    Does he drag the brash across the road and set it on fire ?

    I wouldn't try to go higher with the dry stone wall, gravity is a cruel mistress and you will be forever replacing bits.

    Is he any relation to Officer Crabtree ?

    You still have your location as New Zealand. Someone could cut them down and hem the bottoms for you without too much trouble if the swap doesn't go through.

    You should explain that it's also a halogen lamp as well as a stihl saw Jon.

    It looks like some goat willow I cut up a while back. Also known as Sallow, Salix Caprea according to google.

    I thought straight away leave the saws and chipper at home and they probably won't ask

    It really is horrible stuff if you get the sap on you, we had some near us years ago and it looks like big cow parsley which we used to call kek and we made whistles out of the stems but if you got hogweed sap in your mouth it could be very nasty.

    My mate reckons I look like Bradley Wiggins. Till I get on a bike

    I have a pair of old pliers with a groove cut near the tip on both jaws which works for the compression type clips.

    You can apply for interim planning permission on it even though it doesn't belong to you to see if the council will allow it to be developed. A friend of mine recently found a small local plot which he wanted to build on and it went up for auction when the owner realised there was interest in it He thought it would be worth £10,000. He went to the auction with this in mind and it went for £35,000.

    I can understand the Rhododendron but how can a tree that has been there 300 years be classed as non native ? The dead patches do detract from the general appearance of the area, was it just an economic based decision, cheaper to kill them than cut them down ?

    Are you prepared for the cost of the wood, they can be valuable those Walnut trees.

    This is what to say, it's alright because little girls say it I've seen it. Loved the expression of disappointment on your face it's classic but sorry about the camera. [ame] [/ame]

    It's all user error I think. The back handle fell off, well it's your fault as you bought the piece of junk and used it.

    Work it Kimmie ! Keep it out of the cabbages. If I stood dishing the instructions out to my missus I know where the tiller would be

    Electric start, remote control drone mounted so you can fly it from the ground.

    I reckon I can see Yorick in there.

    It's not just the tank breather blocked ? Does it leak fuel when it's not in use how does the pressure get into the tank ?

    I thought the idea of autotune was they set themselves up ? They calibrate themselves to the conditions don't they ?

    Leave your chainsaw at home then

    I have a Birch tree in the garden and there are always Goldfinches in it at some point during the day. They also like teasels when they are dried out and brown so I encourage a few of those to grow as well.

    A friend of mine who I went to school and worked with for many years had prostate cancer and was not early enough with a diagnosis. He died a couple of years ago at 62 as it had spread through his lymphatic system. Good to hear you were caught early and hope you stay clear. I'm the same age and have had bladder cancer operated on twice and was on 6 monthly then annual check up but now down to 2 year intervals as I have been clear for 5 years. Again good luck with your recovery and best wishes for the future.

    You do know that's not a real thing don't you ? He went up fully prepared with a chute to get him back down, just didn't come down in exactly the predicted spot. I'd say he achieved 80% of his original objective unscathed so all in a good result. It's looking like thunder out so I'm just going to get my kite ready to fly, what's the feed in tariff nowadays as I see free electricity coming my way.

    There's a stop screw on the top of the machine that adjusts to stop the cutter from coming down too far. Mine has a red screw top and locking nut. This video shows it but he doesn't mention adjusting it. You set the chain movement with the hinge piece that stops it moving too far then clamp it so you get all the teeth the same length.
