The standard purple Landrover door comes with a wooden stick for the door stay.

The paint code is there to help you purchase the original colour so you can spray a section only to find out find out how much your vehicle has faded to a different hue of blue.

It's a view across the meadow to our favourite part of the farm, a small circle of trees. We've been told that they were used as a way marker / signpost.... something to do with the Knights Templars (in 1156) & Hospitallers (in 1280 ish).

This is the window from the mezzanine floor....

This one deserves to go into the Arbtalk 'Top Tips' archive!

Without all the cladding on....

Sounds good. Do you have any photos or video of yours? cheers

I predict if the oak posts were dipped or painted with Tuffdip they would last for at least a couple centuries.
-
It's all pretty solid but I need to attach a few horizontal beams to the upright posts....
-
Still loads to do but it's getting there....
-
Makes complete sense to me.

I think we need to be as energy efficient as possible before resorting to generating unescesary power..... then we probably wouldn't need nuclear, etc.
-
Yeah, has worked for us (so far). If our Sitka posts stay rot free for 4 or 5 years I'd say it's good proof that the TuffDip works. But we're only just into year 2 since putting them in the ground.

I'm carrying out important Internet research I'll 'ave you know!! Now that I know what size nail to use I'm now looking at a wide range of hammers.....

Does an £800 flea bay used kitchen complete with all appliances look like this? Um.... definitely not! And most of it is still clogging up the living room.
-
That's looks great - and a great unfussy design/ but high quality. I'd be proud of that.
-
I've heard that argument before with bitumen based products but I haven't seen any evidence of rotting or snapping off. Do you have photos of this? Our posts were full of moisture before we applied Tuffdip to the bottom.... and now the posts are very dry. Presumably the moisture has wicked up the post.
-
Yes. We're testing it on the posts for our dead hedge, which is 250m. The posts are Sitka Spruce and usually have a very short lifespan/ especially where they are in contact with moisture/ just above ground level. We put the posts in a year ago so it's too early to say how well they do, or don't. All the posts are very solid so far. It's easy to apply and is safe. I'm quite impressed with it, and will use it again.

Scurrilous smear pieces?.... or just the fact that the Environment Agency has serious conflicts of interest. Environment Agency investing pension fund in industries it regulates is 'clear conflict of interest' - Green Living - Environment - The Independent

That's great thankyou Also tallies with what others are saying. I'll be using 75mm nails.... annular ring ones so they should also resist pull out.

Everything is bigger in the USA mate.

That's the most technical explanation yet! One Gold Star to you Sir. *

Thanks everyone. Now I have some decent answers. p.s.... finished my curry - hitting the red wine.

I spotted the clue in the name, 'Slack Bladder'.

The problem is at the top mate.... and I'm not saying it's corruption. Nooo, I would never suggest a thing like that.
