    Did you check the person on that companies house listing ?. 3677 company appointments and 80 currently active as a director!.

    It's been discussed a few times, buy if you're going to use it yourself regularly but I don't think you'll get much business renting. There are a few doing rental on eBay, but when you can buy a cheaper venom for £1375. It's an investment fraught with risk with minimal rewards.

    Don't think any of those options are particularly good without an absolute scaffold pole arrangement to stop it moving in the wind. Get a stove fitter in to make sure it's fitted and legal for your home insurance. Right side end wall would be best option where your arm chair is, then through and up the outside wall above the ridge height & well away from openable windows.

    Why can't the eco loon types be happy with some form of balance for a country that produces less than 1.3% of global emissions. There will never be a panacea solution other than a mass deletion that meets your zero damage to the world. I just get to a point where I have to ask, when will eco types be happy and say job done?

    Why not just fill a mined out coal seam ?. Surely that achieves the exact same effect, especially once you turn off the pumps.

    It's the lesser of evils argument, regardless of efficiency or particulates. If I'm cold I'll light a fire or burn natural gas or put on the electric fire. Wood is effectively on my doorstep, gas imported from Qatar or the USA at cryogenic temperatures, shipped to Wales and kept so cold it's a liquid and then heated using seawater before supplying to the gas grid. As has been said, even if it's an open fire with the windows open it's probably better for the environment than Qatar or USA imported gas.

    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!.

    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 ?.

    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 ?.
  12. GarethM
    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.
  20. GarethM
    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.
  22. GarethM
    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.
  24. GarethM
    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 ?.
