General is way better than being 'sedated', when you're half awake but your brain is completely scrambled and going flat out trying to work out what is going on, and you're trying to work out how you got into this weird place in your head you can't get out of. Then when you wake up you can't support your head or limbs for hours. Horrible experience

Vik hire in Lincoln worth a shout, they're a good bunch often happy to sort stuff at short notice. Do spider lifts not sure what sizes

Good points, I'll avoid the BCS then. Yes I'm in sussex, pls could you DM me info on the mower you've got?
-
Just what I'm looking out for. Flail attachment on a camon rotavator base look good but seem a bit overpriced?
-
Ah just got it, the disabled space😂

Don't do it! I turned up to course in my slippers, and would you believe it they said i had to wear my own boots to walk across the woodchip covered yard before i could get them under cover😱

Method for getting consistent lengths when hand cutting logs?
NJA replied to Elliott.F's topic in Firewood forum
I cut to the width of the saw, including side handle, seems to get them about right. Obviously easiest if you're cutting left to right if that makes sense? -
We've had them in 3 nests in our outbuildings this year. Can't believe how much they take offence to the kestrels nesting nearby, and squirrels nesting in the house roof, divebombing them and trying to chase them off.

Where is this? Looks to me like Humber bridge, from the angle/distance I'd have a guess at swanland/anlaby/west ella area? Or am i miles out😆

This is not meant to start a political debate, but there are some amazing people in the NHS, you can rock up with an injury like that and they take in their stride. Can't be complacent for a second when using some of this kit
-
When we started doing this it sped up cutting output so much, and meant consistency across various cutters.

Cut it off, put L shaped, bracket on each upright so you can put it back in, just with a bolt/wingnut to secure it? Or maybe a U bracket it drops into? Would mean you'd need to undo a couple of nuts each time you want to remove it...

Wait till you get an electrical fault with a gas boiler... plumber and heating engineer washed their hands of it as 'its electrical fault need and electrician mate, we only do gas and water'. Call electrician out, you've guessed it 'nah can't sort that mate as its in the boiler so plumber or heating engineers job'
-
Nah, life's too short for me to do that. But each to their own.

Ringo is awesome, if you realise you're gonna be another ½hr getting back to the car open your phone and 5 seconds later youveput another ½hr on the parking. But trouble is every car park is a different app and often no signal in the carpark🤦♂️ And in fairness card machines on ticket machines often faulty, so good idea but only if the tech actually works😄

Ok fair enough cashless is a bit extreme, but tbh I'm not that fussed if geeks at Visas h/o find out I'm having my hair cut every 4 weeks, and a doner meat and chips on a friday night.
-
The card provider is charging that to arrange the transaction, not gonna do it for free are they? I think its fair for the convenience of having a card to access your money. I'd happily pay more not to have the hassle of going to a cash machine then having the change rattling around in the glove box .
-
It really annoys me from a customer point of view, barbers or kebab shops who only take cash, and I'd actively avoid them. Make your customer leave their car keys in your shop and walk to a cash machine because you don't want the 1% fee for a card transaction, and you want to dodge the tax

Well said

I've had lid of 5l petrol can chewed, they've just gone through fuel cap on mower, and I've also had them chew through a rubber hose on a saw can't remember if it was fuel or chain oil but a blighter to change. One bit off a bit more than it could chew with my brothers bottle of chain oil... chewed right through the cap and he found the culprit dead floating in the oil! Do seem to have a thing for caps it seems!?
-
This is so true. Think most other dealers hated them but from customers point of view they had great website, great prices and pretty good customer service. But you bulk buy high value items like saws, and throw them out at low margins you need a lot of cash to buy the next lot (when you've taken out operating expences you haven't got much left). So you borrow to buy the next lot... then interest rates go up to more than the profit you're making, so you borrow more, to buy more, to sell more but it multiplies the problem. This is how I see it, so probably not surprising they've gone bust?

1. Cut it regularly, the clippings certainly won't kill the grass (fair enough if you don't like the look tho)? As steve says, mulching mowers are good, I know someone with about 5 acres and you wouldn't really know it wasn't getting collected (they do collect cuttings fom a smaller area near the house) 2. Get a few sheep (or find someone who's got some and looking for areas to graze them, then they'll look after them?) 3. Maybe don't feel you have to mow it? Cut round the edge, and perhaps some paths through it, and just cut the rest once a year? 4. Do loads of trips to the compost heap... I suppose if you've got that much grass and you want it cut and collected you're gonna have to, sweeper setup will still need emptying?

Yea i think their claims of 'whole house heating' are quite ambitious, I'm not expecting it to and think the gas CH will still be very much needed. But is the few hundred kg of masonry holding heat around the stove actually a benefit in real life, will it maintain a more steady temparature in the house than a traditional stove? Or just a nice theory on paper? I really want something that will sit in the living room that will cheer the place up, so not really suitable for a eco-angus. But definitely an option for further down the line to have in addition to whatever stove i fit, for hot water etc. Thanks for the input.
