I cut the damaged threads off by getting another nut & used the ugga dugger to nip it on the rod end, then used a pry bar
to hold put pressure down on the tie bar & cut the treads flush with the nut using a skinny cutting disc with a dewalt...
Do you know why I landed on this rock, Bleeding Musk that's why. See that hole leaking fluid, do you know why Mr Bleeding Musk. A clue is in my pocket called a bit of Starlink.

I prefer the kiln-dried Ash or Oak, but last year I took a job-lot of 2xM3 "various" from some local lads and their start-up business and it was mainly pine. It all burnt though and no harm seems to have been done.
I have no insewerants to check with. I ceased that scam about 15 years ago.
However, now that I am becoming old, frail etc. etc. I may give it another go. :D
Part of what we have been doing is disposing of fruit trees that I took down a while back. We have been burning those and W likes to take all the twigs off for kindling and the next size up for the next stage before we put logs on. It works well...

Not huge bucket I suspect. He had vacuumed as much of it that came down the chimney directly into his catch can and what the physically shoveled out of the fire-box was like a black mountain of soot to the top 1/3rd of the box.

How big were the buckets 🤔 .
But then we usually get about 2/3rd to 1/2 of bucket every year. Think the bucket is about the size of a 25l paint can, its a Karcher thing so the hoover does the work and it drops in the can.
But then we do burn...
I shall be going off for a 3 day cycling trip to Cambs next month. It has been a rather sudden decision.
So I am scrambling to get the delta trike "match fit". The seat fabric has mostly perished and I need to replace it, but they no longer...
... I had our chimney swept last week. It had not been done since the log-burner was installed 5 years ago and the chimney liner installed. I was rather surprised at the amount of pure black soot that was pulled out of the liner. Easily 2...
