I’ve got 50 cubes to see the winter out. Thinking ahead me. [emoji16]

Ive got the same DeWalt twin pack. Ive only used the Drill a handfull of times but it feels miles better than my previous DeWalt Cordless Drill. The Impact Driver with its 178nm of Torque is brilliant. Rams in 6-8" Screws no bother.

When making Maple Syrup Iyou have to boil it down to condense it, this will of course condense the flavour. The sap will be clear, and will taste like water with a very slight sweetness to it. It will take a LOT of sap to make a little bit of syrup. https://www.instructables.com/How-to-make-Maple-Syrup/

Anyone have any idea what these are? Can’t find anything about them on-line. Growing at the base of a cherry tree in the garden.

No I won’t! 😆

I agree. App is easier on a mobile and that's all I ever use. It’s where I do most of my arguing. 😁

Not sure why you felt like you had to lie? Sounds like you’d have got the job being honest. “Of course” gives the implication you regularly lie to customers. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Only after he’s figured out where he can cut the root to dig past it I guess? A for Andy

I can’t say I’m looking forward to the app disappearing. I prefer it to the mobile version on my phone.

Regarding the hangover. Fusel alcohols are a huge contributor to your hangover. Neutral spirits such as Vodka and Aquavit (since you’re in Norway 😁 ) have little to no fusel alcohol (oils) hence the less severe hangover. The more flavourful the Spirit the more heads and tails are kept during the distillation process to retain the flavour of the ingredients. In this case the Malt and the Peat. Everythings a trade off. 🤣

It’s a wee cracker and at £30 a bottle well worth a lazy Sunday the day after. 🤣 Im meant to start my Beech Workbench tomorrow, we’ll see. 😁 The Beech is the first log I milled 5-6 years ago. So nice and dry and a bit spalted.

I feel left out Saul! [emoji16] Don’t let them get to you mate, you’ve a wealth of knowledge that (as you obviously know) I tap via WhatsApp. Different writing styles via an Internet forum can easily be misconstrued. You keep your posts short (potentially from writing via your phone?) so your own opinion might come across as abrupt. Don’t stress it.

Got this on a Tesco special today.

I keep meaning to tap my birch trees to make “maple syrup” I also keep meaning to pull the leaves of some of my oaks to make oak leave wine. One day!

I’ve had a few gushers in the past. And not to put Leslie out of a job I’ve seen a few on some Spring time trees I’ve dropped. [emoji16]

If they helped everyone who contacted them about 50 year old machines they’d never sell a new one. No to mention having to hire a team just to deal with all the enquiries. Nothing in it for them. The curse of over engendering. [emoji16]

Really? That is surprising.

The wife and kids have had it for 5 weeks. Now the wee ones have Hands Foot and Mouth. Never ending just now.

Milled a bit of Cherry. Not overly keen. Got this to mill soon. Will see what that’s like.

Agreed, seems popular but like Cherry I find them both quite boring.

E5 is Premium Unleaded. Shell and BP sell it in almost all their forecourts. Asda and Tesco typically don’t.

I’d give him six quid for it as well[emoji16]

Why cut the butt off if you’re gonna mill it? Seems a waste.

He’s not in a giant house share. Have you even read the info on the website?

I’m assuming this post is directed at me and not rhetoric? 😁 I get that side of things. I also help people out where I can. Someone I’ve had dealings with before popped over the other day and since he’s lost his job he’s asking for some off-cuts for firewood. I’ve given him 3 cubes of seasoned logs instead. He can come take them whenever suits. But in my mind that’s entirely voluntary whereas it’s apart of your contract, or at least a part of what you described as a strict vetting process to be allowed to join your commune that you must do this. If you don’t do this then (and again I’ll assume) you’ll eventually be turfed out. You’ve chosen this lifestyle but you cannot now chose to stop living a communist lifestyle otherwise you lose your room, or rooms. That to me feels like forced communism and that to me is all communism ever has been. You forgot to reply when I asked how many percent below market value you sold your house for.
