  1. Spurious indeed. Cs29? 5 day course??? [emoji848]
  2. Go 3/8 standard. You shouldn't be snapping chains. Can you take some photos of the snapped links? [emoji106]
  3. [emoji12][emoji106]
  4. Epic stuff John. How thick are the boards? [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  5. Only used one very briefly, surprisingly light and quite torquey. Slower rpm cutting in the wood.
  6. Congratulations Andy, Whereabouts are you based? Sometimes I get asked to mill for a day and it's just too far. Nice setup. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  7. BBuiler I agree, good landlords do exist, but extremely rare. I apologise if you think I'm insulting you. Eggs, the 7k was 6 months rent in advance. A small 2 bedroom house in Brighton/hove is £650k and upwards. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

  9. ...
  10. Buy to let landlords are scum. We have more houses than people in the uk, yet massive homeless and housing problems. My family was made homeless in September 2017, when our letting agent decided to put our rent up by £300 a month. No other BTL landlord or agency would touch us, as we are both self employed??? Even though we had £7k to put down??? Buy to let? Don't be that c*** ☹️☹️☹️
  11. Dry it out properly first. That will stop any rot. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  12. As wonky said, get the silky out. Maybe clear from ground ish level up to 6'. Any new creepers, rip back and cut. Maybe get a picus test of the trunk? [emoji106]
  13. Get the resin out man! You've spent years hoarding these. Too good for firewood. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  14. For some reason my eyes are stupidly sensitive. When working as a welder, My colleagues kept asking if I was stoned? I had a permanent fuzzy headache and bright red eyes. After 6 weeks doctors told me never use a welder again. Cement/lime in the eye is nasty too. Had that removed by eye surgeon. Told me go straight home, as the anaesthetic will wear off shortly. No I said, I feel fine now it's out. I can go back to work? 1 hour later I'm at home eyes streaming tears. Burning eye socket. Yesterday cutting wood, wind blown sawdust caught me. Eyes were so red I thought they were bleeding. [emoji51][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  15. I find most 60cc saws weigh like a 70cc but cut like a 50cc. Get a 461/462/?72 Instead. Unless it's been past spud. [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  16. Shit! I know those trees! That's the level! I'd heard it was bad in 87 in Brighton, but I'd never seen the photos. Nice one Sean. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  17. I hope so as I've been doing that for over 18 months. [emoji106]
  18. Probably looked at a garage forecourt log bag at £4 and thought I've got a hundred of them. [emoji51][emoji12]
  19. My apologies it's not an extra toe it's webbed feet. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
  20. And an extra toe on each foot. (Really) [emoji12][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  21. I lived in this village for several years as a kid. Well worth a visit. In winter after several days of continuous freezing weather, the whole back outside freezes into a crazy ice palace.
  22. Has anyone seen the video of the water powered wood workshop? I'll try to find it. [emoji106]
  23. Age is a b****. My brain is convinced I'm still 25. My body is certified at 42. Only 26 years to go to retirement!!! [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji12][emoji106]
  24. I agree, That's why I'll be writing to them, as they suggested. It'll be a year or more before I can afford a tractor rig anyway. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
