Sorry! That should have been, NNE of Newport. Though the rest is correct.

SE Wales, NNW of Newport, between Abergavenny and Caerleon.

I can see the wisdom in this. But as he said, I wouldn't want to bury the bar. Can't see a 181 being happy on 18".

"one site is MEGAVERT Des experts en matériel de parc et jardin depuis 20 ans" Just compared prices for MS241 C-M € to £, with various b+c at current exchange rates. Prices are comparable with best prices in UK but you then have to add delivery. And yes, they do deliver to UK.

You'll need to get a charger, which is actually capable of charging your particular batteries. You may find that the cheaper chargers will be rated for charger batteries for cars up to 1.6L petrol. Working up to 2.0L petrol and onto 2.2L diesel. The greater the battery's CCA rating, (cold cranking amps) the more oomph the charger needs to be capable of feeding.

I can't feel the heat wafting by me from here. Maybe I need to be sat nearer.

Turn off appliance - completely empty - place large bowl of boiling water in base of freezer - place loosely gathered linen hand-towel on floor abutting freezer - clean baskets & trays, dry & wipe over with mild solution of bi-carb and water, then place to one side - use blunt ended wooden spatula, preferably one with slight bend at one end - use serving tray to catch falling frost & ice, emptying as and when into sink or over weeds - remove frost first - as thicker areas start to defrost, loosen the edges of each flat area and ends of each ridged area, as this facilitates sides movement of each individual area - continue to remove frost and ice as it loosens. When fully defrosted, remove bowl if you've not done so already - mop whole compartment with clean cloth to dry - when dry, wipe over whole compartment with mild solution of bi-carb and water. Power-up freezer and refill in orderly manner, taking care to dispose of stuff you'll not consume in a month of Sundays. Notes. While defrosting or cleaning out a freezer/fridge, never use a screwdriver or hammer. If you puncture the appliance's inner skin, it's game over. Better to work slowly and keep your money in the bank.

I see you've got a toolbox strapped on the front. Why not strap bread basket on, then bungee the box in, with the saw/s beside it.

Thems duelling words them.

And appropriately, he's named Richard.

Not so much stuff going down front. It's when the chip is fountaining vertically during the reduction cut, then gravity does its thing and the chips fall down the backside. I see what you mean about bib 'n'braces though.

I don't get sawdust as such. I sometimes get chip though. But only when I'm wading through undergrowth in order to de-limb. I don't wear them in the woods but you could try gaiters. What I get is loads of chip down my trousers tops, when ringing/sectioning oversized logs. There's only so much chip & sawdust, before it gets rather uncomfortable. I know the remedy would be to wear something that covers the waistband. But I'm the kind of person who (a) wears braces and (b) overheats when working, if the temp. is 8°C. So unless it's actually pelting down or snowing, I'll be in a T-shirt.

I like that. Think it looks good with blue, better than in orange+white.

I presume you're filing to the correct angles.

Haven't got a tractor but driving early yesterday, (so no photos) I was passed by 32+ vintage tractors. All makes, models & colours.

Sounds like something Culpeper would have recommended.

No matter the gender, some people who drive can drive well. Then there's some that drive and you wonder how they passed their test. Having multiple prangs, especially spanning a number of years. Suggests an ongoing lack of skill, a lack of much needed spacial awareness and not learning from ones mistakes. I view such drivers, as being more suited to taking the bus. Pranging your own vehicle, while avoiding damage the property of others, is entirely your business. But it's an all to short a step, to damaging the property of others. If then, you continue not to learn from your mistakes, (maybe viewing such things as merely money wasters). Then there's only three options: •Retrain to become a competent driver. •Give up driving and what you save on running costs, repair bills & rising insurance. Can be put to a better use, when you use public transport from A-B-C-A. •Just carry on the way you are. Sooner or later, it's be only a matter of time, before someone gets injured, maybe even killed.

Cloud with slight constant but cold breeze. And managed to line dry two large washes. But then I was pegging out the first at 07:00.

Yep, charcoal won't make someone rich quick. But at present, a lot of branches that would be suitable for charcoal production but nothing else, are either getting stockpiled and slowly rotting or burnt. But finding the time to tend 50gal drums is increasingly difficult. Plus conversion via a retort, can utilise smaller material than would normally worthwhile.

Yes, nice here too. Warm and sunny two days running. Am I going to have to sell my coat?

More interesting info. Than you again!

If you're going to struggle with some stuff, then maybe that's going to be time wasted. And time as they say costs money. Could you no go for the larger saw and buy two bar lengths? What saw is you dealer recommending you buy?

Most appreciated if you could. The info so far has been really good and most helpful. For longer posts, I find it handy, to construct the post in a word processor of some ilk and save the file on a regular basis/every few mins. That way, if it goes honey-shaped, the core of the text done so far is saved and I'll only have lost a small section. When it comes to posting, it's a matter of copy+pasting into the reply box. Note. Don't cut+paste. Because if it goes all honey-shaped before it is sent or even while it is sending. The product of your hard work could still be lost without a trace. So best to copy it; and if the send goes well, you can then delete the original construction. Or else if you think it'll come in useful for future replies, save it. An extra plus, is the construction of text and or accompanying photos, can be carried out off-line. So if you get distracted, your work will be safe and the page won't time-out if your hungry pet/child decides to sponaiously dig up your prized camellia.

Learn to trust your kit. Especially, learn to trust your anchors/top most point at which rope is. And the rope/s themselves - they may look thin at first but modern rope can take some really impressive dynamic loading.

New, as part of the funds be will via grant and the giver specifies new machinery only. On the plus side, they do not specify suppliers. However, for a smaller pot, (unknown at this time) a 2nd secondhand may be required.
