Would you consider lack of dealer PDI operator error.

Honda copies like the pressure washer I was offered for £250. -
My thoughts exactly Most important is that you and your loved ones get a proper holiday. Even if you are prepared to have a substandard hoilday you wife and family may not. Presumably you are taking your family so give them 100% of your time. By leaving one of your employees in charge/ doing quotes you boost their morale and they will also realise the extras you have to do. Even if mistakes are made the trust you show will be repaid in ways you might not realise. You are saying to your staff "I have confidence in you." Or don't you trust them? By all means leave instruction to contact you in a real emergency but you never know what's around the corner so make the most of your holiday.

Make sure your breather is clear. Work the ram up and down a few times with the cap loose. Crack the pipe at the highest point with no pressure applied. Sometimes bubbles of air get suspended in the oil but given time they normally float to the surface and everything is as it was.

Is your oil level at its maximum level?

GEE Propel Boilers/ Boiler Share
cornish wood burner replied to Stihllymok's topic in Firewood forum
Do you think an electric heat gun/paint stripper type would do the job? The one on our 1 MW was a bit slow but on a smaller boiler should work well I would have thought. -
Delegate. One of your guys could finish earlier to do the admin. Alternatively you could work from a different location but what is the point of a holiday?

Slight change in the goal posts here. You can use 60mm paviors and if your base is good by your house you might get away with 10mm of sand there, and get deeper further away. Alternatively dig it out and do it properly. It depends how big your drive is and whether you want to spend the extra but they have two advantages. As already said if a service needs attention then they will go back with no scar. Also it would add value to your property whereas a cowboy job will not, infact it might put off a buyer with the thought " what else has been bodged". I would get a price from a specialist paver you might be surprised. First impressions can be important when selling so I doubt you would lose the money it would cost.

Score one failure to auto tune and one to very difficult to start unless you have the right technique or are very lucky, it is improving with running though so possibly some build quality issue. Strange but the 3 home owner and a Chinese saw I use between work and home have all been faultless and have all cut about the same amount of wood as the pro saws.

Beat me to it. We have artics running/ turning on ours

Kiln dried Firewood - The future ?
cornish wood burner replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
Depends where you are surely. I dry 3000 tonnes/ year to 25% as biomass boiler fuel. 1000 cube to 20% would just need more drying time and space / stack. -
You think it will dry OK in a 2x2x2m ?
-
South west crane hire have always done me well. Different sort of lifting to yours but they have always been helpfull. Tell them weight and distance and you should get a price although they have normally had a look for the big lifts.
-
Just been reading about the customer taking responsibility for seasoning his own wood. One thing not been mentioned is how they are going to achieve this. Even if they had some space it might still not be a suitable spot with suitable airflow. 8 cube stacked for drying would not be practical for the average house.
-
Very true but as I have now paid off my morgage etc, I am quite happy for them to work with my money, but I expect something in return. We have found Loyds better than Barclay's or Sandander. They did make a mistake setting up a dd once and put £100 in our account as compensation. All branches obviously vary but we have found our local Loyds very good.

cornish wood burner replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
Lots of things wrong with the system IMO. Getting paid for using wood to dry more wood rather than sun and wind is only one. We get an OTT amount for roof mounted PV and biomass RHI, neighbouring prime agricultural farmland full of PV has to be the worst though. Bottom line is that if OTT or inappropiate payments are offered then its obviously good business sense to take them. I'm all in favour of renewables but I believe some payments have been pitched too high and some for the wrong things. -
Santander have a good system. Move some money electronically it disappears from your account but doesn't reappear where it should. Presumably they work with it until they see fit to pass it on.

What do think of the BUDGET THEN THANKS
cornish wood burner replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
"Too lazy to work" have not had it too bad if what my wife sees is representative. She does social research for a living. Families get a letter asking if they would do an interview, often enclosed is a £10 or £20 voucher which never seems to arrive so they get another. Often income is £400/ week. Record was around £500. All seem to have all the designer kit, big TVs etc. Very few say they are looking for work which I can understand. Not seen the budget yet but its certainly about time the system was shaken up. -
Same here about 6 years ago. MC6012 probably different now though. As with all if you are a serious user calibrate it with microwave and scales. Kitchen scales that weigh to a gram are cheap as chips now.
-
As we all know its the moisture laden winter air doing the damage. I try to minimise this by stacking in my shed at the end of the summer. It has poor airflow but if the wood is stacked dry then it stays dry.
-
ericw You have missed the third and probably the most important variable. Air movement. Without it the moisture laden air stays adjacent to the wood. A large stack of wood facing the wind will dry quicker and down to a lower MC in a given time, than the sheltered stack downwind. I have found typically 5% difference with a reasonable gap. However some years ago a couple of lorry drivers stacked some of our wood with the rows touching. We found this wood started to go over( rot)after a couple of years presumably because of lack of air movement . It was restacked with a 1.5 M gap and dried better but the damage was done.

Yes that the place. I would call first though to make sure Joe or Les are going to be there. Have a look online at their catalogue 01404 823975.

We use Smith and Jones at Pottery St Mary for our irrigation supplies. Joe will be able to fix you up with some PVC glued connectors 25,32,50, 63 or 75 mm. Link top to bottomwith 90 deg bends and you are done. Postage might be high as pipe comes in 5 M lengths. You could save a bit if its cut to length first perhaps. Depends where you are but any horticultural irrigation supplier would have the bits. I have put in an underground tank which comes with a filter on the inlet to stop leaves etc, and manhole but more money. You will get trouble with algae as already said.

I seem to remember some shuttle gearboxes used a red oil (ATF by other name )around the 80s Never did a MF30 E so your mate might have the best info.
-
Heard of two layers laid from day one, when there is no soil. Used sometimes as a quick fix for new estate houses with a garden of rubble. Never seen the results but presumably it works although it might dry out a bit quicker than normal.
