    Fencing cost

    Some say the labour cost should match the material costs for fencing
  2. £18,000. There is a link at the bottom of the link above with more info. this:
  3. Our local ambulance service has a training department that also sells normal/basic first aid supplies, decent stuff at sensible prices. They don’t do more industry relevant stuff tho. the stien bleed control kits cover that.
  4. Crack the pipe off (either ram or pump end) if it drops it will be pump/solenoid related. If it’s makes no difference it’s ram end you need to look at. make sure you are under the truck not lent over the chassis rails and under the body, if it drops suddenly it could cut you in half! you will need to catch the oil that spills.
  5. I had quite a few attempts to place a ad the other day, ended up entering via google instead of from here.
  6. RIP Sir Tom What a legend, if every one had balls like him to push on and get the job done (what ever it is) we would be in a far better place as a country. I would like to hope my time ends on a high like his did (his achievements this last year over the last week in hospital) 🤔
  7. A sling choked around the tree could help to put your foot in, just don’t end up hanging in it!

  8. I thought it is the fur on the back of the leaves that made/released the itchy dust with London plane? Hence having no problems with it in winter. It can be nasty stuff to those that react to it.
  9. Tidy genuine machine for sale on arb trader.
  10. I’ve never had a problem but I have seen a few folk say that using treated timber for stickers will stain the boards. The worst I’ve had has sanded out.
  11. Great bit of kit, I’ve done a few good size stumps with one, not a replacement for a proper grinder but far better than a mattock when you have no access, or occasional use. My record stands at 2 n half foot bay stump with one. The teeth can be sharpened easily on the machine with a diamond grinding disc. The guys at Preditor give first class service and back up, can’t recommend them enough.

    Jokes???

    A husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course. The husband cringed, 'I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.' So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, 'Come on in.' When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass. A man reclining on the couch asked, 'Are you the people that broke my window?' 'Uh...yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that,' the husband replied. 'Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for my self.' Wow, that's great!' the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, 'I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.' 'No problem,' said the genie 'You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!' 'And now you, young lady, what do you want?' the genie asked. 'I'd like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants,' she said. 'Consider it done,' the genie said. 'And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!' 'And now,' the couple asked in unison, 'what's your wish, genie?''Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.' The husband looked at his wife and said, 'Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?' She mulled it over for a few moments and said, 'You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?' You know I love you sweetheart,' said the husband. I'd do the same for you!' So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?' 'Why, we're both 35,' she responded breathlessly. 'No Kidding,' he said. 'Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?

    Jokes???

  14. Cut a ring off and split it, the colour difference between the sap and hart wood may help I’d it.
  15. @AA Teccie (Paul) may be able to help with the correct answer! I had a lad ring for work that had moved from the states, he was in the process of doing uk nptc tickets so I guess they don’t interchange easily, good luck with it.

    Hanging on the telephone to start
  17. If you heat shrink your webbing sling it becomes a short stiff tether, works ok then. A floppy one ain’t no good, ask your missis!

    Jokes???

    Artic monkeys, the eagles, smashing pumpkins, radio head, the police, the pet shop boys and shed seven was all I found. I’m not Sure the pet shop boys can be classed as a band?
  19. Hope your all ok, bet you need to claim for a new pair of pants after that one! You could be able to get a new cab, we had one rolled on a farm years ago, insurance company had a new cab and panel work on it. if you get it back check the wheel studs, I know of two tractors that had been hit, (nothing as hard as your looks like) one from the side and one head on both had a wheel come adrift a few days later.
  20. Is the spool gun any good for welding Ally? I’ve not tried one
  21. Bloody good welders, stand the test of time as well.👍
  22. Just looked it up on YouTube, possibly better than a mattock but save a bit more and go bigger engine you won’t regret it, a 13hp grinder is hard work I would imagine 6hp would be painfull. Have a look at the rock ones if you want small and cheap people say there good value But I’ve not used one.

  23. If you need more than one machine (second saw or hedge cutter etc) the battery options can work out more cost effective as you already have your batteries and charger. We use some battery kit and have noticed the saving on fuel which also helps off sets the cost. There great for the right things but won’t replace a bigger saw but you said you have that. A full battery is will last longer than a tank on the equivalent petrol saw as it doesn’t sit idling when not cutting The lack of noise and fumes in my nose is the driving factor for me over environmental side, some say mining the lithium for the batteries causes as much damage as burning petrol, just moving the problem from our back yard. I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer that argument, so will leave it there.
  24. The predator 38 is a completely different league from the 460. The 460 is a capable machine mind. If you can afford to look at radio control, makes getting close to fences etc much easier as you can move to see what you are doing.
  25. The predator is 70 cm unless you go for the big one! That 4 cm can be a lot when your stuck at the garden gate 🤔
