  1. That and they're pretty weak structurally speaking and need a lot of below support. Do wish I'd spent a bit more and gone for insulated sheets on the agricultural shed, but hey I'm not ripping them off now!.
  2. Tis those hills you see 😉
  3. I wouldn't be too worried about looking at those lifting charts, most modern machines have enough electronics in them to know when you've farted let alone exceeded the lifting limits 🙂. That's not me saying don't just use common sense, as a pile of roofing sheets are heavy. Just lift them a few at a time.
  4. Legs down I'm afraid, you might be able to get them low enough to fool the sensors and use them like training wheels. Seen that done once or twice when steel sheds have been built.
  5. I'm not sure of the exact terminology but you can get done for playing around with the radio settings, possibly due care etc Think that's why they went more voice activated or steering wheel controls. Not sure if things like heater controls in a Tesla are voice activated ?.
  6. Think that's a standard merlo telehandler
  7. Speak to the neighbouring farmers. Just don't expect him to give you the keys to his combine harvester or get paid in zider.
  8. What about ripping in half those plastic recycled roof battens?. It's an investment but they'll never rot or deform, I had wondered if the spacers have to hardwood as I guess they might leave sap marks.
  9. Why not build into your prices a early payment discount of sorts, similar to late payment penalties. It's the only way you will ever get customers or suppliers to pay earlier than the standard 30 days but it has to be say £150. I had one argue with me it's 30 days depending on when I invoiced in the month, ended up being 7wks to get paid. The exception to the rule is some local councils have a immediate payment scheme for businesses with less than 250 employees.
  10. Fitted wardrobes in older houses are a spawn of Satan for dampness as it stops air circulation. Granted we leave the doors open, which kinda defeats the purpose of a wardrobe. Might be a timber Vs MDF argument, for natural wicking away moisture I dunno.
  11. I wonder how many of the holiday destinations in the Kokomo Song are going to be financial account locations ?.
  12. Asking the wrong person there, if I'm on my own without a radio I'm happy with silence and ear defenders. Know a few people who use those ear bud things like apple, but use one at a time so they get a full day as one on charge whilst the other is in use. The Stihl one says 38hour run time, not sure if that's standby or actual playing music.
  13. A listen today and a candle tomorrow 🙂. Bluetooth is probably better for listening, plus you can have the phone in you're pocket out of harm's way and maybe even something like those Stihl Bluetooth ear defenders?. Hate those inner ear type wired things, always fall off or out.
  14. Where do you put the wax cylinder?
  15. Always found a belt sander is better for recovering the edge of a chisel, then onto some decently drenched wet&dry sandpaper for the final edge. Or stones if you're really wanting that suicidal sharpness
  16. I bet his cab is cleaner than most operating theatre's, I know a few tractor tarts like that.
  17. I was racking my brain trying to remember when they started the mtronic as my 2014 is definitely electronic and a newer 2019. Did have the crankshaft issue on the 2014, retired it as a result. Absolutely cracking saw tho.
  18. Isn't that one of the much older MS261 as they've now just got three position start/stop/choke ?.
  19. As the woodworm eats the mpg gets better
  20. I don't like where this yew truck is going. I suppose it could be a 77 year thing.

    Chuck then on eBay at 25 and they'll shift.
  22. Why do I feel like doing a Attenborough style voiceover. This is what happens when the beast of the Finland forest ventures out into an open clearing and is savaged by nature. Chattering herds of light footed fergys taunt the beast.
  23. Or give them a ring after a quick Google search, 01372 390010.
  24. Might be worth having a chat with the consulate to see what they can do, it's worth looking at before looking at legal solutions.
  25. Doubtful of it being co2 neutral anytime soon, concrete is 410kg co2 per cubic metre. 5000ton is 2 million tons of co2 before we even get to the rebar and the actual turbine structure.
