  1. Much the same as Dan, got a Charnwood 16kW, gives me my heat and hot water, think mine is about 11 years old now.
  2. Nice garage doors?
  3. Fantastic work that, I don't have an artistic bone in body, so I can only look on in wonderment.
  4. roys

    Regrowth.

    Smart as buttons that is.
  5. Cheers Steve, me and computers often struggle?
  6. Steve I added some kit to it last year, from what I remember I couldn't add pics even although there appeared to be the option. Is it a disabled function or was I just being stupid as usual?
  7. I have in the past made benches out of 4x4 posts with 4x2 or 6x2 timber (whatever was surplus at the time) between them to frame them up. For the top I have used kitchen work tops or fire blank doors, been lucky in the past by going to the back of builders merchants and finding a bashed one that has been rejected, asked inside and they are usually happy for you to remove it. This is my current one which isn't home made?I quite like my most used tools on a board at the back of the bench, with a screw or bracket for each tool, I hate peg boards though, but every one is different.
  8. Sorry I know a good belt and bearing place but it is in Central Scotland. I have a Wessex flail mower and I took in the old belts and they matched them up, worked a treat and at a fraction of the cost.
  9. Where in the country are you? Does your current belt have any visible numbers on it?
  10. Good reply by Jules, just to add a little bit of my own experience, I have some land with trees, the previous owner didn't sign a wayleave and didn't allow power companies onto the land. As soon as I owned it I got in touch with the power company wayleave dept. and informed them, they fairly swiftly sent out an inspector followed by a squad of guys who cleared the land under the lines, they were just about touching the bare 11kV line and they were touching an ABC. It is now inspected regularly and light clearing done about every 5 years I think. Scottish Power Wayleave guys were very good / helpful to deal with.
  11. That looks like some nice engineering.
  12. Always up for a beer Chris, cheers
  13. People who drop litter. People who don't pick up after their dog. People who think that that dropping cigarette butts on the ground is ok because it is not litter. People who drive in a 60 at 40 mph and keep driving at 40 when they reach a 30mph limit. People who are inconsiderate. I can go on but I might get boring.
  14. Very doable for a sparky, hopefully tomm156 is close by
  15. That made me laugh Kev
  16. Recently got a CK head torch, great bit of kit, 2 brightness setting and beam adjustment.
  17. What about the simplified ratchet strap type thing, the same sort that you get on trail cams
  18. Cheers Mike, I'll have a look. Still might make one out of a 47kg gas cylinder.
  19. Yeah but don't forget to add 30 odd % onto that for the VAT and sellers fees. Still a good deal if you were looking for a stove, I actually had a couple of bids in on different stoves but once it got to about 50% of the rrp I bailed out as I was only wanting it for my workshop
  20. Also remember that you will need to add about 30% onto a final winning bid to cover VAT and seller fees.
  21. That pallet mountain is "proper"
  22. Talking from no legal stand point or knowledge, but to me it sounds like the deeds are referring to the the financial owner of the property which in the case is the owner occupier.
  23. Ah yes off course, that makes sense. Cheers
  24. Please excuse my ignorance, why must the towing pintle be locked for road use?
  25. Solway Recycling just outside Dumfries make alsorts of plastic products including fence posts and they are not too far away from you, I was talking to them at the Highland Show earlier on in the year.
