Been in drought for 5 years or more in places. There hasn’t been a safe time to do that.
-
Folk on a different forum were complaining about the same problem so might be a wider issue.
-
I would advise fixing with bolt and thick washers before using. If it is your only form of heating the risk might be better than freezing to death. Don't use it if you have a damper/flap on your flue.

I’m struggling to work out where the hole is. Is it above where the baffle usually sits and you moved the baffle before you spotted it? if that is the case it looks to me that it is a hole cut for backboiler outlet. I have had stoves where the hole is precut but not quite finished, so that if you were to fit a backboiler you could just pop the blank out. looks like yours has fallen out. If if I am right I wouldn’t use it. Block the hole off again with a big thick washer each side and a bolt through them.

Caterpillar eggs of some sort, probably not specific to apple. Certainly not something I expect to see in my orchards.
-
Well that’s this thread full circle.

I sharpen mine with a diamond feather edge file. Probably takes me about 10-15 minutes and I’d say it was as sharp as new. Id have to be earning over £80 an hour before it was better to buy new. There’s a lot of days that I’d be happy to see £80 for the day never mind an hour!

Had grinding chip in my eye, chose to skip the two nearest A&E and went to the next one with better rep. Signed in, triaged, treated, given prescription and walked to pharmacy at other end of hospital. My truck was in the car park for 65 minutes. Fantastic place! This was 2pm on a Friday. so it can be done.

Renewable John has a thread on here somewhere. I think he sums them up as shite. {sorry)
-
More often than not the only obstruction where the lights are is the fat twat asleep in the Transit pickup that brought the lights in the first place. One of these days I am going to pinch all the lights and see what happens when he wakes.

I had a warning from my IWT triaxle 14’ recently. I was going too fast with a too heavy load of too long electric poles on it. No drama whatsoever but it showed me to be a bit more respectful.
-
Mine was a present to myself for my 50th.
-
I’d say it simply hooks over those side bars and the back just rests on the absent fire bricks at the back which are held in place with that bent bit of metal plus a few more.

the best water proof arborist jacket to date

I’ve had a few of the goretex military leggings, you look a bit Rambo but you do stay dry, even kneeling in water. -
Me too, wouldn’t want to carry it a log way though. I bought it as a plinking gun but I’d say it was way too heavy for that. I don’t regret buying it though. Head shot a magpie at 40 yards with it last week out of my window, belting shot. I would have used the lr but no bullets to hand.

I have one that the frost killed off a few years back, it was -15 though! It grew back from suckers and is as big as ever again. Normal winters might scorch a few of the young shoots off but I’d say it was hardy enough to grow up here. Well North of Watford. I had a well known Kent grower telling me it would be impossible to grow Cox apples this far north and they’d never survive. I’ve got acres of them and have had for 50 years or more. It’s not quite the frozen wasteland it’s made out to be.

I bought a cheap 2” pump off eBay years ago, still going strong. Amazing value really and heard many others say the same.
-
All wood burns just fine when it is dry. There may well be exceptions but it is a very good general rule, cherry is not an exception. Those logs presumably belong to someone else. Another good general rule is ignore any poems about how various woods burn, especially any part that says ash burns well when wet/green.

I’ve had seasoned sycamore so hard the axe won’t go in and sparks fly off it.
-
That’s going to snag the pillows. Nice job, on my “to do” list but with leylandii (pillows will stick to it :D)
-
He worked for me for a bit, I sacked him in the end. Since then I’ve worked for him a bit (without getting sacked)
-
All mine have accessed the engine by lifting the passenger seat, not flipping the cab
-
Been on there since it started and don’t remember that one. Rather surprised to hear it too.
-
If I had to choose just one it would be leylandii Lights easy, burns very hot and sod all ash. Only downside is the sap but 3 years outside before processing and it has gone away.
