  1. A £40 reciprocating saw makes mincemeat of pallets but it's also the dust. Pallets are generally made of horrible hemlock, so less dust is better. I tended to make a stack and just work my way down, about 2 minutes a pallet and it's cut to a suitable length and I then used a wheelie bin. Your saw is too long for such work, you'll end up with it kicking back!. Just say NO!.
  2. eBay says £50 each, so £500
  3. Never cut pallets with a chainsaw, buy a cheap reciprocating saw for that sort of punishment.
  4. Probably quicker and easier to ring forst for support. If the engine is cutting out without being pressed I'd check the usual things like oil levels too.
  5. I'd say emergency stop, unless it does toast. Maybe a make and model?
  6. Granted it should be breathable I guess which might be an advantage, depends on the insulation value I guess. Sometimes it's more efficient to use the evils of modern insulation than double the depth for natural stuff.
  7. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385196010348
  8. Yeap, architects then engineers then the council building control, each wants a cut of the pie. Daft question I'm guessing you're timber is for non structural things like cladding, as doesn't it have the be marked and tested for say floor joists?.
  9. Your in Europe so easier to just find the closest distributor.

    Even if the government paid half we'd still be triple the price Daewoo and such can build them for in Korea. We can't even make large steel pipe in Germany anymore, probably Chinese or Indian.

    Yeap, gotta love Vatternfall buying stuff like that to subsidise Sweden and you can't buy shares. Why premium bonds don't get their hands on them I will never know. Surely 33m is atleast a couple of turbines we could just take in exchange?
  12. If I ever get a hgv with a load sensor I'll let you know.
  13. I fill mine to the absolute gunnels, double stacked and let the stiff breeze work it's magic. Whilst I'm not disputing your scales, I don't think I'm far off my estimation, it might be somewhere in the middle as two guys can't slide a dried one on a concrete floor.

    Moray Firth wind farm operator ordered to pay more than £33m WWW.BBC.COM The owners of Beatrice - Scotland's largest offshore wind farm - have admitted a licence breach.
  15. I'd speak to the UK consulate in BC, as I'm guessing you're wife is still dual citizen or you are EU/Canadian. Might be easier than you think as it's within the commonwealth. Probably don't even need a sponsor.
  16. And no picture of the actual cage, you said yours was 50% air
  17. Unfortunately not got a scale. My forklift can lift 1.3 ton, not overloaded but definitely knows it's there so around 900kg

    But Earl Grantham we won't have enough room for your under butler or the kitchen maid.
  19. That's how I store mine, not sure it's 50% air. Plus an IBC is 1.2m3
  20. As you've already got a manitou, why not just buy a cheap semi scrap 3/4 ton agri trailer. They have large tyres, dual axle would be preferable to spread the weight and a 4 ton would get atleast 4 at a time. Anything road trailer wise will get stuck very quickly as they're like lawn tractor tyres.
  21. £45, I don't want you giving it away and working for nothing!. We could send it all via royal mail and he can airfix it together?. Glue and dovetails not included.
  22. I'm sure even they get deliveries if you're ordering enough. All the houses can't all be salvaged from shipwrecks, there only so much driftwood available for building that wicker man. Or is it you quoting £45, that's up your neck of the Highlands 😉
  23. An IBC cages of firewood will weigh about the same as one filled with water when unseasoned. I use a rough terrain forklift around the yard and a full cage is about a ton, from experience don't move two at a time either. Probably best to just make a hard standing or track, cuts down the moving but can take the weight for a normal trailer.
  24. Someone's pulling your leg, howarth have it listed as £41.98 Inc vat for a 6.9m C24 kiln dried.
  25. Just ring forst direct
