Used to cycle through that lot on my way to work, up until last year. Looks better now than it did then.
-
John Lewis-S is a good countryside writer, I like his work. The running hare is on my list but not got round to it yet. (He also wrote some books about soldiers in the World Wars if I remember right - not read them, but I'd expect them to be interesting)
-
I have an ancient Porsche 944. 1986. Ironically, one of the more reliable cars I've owned! Also a looong way from concourse, but pretty and good fun to drive.
-
Just a reminder, I still don't get the little topic summary on mouseover of the topic when looking at today's posts. Would be useful if it can be resurrected? Thanks.

I wouldn't bother with fans or dehumidifier personally, just leave a couple of the windows / doors open so there's some air movement. I've got a polytunnel in a reasonably sunny / breezy spot, and wood I've had in there since April (split smallish, stacked on pallets, mesh windows and south facing door open) should be good for burning this year. In retrospect I should have put some sort of vapour barrier down, but it's still drying well.

what logs have you been chopping today!
sandspider replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
I always feel that I don't have enough, and it's for personal use only! Can never have too many logs... -
Better in the rain I think, I leave conifer outside for a while before splitting and storing under cover to season.

Hitting a parked vehicle and not leaving details
sandspider replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Business Management
Ahh, right. Shame they can't actually award you a fair amount of money for your time and trouble. A moral victory at least. -

Well done. Will you pursue the driver directly for your additional costs? -
Thanks peas. Didn't know that, as I only browse by today's posts. Bum.
-
Hmm. Thanks, but it doesn't happen for me (PC, firefox) and I've waited for 30 seconds or so? Unless the wait time is really long!
-
Would still be useful to get the summary of each thread on mouseover, so not having to click into the thread if it's not relevant / interesting?
-
At least they had the courtesy to bin bag the windows!
-
It could be set by the individual user on the old site, and I chose 30 (I think, whatever the maximum was) as otherwise there's lots of mouse clicking from page to page.
-
Thanks. Understood, and it's your site! Id just say, with this few posts per page it takes a lot of clicking to read any fairly long topic, and it was easier on the old site...
-
Not glitches as such perhaps, but a couple of questions please: Is there a way to change the number of posts displayed per page? it seems to default to a low number of posts per page and I can't find a way to edit it? Also, there doesn't seem to be a "first unread post" button or link once you've opened a topic? I know there's a link to the first unread post from the "latest posts" page - but the link from within individual topics was really useful too... Nice to have it back, well done Steve!

Titan has worked well for me, albeit for light usage, two or three cube a year.
-
I work in the private sector. My work doesn't have any parking, so if I want to park anywhere near work I have to pay. Or I can get public transport.
-
If I try and open any external links from here on my mobile (android, Firefox) a new tab opens but the linked content doesn't, just a blank page with an arbtalk URL... Works on desktop as normal however.

Wholesale kindling clean and biscuit dry
sandspider replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
Interested in a price too please? I'm guessing a pallet is the minimum order quantity? -
1 depends on your height, and how you swing an axe. I find a bit below waist height works for me. 2 - I too use an Fiskars x27. It's good, but I'm not sure it's 4x better than a cheap £12 splitting maul from toolstation - I still use my old maul sometimes. 3 - I use any old hatchet. 4 - Truncator are good but expensive. I use a £25 basic horse from Machinemart if I remember right. Or make something out of wood (kinder to your chain), there are some threads on here about it.

I looked into this for my paddock (grass, bramble, bracken etc.) and decided in the end that battery wasn't up to the task. I went 2 stroke.

Should be a good one to do in a slow cooker...
