Will sinking tonnes of wood into the ocean help tackle climate change? WWW.NEWSCIENTIST.COM Running Tide, a carbon-removal company in the US, has sunk more than 10,000 tonnes of waste wood into the...

The 1st stage of burning hawthorn is the swearing and sharpening your saw after finding the wire and staples. Invariably swear at yourself because you vaguely remember fixing that stock fencing as a child!.
-
So you're not into grinder, but prefer prefer poo on chest and hand it around publications. That's some high brow kink there!.

Environmental impact of woodburning
GarethM replied to Smurnov's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Plus isn't it effectively sequestered co2, burning it effectively releases the same as if composted, minus any actual benefit of gaining useful heating for us ?. -
Environmental impact of woodburning
GarethM replied to Smurnov's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Of course it's entirely sustainable. The arb industry chops down trees and they expect it not to be burnt ?. So what do you propose to do with the timber, woodchip and green waste then ?. -
Environmental impact of woodburning
GarethM replied to Smurnov's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
The real question is what alternative do they suggest ?. Everything has an impact both good and bad, if the human race died out tomorrow nature would take over and starve itself to death from lack of co2. -
Thanks for shouting, erm it's an EU directive. They are all able to be bypassed, but you obviously leave yourself open to problems if someone else uses it and has an accident.

Daft question, If it's for the railway or electric pylon types wouldn't they want a frame that's GRP instead of aluminium?.
-
Salvage whatever you can for next year, but expect lots of wood wasps and other creatures.
-
Can't remember the solid fuel regs, but cowls for solid fuel can't have mesh. You can fit a bird guard but nothing fine enough to stop a moth.
-
Didn't they wish them good luck in English in the great escape ?.
-
Bitte Ihre Papiere So everyone has to suffer because some oik wasn't brought up to use common sense before getting behind the wheel of a car!.

That is pretty much a definition of a nanny state, we the government can't trust you to behave by our rules so we make it mandatory for everyone!. You'll probably be wanting as a temporary thing before we forced to be on foot, to have alcohol sensors and scan your driving licence before the key starts. My old boss argued that driver airbags actually increased speeding, when you think about it, it makes sense.
-
What a nanny state world you wish to inhabit. Next you'll be saying nobody should have a driver's license as technology can do it for you, next it'll be only no cars. Other than traffic volume, nothing has changed since our childhoods.
-
That's my converted single handed splitter. It's probably actually safer as it's one person running & splitting Vs needing two people to run it productively.
-
I hear that's a completely different type of timber arisings

I'll try to remember to take a picture when I'm next in the shed, can't remember if I bought the new handle on eBay or had one on the scrap pile. Kontak Valve Block Replacement Handle Set WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Kontak Valve Block Replacement Handle... Think it was one of these.

You remove everything down to the valve block and fit a standard hydraulic lever.
-
Can't you curve a section of drain pipe instead of the adjustable nozzle ?.
-
Can we make it a punishment for JSO protestors, they have to walk with a red flag and in the other hand ring a bell and shout make way for my horseless carriage?.
-
That might actually speed up traffic flow in some places!.
-
That's very true, I did keep it short to highlight the stupidity of the idea of 20mph. Having lived in Newport for a few years I would hazard most of Wales alleged pollution is just from the M4 bottleneck. It was bad enough almost 20 years ago before they rebuilt the universities and made students travel even further.
-
It's also the same Welsh government that continues to refuse to solve the M4 bottleneck, owns a failing airport that forces people to drive to Bristol. And had their hand in the top of the valley race track, so how is any of that good for the children?.
-
Unpolluted is the best description, most canals have them growing in the clay and silt. That being said they are also overrun with signal crayfish, so presumably it's got plenty of food for them to survive.

Just thinking about your why they didn't put the hex head screws on the opposite site. Direction of rotation keeps them from unwinding out. You could always swap them out for a higher strength version, bit to be honest they'll still wear.
