  1. Just had a look too, a very limited range. No Boiler option from what I can see either. Woodwarm seem to have stopped Boilers too.
  2. Makes sense. I guess you could make a skirt underneath and screw everything together from below? How do you get the angles right for the legs? Ie where they cross?
  3. How fit are you? I cant imagine and internet sales type job being very physical so I assume you'll be going to the gym regularly? Even if you are I think you'd get a wake up call as to hard and physically demanding Tree work is. You'll be wearing you body out at an age where people are already at the top of their game and have their tickets, tools, contacts and knowledge already in place, in an already over saturated market. By the time you even get remotely close to that you'll be a broken man. If you're still really keen Id suggest taking a 2 week holiday from work and do the two weeks working with a crew and get them to run you as hard as they would if you where actually working for them and then see how you feel about it all. One day here and there is just a jolly and would mean nothing.
  4. 8 man Container Cabin in West Africa with 7 'locals'.
  5. I like that a lot! any chance of a pic from under the top? Id like to make something like this myself and would be handy to see how you joined the legs to the top.
  6. In my opinion it looks horrid. I cant see why anyone would want to try and recreate what looks to me like lazy work? Adze yes, but not this. Just my 2c.
  7. I like a bit of smoke on my BBQ. Really depends on how you use the Wood. A select few, bark free chunks smoldering on the coals is fine. Keep the vents partially closed and the chunks dont get the oxygen to ignite. I use a BBQ Guru to control the air on my modded BBQ. Dont soak your chunks in water, its a waste of time. Tests with dyed water have shown how little the water penetrates even after 24 hours. Chips of wood are great to enhance flavour when sprinkled directly over the coals, so again not cold smoking but either direct or indirect heat from the coals is cooking your food via infrared radiation. Same applies to chips as chunks inasmuch that the control of oxygen will stop the chips busting into flame. Dont soak these either, you're just killing the temp of the coals by dousing them in cold water. Use your vents to control the flames. Dedicated Smokers are again different, you get various designs but they can be loaded up with big old chunks of wood and indirectly hot smoke your food. I only use logs when Spit Roasting (oi oi oi) a pig or piglett and thats really just to get a good bed of embers going. Bark's not an issue in this instance.
  8. You do realise an on-line Troll is not someone with a differing opinion to yourself, right? If that was the cased you'd be considered a Troll for many here too.
  9. Hows that working for ya? Everyone's calling you a Bellend.
  10. No, you wont refer me to bigtreedons because he's not on here calling other people idiots and he actually known what he's talking about in this line of work.
  11. You really seem to struggle with your and you're don't you? Makes you look like a retard especially when you're taking the piss out of someone else for a supposed lack of intelligence.
  12. Not a single full stop. Impressive.
  13. Just as well there's plenty left, huh?
  14. What do they all run on?............
  15. Have they? I still see it in the stores, Tesco even.
  16. I actually think he just speaks shite to the grass for a few hours till it withers and dies. A kind of Grass Suicide.
  17. No, the word you're in this context is absolutely correct and you are yet again 100% wrong. Your (correct context) research is utterly worthless. You have zero education, training or experience in this field and base your 'research' on spurious internet searches. Seriously, stick to putting petrol (irony intended) in your mower and move on. And if everything works out the way you predicted why are you pushing a Mower around instead of living the high life in the South of France on a Yacht with a bevie of Beauties? Surely you'd have shorted the market and become very rich, but no, you scratch a living and as sure as shit you'll say its just the way you intended. Utter buffoon.
  18. Me neither, but its a line that I do like to keep in the mental tool kit for retards.
  19. Its a Ricky Gervais quote, I wish I could take credit for it. It does sum up Vesp rather well though.
  20. You're* But no, Im sure it will go way over your head but when an Oil Company Invests in a new Oil Platform they have done their homework and can foresee with a large degree of confidence that there is sufficient reserves to justify over a Billion Dollars of Investment. Johan Sverdrup alone will produce between 2.1 and 3.1 Billion Barrels of Oil on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, this is just one of the many new fields off of Norway. The Clair Ridge West of Shetland will produce 120,000 barrels per day. The shitty old Platform Im on just now, the Ninian South is almost rusted away yet will still produce till after 2040. I'll be close to retirement then and when decommissioning starts I'll have to pull all the Completions I installed and safely abandon the Wells. But yet again you have just shown how naive and ignorant you are when it comes to a skillset outside of your remit. Stick to Grass Cutting wee man.
  21. Still Drilling, New Platforms going in all the time. More oil, more Wells life is good. Guess its like cutting the Grass, in a way. We'll always need Oil and we'll always need men to perform unskilled Manual labour like cutting the Grass. Circle of life and all that, we need people at the bottom rung as well as the top.
  22. When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful & difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.
  23. You seem to know a lot about Arb work for someone who cuts grass for a living.
