  1. Morning all, Fine weather day looming. "Day off" today. Helping a friend collect some demolition joists, levelling topsoil next door for young neighbours lawn project, taking out 3 dead yews in a hedge and replacing them with large pot grown ones for a customer. I'm happy - I woke up this morning, some won't do so again. Stay safe, have fun all.
  2. Morning all, Dry here, off to a couple of small jobs a couple of miles apart. Have a good day all.
  3. I have no experience of the models you refer to, but I have a HSA 100, using the AP batteries. It is incredibly good and the battery lasts for ages on a charge.
  4. Morning all, Blue sky and dry here. Nice straightforward job today.
  5. Morning all, Day off today, which by chance coincides with the one rainy day forecast for the week. Fine by me, don't want to work in the rain.
  6. Morning all, Grey and dry here. Week looking ok weather wise, so might catch up on some overdue jobs now.
  7. Not quite morning all, Blue sky here and week ahead looking good weather wise. We can live in hope.
  8. Did it all get chipped or was some kept as timber?
  9. Morning all, Thank crunchie it's Friday (remember that ad?). Bit of office work, then weed control with the sprayer. Have a good weekend all.
  10. Morning all, Rain just starting here. Doing a couple of simple fells next door, with shelter close to.
  11. Morning all, Overcast but dry here. Working next door, so quick run to shelter if clouds burst.
  12. Morning all, More rain due in soon. Sorting out climbing and lowering kit for Loler then whatever odds and sods need doing in the sheds. Stay dry where possible.
  13. I changed the blades on my Husky out front mower yesterday. Put it on cut level 4, like I have been doing so far this season - absolutely scalped the grass, had to put it up to level 7. I think I had put them on upside down when I sharpened them in January. I struggle to see how they had cut as well as they did the wrong way round, but nothing else explains why I had to revert to a higher cut setting, that being the one I used last year.🙈
  14. I connected the battery on my Countax mower the wrong way once. It blew the printed circuit board. Why it has a pcb is beyond me. Replacement pcb failed after 3 months. Simple basic wiring mod and hey presto, no need for pcb. Only thing lost is a functining hour meter.
  15. Morning all, Dry here, so will do some odd jobs outside. Have a good day, be it rest or work.
  16. I know there have been some not so positive comments about Northern Arb Supplies, but I have never had an issue with the other part of the business, Saturn knives when my chipper blades go in by courier for sharpening.
  17. Morning all, Day off today, out to lunch with my sister. Had the heating on last night, crazy climate. Have good weekend.
  18. Morning all, Drizzle here, so doing odds and sods in the yard. Plus drinking coffee of course. Stay dry all.
  19. I hadn't realised that France had been as badly affected by the extreme rainfall that we have had.
  20. Morning all, Bloody boy band weather again Wet wet wet. Office work, a site recce, and getting some pressure washer hoses made up for the mewp.
  21. Two nuns were sharing the bath to save on water. "Where's the soap?" say one. "Yes it does, came the reply".
  22. I wish more potential customers would ask to see copies of insurance certificates. I always attach mine to to the email I send the quote with. I live in hope it would root out some of the gypo/cowboy types. But then again, there are those punters who just want cheap cheap cheap, regardless of risk/liability.
  23. Yep, if they won't pay what it is worth then away it goes by whatever means is most expedient for the current owner of the "waste".
  24. Morning all, Another fine day looming here, but rain tomorrow. Nice gentle day today cutting back neighbour's low hanging trees to stop me getting scalped when mowing. Stay safe and have fun.
  25. Very belated good morning all, Lazy start back to work. Have taken on elderly neighbour's mowing and shrub maintenance. Ideal rehab day on out front ride on, with steering wheel knob, so can use one handed.
