This is what you pay good solicitors for when you're purchasing a house, get them to find owner and advise on your legal position.

Blown fuse it was. Thank you.

There's a few pallet networks out there, palletways etc all around that benchmark depending on weight etc. But if it'll go on a pallet you should definitely get it down here for well under £100. I used to use bleach of lavant they bought loads of individual pallets from Warwickshire to west sussex for me for under £80 -

Phone bleach of lavant they've always got trucks up and down the country from west sussex. -
Oh so that's been the problem all this time then... wondered why grass was so long!

I did this today!!🙈 dropped brand new battery in battery box, feeling pretty smug as probably hardly a mm to spare, fitted like a glove. Connected it up etc, wondered why it sparked a bit. Wondered why lights wouldn't work. Never even occured to me to check correct way round, lug/bolt thru type terminals. What a dope! Haven't tried starting it, could this have caused any damage to battery or electrical system? 23hp petrol engine.

When visiting Ireland recently seems the norm to go and hand your card in, come out fill up, go back in to authorise payment? Regarding deposits, whatever works for you. I tell customers who are trying to push down price or negotiate on payment terms 'I've got to make money to survive, won't do either of us any favours if I go bust'. If you're genuinly cash strapped might be an idea to? If you're not, surely not a bad thingnif customer will? If they don't want to and you really want the job say payment is on completion?

I'm a stihl fan and love the 260 & 361 but seriously should be a law against the 180 and 181, I got a 181 as a cheap lightweight saw for pruning once. Hardly used it the amount of time spent with it on the workbench just isn't worth it, they'll never be a good saw however much you chuck at them. So I'll add to your comment 'dont spend time either'

I use tapo, quite cheap. Range of different cameras as well as smart plugs (can turn lamp etc off from anywhere with same app) No subscription if you put card in rather than use their cloud storage. Start about £20 for indoor camera £40 for outdoor camera, bit more for pan/tilt and battery cameras. Decide what you want and find a system that does it, if you're gonna add more caneras etc down the line don't want to be using multiple systems. Surprisingly easy for a tech idiot like me to set up.

It started as £40 and I said I don't pay for softwood arbwaste as not worth the time to process... so he dropped to £20 am I dumb to turn it away. I can do a bit of processing here and there on a sunday morning, not during work time
-
Not much to lose is there
-
What's it like to burn? I'm in the 'if its dry enough it'll burn' camp so not snobby about softwood but been offered some at £20/load (typical arb transit). Its arbwaste not cordwood. Thoughts? Would you?

Make sure you submit a figure that you wont have regrets with afterwards, whatever way it goes. Work out highest you'd be comfortable paying to still make money. If you win you don't think 'oh crap I overpaid as I was desparate not to lose it' as you submitted a price you were happy paying. If you lose it you think 'oh well I went as high as I could, any higher wouldn't have been profitable for me' Don't worry too much what the market rate is, work out what its worth to you in your business. Probably no one else can tell you that. Hope this helps.

The weld holding the blade to the shaft sliding part broke on mine in the first couple of weeks use if that helps🙈. In fairness they sent a completely new splitter straight away... and the same happened! I wouldn't touch one but they said it was a batch issue and they'd sort it which I'm sure they have, think I was just unlucky. I moved onto processor so never bothered chasing it up. But getting back to point yes fiskars x27 is a good axe to start with, can't go too far wrong lovely axe.

West Sussex (Chichester) Thanks

Anyone offer this in the south east?

Grenadier, or new Land Crusier, and car type or commerical?
NJA replied to difflock's topic in The Lounge
Went offroad in one of the early prototype grenadiers when they were testing. Fully agree generally issues with vehicles are ironed out over time. But they've put years of research into the grenadier, I love their thought process/design, everything is practical and based around how can we make this a rugged work truck not a chelsea tractor. Using parts from well established brands as already mentioned. A risk I'd very much like to take if I had half an excuse to get one. -
I've got a bin made from pallets and just build a new one every year or so. Fill it with grass, leaves, kitchen waste, wood ash etc. Once its full i dig it out mixing with wood chip as i go. Dug it in before planting bareroot hornbeam hedge, which took off like crazy so cant have been too bad? Haven't got a secret recipe just always mixed in as much different stuff as poss Definitely not potting compost but great to dig in beds/before planting hedging etc.

Might be! Next door neighbours cat used to get to our gateway, check it was clear then run past, going back to a walking pace once it was past our entrance. Mission accomplished. They just won't leave anything on their fur. It does work... if you can get close enough! Put it this way it never works twice on the same cat though!
-
Is washing up liquid politically correct? A bit of that on their fur, which they then have to lick off. Doesn't do them any harm but they don't risk getting it twice

Where abouts in the country are you? Someone might know a dealer who has a hire/demo machine you can try before you buy
-
Looked at that one, just too big for our room nice stove though
-
I reckon that was the best £100 I ever spent, about 10 years of really abusing it before it finally gave up... began to think it was completely impossible to destroy

My brothers got one. Feels plasticy compared to my bosch one but is quite powerful and good value for the money
