  1. A simple tree gard will do all the protection you need. After that soil, sun and water will do the trick.

    I would replant it somewhere further away from the wall regardless of what the wall is.

  2. Have you a picture that shows the whole tree and the context it is in?

    I would of said from the bark it looks like ash so has a high chance of dying from adb anyway but any ash that are not infected are important as a future seed bank to breed resistant trees from for the future.

  3. 404 is fine but I would recommend buying a ripping chain, you will get a smother cut and use less fuel in my experience. Also how old are your bars? Chain wonder from uneven bar rails can cause issues when milling 

  4. If you’re cutting with the grain look at a ripping chain. But I wouldn’t worry about chain blunting, maybe a little quicker than green wood but not enough to stress bout.
     

    I would say @Rob D if probably your best man for this question seeing as he has probably forgotten more about chains than some of us know! .

    This no longer concerns me as I drink both tea and coffee black, but there are a significant number of people who drink theirs with milk, and a great many of those choose to add milk to the whole flask when it is made, rather than adding it to the individual cup when pouring. There is nothing wrong with this, despite what whoever wants to complain about the practice has to say.

     

    Warm milk left in undisturbed corners will inevitably turn into yoghurt, cheese, or some mysterious substance somewhere between the two. Pop-top thermos lids are a favourite location for yoghurt farmers to grow their product, and some of them are incredibly difficult to dismantle for proper cleaning. 

     

    I promise you, there is someone reading this right now who is even unaware that they do require periodic maintenance, and has a stomach-churning quantity of dairy smegma built up under his lid.

     

    For this reason, half-thread thermos lids are far superior. 

    With you now, milk should be kept in a separate bottle! If you can’t tell tea is a ritual this way 👍

    More info needed. I can't stand the push button lids as they gunk up with yoghurt and other scum. Half threads are still the best solution in my opinion, keeping heat in but letting fluid out.

    Yoghurt? In a flask? - (walks off tutting loudly) Flask is for tea and tea alone you heathen. 

     

    on a serious note I think the Stanley flasks are as good as you get at a sensible price.

    Totally agree. I was given this saw without battery or charger which I purchased. Saw was a great little back up for a while until this happened. One of the raised pieces has sheared off. These raised profiles link into a scroll which clamps down onto the bar. It's annoying because it's such a small part, I just can't  see how I can repair it, and without it the saw is useless 😩

    Is that part steel or Ali? It could be possible to build the lug up with weld and grind it back if you have the kit to do so, I doubt it would be viable to pay someone to do it tho.  
     

    or adw did have a poss solution for you but it’s not something I’m familiar with.
