:D :D :D

It was a matter of what I had on hand. Hopefully the chocolate and peanut butter is sticky enough but if they manage to eat it without triggering the trap then I'll do something different...

Wish I had pignut here - have tried planting them but they haven't survived. Looks amazing...

My wife has had an issue with rats in her car - they've chewed through the wiring loom twice now and although they seem to have taken a bag of poisoned bait, I'd like to see the bodies so I've left a couple of spring traps in there. Needed something sticky enough to jam onto the prongs and...

Arrived today, many thanks! Will have a play later...

Your English is far better than many native speakers!

Ah, you mean "treaded" - thought you were talking about stitched on soles as supposed to bonded. Flat soles may have more grip on an uphill gradient but downhill having a heel would probably give an advantage.

Gosh, that's a very generous offer.

Funnily enough, I had some birch logs from a tree that fell down, about 10" in diameter. A bit rotten down the middle so I just stuck the chainsaw bar in and made a rocket stove. Took a bit to get going (last Thursday) but when I returned to it the following day, all that was left was the bark.

If you don't want to use the treadle, you can buy an electric motor that should just screw onto the back. Mine actually came with an adapter that uses the treadle plate as a pedal for the electric motor but it looked like a vintage item and I don't use it anyway as I've set it into a table. As...

So you want cheap boots with flat soles that don't have flat soles. As Robbi said, unhelpable.

I made a small froe handle from eucalyptus - holding up fine.

Someone on here made a stunning handle for his axe "Goliath" from oak. Must have taken him ages. It snapped on the second hit - far too brittle

I have a tiny little boat but a canoe wouldn't be much fun. It's about 30m wide and although there is an island, the channel is very shallow and narrow around the back so you can't circumnavigate it

Thank you. Certainly plenty of insect life in it. Absolutely swarming with tadpoles too at the moment. Went swimming in it today - let's say it was "refreshing". Dog managed to destroy the only lily leaves that were on the surface but I think they were old ones so hopefully new ones making their...

It's spring fed, from another pond plus a few more springs. I probably should get the pH tested. It's very deep in places, my pond. At the deepest point it's about 15 foot! I thought it would take a few years to fill up but it filled up in about 4 months... it then started going down again and...

Thanks, Robbi, it is, especially in this weather. Just wish I had more vegetation - it's a big area to try and cover and all the floating plants I've put in haven't made it... I've put duckweed in, water soldiers, water hyacinth but they've all died. There are plenty of insects in there and the...

Only slight? :D :D I'm lucky to have had a good job so that I can afford it. Been a lot of work but at least with this glorious weather and time off I can see it all come to life again...

Sure. PM me what fabrics you'd like and what size. It will have an offset zip.

Not that I know of. Don't think it's been established long enough for them to appear but we do have ducks visiting so perhaps they'll bring eggs in. Part of the planning permission states I'm not allowed to stock it - think they are concerned that I'll be opening a fishery. It's big, but not...
