    Well that's about the biggest non problem I ever did hear of, as Stubby said, your combustion chamber is running at it's optimum so why by unhappy with it, I suppose the only ultimate answer to your fussiness could be to find some used space shuttle heat shield tiles on ebay and cut them to fit 👍

    I'm looking for the same as I had to go back to my old Nokia which I had given up on due to being unable to see the screen in even any daylight, the new Nokia dumbphone was worse, I managed to polish the screen of the old one a bit but it needs changed. I've been looking at the Cat B30 which claims to be waterproof, dirtproof, drop proof and loud with a long battery life and a semi decent camera.. have a look. My problem is that I know sfa about tech👍 CAT B30 Tough Mobile Phone - Tough Phones TOUGHPHONES.NET The CAT B30 is a tough mobile phone with an IP67 rating, making it dust and water proof. This is a simple and easy to...

    One of my neighbours who seems much more green fingered than myself last year tried these wool slut pellets with some success, obviously not a commercial answer but I recon I'll give them a go round my rhubarb next year as unless I go out every night with a torch and pick them off I get no crop. We used to have a lot of Hedgehogs in the village but there was 1 notable pellet poisoner who wouldn't be told and of course they vanished, it's weird how some folk are selective about which part of nature they value and are unable to see the full picture... she died last year at 90+ so we'll see how long it takes for them to return.. Buzzards seem to also sporadically vanish for years at a time so I suspect a strong connection. Romney Marsh Wools ROMNEYMARSHWOOLS.CO.UK

    Did you break that red cars window, my arsehole neighbour's done his own 3 times with that head, I borrowed it once.. it can fairly fire stones 🤣

    Serene 👍

    Thanks @Stubby, not sure if I already replied due to @redwine 😆

    Yep, one of my neighbours has the solar water panel, it works great and was a condition of planning permission but unfortunately where I am the sun goes behind the hill for a couple of months a year. And yes I'm in the middle of setting up a simple 12v system for outdoor LED lighting, at least it'll be a start👍
  15. Macpherson
    Firstly how do you do that @ baldbloke thing 😃 Yours and agg's conversation was way over my head, I am considering solar and batteries in the spring but maybe just for a lot of 12v lighting at first or perhaps with inverter of limited emergency power. When I recently looked at the subject it was the complicated control systems that I quickly realised that I don't have a hope of understanding and wouldn't want to have to depend on others for maintenance. In the spring I will probably contact my nearest installer for advice and possibly a survey. cheers.

    This thread links up very nicely in some respects to the 'going off grid' thread, both very interesting and both very quickly have gone right over my head. cheers.

    You can tell they were enjoying this..

    Looks like you went through that bit of metal in 4 or 5 strikes just like counting rings.
  19. Macpherson
    Which one ?
  20. Macpherson
    Yep, might as well spend savings before there worth nothing... what will you buy, maybe 881 for me 👍

    Thick fog here today but I know what you mean, a nice crisp day's ideal, I got the mini mill at the same time as my Alaskan [ when they were much cheaper ] but tbo I've not used it much as I bought a 6m straight edge and a Makita ripsnorter that does a 4" cut 👍

    Never had any Chestnut, looks V nice... so is that horse or sweet ? I see you have the saw lying back in the mini mill, I seem to remember a video.. probably one of Rob's, where the saw is mounted leaning about half the angle the other way, just a tad past 90 degrees meaning the way that the teeth contact and slice through the grain is different / cleaner and gives a smoother cut. I know it feels a bit more awkward holding the saw like that but I think there is a difference. Had a quick look on the chainsawbars site, only really a couple of videos videos of him cutting vertically but now with his Panther equipment, you can see at the start of this one that the bar is very slightly past the vertical but from memory the Mini mill vid I saw it was a little more pronounced, anyway works for me, cheers.

    Ok, I was just curious as to the perennial appearance of tatties everywhere that they've been previously planted and how commercial growers avoid this when rotating crops. I got round it by growing in black bags which is fine for me but obviously not any use commercially, it would seem that my question was answered... and it's the use of herbicides which would defeat the purpose of growing my own. Also I find it fascinating that if I plant a really crap supermarket tattie that's chitted in the kitchen it grows into a much nicer thing all together, cheers.

    Not sure I understand.. I don't use chems in my garden
  25. Macpherson
    Ok thanks, I'm glad I grow my own in that case👍
