  1. So much for seasoning for 2 years .......
  2. I wish I could see how to upload pictures from my ipad It always asks me for a url
  3. Why's he andStihl using the internet ? King Canute rules ( but possibly not for ever )
  4. Some yearsago reported abuse to the RSPCA an elderly farmer had gone a bit nuts ( stored dip in the house) and was buying sheepdogs and keeping them in a barn with no food 12 dogs went in 1 or 2 came out.....and it wasn't stopping I dithered a bit then contacted RSPCA , they did nothing......
  5. There is no legal requirement re purchase of a saw...its not a gun So this is just an attempt by Stihl to try and control retail price of a saw That suggests to me that if you line up all the makes/models of saws on one website, Stihl don't come out of the comparison too well.......
  6. Cold at night ....put another dog on
  7. Can't concretefloor as .i put in eectric underfloor heating 8 years ago Great, but too expensive to run, we had 14 feet snow twelve months ago and couldn't get to logshed ....had to put underfloor on, next bill £1500 ... Not acceptable I have worked from home since 1988, so my max commute is 35m unless I forget keys when it doubles, no problem firing up woodburners If I could get grant would probably go for log fired biomass ..... But getting pissed off with everyone saying you can't do that with logs .... Seeing american boilers at $3500 being sold for £8000 in uk pisses me off too...... I've never had central heating so all new to me ..... If I get old at night I put another dog on ......
  8. Do you think we should print off this discussion and send to head of marketing STIHL UK? Genuine customer feedback to him re his business, how valuable is that?
  9. 3 days ago here ( n wales)
  10. I think you can get internet thermostat controls which means you could runroom temperatures from your phone .........
  11. I'd love a system like that, but may be selling up in a few years time so cannot justify cost However if I do new build then will be looking for this sort of system.....
  12. Thats just what you want to hear......
  13. Just taken out my rayburn royal.... Never really got the room warm and cost fortune in coal The old one in my previous house was brilliant, could fill right up on friday night, come back sunday and house was warm and it was still in ......just .... Put brand new one in when we did house up along with fancy chimney stack that cost fortune ...very disappointing ......replaced with lpg range cooker two years ago, but now need to get heating sorted ...... And I have a lot of free wood
  14. Don't say that.... I don't want another job I'm going to have to do myself ..... That way lies real trouble!
  15. Got a friend who was in currys shrewsbury with her mate They got diabolical rude service re something mate had bought Her mate was going ballistic and being ignored Friend waited till they walked away and abandoned them and leaned over counter and switched entire system down Strolled out of shop leaving it in pandemonium, nothing working and major job to fire it all up again
  16. Beginnng to rethink full central heating system Plumber wanted to run surface pipes everywhere, I think it might spoil the house..... Might just go for partial system, + woodburners in bad weather i've got two good woodburners already which are easy to run So a Third for basic system ( hot water + 4 radiators ) might be better.....
  17. There is guy putting up horse boxes in Bala Business name Stable erections
  18. That's good to hear ..... Whats their quality like? There is one eBay site claiming higher output than the others ....i assume some vendor telling fibs
  19. You'd crap yourself if you saw that drive into your yard ! You just know trouble was on its way ;-)
  20. Anybody got any experience about 17kw MAX NERO BACK BOILER Contemporary Woodburning Stove Stoves Multi fuel | eBay
  21. Neat idea Wonder if you could make fuel pellets similarily? I come from mill town whete spinning jenny was invented Local story was some guy made prototype Didn't work, threw it out of window in disgust Some guy called Arkwright picked it up, saw what was wrong Few years later he was Sir Joshua Arkwright millionaire ( or vctorian equivalent) Don't give up yet
  22. Thats what I thought too.....But when there are ads in farmers guardian saying boiler £5k gives you £7k pa income for 20 years you have to have a look For the life of me cannot see why pellets are better than logs.... I undetstand all the advantages in handling pellets, acts more like traditional fuel, but actually better than logs not convinced ? Perhaps more even burning characteristics......but reducing emissions ?
  23. A mate reckons bankers want us out of europe His reasoning is they have got away with being crooks AND been bailed out by us and that they are now planning the BIG ONE , and need to be free of europe to do it Ie they are gearing up to rob us of £100's billions Sounds like crap, but think about it .... Crooks don't stop if you let them off, they just get greedier On those grounds I'm for europe ......
