I had some success using petrol with a rag to get sign writing off. Still fiddly, but it speeds the process up.

Looks like a silverside husky in the box.

It’s oiling presumably?

We’re all one false move from this stuff. Hope you’re back to work ASAP. -
Cancel your subscription then.

It’s a brave man that puts a reduction up these days!

I didn’t know! Since I left the UK there’s this thing where you burn your shit wood in one container to dry the good wood in another, the government pays you apparently, kiln drying isn’t it?
-
So, the retort kiln is there to dry wood for high quality firewood?

I’m devoted to her, I don’t care who knows it. (except the wife, prolly best if she doesn’t find out)

Rebekah Vardy?

Well, have a look at the recruitment section of various sites. No offence, but you’re clearly a groundy, not a climber. Where are you based? What are you on atm? What sort of work are you doing? Sounds like Sunday night grumbling..

The document is on page three of this thread, but here you are..

Did you read it? Not being knocky, just asking

Back in the 60s/70s my dad used to coppice hazel at the weekends to get Christmas money, him and his mate would sell it to garden centres for bean sticks. Used a billhook, of which there are several sorts I believe.

Shear crack on large lateral Cedar branch
Mick Dempsey replied to AJStrees's topic in Tree health care
Joe Newton made a very interesting post recently about deadwooding cedars. He opined that it causes (or speculated that it does) along with the sort of thinning that occurs when we deadwood, branch failure due to altering the way the wind passes through the tree. -

I watch cedars in the wind and you get a lot of twisting, I’ll venture that’s what caused that crack. -
56 in a couple of weeks, loss of power and grip, but that’s normal at my age. Otherwise, pretty good compared to other blokes with sedentary jobs.

Yep, funnily enough I had an unusual thing this afternoon, out pricing. Storm damaged oak removal, days work. Mother, daughter and a rather truculent son (50 ish) Mother and daughter on board with a removal (pushing for it in fact) son clearly feeling emasculated that another man was coming to quote for ‘mans work’ kept needling me about price ‘too expensive’ Brexit ‘you better do it before you’re deported’ etc. Told him I was actually Irish and his attitude changed (which I may have to be if things get tricky) Difficult to keep my cool, but I want to get the job and lord it over him.

Sir, sir, here’s a good stick to beat the lovely lady..

I can’t help it...the heart wants what it wants. We would be like John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara in the The Quiet Man (only in Scotland, but you get the idea)

I fancy her. I can imagine us living in a crofters cottage in Auchtermuchty, wind howling round, holding her tight in my arms, the highland cattle lowing gently in the background, watching as we rut like sex starved red deer on a bed made of parsnips

What happened about the stumps on the ride widening?

Bold move.
