hopfully its better than the stihl disc cutter. Absolute joke of a device. Rampant rabbet had more power.

not really, their state of compression can be effected in a very minor way by changing temperature. Not by compression!

if the pipe has water in it it cant be crushed. You cannot compress a liquid. basic physics.

just got a grinder attachment for our augertorque 3500. Not that we have many to do but it will pay for itself on the first stump.

get a mini digger with an auger, can then do fencing and grinding etc

when you paid from the bank, were you using an overdraft ? if you were then you are protected as you paid with the banks money not yours same as using a credit card.

Agree, and if it was a relative of mine raped I'd cut his balls off and rely on the good sense of an English jury to free me. The problem with rape, taking the emotion out of it, is that its a question of one persons word against another in a court of law. The femenists have unfairly skewed the anonimity such that the man can be tried in the press while the women is anonymous. Strangley if your a pakistani pedo taking part in gang rape you will be afforded anonymity though. None of this will change until we get elected judges, presecutors and grand juries to take charging decisions out the hands of the CPS. The people will then have their hands on the controls on justice rather than 2% of the population of lefty luvvies who know better then the rest of us. Same as brexit really.

only iveco have proper truck ladder chassis. The rest you know.

There is no magic formula. Look at what you make now of a typical job then multiply it up to do 5 of those jobs at the same time. Work out the costs /expenses and do the math.

yes its a grading bucket. The 600mm bucket from engcon comes with replaceble CAT teeth, again very well made compared to our sticklands buckets. The different geometry of the buckets is interesting as well, seems easier to fill.

the engcon bucket bottom left. much better than the old fashioned ones that came with the digger.

Scraping off a plot and came across a grotty pile of logs, on my own so glad of the grab to lift the minging sodden heavy yunts. Really liking the engcon have to say, makes life easier when scraping being able to match the angle of the bucket to the grade of the ground. The kubota just broke into double figures operating hours now, she is great. Can slew, curl and rotate at same time. Plenty of go in the girl.

pointless its clay.

Just use block paving, it will look nicer and you wont have to faff about with any trenches or drains. Make sure you get a decent depth of type 1 under it. put a slope on it of course then if you experience pooling pipe it off to the nearest ditch to flow away.

no they are not. no you wont. No such thing as 'automatic speed camera linked to central computers' You are probably confusing average speed camera's which actually ignore the speed and time you. These are VERY limited and wont effect 99.9999999% of local journeys. Just motorway reps. So choosing a DUV just to avoid these is somewhat extreme.

iveco do one. 7.2 tonner to get around all the paperwork.

Get there early, 6 am, drop tree into road / the weather did it. Call 101 and report it, tell them you are on site dealing. Any busy bodies show up refer them to 101 earlier. Or of course spend your hard earned.

do a search here for min-artic. they have train weights upto 11 tons on an old car licence and no operator or tacho required.

I'll make sure they specify welsh electric users only. I may turn up and demand some of my English tax that subsidises you welsh!

triple glazed are ok unless you are close to a road, they are very bad for noise. Had to take a whole front of house out at a new build and replace with double due the noise. It gets trappe din the 3 panes somehow...

undefloor isnt too bad but then again im in the trade. We wont be using a bore hole, long trenches with loops in. Minimal cost as we have a digger but any DIY'r could do if they have room.

couple points to consider. Efficiency of GSHP is upto 4:1 that is for every £1 spent on electric you get £4 of heating. Combi cant get anywhere near close to this. Second, you cannot get any subsidy for a combi boiler. They also need expensive contracts on them to keep the working. wont be for everyone, especially if planning to move or rent but if you are going to stay put for 10 years or more and have the spare cash its a winner.

Following on from the tesla thread. I'm in the process or sorting out the parents in law place as they are retiring shortly. They like most of the baby boomers have good half decent pensions. With the relaxing in the pension rules allowing more flexibility this is what im arranging for them to eliminate energy and heating costs. They live in a normal late 70's 3 bed semi south facing with decent back garden. 1. Roof insulated 300mm (done free by british gas) 2. Walls insulated (done free by British gas) 3. Decent double glazing - £6k 4. Gas central heating replaced with underfloor heating via ground source heatpump. £13k ( gov payment of £1300-2000 per year for 10 years) 5. Solar PV 6KW - £5k (using the hot water cylinder as a battery to heat up when excess solar available) 6. Off peak backup hot water heating. So the thick end of £25k in exchange for 20 years of no energy bills. If you add the heat pump subsidy it makes the £25k the same as if it were sat in a bank account at 5% for 10 years. We all know what old dears are like, worry about every penny. Wont put the bloody heating on and have a small fortune in the bank 'just in case'. I'm in the building trade and to be honest every house should be built like this but at the moment it has no value to the buyer or more importantly the bank so we don't bother. This really needs to change.

they burned through 1 billion in the last 3 months alone! As a new tech startup they have to get up and running. Elon has a good plan. He made the roadster to fund the P90 tesla, the P90 funded the model 3 mass production version. And the whole lot of that funds his space program. He has orders or more than 5000 per week yet is only managing to prudce a fraction of this. He has a lot of german automotive robots coming to get the production line up and running. Lets face it if any of the big 4 can crank out normal cars at this rate which are much more complex then he will be able to as well - just needs to get the infrastructure and people in place. We will be seeing the traditional dealer network disappear along with most of the garages as they arent needed for electric. Soon as there is a car available that can do 200miles sat at 80 with heater on and can be rapid charged to another 160 miles range in 20 mins then the death of fossil motors will be here. It will bring back a resurgence of the local mechanic just to look after the running gear. No expensive black boxes all over the place to keep the engine working.
