Yeah the old oily rag in the pocket etc and bollock cancer etc. 95% of time i wear the blue nitrile gloves, but the exhaust job is just one of those where needs must.
-
Horrible dirty job Sam indeed! Exhaust soot is a PITA to get off your hands and gets well engrained. Just one of those jobs though where i cant abide to wear any type of gloves cos you need to feel everything with it being so fiddly [emoji36]

Todays antics! Another cracked exhaust manifold on a DAF [emoji849][emoji849] bits everywhere and the egr rail is a proper shat design!!! [emoji36] keeps me busy though and day passes quicker [emoji13]

Performance wise, and i dont use them very much at all now cos i have the electric splitter, they both perform equally well, i just prefer the x27 for comfort being slightly longer. I have the smaller husky s1600 also and the 900B hatchet. All great in the right situation.
-
I have both, invested in the husky first but bought the fiskars after, purely for the extra length factor. Husky is 700mm and fiskars is 964mm.

If you’ve time to go to or even the need for a gym with the supposed job your in then you’re obviously not doing as much as you make out Les [emoji6]
-
Good lad! [emoji16] I should confess, i do own some husky bits and pieces, no saws though.
-
If you go for a splitter in time and want electric, i have the rockmachinery 12ton electric splitter, same breed as Andy’s above, not failed on anything i’ve give it yet, really pleased with it. Checkout their website, good choice and reasonably priced in my opinion, hence the purchase. Got the fiskers axes and some Husqvarna ones but never really get em out now. Good luck with your decisions [emoji106]

Knocked some old lime based plaster off for a lad a few years ago with intensions or replastering the room for him, solid walls nearly two foot thick, caught the edge of his “solid wood lintel” with my hilti, chuffing thing disintegrated on me!!! [emoji15] when i got more of the plaster off i could see it was littered with tiny holes [emoji33] stuck corner of my bonding float in to it and it just dropped in bits, flakey powdery all over its full length!!! He replaced it with a steel. lucky lad cos it was on a big old gable end! Made me unnervey whilst i was knocking rest of room off! ?[emoji90]

Yep..... i fully understood every word you said there David [emoji16]

I had it growing all over some cut beech i had stacked in a corner outside for a while, came to pick them up to move them and i heard a tearing sound, in doing so it was trying to move several pieces at one time that had stuck together. Once i prized them apart, thats what they were covered in! I just scraped it off and its not come back since. Have they been exposed to the weather Saul or been anywhere with excess dampness?
-
I dont have a “saw” Les, so my limits are potentially endless [emoji4]
-
Kin’ell Andy, come on now! Thats insulting a poor defenceless piece of wood! [emoji16]

I’d of said yeah, argument of clean up is between council and builders merchants. If you’ve reported it then its all you can do. Council have attended so have acknowledged it, stand down. Only thing you could do is get a case reference off them to cover you, otherwise, leave it to them.
