  1. Am the organizing secretary of "The Adventurers" environmental club in our estate. We are planning on going on a trip. Among the activities we have listed to undertake are camping and holding tree climbing competitions.However, the latter aroused mixed reactions from the members. Has anyone tried this before? We need your advise please.

  3. I have a crab-apple tree population but of lately, i noted that the tree branches are brittle and i found some peculiar camouflage gray bugs like moths on the trees. I have tried several sprays but they just don't work. Can someone suggest for me the best solution?

    wood floor

    Am planning on building a new house upcountry. Several of my friends have suggested that i use a wood floor for my house. Am really confused since am afraid the floor may not be water proof. Does anyone have an experience with a wooden floor? Please advise me.

    new lorry.

    Am a wood caver supplying several industries with large amounts of wood. Ever since i began the job, i have been renting lorries and it's proven to be quite expensive. I've always wanted to acquire my own lorry to make everything more efficient and i can't wait any longer. I want a lorry at least 16 meters long with a relatively great carrying capacity. Can someone help me acquire one please?
  6. hello everyone, i recently landed a contract with a construction company that need to be supplied with wood. The contract is likely to last more than six months. I need equipment such as stump grinds and wood chippers among so many other equipment. My question is whether it would be more advisable or appropriate renting the equipment or purchase my own. Thanks in advance.
  7. First thing you should consider is proper fencing for the security of your property. Then plan the space properly for the perfect general appearance. You should also have a rough picture in mind of how you want your yard to look like. This shall the force that will drive you towards achieving a nice yard. Obtaining advice from friends and family is a plus. They know you better than you think they do, and can be of great help on this.

    logs

    When the demand for logs in your country is low, you can consider exporting large quantities to other countries where the demand at that moment is high. However, you need to do enough research on such countries and understand their policies concerning the imports they allow in; quantity and quality.
  9. It's just easy. 1. Choose a flute size 2. Choose a tube: (sizes in mm) The Flute Tube The length of the tube is roughly decided by the flute’s low note, which is also its “key.” The longer the flute, the lower that note. This measurement is for the flute interior only--in other words, from the open end of the tube, up to the stopper. The inside diameter (I.D.) of the tube--the distance between the tube walls--must vary with the length, for the sake of range and octave tuning. Longer tubes should be wider. For a simple flute, the best ratio of I.D. to length is about 1 to 23, or 4.35%. A wider tube than that will favor low notes, and a narrower tube will favor high notes. This measurement too is shown in the table. 3. Clean the tube up: - The wall thickness of the tube is important mostly because it determines the depth of the finger-holes. - A thin wall helps volume, tone, range, and octave tuning. Aim at 1/16 inch (1.5mm) to 1/8 inch (3mm) for most materials, and never thicker than 5/32 inch (4 mm). Step 4: Metric ruler in millimeters pencil thin stick (to find the exact depth of the tube stopper to place the mouth hole properly) burning tool: I use double headed nails driven into a wooden dowel handle (a piece of old broomstick will do), and then cut the top head off with a hacksaw. gas camp stove sharp knife Step 5: cheap electronic instrument tuner: I am using a and a. hacksaw with 10” blade and 10 teeth / inch (rotate the tube as you cut to keep from knocking splinters out of the bottom edge of the tube) Step 6: measuring chart good metric yardstick in millimeters burning tool gas camp stove sharp knife electronic instrument tuner (or a good set of ears) Step 7: damp cloth fine sandpaper hemp twine beeswax natural furniture polish or oil (olive, walnut, orange) [/size]
  10. Personally, never experienced such a shock. Growing up, i used to pay frequent visits to my grandparents living upcountry and i'd get involved with such activities but never at any single time did i experience such a shock as the one you mentioned.
  11. From real life studies, a great percentage of chainsaw operatives who do not wear filter facemasks end up suffering from Farmer's Lung. This is a serious allergic disease caused by inhaling dust from moldy hay, straw or grain. It's symptoms include chronic coughing and increased shortage of breath.
