  1. That's across the grain tho, wasn't meant as a teaching to suck eggs. But effectively take the highest reading, even then a 4" log would be dry regardless. I'd suggest getting someone to check the installation, it's safer than just throwing around solutions. As we can all suggest lots of things but without it being Infront of us and knowing model numbers etc.
  2. That's why I was reading the keeping bees with a smile, it is about leaving them to do what they do and only taking a small amount of honey. Quite a good read really, whilst they still want to harvest honey he advocates minimal checking and allowing the colony to pretty much self regulate. Sugar was highlighted as a problem due to its refined nature devoid of minerals and such.
  3. L&S are usually great when you're buying a decent amount of things, looks cheap until you remember the postage at the end.
  4. You just need the bare necessities 😉
  5. I have been reading "keeping bees with a smile" off an on for a while. Definitely is an eye opener, but I think its probably a little less intensive in the UK.
  6. Especially if you've not got a cowl.
  7. Dad, the top of the stove is melting!. No son its smelting.
  8. Whilst I don't know his reasoning for wanting to switch from petrol to tractor. You could always swap out the petrol engine for a similar sized diesel if it's cost savings your after ?. Providing it's the same HP, they should be the same rpm etc.
  9. Would be interesting to see how you're putting them together and if they work. Guessing you are going to lathe out the middle for a frame or let them do as they wish ?. I'm sure I remember reading that idea in a natural beekeeping book, but the book was advocating horizontal hives and mostly leaving them alone.
  10. Sadly I think trying to teach you to atleast question what you read and hear would be like asking for tartan paint.
  11. My god man, are you still having a tantrum throwing your metaphorical toys out of the pram because people disagree?. Do you spend your days, avoiding what little common sense whichever deity you want to pick gave you. As of course everyone with a differing opinion to you is so obviously wrong, there are ostriches buried head first that are more open minded than you!.
  12. Group 2 Aluminium Hydraulic PTO Gearbox&Pump Assembly|Flowfit|ZZ009541 WWW.FLOWFITONLINE.COM Group 2, Aluminium Hydraulic PTO Gearbox and Pump Assembly, 4cc, 6.48 L/Min, 3.56 kW Output from our range... 40 lpm £205, not sure about the pressure. But personally I'd run it off the tractor hydraulics, depends on the tractor obviously.
  13. Oh there is plenty of dodgy stuff, but I seem to always find an actual dealer via it. The 46.15 was via a shop in Tavistock.
  14. When you've been splitting, you are using a full sized axe and not one of those camping type ones ?. I've split my fair share by hand and even freshly felled oak does split. Hardwood needs either a decent fire bed or at the least making smaller chunks to increase the surface area.
  15. You don't really get airlocks, bubbles maybe but you just cycle everything and they will clear relatively quickly providing you have enough oil. The t joins the two rollers together, so they turn at roughly the same speed and pull the wood in the same direction, as one roller turns clockwise and the other anticlockwise.
  16. You can usually find a few deals on fleabay for bar and chains. Just know your part numbers, two chains for £46.15.
  17. If you can't split it, I would definitely think it's still wet in the middle. Usually the only wood you can't split by hand when dry is eucalyptus, that's stuff when dry is like granite.
  18. What's the justified quote, meet a bumhole in the morning, they're the bumhole. If everyone you meet is a bumhole, your the bumhole.
  19. And unlike the echo chamber between your empty ears, maybe learn to treat the world with a certain amount of grey and learn to be a little more flexible in your thinking. Just because you read everything and take it as gospel, doesn't mean you should die of the alter of the BBC and MSM.
  20. Whilst chicken little might be right once in a while, making it out to be some a WW2 purge of the journalists is somewhat hyperbole. Take a deep breath and count to ten.
  21. Why do I now equate eggs as Lance corporal Jones.
  22. I still smell bs, just because you and your twatter followers have deluged the police and everyone else into capitulation. What's the phrase, never let the truth spoil a good story.
  23. Because I use the bs sniff test, if she was legal, show us a picture of where and at the time. If she can't articulate it within 30 seconds I smell something odd about her recollection.
  24. Sunlight!. No, I'm not ignoring anything and I said as much in my first post. Just because you are from the press does not give you free reign. You still have to operate within the law regardless. Break the law and your liable to be locked up, arrest and charged are also two very different things. As they are not convictions unless by trial.
  25. Are you really that world weary, maybe it's the lack of vitamin d from sitting in the bunker ?. It was reported she was on a road bridge, well how about details before you start screaming like a toddler.
