So everyone's exempt apart from folk on holiday? Seems like he got very lucky. When Im passing through Aberdeen Airport they seem to follow the rules a lot more closely. At the time you had to be on actually work duty, have a letter from your employer and also flying back outta the country back to your rotation within the next 14 days. Has he actually passed though customs yet or does he just think he's exempt because he seen his work title on the list?

Sounds fair enough to me. Not worth anymore Id say.

You said the 500i has not been designed as a Milling Saw. Is any saw designed as a Milling Saw?
-
My in-laws have just started the same thing. Supposedly they'll get just under a grand between them for the years worth of testing. Very odd.
-
Are any?
-
Who gets the stem? Thats gotta be worth £50-100. The branches Id expect dropped off for free.

Yes, the pipework will be running slightly up-hill, the upper one at least.(the lower will be at the same angle but running downhill) Its a gravity fed system, hot air/water rises, and cold sinks. So a cycle is created. Its self propelled.

It was when the Rayburn was installed, new motors and pumps 12 months ago. But originally the system was gravity fed and I wanted to go back to that. If/when we have a power cut I'll still have a cooker, a warm kitchen and hot water. The young lass will also have a warm room as well as the system needs one radiator to be plumbed in.

Bit of progress in the kitchen. Finally got the tiling finished a few days ago and the Esse into position on Wednesday. My Brother-in-law is a heating engineer so plumbed the Esse into the existing Hotwater tank as a temp measure until he installs the new 280l cylinder, (currently running a 100l) Had fun with the first burn of the Esse this afternoon and getting to know the controls, of which there is 4. Loads of heat in the kitchen now, oven heated up a treat and the hot water is scalding hot. So far very happy. Ive installed the extended wood burning box that supposedly once shut down will allow the Esse to burn for 12 hours. Cant see me getting anything like that but Ive only been burning Spruce in it this afternoon. Will have a play with some beech the morn. 7-8 hours would be great though.

More so than length?

Mine too. Do I invest or allow the expert to sharpen, set and check over my blades? I realise after a few years the Grindlux will pay for itself, but the wealth of knowledge sending them off to Steve is worth a alot as well. A badly sharpened blade ruins two customers boards, not just one. Unless a £100 bargain pops up I'll keep sending mine ti 'steve.

How To Remove A Tree Stump - Infographic
trigger_andy replied to Artemis Tree Services's topic in General chat
Would not impress me in the slightest to be honest. Id most likely not book a company that showed me this when asking for details on stump grinding. -
I was milling a rather sandy Walnut last monday. Used the same band on the next log, wavey cut like you'd not believe. Changed the band, instantly fine again. Was cutting the maximum 24" cant as well.

Somewhat amusing you're comparing Arb work with MacDonalds employee's and not another recognized trade like a Plumber, Sparkie or an Engineer. Do you think those employed in the 'trades' get Over time on the weekends?
-
Id offer £200 based on the fact its you wanting the timber and the land owner not fussed about having it dropped.
-
Ah cool. Dave sorted me out with an ex-demo Makita. Used it for the first time making a Mantle for the kitchen.
-
Its a cracking Lintel though. a lot of character to it.

We’ve 6 fireplaces in this Farmhouse. Every damn one bricked up. ? As you say, the 70’s and 80’s have a lot to answer for. Started on my Daughters one as well. Nice sized Builders Entrance for an upstairs bedroom and a nicely lined lum. Three feet of crows nests and dead chicks. ? Still a work in progress.

Pics? What model did you go for?
-
The assumption you had them to begin with is questionable.
-
Saturdays always time and a half and Sundays double time. Anyone cheap enough not to pay this is not worth working for.
-
Its a blessing and a curse having such youthful looks.
-
Wait to you see the shooting range, the fishing stations and the wood working hobby rooms.

Was easier uploading the pics with the phone.

Ripping the Old Rayburn out to install a wood burning Esse Ironheart and to also knock the bricked up fireplace back out. So I thought I Mill a Floating Mantle to match. The Fireplace sticks out 1" so I got to use my Chain Mortiser to mortise out a 1" deep recess so the Mantle sits over the top of the 1" lip. Installed 4 x Floating shelf brackets to add support and a whole tube of CT1. Thankfully everything matched up and my measuring was spot on. Still needed a Sledge Hammer to bang the Mantle on though, needed a right battering. Ended up being 10” x 7” x 5’ 6”. Quite happy with it, not bad for a £20 log. [emoji3]
