    I’m hanging up my boots

    Just get the old ones resoled. :) Although it will probably cost as much as buying a new pair. 42 years!!  I'm lucky if I can get a pair of boots to last me a year.

    Can anyone explain ....?

    The only reasons I can think of are. 1. A big infrastructure project to employ people til the economy picks up. 2. Get cars off the road. 3. A horrifically expensive political and bureaucratic balls up of the highest order. Give that I'm about 7 hours drive from it's Northernmost point I...

    Cutting wood for a woodburner

    I use a Stihl MS440 with a 20" bar. I get approx 20 tonnes of larch delivered from the forestry every year and the saw has served me well for about 7 years so far.

    Wanted: A Short Length Of Yellow Gas Ducting

    Any plant hire / ground works companies near you? They may have some for the same reason as you need it. Some of them prefer to lay the ducts themselves when preparing house sites.

    Question For Prodave

    out of everyone I know itseems to be slightly in favour of a no vote. Out of the yes voters I would say the vast majority of them have no concept of what would happen after independance. They are just voting with their hearts. Personally I'm worried about it and hope that on the day sense...

    Why 10 Posts 1

    If your Electrician is going to check it over for you then one of the things he will be checking is terminations. He will also have to undo some of them for testing. It won't work out that much more expensive to get them to do the terminating in the first place. This will also give you some...

My van battery is on it's way out so this morning I parked it up in a car park, left the keys in the ignition and the engine running while I nipped out to get a coffee.

    Carpel Tunnel.

    I get something similar and had assumed it was just overworking the muscles etc in my hands. I had guessed, rightly or wrongly, that the numbness was due to inflammation, tightness of the muscles. It's not fun though. Two hands to pick up a cup of coffee in the morning. I do find that soaking...

    Do I Stick My Nose In Or Leave Them To It?

    This is a tricky one as it can look like you are touting for business. If they are friends and have a history of being stung perhaps offering to keep an eye on electrical proceedings for their peace of mind. :) If Part P applies where you live ask them to check he is in fact registered etc...
