A woman recently moves to a new area, and is struggling to find a boyfriend, she trays joining a gym, going to the movies, all the local pubs and clubs, libraries, absolutely everything to no avail, In the end she goes to her doctor for some advice, He looks at her, tells her to stand up, jump up and down, she does so, the doctor goes hmmmm, ok turn around, So she turns around and gets her to jump up and down again,. The doctor goes, " ah, as I thought" " ok sit down please" The woman asks , do you know the problem doctor? Yes, he replies you appear to have Zachary disease! Zachary, disease what is that, she asks Well, he says. It's when your face looks Zachary same as your arse

yes i agree with the above i install rads on ALL my lines barbed and plain, im a full time fencer, and also the idea of pulling every 50 mtrs is bizarre, it easier to pull longer lengths tight, #you ask any fencer it the short bits you struggle to get tight, now as for gripples perhaps ive been lucky but ive not had one slacken with me yet, if pulling short runs up to 150 mtrs, i tie one end and the if possible pull to the other , i put clamp on rylock and the pull with a strop, on the motor, the ideal way is to use a telescopic, with the boom right out and then you can slowly pull it in and also use the tilt to adjust top or bottom,

Some from a wise old Dane that used to manage Aberdeen fc, Statistics are like mini skirts, they give you good ideas but hide the most important things, The operation was successful, but the patient still died. We have a saying in Denmark, stick your finger in the ground and see what happens. You never sell the skin, until you've killed the bear. And one from the bible I use often. Blessed is the man without expectation, for he shall never be disappointed.

never seen any of thier products up here, is it a more high end product?

Got on fine the top gate bar runs parallel with the top rails, Whilst the bottom rAil runs perfect with the bottom fence rail, have to say that wasn't by design but for me that is near spot on!

Hi folks just finishing a job for some of the above family, they have not long moved up here, Was just wondering are they a big producer in the south west , I've never heard of them up here, For the avoidance of doubt, no problem with them just interested to know if they are a big concern, the property they have is a big really fancy place.
-
No just a rigid one on the bottom, but as you said if I get everything marked out level to start with should be fine.
-
Yeah I am using that type of hooks it's the straps on the gates that are rigid, I was just remembering if that I once used 8 inch eye bolts, through the actual gate onto the hooks this allowed adjustments from both eye bolts and the hooks, It's reminded me that I got 10 inch ones made for another job. I must get more made,
-
I've to complete a job tomorrow by hanging a gate on a post and rail fence, now the problem with wooden gates is ofcourse the fact that due to the rigid metal straps on the gates there is no adjustment for levelling unlike steel gates with there adjustable eye bolts, So what's the easiest way to get gate level is it easier to but in top hook attach top strap and then level with bottom strap if you know what I mean.

That stuff is good I've used it and recently bought again as for octopost I'm fencing with them just now 3.20 per post , you do t want to know price of a strainer.
-
As a fencer myself I've no problem hanging gates of strainers, short runs require to be cut and tied off just like long lengths and are worse to get tight so I would charge no less, If the ground is good then you should chap in the strainer, round or square depends on the customer, Im charging no less than 2.80 per metre just now for erection only,

Cheers Tim that's who I've bought it from, with delivery and nails and two gas canisters, just under £320 Inc VAT, Really sold by the fact I can work paslode gas canisters and nails, I've a merchant near me who gives good discount that stocks paslode, Looking forward to getting it ,and can't wait to see the difference it makes time wise putting up rails,
-
The price of a paslode is hard to justify just wondering if the Hitachi is good value for money,
-

I hire a wrag chapper I really like it and have yet to do find a unsuitable situation for it.

I've not long taken delivery of the 360 echo, a really cracking wee saw so far so good for the echo brand.

Im just doing a fence just now and have to strainers driven in across a concrete pad unfortunately being unable to remove the old strainers I have had to drive in the new ones, as close as I could to the old ones, meaning the gap is now 12 ft 9 inches, for a 12 ft gate, so how do I fill the gap it's right in front of the house, and a post and rAil fence,
-
When I had it the way I dealt with was if I was having a bad day I would just write it off, and then hope tomorrow would be better, That was a very simple way to deal with it but in that frame of mind you need to have those wee goals, I know you are never cured it could return at anytime, but if it does I have a loving family to help me deal with it,

What's the difference between light and hard? You can sleep with a light on.

"Well mu lord, we had a fantastic day great ceremony , fantastic meal, and everyone was enjoying the day, until he ( pointing at the groom ) ruined it." Go, on , said the judge, " Well , I was dancing with the bride, she was looking radiant and gorgeous, and as we were dancing, the groom got up from his seat, took a gulp of his whisky, and then ran up to the dance floor, and kicked Patricia( the bride) square between the legs, that's when all hell broke loose" The judge replies " I'm not surprised, that must of really hurt the poor woman" The best man says " hurt her?, it broke three of my fecking fingers"

A boy is up in court for stealing a bicycle, he is asked to give his version of events, " well, your honour, I was walking home from school with Suzy, we were talking away when /notice I her taking her beautiful blonde her out of its hair band, She then asks if I fancy taking a shortcut home through the woods, so she gets off her bike and pushes it through the woods, it was a hot day and Suzy starts to unbutton her school blouse, and suggests we stop for a minute, so we stopped and Suzy throws down her bike, then she says she likes me a lot, and she then takes off her school blazer, unbutton her blouse and takes down her skirt, and panties , then she says I can have anything I want, Well, the blazer wouldn't fit me, and the skirt and knickers are for girls, so I thought **** it, I'll take the bike,

To be fair it's not much of a fence, as it is.
