We where not offered a blood test unfortunately. Just a through the mail gag test. This was personal choice and not a requirement. But as we where locked down for 2 weeks anyway why not? I wish I had a blood test as if I had antibodies Id get a 6 month exemption from quarantine when back in Norway. I arrived in Stavanger this evening for my 4th isolation. Sick of it.

As I said, any empirical evidence is instantly dismissed and retorted with “someone somewhere is still poorly”. As if that’s an actual argument for this nonsense. It’s a complete crock.

Did you read my first comment? The vast, and I mean vast majority of C-19 deaths are the old and/or infirm who would most likely have died within a very short period of time anyway. Next in line is folk who already had conditions that seriously exasperated the effects of The Big Rona. Yes, some vulnerable people need to consider isolating , the old, the fat and the weak. The vast majority of the population needs to be allowed to get back on with it. Empirical evidence has been cleverly manipulated in such a way that with C-19 it’s now rendered nul and void. But for what it’s worth my daughter caught it coming back from Malta and gave it to the rest of my immediate family. That’s my other 3 daughters, myself and my wife. All confirmed to have it and all isolated for 14 days. Nothing more than a cough for the missus and nothing for the rest of us. It’s all a complete crock.
-
They where all gonna peg it anyway. In fact Englandshire was counting any deaths, regardless of how they died if they have confirmed C-19 within the last 6 months. It is a crock of sheet.

Last time I had wasps there was a whole wall full of them. When you banged the wall the bloody thing vibrated with the number of them. You could actually see the flying line of them coming in and the line flying out for quite a considerable distance. I suited up with one of these all-in-one white suits, taped up the cuffs and sprayed and sprayed the hole they where coming out with over a series of days. They where super angry and kept on coming in and out. Eventually killed them all though. Id be tempted to put a bin bag, or even a tent over the end and gas the buggers out.

WOODLANDER LOG LOADING RAMP & WINCH KIT
trigger_andy replied to Tippin Alaybye's topic in Milling Forum
If you're off 1/8" and thats one click of the handle then I'd put money on that being the issue. I'd not worry about it either if you can pass it through a planer in 2 years time. The amount of movement, ie cupping, warping, cracking you'll be getting during the drying process 3mm will be neither here nor there. -
Looks like a nice piece. Whats it reclaimed from? Is the last pic of it set in resin? How thick are they?
-
Im yet to put a coat on. The missus has been plastering around it and painting the walls. Will make a start tomorrow.
-
Yeh, kinda like that. This is mine.

A mate has a good Oregon one that he uses for his 404 harvester chains. I used to sharpen my 48" chains on it til I bought the 12v Grandberg one. It was great and very easy to avoid case hardening the chain by just taking a slight kiss off the teeth. If you hit metal and need to take more meat off the teeth then just do so bit by bit. Common sense stuff really.
-
You'd think the Farmer would have mentioned that when the Op called him about the Oak removal?
-
40-70kg is quite light really. Asmall 2 wheeled cart would handle that easily. Easy to make as well, just a couple of Trailer wheels, an axle and a sheet of Ply etc on the top. I have something similar I got for nothing that carts my beams around with ease.

Having looked into it a bit it seems like the RHI payments for a single home use are not related to fuel consumption. I could be wrong though? It seems like I’d get £12,000 back over 7 years, on a system that would cost £20-23,000.
-
Sounds like you’ve got a cracking set up! Well jealous. I can see how what you’ve set up will work when you’re providing heat for three households but bring it will just be for my home I could not justify the huge outlay to emulate what you’ve done.
-
I swear by Danish Oil. I've just installed a mandle in my daughters bedroom thats what I'll be using.
-
There's enough busybodies out there that's for sure. Advertise on FB or whatever and Im sure they will come creeping outta the woodwork reporting folk. Ive also noticed that to get the RHI for a new Log Burner you have to buy your logs from a Woodsure supplier. Not sure how they police that but I assume you have to provide reciepts to prove you're buying them to get your cash back. Thats kinda scuppered my plans for that unless there is a way around it? I must have anout 50m3 of logs split ready for the instalation next year and if I cant use them then I'll not bother and just keep burning them in the Stove/s and the Ironheart when I come to install that.
-
Only if selling under 2m3. You can still sell unseasoned logs to the customer after Feb 2021 above 2m3 legally.
-
Now thats a great idea! I have a Stihl Backpack one that would be perfect for that. Normally on a drive home the Mill self cleans though.
-
we use it off-shore for cleaning electrical connections before the termination is ran into the Well. I mill a bunch of Stika and just use washing up-liquid. Sparkly clean blade every time. Way cheaper too.

No, it’s a semi-temp solution for the drainpipes coming off of the roof. Currently the roadside drain is collapsed so the Septic is having to be pumped out to the back of the property with a pump and flat switch. All the stone drains for the down pipes where choked full and with the roadside drain being blocked there was nowhere for the rainwater to go either. So the lads put a pump with a float switch in with a chamber to handle the rainwater will the Council pull their fingers out. (Two years and counting)

It’s quite a fun day out. My 2 year old loves going around the garden looking for treasure. We’re getting a bunch of drainage and landscaping done just now so lots of fresh turned over topsoil to check over.
-
I know. I’d rather have good second hand gear than new and inferior.
-
Luck of the draw really. Like many things I buy it was second hand. Cost me £100.

Ive always fancied getting the Mr Bill Mods done to my IDX Pro but I hardly ever use the damn thing. Ho straigh forward is the Mod? Ive seen some pictures but not sure what components Id need. I guess you need a steady hand with the old Soldering Iron? Being that I have the Pro I believe it has 30% more depth over the IDX Classic. So might not be required anyway?
-
Ive got a Whites IDX Pro. Not found much, or had much time to look but as we've been getting some drainage work done in the garden we had it out for an hour last night. Found a Musket Ball, a few 1850's to 1930 coins and an old Whistle.
