You're lucky. Mid April is the safest time to sow seeds up here. There again, I can gamble by the end of March by sowing them in covered propagators in the greenhouse. [/li][li]Get new wellies for Mike as the pigs have bitten through his others[/quote] They're kinky like that. ;D It always used to be the weaners that gave me a chewing of the wellies when I was mucking them out. We used to have an old rubber tyre hanging from a rope that they could play with. Those big plastic fishing floats are good too. It stops the little buggers getting bored. [/li][li]Buy a hand bow saw and an eff-off axe for sorting the wood out.[/quote] Bow saw good. Chainsaw better. ;D As for 'Eff-off axe' It is a really butch implement but soddin dangerous if you miss and the log flies off at an angle.  Did you see that logsplitter in that site? Now that really is a safe piece of kit and costs about the same as a good quality felling axe. Mick. |

Yup looking into getting the log splitter, but the axe is more effective when cold-callers and Mormons come to the door! (the kindling axe is right next to the door!)
Mike has the chainsaw I got the bow saw for meself, I know it'll hurt like hell to start with but I'm hoping it'll help me build me muscles! ;D

6. sort out the seeds. (like what SC said)
7. spray nettles, when its not raining ahahaha.

but the axe is more effective when cold-callers and Mormons come to the door! (the kindling axe is right next to the door!) Not really effective though. The buggers are used to such er..receptions. ;D The best way of dealing with them is to ask them to come in and talk about God. It freaks em out completely cos they aint expecting it. ;D You be careful SC! You might start off easy enough, but when you're sawing a log and you get to a tough knotty part, you just don't want to be beaten by it and so you put lots of effort into sawing the bugger off. Then you start wondering why you can't use your arms for three days afterwards.  Mick. |

Presumably, headaches are common in your family? ;D Ride on? A bit girly isn't it? I've just got Flynn the Flymo 4 stroke self propelled mower and Harry the hover mower. ;D That's weird.  I call mine, "You're supposed to feed the bloody line out automatically you bastard!" ;D Your mum scares me Stormy. ;D ;D Mick. |

i doupt the lead would reach on my lawn lol Stormy! ;D 4 stroke means 4 stroke petrol engine. It doesn't need a lead. However, I now have visions of you on a ride-on mower, speeding round your lawn dressed in a studded leather jacket and a girly pink crash helmet, with a sequinned scarf flying out behind you.........I know. Weirdo aint I. ;D Mick. |
