    45° limbs

    GarethM replied to Aaron R's topic in Climbers talk

    Those neat french trees would predate the village, part of Napoleon and having shade for the troops along roads. Whilst maybe somewhat over romanticised especially in certain parts of france, Napoleon wanted his marching troops under the shade of trees.

    Does the cell structure actually freeze in living trees, as I would assume the tree could reduce the water content and change the freezing point ?. Maybe the freezing pops the cells on felled trees and helps to dry it quicker.

    8kw is only 35A on an average 100A supply, I'd personally be asking for a three phase supply, not a larger supply. Plus not touching batteries with a barge pole, maybe some old lead acid but not any of the new ones. If they won't do 3 phase I'd say hot tub for summer time relaxing 🙂. But obviously fit as large a hot water tank as possible but that's not going to eat much of the unused power.

    Whilst this isn't the best for calibration, I regularly stick the moisture meter into the underside of the wooden chair in the house. Anything other than below 19% and the meter is fit for the bin.

    8-10kw even on 3 phase ?.

    Even I have a 60x45 shed that could have I think something like 25kw. If these companies approached people like myself, there would be 150kw in just 1/4 mile. Offer them a reasonable return with maybe a alternative option of say 10 year you own it we'd all say yes please.

    So we demolished Wylfa which had a capacity of just under 1000 MW 24/7 on a tiny site and they want to keep littering the countryside with these solar panels. I've flown into Manchester, before they even think of doing such things every warehouse and supermarket should be covered 1st!

    France is like 75% nuclear, they're not fussed about renewables as they'll just export more of the electricity they produce to Germany.

    Or atleast use the rail network to move woodchip instead of wood pellets from the USA & Canada.

    What's a rough good price ?.

    Thought they made reed bed filtration illegal after the big freeze a few years back.

    Woodsure don't fine, it's the local council, technically I think it's trading standards. But nobody has as far as I'm aware, similar numbers to dog fouling and smoke control.

    Well if you're buying a splitter on Friday you kinda are jumping into it, especially without a yard etc. If you had the space FOC you can make it work, you'll also need a means of delivery and a long list of other things including insurance.

    I don't live in the city, hence the little use of the other local ones being very underused, maybe 2-3 a day on average.

    Stihl Motomix

    GarethM replied to Jon Cload's topic in Chainsaws

    https://www.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/MSDS/MotoMixMSDS.pdf https://powerequipmentcentre.com/msds/MSDS STIHL MotoMix English 1L and 4L.pdf The USA one says a company, as does the Canadian one, the UK version just says Stihl. I would assume it's made on the same continent as where it's sold for transport reasons.

    Wasn't that Volvo fitted with a Duncan Cab, I'm sure I have recollections they made cabs for Ford, Leyland etc and sold it to Volvo as well.

    You need full planning permission, along with parking area etc. All for an amazing £8-10 an hour on a 10k investment, there are about half a dozen within a 15 minute drive.

    You don't need to buy a domain name, unless you're running a company for example. I've never had any problems with hotmail from the NHS and I've had mine since the 2000s.
  19. GarethM
    I think 1st call would be logging into the old Hotmail account you've used as a backup, they've probably sent a email verification thing.
  20. GarethM
    Just pay a chimney sweep, no certificate = no insurance if you've a chimney fire or something similar happens.
  21. GarethM
    Right, back to the original problem. 1. You're Hotmail isn't downloading in thunderbird?. 2. Is thunderbird updated, check it's version 115.6.0 3. Can you log into hotmail via outlook.com ?
  22. GarethM
    125mb is faster than my super fast fibre, that's around 70mb. Don't be fooled by all this extra speed BS, unless you're 24/7 online gaming and posting cringe to tick tock the basic is fine. They're just upselling you something you don't need at £70
  23. GarethM
    There website said M125 Fibre Broadband is £26.50, that's no TV just broadband.
  24. GarethM
    I had seen them advertised, shame they're not DEFRA exempt as I would have one in a heartbeat.
  25. GarethM
    At £67, you're paying for stuff your obviously not using or refuse to use. Most internet only deals are less than £40, post office include it for £18 on their cheap and slowest product. For reference, sky use yahoo for email.
