Thanks Dan

Thank you good Sir

Thanks Dan, your a Gentleman , but I'm not an Arborist, or work in forestry, (work in Construction, must of been evil in a past life ) just looking to maybe process my own logs, (various reasons ) So looking to see what I can manhandle, judging by daltontrees post, not that much, specially at 62

How much (approx) does a 3m or 3.5m length of 8" and 10" roundwood weigh, Softwood and Hardwood, green/part seasoned. Liftable by one man, or 2? As I said silly question

Farmer goes out to his field one morning only to find all his cows frozen solid. As far as the eye can see are cows, motionless like statues. It had been a cold night but he’d never thought anything like this would happen. The realisation of the situation then dawned on him. With his entire livestock gone how would he make ends meet? How would he feed his wife and kids? How would he pay the mortgage? He sat with his head in his hands trying to come to terms with his impending poverty. Just then an elderly woman walked by. “What’s the matter?” asked the old lady. The farmer gestured toward the frozen cows and explained his predicament to the woman. Without hesitation the old woman smiled and began to rub one of the cow’s noses. After a few seconds the cow began to twitch and was soon back to normal and chewing the cud. One by one the old woman defrosted the cows until the whole field was full of healthy animals. The farmer was delighted and asked the woman what she wanted as a repayment for her deed. She declined his offer and walked off across the field. A passer-by who had witnessed the whole thing approached the farmer. “You know who that was don’t you?” asked the passer-by. “No,” said the farmer. “Thora Hird,” replied the passer-by

I'll second this combo, I work in the Construction industry, (Drywall/shopfitting /suspended ceilings) bought this combo back in 2008/9 the impact is used daily/all day, had some serious abuse, to the point the machines and batteries were getting hot. We have (this year) just had the original batteries die, and the brushes need replacing on the impacts IMHO you will not go wrong with this combo, oh and get the hammer drill version, it's not like the usual whiney stuff, this actually works well

Always rains here that's why we're called the Wet Country:sneaky2:

Just watched this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4TS0TezJWU]TietjenUK babbles on about the Forest Master FM10T Duocut Electric Log Splitter - YouTube[/ame] looks a great little bit of kit for domestic use, and not much money

Never smother/drown/burn them with anything, as they release themselves from their "hosts" they regurgitate their stomach back into the "host" and if they are an infected tick, the host is now infected with Lyme Disease Please read this Q.2 – How do I remove a tick from myself or my pet? A.2 - How you remove a tick is very important as it can help to prevent the transmission of disease-causing organisms or leaving bits of the tick behind, which can cause irritation, infection and scarring. Using methods of freezing, burning, or applying solutions to a tick may cause it to regurgitate (vomit) its saliva or stomach contents. These fluids may contain disease-causing organisms. See our section on ‘Tick Removal‘ for the safest ways to remove an attached tick and for our ‘Myth Busting‘ section.

Get these The O'TOM / TICK TWISTER® to remove ticks: Official Website, they're brilliant. Keep up with the monthly dose of Frontline/Advantix/Spot-on. I went Squirrel bashing in a wood a while back, I had a dozen or more on my trousers, and took 30 odd off the dog, still managed to miss a couple. The O Tom sorted those out Flaming things give me the creeps

My first of the season (3rd of Sept to be exact )
