Me too, though a little saddened that my two machines have different handles

That wont be a finger or arm.
It will be if someone parks blocking the driveway something like a renault clio split into 4

The shop looks great. There can't be many independent toy shops opening these days, I hope all goes well in the run up to Christmas.

Replacement MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) AKA a centralised fan unit with a heat exchanger. We had the last one for nearly 20 years, it was a Baxi, but Vent Axia bought Baxi's air division about 10 years ago. We had to turn it off as if started rattling badly and keeping the kids awake.
You don't know how good they are until you turn one off. We now have condensation everywhere and if you crack open a window, then its freezing cold. When in their prime you hardly hear a noise, far better than a rattly old fan in the bog
This one is a Blauberg, it comes with wifi built in so you can control from your phone.
Its 10mm too wide to go through the loft hatch, and it's not designed to be dismantled, but if I take the oak trim and architrave off the hatch it will squeeze through nicely.
Next job is two 125mm holes in the gable end. The old one was 100mm and the builder put the inlet and exhaust holes too close together for my liking so will get more separation this time. I'll drill the pilot holes from inside tomorrow, a neighbour with scaffolding is going to core drill them from outside later. While I'm up there I've got to cut up a big old plastic tank that was left up there by the previous owners, probably full of dead mice. I hate working in this particular loft, not much headroom, I'll just crack on and get it done and out of the way.
I'm also going to move the condense drain internally. When I build the ensuite in the youngest bedroom I'll install a tun dish that will drain into one of the bathroom traps. At the moment it has a tendency to freeze up in winter.
Cheers

Whether its for log wood or biomass it has to be small enough to process and more importantly transported. The timber lorries don't have the sort of cranes capable of picking up big sticks. Our crane is 28 ton so we are ok to get big sticks back to the yard, if we could quarter them they could go for firewood or back in the stack roadside ready for collection. A huge saving in manpower.

If quartered all the softwood can go back in the stack on one of our jobs and sold.

That will come up well with citric acid, similar condition to the 383 Chrysler I did. 2.5 or 3ltr? I have a new set of ARP conrod bolts to fit an Essex.

The two tall ones are the best as the fronts come off, removing two locks and adding a pair of hinges would make access easier. They roll nicely too.
