It's In Liverpool, surely he just needs to go down the pub and say to everyone he dropped his gold ring in the sump and can't get the plug out and some enterprising Scouser will get it off😁

That accounts for it.

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. I have always...

My stars, that must cost! Or it would over here, absolute minimum being €50 per stere. Hope it heats your hot water too.

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...

Thanks but we have plenty :). J

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...

Can get cheaper than that which will munch quite big twigs/branches. But yes bags of chippings are easier to handle :) Great fire starters to:). J

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 got a quarter of a bucket after two years, I was burning mostly old pallets though and they burn very hot and clean

I fort you only burned propah dried hard wood? I suppose it goes up through another floor and the roof space? I may now stare up ours, if I can. Might actooly be easier to get on the roof and peer down it!!

... 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...

I suppose that if you try and recut the thread wiv a die it just goes round and round? Maybe you could clamp the tie-rod and ball joint to stop this? I fink your way may be better, unless it starts to go round and round as you use the saw. Best...

Afternoon all, done all the fluids in the Disco. Hand brake cable & speedo cable to fit oh & the flippen track rod end has a stripped nut & the threads are damaged id forgot about this when I took it apart. I think i have one in the shed. I...

Do you want some more Marjon got thousands of them

Nah. An FL can't even make it through a small puddle without falling to bits :p

If I had to do this moren once, I would!!

Get a chipper only about £600 worth every penny

Bit like a FL then 😯

It's the seals, they are rubbish, it's quite well documented for years. We fitted "OEM" both leaked almost straight away. Out of principle I made the supplier refund the money. Bought 2 NAK seals, damaged one as they are a very tight fit into...

I haven't used the Small Claims Track for a while now, but it costs £100 to start the proceedings. OK, if you win you get it back.... I think the company sounded a bit inexperienced but nevertheless polite and offering a free one really was...

Mark I've tried silicone grease normal grease coperslip but not KY jelly yet Ha Ha Thanks Mark

Ive got a fleet of motors & a few boats im not looking to take anything else on. Thanks tho ;)

Flipping hot here again today. Pool up to 25 and climbing. Clearing the pine branches I had to cut off the trees that make the western boundary when I was putting up the fence two years ago. I hoped they would have rotted down a bit but nope...

Eye has just re wotched the titan sub telly program on bbc eye player. The company were filming their activities fer history and advertising. So yer get to see the mistakes like choosing to only fit 4 of 18 bolts to hold the end on. End came oft...

Mornin Dull and warm here Sunflowers still climbing skywards, look like being a success this year Might polish the Freelander while it's a dull day 🤔 Meantime another brew is needed Stay cool and dry all :) Edit. suns just come out :D

Morning All. :D Another scorcher looms. :) Have a great day. :)

Unfortunately that motor seems obsolete all over the place, i bought one as well about 2 years ago then sent the bad one to a rewinding service and they made it like new for half the price so i keep that for spare.
