Will it take another war with the Welsh to get rid of the ' go compare ' annoying git ?🤣

This machine ?

I thought as much, Limestone's easy to work with and stonework very satisfying and rewarding and if I were you I'd think twice about burying anything but the total dross. Our predecessors laboured long and hard to shelter themselves from the weather with a few primitive tools and knew a bit about craftmanship, if the whole original house is Limestone then any stone even if rough can be reworked relatively easily and rebuilt into something else, I wonder how much you'd pay today to buy a house load of quarried local building stone. The fact that it will fall down easily gives you potentially the main part of another building or a resource to build whatever the stone says to you.. but beware, . working with stone is more addictive than milling😁 and Limestone is one of the easiest to use[ imo ] Probably a pressure washer will clean the old lime mortar off the stone and as you demolish it separate / sort the stone into separate piles depending on potential reuse, big flatties/right angles/graded by size/1 off shapes etc.so it's not all in a jumbled pile, double handling and the back pain. As for your road, I don't think it would be to expensive just to get other loads of ballast delivered. All the best with your plans👍

Thought this insider view from Moscow kind of shows a different view of the situation that we don't hear.

I'm no expert but maybe it could be called a pressure compensated flow control valve or just a flow control valve. Can you not get an online parts list for the machine or contact a dealer. Cheers

You might be lucky and find some nice stone which you may be able to reuse as features in the house you build.. Lintels, quoins, cills etc. I don't know what your local stone is like, but over here the older houses had first pick of what was lying around when they were built all that time ago, and often a lot of it is very reusable. Obviously I've no idea of your plans but you may get enough good stuff for a feature fireplace, porch or something, letting the old house live one. I too will watch with interest, cheers.

Was it this guy ?

I can't say that prior to the last couple of years I had too much time for Neil Oliver and much in the same vein Russel Brand, but as far as talking old fashioned common sense as to the way the world used to be before it was hijacked by nonsensical pish, I think they are amongst the few that are still talking plain old common sense. This is Neil Oliver's take on the current situation and he speaks for me [as I wish I had the words] and I'm sure many others with his analysis of the current state of affairs... Like him or not, who can disagree with any of this ?

I'm quite sure you're right, I wonder if there will be anything alive on the planet this time next year.

It looks like Ukraine has military service so perhaps most would be better prepared than we would for instance. Although this could be wrong as it seems to be one of the subjects that google won't answer directly.

I think if I was a Ukrainian I'd want a weapon, but I take you're point and without training it will probably just lead to a reason to kill civilians. Saw footage of captured Russian soldiers saying that they were tricked into combat thinking they were on exercises, they were just kids who seemed glad to be still alive and with no appetite for war as seems to be the case with many ordinary Russians, cheers.

I wonder how many have died or are mutilated due to the actions of 1 day.

A fairly poor bit of driving then,👎 I can't imagine that the bloke is uninjured, I guess we'll find out the truth.

Disgusting

I was just having a laugh, but at least 30 years ago me and a mate of mine thought that these machines could have been used to generate power, seems just a waste otherwise... the exercise that I take when working at least transforms my energy into something useful [ hopefully ]

This war could have the potential for a nuclear disaster from the point of view that a quick google shows that Ukraine has 4 nuclear power stations with 15 reactors. It would make sense that any major war nowadays risks devastating the globe with radiation, look at Chernobyl and the effect it's had and is still having.. how could any effort of containment possibly happen in a war zone ? There was footage today of a power station being targeted and thick smoke coming from it.

Yep, It certainly seems to power the pushbikes that so many of these 'fit' folk use for 'exercise'... But I get what you mean about gyms after a bit of mind jiggling.... I've never been in one , but I guess the machines are all powered, the fatties would be better off on a big hamster wheel getting the feed in tariff to pay for their membership😄

I've long since thought that gyms are missing a trick in that if all their exercise machines generated power and were linked to the grid they'd make a bit of cash, not that I've ever been in one.. but it would be the free harvesting of energy from locked up blubber and a power source our dear governance is missing out on. The one lesson I got from school physics was that energy is conserved but it's never been more visible😁

Amazing how fast things move, in only a few weeks he's truly shown himself as Trudolf 👍

Aye, most of the Larch up my way is Jap or perhaps hybrid and very gnarly, had some Siberian recently for a job. it was very nice👍

I got mine to fix for one of my neighbours, it had laid around unused for decades and was manky so I decided to strip it and clean it up before trying to fire it up. It was very nice to take apart, everything well engineered Under the grime it turned out to be in great nick the only thing I needed was a carb kit and the pump gears which I was lucky enough to find on ebay from a saw shop in Lithuania of all places, s/h but perfect £8 inc post... so you never know you're luck, anyway the neighbour didn't want it back 👍

Hi, I think it's husky equivalent was a 162, I have a 49SP of the same era .. early 80's There's a thread discussing the 630 on here if you have a search 👍

I've used Alder to make quite a few platters it's such a wet fast growing wood that once it's has dried it becomes quite light in weight so certainly for small items I can achieve complete penetration of Tung oil mixed 50/50 with turps which when after a few soakings to saturate as much as possible and then dry over maybe a couple of weeks or more they become totally durable and survive many hot detergent washes along with all the other dishes, sink not machine. Not exactly carving but dry Alder will certainly soak up loads of oil to replace the lost moisture and regain a bit of weight into the bargain, I like to apply it to one side of a piece of wood till it soaks right through to the other side. For me the beauty of it is that it doesn't take years to dry out before you can use it👍 As is my Strat👍

Cheers, I really only trap Swans and Eagles for the pot😄

It's netting but made from 2mm twine in 1" squares I've used it before to keep the birds off fruit bushes and had no tangled birds.. I take it that would be you're worry ?
