I have never had dual wheels apart from on a lorry but are they not more prone to slipping on wet grass and/or mud?

I don't have a mortgage of any size on anything.

But yes, it is extravagant and would buy a great deal of heating oil or logs.

Yes, I was agreeing with you.

If you don’t mind me asking, what make is it? Or is it one made by a local fabricator?

I seen they created a bit of ‘waste’ but I’d just use that myself. 

Easton made 12-22

Probably way ott but what the hell

Rustic should sell it

Will think of something but my own log burner is likely to be a good destination for quite a bit.

I think narrow tyre for slopey mud only if there is a hard base beneith the mud . If not then the wider the better as in floatation . 

If there's a firm base under the mud narrow tyres are loads better, on muddy mud neither are great as when they slip the treads fill with mud and you have slicks. 

I have never really experienced any flotation benefit from wider tyres but that is the theory. 

Yes it is but it isn't nice and tidy and uniform. No problem in my house but not so sure it's saleable. 

We'll see. Maybe I can sell it as organic or something. 

I'd say insulated through the roof was best option. 

Sounds like you are as experienced as any already though. Son had "reputable" firm fit insulated through a slate roof and they made a right balls of it. 10 gallons of silicon and it still leaked.  

Getting one delivered this week but I'm laid up in hospital so won't be able to report back for a while. 

As for the slivers/waste, I was told it is up to 10%. Sounded a lot to me but went ahead anyway. 

It is only in recent years I have had a 4x4, prior to that I went several decades with a Cabstar and mud and Snow tyres. I went a lot of places people would call me a liar if I told them.

Got stuck a few times too but have done that in a 4x4 and in a tractor. 4x4 and or off road tyres don't turn things into hovercrafts, a certain amount of experience and knowing what you can do helps as much as the tyres do.

Nice tree.

Just chop it down if you don't like it. You can always plant something else, or not if you don't want to.

I like trees but not near my house and wouldn't expect anyone else to have a tree they didn't like/want just because it was there.

RIP 

Gone but not for cotton

I had cancelled my Christmas as I was due to have an op a few days ago.

Then the nurses went on strike so I reinstated Christmas and had family round for lunch.

Ginormous turkey and all the trimmings and we were all stuffed!

4 generations of the family sat around the table, that was my best present and I hope we are all here again in a years time.

There are a wide variety of modern stoves that have the vent to the fire rather than the room, I think I would take that route if I was fitting a new fire.

May have said this before but my 5kw fire is too much for my living room, you need the doors open and it is a decent sized room.

Had thousands of them in my orchards. I thought they were late arriving this year but they turned up in big numbers eventually.

Not so many around now the weather has warmed up but some still about. They haven't eaten all the apples yet.

Them turning up in the autumn and the swallows turning up in spring really brightens my day.

One of the most bizarre things I have ever seen.

An old waterwheel so encrusted in limescale it looks like it is made of stone.

I have known a few it did the complete opposite for.

One of these on a timer in the footwell timed to come on an hour before you need the truck.

Doesn't have to be on long or at max power.

How is it reproduced if it’s sterile? 

Very easy to propagate from cuttings.

I have quite a bit of it. Some on the floo some standing. It gets logged for firewood ☺️

biggest rings there are 26”. 

I have never understood people stealing off others to celebrate Christmas, always thought it was the opposite to what it should be about.

A good scarifying should sort it.

Error 520: web server returns an unknown error

Error 520 occurs when the origin server returns an empty, unknown, or unexpected response to Cloudflare.

Resolution

Contact your hosting provider or site administrator and request a review of your origin web server error logs for crashes and to check for these common causes:

• Origin web server application crashes
• Cloudflare IPs not allowed at your origin
• Headers exceeding 16 KB (typically due to too many cookies)
• An empty response from the origin web server that lacks an HTTP status code or response body
• Missing response headers or origin web server not returning proper HTTP error responses.
  • upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream is a common error we may notice in our logs. This indicates the origin web server was having issues which caused Cloudflare to generate 520 errors.

If 520 errors continue after contacting your hosting provider or site administrator, provide the following information to Cloudflare Support:

• Full URL(s) of the resource requested when the error occurred
• Cloudflare cf-ray from the 520 error message
• Output from http://www.example.com/cdn-cgi/trace (replace www.example.com with your hostname and domain where the 520 error occurred)
• Two HAR files:
  • one with Cloudflare enabled on your website, and
  • the other with Cloudflare temporarily disabled.
