Landowners responsibilities and Liabilities
roys replied to drinksloe's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
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. -
That looks like some nice engineering.

Always up for a beer Chris, cheers

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.

Very doable for a sparky, hopefully tomm156 is close by -
That made me laugh Kev

Recently got a CK head torch, great bit of kit, 2 brightness setting and beam adjustment.

What about the simplified ratchet strap type thing, the same sort that you get on trail cams
-
Cheers Mike, I'll have a look. Still might make one out of a 47kg gas cylinder.

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
-
Also remember that you will need to add about 30% onto a final winning bid to cover VAT and seller fees.

Sadiq Khan calls for ban on Wood Burning Stoves and Fires

That pallet mountain is "proper" -
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.

Ah yes off course, that makes sense. Cheers

Please excuse my ignorance, why must the towing pintle be locked for road use?

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.

Even although I hate those messy noisy birds, that is a very nice piece of work, well done.

Hi Paul, that would be great to get a set of pics. I did get the mower back together but there was a couple of parts missing, which I had to guess the design of, and I am not convinced I got it 100% right as it wants to drive in reverse once it warms up, something must be expanding and driving the reverse flat belt. I am back in the workshop at the start of next week so I will have a look at main belt replacement for you. Cheers
-
Yes that's what I'm talking about

Yip get that as well Gary. My head hurts, in my head head hypothetically (as I wouldn't do it) it would work if a knot was tied at the bottom of the U as then each leg as well as the exact bottom of U, or half way point is now independent. Dont think I am explaining myself very clearly, sorry gents.
-
Yip I get it that each leg is taking 1/2 the load, but at the exact pivot, or half way point there isn't 2 legs, there is only the one point taking all the load.
-
I am overthinking this, can someone please tell me where my thinking is flawed. I have the sling for example the one in my attached picture, where on a straight lift the SWL is 1 ton, but doubled over is 2 ton, so say we have a load of 2 ton, then surely if we take the exact part of the sling where it doubles back on itself, let's say the 6 o'clock position, at that exact point the fibre of the sling is in effect single and so is rated at 1 ton yet is still subjected to a 2 ton load. How can that be? Sorry if I have not explained it very well, perhaps I should not drink in the afternoon.:)

Steve, I would just buy a new capacitor, it is the most likely cause of the fault, it is cheap probably about £10, and easy to replace. If it still doesn't work then we can look at other possible causes. If you are unsure about a suitable replacement post up a pic of the details on the capacitor that is fitted just now, or bring it up to Scotland and I will sort it for you
