Like everyone else I try to get the balance between safe and practical. I wouldn't start a saw without chainsaw trousers and helmet, otherwise its easy for it to become habit using saw without. But normal steel toecap boots and workgloves as I think risk is less in those areas (on the ground). I think decent workboots would slow a saw down, and stop it if you hit the toecaps.

The police need to be much harder, big deal if a jornalist spends a few hours in a cell if it means the police are doing their job and getting the roads moving so everyone can earn a living. Everyone learnt at school, if you watch a fight you stand a risk of getting a punch on the nose or accused by an over zealous teacher of being involved... Doubt she's suffered any hardship, gives her another angle to report on, win win all round. I agree they prob should have used a bit more common sense and she didn't deserve to be arrested, but rather they clear everyone off super quick and ask questions after.

Yes true, see Watt you mean

I suppose it will electocute them anyhow, and if the trap gets them it's an added bonus?
-
Smere a new trap with mud/dirt so they're not suspicious of it... they have v sharp nose and a new trap straght out the packet will smell odd... does it work? Yep (according to me)😄
-
I've used them a few times, good stuff. May be worth picking their brains even if you're too far away to buy from them.

hello looking for free wood please
NJA replied to Clivenovice's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Evolution do a circular saw that cuts wood and metal, blade doesn't get damaged by nails in the wood. -
I do it regularly, despite what the M25 is like your quickest and easiest route will be M25 then down A3. Or come off M25 a couple of junctions earlier onto M3, down to Lightwater junction and follow road through bisley etc to guildford. No secret short cuts really, that save any amount of time.

Why are CONIFERS dying...what is usual lifespan?
NJA replied to Julie123's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Plant something else, if you really like conifer they grow pretty quick, be back up to that height before you know it. And decking shouldn't affect new roots. Annoying I know, but for the cost of a couple of new ones probably better than a drawn out battle with the neighbour? -
Nice set up, and good idea the 1t dumper v maneuverable those things.

Anyone else stand in the beer queue for 15mins only to see a handwritten note 'cash only'? Just had a fairly mediocre fish and chips for £15! Stands were brilliant, organisation and stewards/security went out their way to be rude/unhelpful tho
-
Moved it out the cupboard and its a lot better, covers most of the house now! Was hoping wouldn't have to have a router in the hall that jumped out and grabbed your ankle everytime you walked past... but hey ho we've got something resembling signal now, thanks!
-
We processed an artic load of cordwood, kept a count of how many bags and went from there. I agree although competitors prices do dictate your sales price its useful to know what your cost is, bearing in mind it may vary a bit of course. (If it helps from 30m3 of small/med cord we'd reckon on 60 bags)
-
We found nowtv good, until we moved to next village and they can't do broadband there. Went with John lewis broadband as their call centre was so easy to deal with... except the wifi hardly reaches out the cupboard the router is in. Loads of wifi extenders and boosters out there, anyone use one that they'd recommend?

Could try contractors plant in tadley?
-
Where abouts in sussex?
-
Could try Andrew Harmer 07875 360622 or Vic 07831 394372 at Harmer and sons, good bunch this sort of job right up their street. They have big flail mowers, prob 20mins towards folkestone from you.

Maple biomass if they come down that far?
-
It'll say tractor mounted to pick up the google searches, no way it is. I tried one but can only split what you can with a decent axe, probably slighty slower. Local hire shop round here will do a decent petrol one for £65/day, I can do a winters worth in one day you might find similar or someone who has got one for their own use who will hire it out?
-
Yep definitely. Amazing trees just planted one
-
Its the tees apparently that get in the golf buggy tyres. OKO is a bit outdated tbh doesn't work great. Its messy and not that effective. The Redwing stuff is a different product altogether. Its a lot thinner so runs round the tyre better, but has fibres in it to plug bigger holes up to about 10mm. Its water soluable so you can just rinse it off when you come to changing a wheel. A lot of people don't realise the OKO stuff dries out over time so you're meant to keep topping it up, the redwing stuff doesnt. Also I think there is a new one out now for on-road tyres. Force52 is the company that does it.
-
🤦♂️oh yea, true.
-
In fairness I may be wrong but the huge margins are very likely to be from the manufacturer rather than the dealer. Eg a genuine recoil for the common Honda GX160 engine is about £120, a non gen from the same supplier about £20.

I imagine you've tried Shorts hire in Ascot?
-
I'd second that, Mark is a great guy to deal with. I've bought loads of cord wood from him in the past.
