as most of the wood I use we cut from our hedges in the winter. You can see the twigs in this little vid. The wood for this was made with our old branch logger that had a smaller cutting capacity.
