Thanks, Mouse was done by a mix of carving chisels and the Dremel with a Sabre Burr.

Found this at work today, what do you think it looks like?

Head down arms behind back, on knees. Waiting!

I run two for the wet, the older being an Ariens 21 " mulch n collect, awesome for cutting n collecting especially wet leaves, other is the newer Weibeng 21",again a 3 in 1 but superb in the wet for cut n collect.

i wouldn't want to meet a mouse that has feet like those prints...

 

 

they look like bear tracks:laugh1:

 

 

nice work...

Thanks, they are Gruffalo tracks!

Haha brilliant !, such a simple thing. Was it a spur of the moment thing or was it planned.

Haha yup you guessed it, spur of the moment:001_smile:

That's great, my kids would love it!

Thanks, made it for Mrs Mac who's a reception teacher.

final stages

Here's the work in progress

Made this from a broken pine limb

thanks all.

gardenmac - top website that. Cheaper than Jonsie! Made my order as I've got the saw attachment already and a few other heads for the smaller hand tool range. Not worried about using it off the ground as I don't climb )

Glad to be of help, I use mostly Wolf for gardening. Hope you ordered the rope tie as they are really handy at stopping the cord getting snagged up. I have two on the 4m pole and then simply swap em if using shorter pole. Enjoy.

Been using the pro loppers n pruning saw for three years now and they have been superb, still sharp n cut through hefty branches no probs. Use mine on a 4m pole. Bought them from World of Wolf web site, cheaper than the Wolf Garten site and often has offers on loppers and pole or saw n pole.

Used my ms150 rear handle with 12" bar to clear very dense 20-30 ft rhodies awhile back. Job made easy by the 150 light n manoeuvrable in tight spots. Great for snedding up too.

Concrete and patio cleaner from home n bargain £3.99 for 5 litres. Pour a capful on n leave it to do its magic.

for mossie and cleg bites,press a hot teaspoon onto the bite, the heat kills the protein that causes the itching, not that hot it burns you mind

Yup tried this and it also works. .The Toothpaste cures the itch and dries out the bite.

Two things I use are a snow shovel n large plastic grass rake for picking up. If the client doesn't want to pay to dispose and if it will fit in the green bin I use the mulch mower to reduce the cuttings down to nowt to fit in the bin.

Tarps are a time saver.

Well it's worked to a degree. Certainly less itchy:thumbup1:

Put more on n leave it

I realise you guys all use Avon So Soft to prevent insect bites. (Mine's on order from Amazon).

I'm a person who would get bitten in the Artic and that's why I ve been trying different cures to the bites other than chem based stuff.

things that worked for me short term on preventing the itch was The inside of the Banana skin, making a cross on the bite by pressing the finger nail into the bite.

But by far the best result for anti itching has been...... Toothpaste yup Toothpaste

That's had Botox.

Looks like a Great Crested, so be very careful as you need a licence signed in triplicate to even breathe in their space.

Good on ya, I hope Bella brings you as much joy as our dog who we rescued and is now king o the house, or so he thinks.

Had a similar late night vist myself a while back -

 

 

Followed by this a few days later -

 

 

It was an elephant moth I found out and they get to quite a size.

Elephant Hawk moth feeds on Rosebay Willowherb, awesome creature.

Newt, bud.

Sounds like a plan mate - anyone want to hire us a tirfor for the day....?

Simon

HSS hire shops have tirfor winch available for hire. Up here on Leeds Lpool canal at back of house they have two barges one with mini digger, other has a jcb and big winch. The thinking being if they have that kit here hopefully they will have it near to where you are working. Good luck and enjoy the challenge, I'm sure you will crack it.

Order a mini skip? It's not a fell wouldn't even touch the sides of there green bin

That's making the assumption that the green bin is empty:thumbup:
