Off ya go again! I have a tow hitch..... 12mm thread, screws in to front of my van......... i’m being towed off........ cos ur boring me! Again!!!!

I read the subject..... have no idea on it...... so take a step back, read a little more, listen to comments of others (not yours) and try to grasp the concept of whats being asked or spoke about. From it comes criticism or resolve. For me i class it as a learning curve for myself. Obviously i cant comment on a lot of the stuff cos i have no clue, but i’m intrigued all the same, and willing to learn at the same time. HOWEVER..... you really dont help yourself, an answer on every eventuality, occasionally you have some really rational and genuine input, but other times (most of the time) you really do blow it out the park........... give it up!

Less of the damn!

He didn’t ?

Full DeWalt here, have 18v XR kit, drill, impact driver, planer, circular saw, grinder, jigsaw etc, no issues at all. I got the “XRP” drill though cos it has the metal gearbox, standard XR are plastic. Highly recommend though [emoji106] standard 12 month warranty on all plus accessories, but if you register them online within the first month of purchase then you get 3yrs warranty. That applies to some accessories too. Each and too their own tho.

I have a Stihl 026C and Stihl 018C both featuring the quick chain tension system. Never had any issues with mine, i’m not a pro and not a heavy daily user but the two saws have both done some work on the quiet. I have occasionally had to re-adjust the chain tension, but only ever put this down to chain stretch, as usually it is a good hour or so in to cutting with a new chain. Hope you get a resolve.

Euro star is looking good [emoji6] nice mini break, bit of site seeing, get a bit of ale on way back too [emoji108]

Sorry pal, cant really offer an answer other than...... [emoji15]?‍♂️[emoji110][emoji97][emoji97][emoji51]

No personal dealings, they’re practically on my door step and know of em but not dealt with them. James will know em and if your not 100% set on using ribble 4x4 James will prob be able to sort ya out. Tell him Andy Tillotson put ya on to him (thats me) see how ya get on. Like i say, if ya dont ask ya’ll never know! [emoji106] (mentioning me might make it a bit more expensive tho [emoji6][emoji51]?) haha. Keep us posted.

Ran practically all my first year on pine and packing type soft woods from work, no issues and plenty heat. On a shed load of beech at min, prob see me out this year and part of next. I’m only expecting a cup full of dust from my flu when i come to have it swept anyhow.

If i ran that statement by my misses i can tell ya what response i’d get! [emoji6]........... ?[emoji109][emoji856] funny tho [emoji23][emoji106]

Yeah i’m with you, gona stick with my common sense approach just cover my ass [emoji106]

Yeah thats basically what i said and was reiterating what your neighbour had been told, but shoot me if i’m wrong, i’m just going to go with my own common sense and cover myself with a cert every two years. [emoji106]

Lad at work has started taking tumeric capsules, hes been on them a good twelve months now and a few others have followed, apparently they have made a difference, could be worth a try. Think he got a years tub for £15 off a company called “nu-nutrition”

My installer said same to me at the time, (been fitting stoves for 30+ years, hes retired now, my stove was one of his last jobs) he said:- The installation had to be signed of by a HETAS registered installer and must conform to building regs, said certificate will also be used to validate your home insurance. Apparently they go hand in hand cos if you didn’t have a certificate and anything was to happen (i.e house fire, whether caused by stove or not) then the insurance company wouldn’t pay out. All sounded to make logical sense to me. Further to this he said i would also have to have my liner swept once a year by a hetas registered or professional registered sweep company (not heard of the later) who would then issue a service report for your records, that would then be recognisable towards your home insurance incase the above mentioned incident should ever occur, they can then see you have kept up with a reasonable maintenance / service plan on your hetas installed stove. I personally have not had my liner swept yet by anyone, but i’m only just two years in to use / ownership of my latest new stove and liner so i’m pretty sure the liner will still be mint yet. Was going to get it done next spring when fire goes out of use for me. I’ll probably go on 2 year sweeps after that, but will get it done by a local sweep then he can provide a record for me. End of the day its all about covering your ass, and easier to be safe than sorry. And lets be fair too, for what cost to you..... £50 maybe for a registered sweep and cert? ?‍♂️ break it down over 2 years or even 12 months, its peanuts and puts you in the “covered” bracket.

[emoji15] Little harsh

There are exclusions for running a vehicle if you are using it in a certain radius for your own personal use. Not sure on exact distance, but for example if you wanted to drag something back from say 10 miles away for yourself back to your yard then you can. So say you brought a trailer full of logs back and cut them up for firewood for yourself then its allowed. “But” if for example you were dragging a trailer full of logs back to your yard and those logs were to end up being processed and sold on as firewood or whatever to the public or a customer, then you are making an income off it and so the activity is classed as hire & reward, then you will be succumbed to operators, tacho, driving time, working time, blah blah. Think benedmonds has put some links up on an earlier thread highlighting same thing. .gov can blow your mind tho and start to portrait the “grey areas” sometimes.

Yeah its all digi tacho’s now, (analogue if you wagons ancient like yourself [emoji23]) gets more complicated soon as you go on to operators licence etc as stated above by others..... drivers cpc required and service / inspection records required dictated by type of job, distances / milages covered over time periods etc, definitely all required if its for hire and reward. Personal use differs slightly but if your earning off it then it all applies. Its a Nightmare to be fair Yolky.
