Ah ok. As before, contact 3 reputable firms in your area to get a real cost. Anyone here can give you a make-believe price based on their own location and work load. Might not be a real reflection of what is the going rate of where you are in London. For example, my Brother removed a sub-6" diameter tree in North London for £600. The stump was not ground out. He was the cheapest quote. Took him an hour and chucked the whole tree in the back of his pick-up and burned it in his stove. Id hazard a guess at £2000, maybe more?

Its quite a high fence. He could peep over from any angle and not get caught.

How nice of them,..... If its in their garden and hacked back as good as it is: 1, why do you need it gone? 2, Why grind the stump out? Surely thats their problem?
-
This is the third thread you've started on this same tree. Must be some kind of record.

You'd use an Oregon Chain over a Stihl?
-
Im not much better, worse most likely? Could it be Cherry? Looks very dark for Cherry wood though. some nice spalting there, maybe save it from the Stove?

Does your processor use Chain oil? Im sure my mates uses hydraulic oil?

Treatment for scaffold boards for veg patch
trigger_andy replied to David Lawrence 88's topic in General chat
Burst Engine Oil mixed with ATF. I guess you've made your mind up but you'd be much better off with some Larch or even better Oak or Sweet Chestnut. Scaff Boards will last no time at all even with some kind of treatment, and the treatment for a veg bed will be be naff, its not like you'd wanna put creosote on them. -
I would, but I think he's banned now.

Every time I fire up a heater thats collected dust I just get the usual burning dust smell. Kinda like the mix between toast burning and an electrical fire. But surely every adult knows that smell?

Work up to some unexpected snow here in Stavanger. Gone now. [emoji3]

I think you've posted this in the wrong sub-forum. You might get more responses in the General? Or even follow on from the thread you started on that tree earlier? But I think the responses you'll get will all be along the line of get three quotes from reputable local firms and see what they quote.

Seems waaaay to much work. Do you have the means to make and break chains? If not then you'll need to not only buy the links but pay someone to do it then bugger up one of the chains to match the other. Buy a new 28" chain and either save the 20" ones for a rainy day or flog them and save yourself a world of needless grief. What does a £28" chain cost? £30? You could not pay me to do all that work for £30. I must have at least 10 milling chains I dont plan on using again gathering dust. Lifes to short.

Yeh, to tip the sawdust out of his Jigsawaws dust collection into. -
Looks like standard shop bought hi temp pipe to me? No sign of blistering or anything that would otherwise indicate the wrong paint? Maybe try sniffing it before you expect the smell to appear? I made the awful mistake one time of picking up the gun with Black Hight temp RTV Silicon instead of Fire Cement. Was amazed at how smooth it went on too. Til I lit the Stove.

All the wrong gear by the sounds of it. But you best not mention that in case you get labeled 'toxic' -
Can make some good 2x4" outta that I guess? Get some stickers too.

Mmmmmmmmm not made one of them in ages! I have a mini blow-torch just for that reason too!
-
You can buy one at any hardware store for about a tenner. Worth a shot and certainly no need to pay someone to come in and do the same job at 10 times the price. Plus you'll have a handy blow torch kicking around.

Hmmmmmm. Try heating the liner first, see if that helps.
-
What are you using to light the fire? If the flue liner is stone cold the air will be dense and heavy and not want to rise. One trick to try is fire-up a blow torch and heat the liner somewhat before lighting the stove. See if that makes a difference.

What is the binder? Have you tried real seasoned logs to see if that eliminates it?

Yes, different additives. Same fuel. Additives that will not make a blind bit off difference to a chainsaw. There is nothing in supermarket fuels that will harm any engine out there let alone a chainsaw. Supposedly better detergents in branded fuel, help with emissions and stop you failing the MOT. Never had an issue with this either. Ive done the MPG thing with both Supermarket and Branded diesel as well. The only time I seen a noticeable difference was with Shell Plus and BP Optimax. But then you’re paying that much more for it. Reading on-line this seems to be the general consensus as well. I’m not so forgiving with my right foot though. I’m getting 22mpg outta my Jeep whilst the missus gets close to 28. 🤣
