  1. So as as a seasoned skinner of tunnels, which is the easiest method of securing the plastic? Digging into the ground or wrapping it round a batten then tec -screwing batten to tunnel frame.? I know the installation guys use the latter but id prefer not to be drilling the frame unnecessarily
  2. Yeah I've one that I used to use for moving timber around the sawmill. Which bit's sticking. -The extension that you use for pushing back leaning trees or the spiked lower section. Both of these are a very tight fit on the square section frame. I've never yet got the pusher section to slide freely, despite stretching the metal all round with judicious hammer blows. If its the ratchet brake that appears to stick, its supposed to be like that and requires a force greater than the lifting effort to release it. Having severely abused it many times with hugely overweight logs, I can tell you sometimes it takes a huge effort to reverse the ratchet to lower it back down again.
  3. Delighted to hear that things are still progressing in the right direction. To be able to walk again without any aids or devices will be a truly magnificent day. I'm looking forward to it for you. Those surgeons and medics have preformed the incredible - like magicians and wizards, but more real! Well done to all, including you.
  4. Hey Dan, just watching the Olympics, with an ad for the paralympics made me think of you. We haven't heard from you in a while. How is your recovery and rehab going? Hopefully still going slowly in the right direction without any major setbacks. I trust the family are still good and you're getting more involved with them all again, day by day . Best regards Shaun
  5. Hi Peds, if the old gent in question is with you in Ireland, don't forget an air rifle or air pistol needs the same gun licencing as any other firearm. The rifled barrel is the bit they don't like. Until the last change in regulation it used to cost me 3 x as much to licence my grandads 70 yr old bsa airsporter air rifle compared to my 12bore shotgun. Pistols are definitely not looked on favourably over here. Something to do with history...
  6. How do these things work? Its like magic, even when you know its there it still doesn't appear without the squint bit. 😃
  7. Splitter !
  8. Ahh come on now, you can't just trot out the title and leave us hanging there. Things like this need a picture to get the sensories tingling. Probably too late now, and don't need to see inside the toilet bowl tomorrow
  9. Def a huge risk. Brave thing to do, you must know him well and have worked with him. I love the ringing sound big circulars make.
  10. Do you happen to know what version / episode/ series this is? - I feel a paypal mission ahead 😜😛🤪
  11. I'm not entirely sure you know MY wife there fella, sandwiches are OK but does fantastic gravy,- think you may be confusing me with another arbtalker. This could be the start of a really, really bad dispute😆💥
  12. I'll burn them happily in our closed inset burner where I can give them maximum airways and close off primary. No smell in the house but stinks like feck outside. - I don't go out for ½ an hour and if neighbours ask, it wasn't me! 😇 Other pallet wood I've come across that burns berserk is eucalyptus from imported pallets - crazy stuff for flaring up
  13. I don't think doubling up on layers is going to solve that problem! A change of diet or gaviscon may be solution you're looking for
  14. Sorry , cut myself off there..... perhaps this valve is partially blocked?
  15. Is there not a safety check valve in the ram connection, that prevents an uncontrolled drop if the pipe gets cut or ripped off ? Toggling the two switches is probably fooling this action. I don't know ifor tippers have this but seen it on agricultural grain trailers etc.
  16. Curiously it's always just the required amount of time for the necessary curses, surprise, and rage. Closely followed by the realisation of what should have worked better!
  17. Chickens eat dog shit and each other!
  18. I was trying to say that's nothing compared to what free range chickens will willingly eat given the chance
  19. He still looks pretty alive to me
  20. Now there's the magic words, same goes for the sound of whistling cords and a seriously overloaded engine when operators pay out way too much cord on a bump head, and thats before they attempt to start cutting. When I hear that ,I just want to snatch it from them and trim the lines down
  21. Its pretty rare is it not that a licensed gun owner of any sort goes shit crazy? Look to the unlicensed and the don't give a f#ck mindset, then try to round em up. Same sort of policing goes with motor crimes. The licensed and legal guys are the easy targets to control with minimal effort

    Head lice

    So does creosote. Love the smell and the tingle it brings to the skin ... ooh yummee. Bet its super effective against nits, fleas,worms and crabs.
  23. Hook em over the bed rails and walk your log up them from ground level, if you dont have a log deck or a loader
