Plenty of grease, worked hard it'll drink it like it's going out of fashion. Same with UJ joints, drive belts, the spec doesn't mention if it's got shear bolts. But if it has buy a bucket load and never be tempted to use stronger bolts.

Chimney soot in roof drinking water?
GarethM replied to Haironyourchest's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
One has to wonder what miracle they're expecting from something that's a waste products. Whilst I've heard no2's being lab purified for solving digestive problems. Maybe even weirdos draw the line at picking loo paper out of the next meal, or is that just added roughage? -

Depends on how much discount 😉. As the saying goes we're all whores, we just argue about the price. -
Transport is probably even cheaper due the it being at the end of its trip from China. It's one of the reasons we in the UK started building brick houses using Flemish bricks as they couldn't sail empty ships back to the UK.

Radioactivity isn't altered by burning, what it does do is make it airborne, which is more dangerous. But agree, buy local. Everything is radioactive, even lead was highly radioactive a billions ago. You get quite a high dose if you fly anywhere too.

Nicola has let that moustache grow a bit!.

Maybe Boris has decided he'll put his name down for London mayor again instead of being PM ?.

Brexit was never PR, as a kick to the nether regions we did elect a lot of UKIP MEPs as a message. But that hardly changed MPs. You'll be next wanting even more of a gravy train with more devolution to regions. It's hard enough with what 600+ MPs let alone more.

Whilst it does give a platform to a wider variety of parties and even independents. You just end up in political deadlock and bartering for slivers of power. Whilst our system is far from ideal, if they actually had any ideas they are able to do them. Obviously historically and not the recent ridiculousness.

They're reporting that Boris pulled out due to the investigation that's not finished. But he's waiting on the side lines etc. Granted that could be all journalist guff, but nothing surprise's me any more. At the same time we have zero credible opposition, other than flip flop between two party shambles. Anything is better than proportional representation and the total gridlock that seems to cause elsewhere around the world.

It's a bit like the garden party photos, which nobody ever says who took them.

But the sign said no coitus interruptus.

Better to atleast try and fail and get a bit dirty than call daddy or the AA. It's not exactly an EOD, providing he doesn't drop the car on the ground what's the worst that can happen. He'll, I'd even prefer he watched a couple of YouTube videos first and gave it a try than sit there like a lemon.

Hang on a minute, if we're having a dumpster fire of all my botches and bodged the least I'd do is do mine in the field out back. I like a warm bed but even I have limits 😉.

Detention might be an understatement, headmasters cane sounds more applicable.

A data sheet is a bit thin on the ground as it's made by ABX in Czechoslovakia and called a Arktis. It's 2.5-7 Kw, so could be getting a bit toasty and melting the silicone sealant. 1st port of call is the installer, take plenty more pictures and see what they say. Twin wall can and does get very hot depending on the install, but the installer has his name on the job so it's up to them to sort it.

Every day is a school day as they say 🙂

This might turn into a weird YouTube afternoon of distraction 🙂

I've never actually looked to see what happens with silicone when it's burnt, I guess if it's a hybrid it's entirely possibly it melts. What's the stove model ?.
-
Agree it's a very good looking install. Quick Google and that's rated to 150c+, no draught regulator visible so I guess it could get pretty hot and melt. They gave you an installation cert I presume?.
-
There won't be a joint as it goes through the wall. Doubtful it's silicone as they would use high temp stuff that sets solid, maybe cavity wall insulation melting. I'd suggest you call back the installer as I wouldn't touch it before calling them back under warranty. But having a 45 go through a wall does seem like asking for trouble in our rather wet climate.

Aren't a lot of the wind turbines also owned by vattenfall ?. Which is effectively the Swedish government, which you can't buy shares in. So guess they Vattenfall were the precursor to state nationalised EDF.

Over wintering cattle in a forest.
GarethM replied to Mrblue5000's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Sheep would always be my preferred option, had a neighbor winter cattle one year and they mostly stayed in the woodland out of the wind etc Fifteen years later and I took over the ground, the drainage is still terrible as the compaction just created a clay mud bath. You might be okay with a small breed like a Dexter, but sheep will munch the self seeded saplings. Best moved out by April tho as it'll be horse fly and bug central. Get some herwicks, personality, attitude and relatively low maintenance. -
You spent like half a page describing a boat analogy on my driveway. Whilst you didn't do the derailing, my initial thoughts were originally pretty common sense. Which has since snowballed into a why aren't you xyz etc.

I'm not the horse, but you're definitely trying to force it to drink. Your option is all people should be registered with companies House, in your eyes they're just fly by night types. Even tho sole trading types make up a large percentage of small businesses. I'm not registered as what I do is relatively low risk. Even my last employer ran it that way for 30+ years without problems.
