Right! Now! Question to all of you! Have any of you had a problem on your pooter where your email is no longer uploading new messages and at the same time you cannot open Landyzone properly? Cos I have and it has taken until now to partially...

Wise man! Bit surprised there was enough thread left for another nut. And I spect that nut is now Boogered too! After I posted I said to myself "bet he uses a grinder or somesuch!" I hear my neighbour constantly using an ugga-dugga. Wondering...

Less than that!

There is a special big piece of steel or cast itorn in the way to force the smoke and heat etc to circulate in the body of the burner to ensure maximum burn. I could fish it out of the way but it'd be a right pain.

I spent 40 quid yesterday :oops: on a set of sealey ratchet spanners & a halfords pro torques/alan key socket set I think thats what the were I was busy working on the disco I just said aye chuck em in the shed lol Oh I got a free...

Knackered. With all the humidity in Manchester decent sleeping on hold until further notice. So come to this morning event for a stolen car. 🤬 Why oh why when stealing a new car to order, do dickhead thieves seem to drive in first gear...

Been hammering it down this morning, its been lovely for a few days. I might have a day off. :) Tools need putting away as they were just thrown on top of the pool table last night (got a wooden cover on it) Peeps came round for a few beverages...

Was double posted. :)

Mornin Dull and breezy Off to get some Euros this morning for the road trip, three days to go 😊 😊 Polished half of the Freelander, do the rest later if it doesn't rain Need plasters for the first aid kit and a warning triangle, should have...

Morning All. :D Not here really, we just melted away in the night. ;) Have a great day! :D

Eh?

Fink your getting a touch of dementia :oops:

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. Satellite punched my craft. I was on my way to a wedding 40...

Hot wevva today. At one point we had rain twice. Just enuff to wet me slabs then stopped. Big clouds going across. Sad news one ov me water butts is drippin. Need to empty it and put some more sealent round the tap ole. Gorra free ladder this...

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.

Could hexpensive if yer house burns down.

What’s your gas bill over the winter? ;). It supplies the underfloor heating and hot water. J

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

We have ours done every year, herself says it's a requirement in the house insewerants. Might be worth checking yours?

That accounts for it.

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

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...

Use a mirror

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 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...

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

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...

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
