  1. I put a metal roof on mine because that's what I had. More sun hits it from the side than above and the wind dries it more than the sun where it is.
  2. Gemma, ? funny name for a "he" Stubby Can you retrofit the heater ? Thermal gloves for arthritis sufferers or electrically heated ones might be an alternative.
  3. Gregory's sawmill in Matlock (nearer Tansley) will have something to do the job. I've been there a few times and they have always sorted me.
  4. Chain your stuff to the tie downs in the back of the van.
  5. There's some over the wall at the bottom of our garden and I sprayed it with glyphosate I think it was in May when it was in leaf starting to grow and it has only just started to show itself again so I am going to give it another dose now as it is about to start feeding the rhizomes for winter.
  6. I have some aluminium, snips and a drill not a big job to copy that I would think.
  7. They need some grit in them to stop them coming undone. If you stop falling out of trees you'll forget how to bounce
  8. It's my opinion that every man, whether he cuts wood or has a fire or not, should own at least one chainsaw. Good luck with your quest.
  9. He would be appearing in a court near me charged with trespass and malicious damage if he'd done it
  10. Grasp it firmly with both hands and pull. Kybosh, now called Kurtail is the stuff for Mare's Tail, ordinary killers don't work as it has a waxy coat and they don't penetrate.
  11. Wear a mask so you don't get to breathe the oil vapour ?
  12. He hasn't been on since 2014, you could try a private message. Try Rye Oil Ltd he might do you a deal on something.

    Commercial IVA is not that strict, no crash test for home build vehicles and it uses Transit FWD drivetrain so emissions should be no problem.
  14. Looks like a 5 year old Leylandii we cut down to let some light in at my mums house years ago.
  15. That makes perfect sense. Cut the wire to the points and join it to the new ignitor, how is that laughable ? The wire to the kill switch stays where it was and earths the same as before. Just make sure the ignitor is well earthed.
  16. They are looking to cut their 13 hour day to a realistic level while not losing money, which is a different thing I think. I would rather be seen by someone who is happy in their work and in full possession of their faculties not worn out and stressed when I go in for my next operation thank you.
  17. Germany motodox has 3.2, 3.5 and 4.5 discs. They are florabest spares distributor for Lidl.
  18. You disconnect the earth/ground lead, usually the negative - on modern kit with an alternator. If there are roller bearings on the thing you are welding connect your welding ground as close as you can to your weld so you don't arc through the bearings.
  19. Are you sure it's not the gear selectors under the top cover ?
  20. That is not Busy Lizzie though it's Himalayan Balsam. It grows and spreads along watercourses everywhere. Chop it off at ground level before it flowers and goes to seed, the seed heads are like little explosives and fire them for yards.
  21. I screwed a piece of 2x1 to the base of mine and clamp it in the vice, handy tool.
  22. So the AA meetings are not Ayrshire Arborists ?
  23. Grandson has a 171 and I assume the OP wants to swap because the original chain goes blunt very quickly on rough wood. It's not a very good firewood chain.
  24. Apples are ready so they will be appearing on our back yard any time now, I have the same opinion as stihlmad. It's ages since I was stung by a bee but I get wasp stings every year.
  25. You could get a pallet courier to pick them up if the seller will cooperate.
