Not a customer but next door but one neighbour asked if I could help him erect a shed he had ordered from a local wood sales who build to order tongue and groove construction. We laid some blocks to level the floor and set it up then felted the roof and it was a really solid good looking potting shed which cost around £400. Next door bought a shed from a catalogue and her and the bloke put it up, ship lap walls and OSB floor and roof, cost £450 and the roof has sagged, floor is split and there are gaps in the sides with knots falling out and it's not been up a year yet.

I dug mine out with a spade just by undercutting it then I had to cut it in three pieces to be able to lift it into the barrow. There was a lot of dead stuff in the middle and it had all-sorts living in it at one time or another including hedgehogs. It outgrew it's situation or I would have left it there but my wife wanted to grow vegetables so it had to go.

The difference is H and E ? H has heated grips don't know what an E is, probably electric start

I haven't got a toy any more but this was my Locost I built in 2000. Built and SVA in a year from a Haynes book, fabricated in the shed with trusty mig welder.

Maria-warwick has one and was quite happy with it last time she mentioned it.

That OPSA place is about 3/4 mile from here on a trading/industrial estate on Bridge Street and I've never seen it.

My mate had a cherry tree pollarded last year and was chuffed to bits when they let him tidy up with the leaf blower afterwards

I thought it was going to be something exciting from Terrahawks [ame] [/ame]

Even more so when they put it in yours

If you've checked the bar groove hasn't pinched anywhere and the chain is oiling it must be what Stubby is saying, make sure you are lifting the tip of the bar when you tighten the nuts on the side.

It doesn't spread by seeds it is purely vegetative reproduction by sections of rhizome. RHS site describes it here. I have some growing over the wall from me on land belonging to the local Chinese and they are not really interested in it so when it gets close I go over and chop it down but this year I got some Rosate glyphosate from the local allotment and am trying spraying at 20% and injecting neat into the stems of the nearest ones. It seems to weaken them within days.

We used to use the airstream ones in the foundry I worked in and they didn't cool any more than the ambient temperature there is a filter at the back and a further tubular one over the top of your head to direct the air down your face so you don't breathe dust.

You should have chucked some bread in downstream, the swan thought you were going to feed it.

Here's what I thought of straight away
-
Wait till it gets to your friend's property then contact the owner of the infected land and tell them you are going to take legal proceedings. Third party litigation – Landowners can be sued for costs and damages if they fail to prevent knotweed from spreading to a neighbouring property. Also failure to manage and dispose of Japanese knotweed responsibly may lead to prosecution.

It's a juicer

The hole in the tree looks like it has been healing for a good few years so if it is only just showing detrimental effects I doubt it was anything to do with what is happening now.
