Buy this, I would, but they won't deal with us, a great saw. You could resell anytime & get your money back.

It'll go for about $600, maybe more but it"s a good buy.

Hello again Ekka, no I'm not shy! I wa sjust trying to figure out how best to describe a tree in the hope that someone can identify it. I can't really send a photo because I have only a small rooted cutting that I took in a Devon wildlife park. The leaves are very ordinary if a little pale, but the trees main feature is a huge amount of "fluff", like dandelion clocks, that it releases in great clouds inthe wind. If anyone has an idea I would be grateful.

Could it be a cottonwood?(Populus sp.)?

Time flies Dal, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

Hi ... thanks for the welcome, i'm just trying to find my way around at the moment.

I'm in England and although the sun is finally shining, its not very warm. Anyway enough about the weather ... have a good day and not doubt we will chat again soon. Gotta go and do my profile

Knotahippie, Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion, it seems obvious somehow now. I have never seen a cottonwood and i think they might be rare in England, but I have looked it up as far as I can and it looks hopeful, however the leaf shape is different, i.e it doesn't have the flattened bottom edge. I am sure it will be a cottonwood but not sure which!

Thanks again,

Izzy

Took that boat apart,more specificallysplit the hull in half,cleaned,preped and sealed it back togther.Still have to install the trim ring but i'll have it put back togther this evening.I guess everybodys' worried about these 3 storms coming so work is kinda slow but if one hits us good i'll be real busy.

You gotta wood boat or glass?

Hear about the new marine-grade wood preservative? Guess it's the best yet.

Ekka had the info. but I checked it out where else they were using it.

Boron Wood Preservatives And Their Application To Historic Wooden Vessels At San Francisco Maritime N.H.P.

Plastic,just a little one about 7' long 36" wide.Its already back togther just had to fix the previous owners work to it.He sealed the hull with rope caulk and if it had been taken out on the water it would have probabley sunk.Not the first boat i've fixed but i wish it was fiberglass.So easy to work with plus i like the funny things i see after breathing the fumes for awhile.

All good down here,only winters too long.Its killing me.First time ive been on one of these type of things so im still working it out.Seems to be a heap of info on here,some useful some not and some just funny.I'll definatley keep my eye on this site.I'm hoping to find someone who can help me out with a service manual for a 1800 stump humper,18hp Brigs & Stratton engine.Any help with that would be great.

Briggs unlike say Stihl etc has a mass of downloads available including video.

You should find what you need by following the links here, I have used "tiny" so they get zero link juice, just follow links through to Briggs and select the manual for your model engine.

Went to jasper to clean up a fallen limb,ho said over the phone maybe 12 inches diameter by about 30' long.I got there this morning more like 30inches diameter by 50' long.Got it all cut up going back monday to haul it off.Also bid remove the tree the limb came from as well as 3 more and one prune job.One of the trees up for removal is a pecan that had 4 leaders removed by another tree co,left one leader and of course they used Guy's favorite,wound paint.Effing hacks.

Knotahippie · 5th September 2008, 06:57 PM

Pine for me today...

Workin' at this 80yr. old japanese garden, cool Japanese pruning.

Was told that the old guy was a landscaper in japan but wasn't allowed to landscape here, he had to take a job as a dishwasher.

check out the tiles I had to cut over...bank roll...
