I'm a LEEA qualified inspector of lifting equipment to LOLER, but not specifically arb gear (usually catenary cableways, wire ropes, shackles etc etc) Has the guy stated why he will not inspect the rope? I sispect it is not the lay of the rope which is the issue, but the material (ie polyprop if I am right)

I may have misinterpreted your post, but are the 661 and the 592 not effectively the same size - ie c.90cc? I run my 066 with three bars for cross-cutting - 20, 28 and 36", of which the 28 is by far my favourite as the saw feels so much more balanced than with the other two. It runs the 36" OK with a full chain on it, though it is mainly softwood and poplar at that size of trunk round here. However, as soon as it is down to within range for the 28" then that is my go-to. For milling I currently use the 36" bar, but am thinking seriously about a lo-pro 42" with a skip chain as by the time the 36" bar has lost the usual 6" to the mill itself it is getting a bit tight on some of the logs.

If the average salary is around £34/35k then more than half the workforce will be below this as those with a higher salary can have significantly higher salaries - ie the distribution is not statistically 'normal'. Most people with salaries less than £35k are likely to be in a relatively narrow band between (say) £10k and £35k, whereas those above the average can go much higher. The greater the disparity in pay the more skewed the distribution becomes. For example, two people with a salary of £30k and one with a salary of £45k generate an average salary of £35k Whereas six people with a salary of £20k plus one with a salary of £125k give the same average.

HEIC or JPEG is determined by the camera settings on an iPhone From the main settings menu scroll down and select 'Camera' You will then be presented with a list of options, the top two of which are video related and the third is Formats Swipe/click on Formats and you get two options. HEIC (High Efficiency) or Most Compatible (JPEG) I think that your preferred option (ie selected) can be over-ridden depending on which video option is chosen

I suspect he is wanting to change from .404" to 3/8", both of which are .063"

No heat from Stove ( Jotul )
waterbuoy replied to Jack0's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Can't hekp but think that the bloody great hole in the register plate might be where a significant part of the heat might be going. How long do you have the stove burning for? We used to find that it could take a good hour or so for our old one to get up to temperature (A Vermont Castngs Defiant Encore), but you could then cook on the top of it. As others have said, if you are buring wood as well as it appears in the video then the heat has to be going somewhere and, if it isn't out through radiant heat, then it can only really be up. -
Quite spectacular, even by youtube standards!

I sooooo nearly posted that earlier but didn't want to look a muppet - I know very little about maintaining chainsaws, other than bar maintenance, chain sharpening and what I have picked up on here

Whilst I agree that it bodes well for the Union, I fear the fu**wit will only serve to run the country further into the ground based on his record so far, at a time when we need sensible leadership. I never thought I'd say this but maybe the country will see sense and vote in Labour at the next election - they can't be that much worse than the current holders of power in these parts? Another disappointing thing is that I suspect that Yousaf's govt will be more inclined to paper over the cracks that NS left behind, whereas maybe Forbes might have opened some of them up a bit further. Time will tell.

Include that as a column heading in the note book - name, start mileage, endmileage, checks and date etc. We do it for some of our equipment, especially when refuelling.

Just stick a note book in each vehicle and require the driver to fill in at the start and end of each journey?

If housebuilder went bust does the land not revert to 'The Crown' (or does that just relate to comapnies which have been dissolved)? If so then it might be worth contacting The Crown Estate.

Sadly I think that is wishful thinking.

You forget about the wonderful SNP up here!

Yes, so if you are an aboriculturist it appears to state in the second sentence that your opinion is sufficient to determine if it is 'an emergency' and falls within the exemption. Sorry but that is me maxed out on this one.

Remember that there is also an obligation on the LA to revisit their TPOs. If they have not done that for this tree, and it has been in poor health for a while............

See this document, esp Section 6 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/14956/tposguide.pdf Edit - beaten to it!

For some reason the youtube algorithm put this at the top of my recommendations today - I think our 15-yr old son may have been using my account! An oldie but a goodie:

If/when you replace it I'd consider buying one from Halfrauds. Whilst they may be more expensive than some, they do at least honour their warranty - I have had two batteries replaced by them under warranty, one of which was almost three years old.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that - wasn't there a relatively famous Russian guy who did that sort of thing until he (unsurprisingly) fell to his death? There was/is a whole raft of them that seem to climb up old cold-war installations etc. Similarly, whilst I agree that wind increases with altitude, I climbed the Matterhorn back in the early '80s and it was flat calm when we finally reached the summit. That was effectively a ifetime ago - just looking at that image made my stomach turn!

Ditto Whilst I realise the difference between a TPO and Conservation Area: We were wanting to take down 4 trees in a Conservation Area, two of which were dead and two of which had significant basal rot. We sent photos to the TO and told him we were planning to take down the trees as we believed they were exempt. He replied the next day to confirm that a Section 211 was not needed, and thanked us for the heads up. IMHO it does no harm whatsoever to keep in their good books!

I use a standard mesh/screen-type visor on the basic Husky lid - if it is really humid then specs can mist up, but generally I find that if I keep moving all is OK. Edit - much better than the alternative of getting sawdust in a contact lens

Thanks all and yes, will do - if I manage to mill it. I only have a Stihl 066 with a 36" bar (and ripping chain) but will see how I get on. I suspect it will actually be smaller that the 4' my father has stated, but happy to be proven wrong. If that is the case I'll bring it back north with me on the Ifor.
