  1. @Big J I've a 100M2 stone house in Brittany so similar size/climate, We've got a log boiler which does all the hot water and keeps the house between 18-20c all day. Since 1st Sept I've gone through 5.6M3 stacked. So I project I'll use around 15M3 in total for the year. Just an idea of the numbers if you were less of a big jessie! ?
  2. Any update on this thread? I assume the Kolibri mentioned is this one? Skylotec Kolibri Click Harness - Honey Brothers Ltd HONEYBROS.COM Skylotec Kolibri "Click" Harness 2D
  3. Ikea bags are about £2.........and last pretty well
  4. That's the situation I use mine for, i don't fancy my harness/pelvis holding the weight of the dodgy tree (should it decide to succumb to gravity) via my strop
  5. Get yourself one of these; from about 3.10sec in Ive got one, really good, you can regulate the pressure needed and just clip your Krab into it.
  6. Isnt the large heavy fly-wheel and paddles to push chip in fact rather old hat tech? My Old dosko seems to have these and is as old as methuselah
  7. No Mention of the fact that we found a foundation Garment capable of supporting a truly full-some set of fun bags in the lay-by and one of the crew snaffled it for their own amoral purposes..... I have my suspicions......
  8. It goes a truely impressive height when you blow the shoot off the top
  9. As somebody said, it may not have been the content of the political threads themselves, but all of a sudden you realise the company you have been keeping may not have been what you thought.
  10. All well and good on smaller items, but when we think of it as buying a new car, buying from your local Nissan dealer even though he's charging 20% more than than another registered dealer 300 miles a way is surely madness? Similar numbers in the OP scenario i think...
  11. Buy local even if it means a massive cost implication? Never understood the attitude....
  12. I used to work for an incredibly straight laced, shave every day, kinda guy. One time a job had to be delayed due to the presence of a very large (and obviously quite amorous) shire type horse in the field where we were supposed to be installing some post a rail. Upon relaying the days events back at the yard. He made everyone choke on their brew by asking "how many hands was it?" Was the sheer surprise of it coming from him.
  13. As my other half is involved in this kind of stuff in a general kind of way, she often re-assures in slow soothing tones (using very simple words) that the average Joe has nothing to fear. They spend millions researching ways of monitoring people and finding ways to trap or con them. They are not likely to risk exposing their secrets by snooping on @Ty Korrigan's grinder history or whether or not you ordered an extra Naan with your korma. Mind you....i don't understand much of what she does, she could easily be in on the scam.....she is a bloody foreigner after all.
  14. prussic and a pulley on any bollard to pre tension
  15. Any job where the customers NEIGHBOR has a cat. Nothing quite like cat poo on a rope.
  16. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Snowballs-Cooling-Underwear-Men-Small/dp/B00HLDUOQY
  17. Must be terrible to have money....
  18. Pretty much what you've outlined Also whether my new chainsawpants make my bum look big?
  19. Yea just look back a page or 2. Several posts incinutating that asking groundies opinions is a sign of incompetence.
  20. Seems to be a dislike for climbers communicating with the ground guy. I'm always asking my groundies opinion, doesn't mean I'm incompetent or incapable. It's a different viewpoint and a second opinion
  21. Means he's an online vampire
  22. Go on then, what's the attraction?
  23. I had a similar experience, although I have the advantage that ALL of my first attempts at plastering fell off the walls in great big plaques. The evidence has been destroyed!
  24. Nice idea for a new forum. I'm currently renovating a house in France where we have a 'carte blanche' to do more or less what we want. Most rules and regs are much more lax as the photo of us doing the roof demontrates!
