    Core drilling into stone wall

    Its a lot easier with a hydraulic drill rather than electric which has a habit of grabbing. Best method I found was to secure the pedestal drill to the wall then you can be accurate on the slope of the hole to allow drainage outwards. All our MVHR pipes were installed this way allowing any water...

    How much would it cost to lay something down on a field to make it accessible for a non 4x4 vehicle?

    The 8 x 4 weldmesh sheets they use on building sites to reinforce concrete are handy for the job. Just cut the grass really short then lay weldmesh on track you want to create. Join weldmesh together with hosepipe in 6 inch pieces with jubilee clips. Allow grass to form a mat through the mesh...

    The war in Ukraine...

    Yes I was talking vehicles which their already using and more of the same I am sure would be very welcome but their also getting some more storm shadows which they have used to good effect in the past.

    The war in Ukraine...

    Certainly Ukraine are looking forward to some of the kit as they already have some and its proved to be very useful in the field. Also includes some storm shadows and they can never have enough of them.

    The war in Ukraine...

    Have you actually read what vehicles are actually being provided. Most of it is end of life ready for disposal and already replaced with new kit.

    Never said anything about the chain being heavy.

    A year to show up 120 year + old drainage systems

    Are you sure there 10 yds not 11 yds. Our drains are all 11 yds I believe its because they used to drag a chain (22yds) from 1 trench to the next with an end of the chain in each hand.

    Natural England knows best?

    Reminds me of when ThWAiTeS closed down the brewary in the center of Blackburn and the signage on the top of the building went faulty with the h,i.and e not lighting up. Made me laugh anyway.

    Angela Rayner CGT Saga

    No chance of any investigation there. GMP could not even investigate a pee up in a brewary. Still waiting for them to investigate my fraud claim against a bunch of crooked solicitors. Looks like the only justice I will get is via my own private prosecution.

    The war in Ukraine...

    Grain trains already haul direct from Ukraine to EU as the wagons are dual guage similar to that used on the historic line between France and Spain in WW2.

    Scotland bans wood stoves😱

    I do wonder why some people are taken in by such "garbage" and "studies". Why reinvent the wheel the Austrians sorted out woodstoves 2 decades ago. Did you actually read the Sheffield report of the gross stupidity of what they trying to prove. Lets light the stove with any old sh!t and see how...

    What are the likely eventualities from best to worst if buying land and 'abuse' the 28 day rule for staying on it?

    Because the caravan rules from memory allow upto 5 caravans upto 28 days on any one site but that does not include a permanent caravan all year round for the owner. Whereas the woodland upkeep rules allows for a permanent cabin to be erected on each site to allow woodlands to be maintained with...
