Branches Growing over my Neighbour's Boundary

You'd better give the Arb Association a bell too, Mark and let them know. -
Stein utility pole kit spring replacement
Dan Maynard replied to Cactusjack1993's topic in Maintenance help
If you measure the wire with verniers and overall length you can buy springs here https://www.assocspring.co.uk/looped-ends.html -
My dad repaired the cracked crankcase on his Dolmar 112 with fibreglass in about 1989 and the repair is still good. Dropped it out of a tree, one of the few times I can remember hearing him swear out loud.

If you are determined to buy a bar, I wouldn't go .050 on the battery saw, bigger cut must mean less battery life. The mains one will surely have the power to run .050 though, why not just stick it on and run that? No point throwing away a perfectly good bar. Change next time.
-
I have never heard of people using these devices for tree work, seems a bit of a funny kit to be honest.
-
Do you not do pre-delivery check then? Each saw I've bought from a dealer has had the bar and chain fitted at the time.
-
I also find less leaking if you fill up after use before putting away, you let the pressure out of the tank and add cold (thicker) oil.

I've got a steel Honda that's over 20 years old. Plated over the corrosion about 5 years ago, can keep going like this for ages - advantage of steel I guess.
-
Just needs to squeeze down the door seal enough, if it's made of steel would have thought it would be fine as the door never gets that hot. Have a go, if it doesn't work stop putting logs on and try something else when it's cooled down.
-
I'd probably keep the LPG and supplement if you can, there will be times like when you get back from holiday or if you're ill that you just want to press a button and have heat.

Search threads, whether poplar is worth milling is a regular question and it does have uses.

Ukraine, and we're still in the ripples in the global supply chains from COVID. China lockdowns, containers in the wrong place, Germany lockdowns, etc etc.

I just put an old t-shirt under it. Battery saw will probably drop some oil too.
-
I was just going to say that, Stihl saws patchy online but our local dealer had plenty when I was last in.

Steve's introduced badges on everybody's profile, need to get them turned into medals we can wear on our chest.

I use the Bahco but string pull, it's really good. Will be interested to hear how you get on.
-
Less important than the state of the chassis, I would say.

Concerns as to if we will have business suitable vehicles to run....

Seem to do a proper hardtop van too. -
I have a customer who sent their Siemens drive away to a firm called Kontroltek who repaired it, they specialise in industrial automation but might have a look at your board if you sent a photo. It's probably simple stuff to them.

Just to be clear, when I do that I hit the page I linked in first post but that was updated 2014? I'm getting in over my head as I initially thought the answer was an easy 2 years but not quite sure that's true any more. I see in 2014 page that consent for works to a TPO tree defaults to 2 years, but also the response to a S211 is not and should not be treated as consent. So does that also default to 2 years if they give a response but don't mention a time? Why would Cambridge council bother to mention 2 years but other councils not? I guess in the for the OP boils down to getting the contractor to sort it out anyway.

Well, the best I can find is under the TPO section the local authority to _may_ set a time limit if it thinks appropriate. Most of the time I don't get a decision letter to be honest, but I have found one in my inbox which does have a timeframe in the letter. If you don't have it mentioned then I don't think you have an expiry date. In practical terms I don't think you have any chance of the council coming back and changing their mind and saying the trees now need a TPO so no need to reapply. In any case if you use a good tree surgeon they will know who to contact at the council and just check, worth a phone call I would have said.
-
Yes, the permission does expire after 2 years. This is the definitive page https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tree-preservation-orders-and-trees-in-conservation-areas I have noticed that the 2 years is only shown under the option where the authority does nothing within 6 weeks, but if they sent notice of not objecting then I think the expiry date will be in that letter.

Seems £150ish? If you are determined to get a cheap saw why not buy a Stihl MS181? Few quid more but guaranteed to be able to get spares for it even in 10 years time.
