    Utter BS. You also seem to forget others on here live in Scotland as well. A quick FB Marketplace or google search will bring up loads of hits on folk offering power washing services all over Scotland. Same as gutter and roof washing and of course window cleaning. You’re not even a Jack of all trades master of none. You’re a chancer of anything you think will earn you a few pennies and then seem to move on to your next hair brained idea that will earn you this fortune you so desperately crave. Why after you spent £5000 on a stocks and shares course you’re still trying your hand (and failing) at different manual jobs instead of letting the stocks work for you is a clear indication of what a total BSer you are.

    Window Cleaning is a trade now is it? Heard it all now. 🤣

    On a website like that I’d expect to see driveway tarmac on there as well.

    4” posts in a 3-6’ foot fence for me. Corners and strainers 6-8” 3’ deep for 6’ and I’ve been chapping them in 30-36” as well. Just as well I’m getting Larch so cheap! [emoji16]

    Its good to voice concerns over certain kit and you've taken all the criticism on the chin. I think its a bit unfair to say that the issues you've had are entirely your fault. Perhaps Low-pro with a 120cc Saw is still in the trial and error stage? Perhaps it will die a death soon? Im gonna give it a bash in the full knowledge I'll have to take it easy and will most likely run into issues. I need to be milling later this week and there is no .404 bars available ti at least the 10th and even then it could be later. I'll report back and see how I get on. And I'll be using a Winch as well, I dont agree that you loose that much feedback with them. Since Robs being heralded as the Alaskan Guru here and he uses them thats good enough for me.

    I’ve just ordered the 64” Low-pro bar and 80” Panther Mill. Will see how I get on. [emoji16]

    100%.

    Good luck with your Mill.

    There are unfortunately too many instances when I wish we had a dislike button as well as the like one. Perhaps our magnificent Mr Bullman could facilitate this ? That would be great! Good idea.

    I’ll happily come. But as I said, it’s £1000 a day. I’ve limited time available. Or offer someone else a day rate, or get someone like Stephen Cull in? Or live with some slight marks in the timber? Many folk have offered you lots of suggestions including myself which was often ignored which then proved to be the issue. Your choice to ignore it though.

    Be sure to post the pictures up. Oh, and perhaps the quote too. Since window cleaning pays so well I expect to see over £45 an hour for Labour alone......
  12. trigger_andy
    Yes

    £4K is cheap for a mill that cuts 30” wide slabs. It’s half the cost of the next mill that does the same job. Corners have to be cut and it’s not rocket science to think you need to add Nylock nuts or attempt to add more torque to a band etc etc etc

    It’s really not a difficult piece of equipment to set up. I had wavey cutting issues with my mill when I first got it and went through everything repeatedly. Turns out it was just crappy Blades. As soon as I went to Rippers problem solved. Every issue you’ve had to date has been user error. You don’t need to be an “engineer” to set up an over-sized mechano set-up. Just the ability to follow simple instructions and interpret when logical upgrades or improvements would help when you buy such a cheap Mill. If you “just want to be milling timber” then I don’t really see any other options left to you than offer to pay someone’s time to do the job for you. Personally it would not be worth my time for less than £1000. Some guys might be less, but since you’ve asked repeatedly for someone to come free of charge and had no takers perhaps an incentive is your next step if you and your HGV mechanic still can’t figure it out.
  15. trigger_andy
    I know you've asked for someone to come and do the setting up for you but I think you're gonna have to just bite the bullet and pay someone to come out. Stephen Cull used to do visits, not sure if he still does but you'll maybe have to just resign yourself to the fact you dont have even basic mechanical skills and factor in a fee of something like £1000 to get this fixed for you, by someone here or a search on the internet.

    That buggers stole my Condoms again!

    He's gone from claiming he cleans windows 7 days a week to one week a month now. He cant keep up with the BS he spouts.
  18. trigger_andy
    Utter nonsense. Loads of Window Cleaners have been using Reach and Wash for at least 15 years in Scotland.
  19. trigger_andy
    Every town must have about 40 window Cleaners. Most have moved over to reach and wash now. One or two 'specialise' in traditional window cleaning and make a point of polishing up the cills.
  20. trigger_andy
    Sorry.

    What does the Ram do with the other 6.1 seconds its waiting for you to load the next log?

    Certainly looks very quick! Whats the dimensions on that Cherry?
  24. trigger_andy
    It’s smooth enough just to get the sander on it. 🤣 Imagine expecting a planed finish off of a Band-saw? 🤷‍♂️
  25. trigger_andy
    We’ll have to have a “split-off”. 🤣 But I get a head start as you have more HP in your Starter Motor than I do in my engine!
