Beech does keep a lot of it's dead leaves till the new shoots force them to drop. We used to have a lot of them on old schools when I worked on gardens and I liked them much more than Privet which would be an alternative here or Hawthorn which made a good dense hedge if planted properly but a bit too painful for my liking.

254 used to be the saw to have, like the 550 of it's day I believe. If a 14" bar is big enough for your needs why change ? Run it till you need something bigger then either get a bar or sell the saw as you should get back what you paid if it's still running.

Years ago at a builders salvage yard near here the owner and his brothers caught a local toerag stealing the lead flashing they saved for beer money. They took him to a local railway bridge and hung him over by the ankles till a train came, he was not hurt but they were caught by the police and sentenced for kidnapping and some other offence and they too received "suspended" sentences and a stiff fine but they said it was worth it.

The Lidl Florabest long reach hedge trimmer

Do you think we'll ever hear from him again or has it eaten him ? -
Some bed socks would be nice. There's a developing Ash tree a few gardens up from us, another one was removed about 10 years ago and it took 2 blokes 3 days to get rid of it. It was massive and awkward to get at and we are getting seedlings from the new one now. They root in 30 seconds and grow to 4 foot overnight usually in the base of the wall so you can't get them out. Ash trees are nice out in the countryside but in an urban setting they are a pain.

Too right mate, what's the point posting if people are going to disagree or even laugh irreverently. How do we know when someone hasn't bothered to post, telepathy ?

They'd be straight on the disability, don't encourage them.

Irony is American for "something made of iron" Sarcasm's what they buried Tutankhamen in isn't it ?

I richened the L screw up which slows the tick over a bit and then speeded the tick over up and it's good now. I have heard a few say the 135 is hard to start and mine was a bit hit or miss till I adjusted it.

I bought a Husqvarna 135 before I started reading arbtalk and I don't have any problems starting it. I bought a splined driver and adjusted the carburetor after it has between run for a while and had no problem starting from cold or when hot. For under £200 I am pleased with it but if I had been on here before I bought it I would probably have spent more and got something I didn't really need just to cut firewood. I have since repaired my old Dynamac so could probably say I didn't really need to buy the husky but what fun would that have been . Buy something you can afford and get on with the job.

Cheapest I can find the Dolmar is £288 from German eBay. Put a link up to the £260 deal if you can find it. It's nearer £400 most places in UK. £334 +£15 delivery [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dolmar-PS-420-SC-33cm-325/dp/B002WSAZ4Y]Dolmar PS-420 SC 33cm .325": Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vKwUPTjDL.@@AMEPARAM@@41vKwUPTjDL[/ame].

Could climbing trees help boost your brain power?
peatff replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
My point exactly -
Our local insurance broker has a similar number to ours just one digit different and we often get calls for them. I could have sold no end of insurance. My favourite is when they ask for a quote before I get chance to tell them they have a wrong number, I always give them Hamlet's soliloquy or Richard III

I have a problem with right shoulder and bought a 4 ton splitter and it works alright but it's not fantastic. I cut big lumps with the saw and use wedges and a lump hammer for tough bits the splitter can't manage.

How do you know ? You could have been really really fick if you hadn't climbed But could that be the reason they were intelligent ? -
Offer him the money for the equipment and make your own name and website. Has he any documented enquiries evidence, out of 2 or 3 a day you might still not get any follow up and if he has not replied to any of them they will be wary if any correspondence turns up out of the blue, I would anyway. Is he as lax with the other two businesses ?

Why would it need Lead replacement ? Four strokes need it to stop valve recession but two strokes don't have that problem. Lightning was 106cc wasn't it and the super 137cc ?

Could this woodland wasp sting death prevented?
peatff replied to tree-fancier123's topic in General chat
It was recorded as accidental death but the wasps meant to do it so it should be murder. I hate the things and have a phobia about them and avoid instances by keeping well away or killing them on sight. I know they are just doing what is natural for them but it doesn't help. I have been stung quite a few times and don't suffer any extreme reaction and feel sorry for the family who have to deal with this tragic loss when he should have been enjoying his holiday. -
I can't understand that either, so much easier to use than Bumtree or Preloathed
