  1. For some reason most cheapo saw have terrible anti vibe 40c saws worse than an old 08S White finger inducing machines that are not nice to use for very long...
  2. Maybe it wasn't as good a job as claimed by the installers.... Norway & Sweden have adopted the technology did they make a mistake ?
  3. There are 3 USA forums that seem fairly busy.
  4. That depends on if they also install a good lvl of insulation plus underfloor heating etc that works at lower temps plus on future gas & electric prices? Think problem isn't the technology its poor workmanship or having the regulation in place so they are done to a decent minimum standard. Other EU goverements seem to be investing more than the UK in eco stuff https://www.cbi.org.uk/media/rdkjcb4u/green-growth_supplementary-release_jan-2023_final.pdf
  5. For a all rounder 50cc with 15in bar. But if limited to one saw only a 60cc with 18 in will cover more stuff. Think you need 2 saws - handy if you get the bar trapped to have spare one with you or if one stops working, and hazel to large trees is a big range. What saw do you use atm?
  6. Need to rebalance my 2 way oregon mulch blade as getting vibes ordered that oregon blade balancer thing also should be useful for the mower.
  7. Do you want one? USA versions: https://www.fs.usda.gov/t-d/pubs/pdfpubs/pdf01232334/pdf01232334_72dpi.pdf Have you seem the dakine builders back ?

  10. Scientist finds UK water companies use 'magic' to find leaks WWW.BBC.CO.UK Engineers from the majority of the UK's water firms still use divining rods to locate pipes, it emerges.
  11. Dowsing - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Interesting list of all the studies that have being done into it...non that really found it to work. Remember Welsh water sent a guy out he was dowsing to find our neigbours water pipe guy was 100% cofident it worked - then he failed completely. Odd that something so strange and unscientific with not known mechanism still has so many people who believe -ive not seem first hand anyone do it sucessfully - but know that many say they can etc.

  13. Not a believer but I rank it less unlikely than the others as they did find a small version in the de-extinction of the Coelacanth fish also the flores ape man was abit like a real life mini Yeti than went extinct only 50,000 yrs ago.
  14. Big cats in Britain Yeti Loch Ness Monster QAnon/Global Cabal/New World Order UFO Ghosts
  15. I reckon a coppiced hardwood like sycamore or ash beech at about 30yrs old is the ideal perfect firewood nice straight logs to process. Not that much of it about though? Hazel is good but abit small and takes ages to grow huge as once overstood its growth rate decreases alot. Would be Ideal along side other woods though as kindling though - with a branch logger etc say on a 15ys cycle....
  16. Sounds very prestigious on the website working internationally for large corps etc. Baumchirurgie Saller WWW.BAUMCHIRURGIE.AT The specialists for your trees…
  17. Ive had the same or related strain of fungi on my plums for several yrs but it seems alot worse this yr and I have noticed alot more of it about recently in other gardens also on plums. Cutting out all the infected growth is on larger plums trees where near 50% infected is near impossible Apples that have seen infected are only very mildly infected compared to the plums. I think some varieties are more resistant than others as the wild damson/bullace seem immune. I wonder if its weather related or theres a new more virulent strain about? Had if before and the trees recovered abit so then in yrs after it was less bad...but this yr its alot worse. https://www.niab.com/sites/default/files/imce_uploads/PressOffice/plum-best-practice-guide-blossom-wilt-brown-rot.pdf
  18. Always thought this: From the hearing:
  19. UFO hearing live: Whistleblower gives evidence at US House panel hearing - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK Three former members of the US military are questioned by a House panel on UFO sightings.
  20. This mighy be of interest to some Electric trolley canal boats: Trolley canal boats WWW.LOWTECHMAGAZINE.COM For many centuries, canal boats were propelled by men, horses or mules on the towpath beside the water. Before diesel...
  21. Better also be class 2 or 3 then? Class 1 wont stop say a ms261 well im guessing...... Class 2 or 3 might do abit better..... Also replaced every 30 washes according to SIP as washing & dirt supposedly knackers the fibres so second hand ones aren't ideal either.
  22. If you do get one go battery they are worth the extra as fumes from a hegde trimmer are worse than chainsaw as holding closer to face in often confined spaces. Also the waste removal is over half the job. Yes beware of the leylandi monstrosities that are 5m's across the top and waste will be 10 van loads.
  23. Won't be easy ir cheap to do it properly Money no object with the right machines its probably its possible Root ball gonna weight abit will need to be the size in pic above etc or bigger for a 40yrs old tree - also wrong time of yrs isn't gonna help chances of sucess much. I think thoose tree spades are to way to small? Very specialized job...
  24. Thought type c was only needed for climbers
