    Healion Tree Care – complete hedge removal compilation

    Kevin Healion and his team work their magic removing a 29 year old Laelandei hedge and mulching the off cuts. A serious fleet of machinery and consummate pros at what they do. If it was a few months further down the line, said mulch would also serve wonderfully as cattle bedding. At least if/when that…

    Blocks, logs, stock-cars and generosity of spirit

    Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous? Not likely to be an issue in my case, bar the odd Stephen Hawking jibe. My uncle Pat, or “Uncle Zeb” as he will always be to us, was different. He could easily and justifiably be confused with Santa Claus, Ronnie Drew, John Sheahan or one of…

    There’s a little bit of everything in this overdue catch-up, from wheelchair repairs, to poignant haymaking and woodwork and teasers about more exciting stuff to come.

    This One’s For You, Bud

    Without doubt the most difficult video I’ve had to do so far. Buddy, my golden boy, has gone to chase the pigeons in the sky. We also give a brief update on the eco-bales and other ongoing operations.

    What began as a mad notion bordering on a pipedream at best is getting a step closer to becoming a reality. Move over Van Gogh!

    An overdue update in these quarters regarding what has been going on, what’s to come in the near future and mention of a completed project I’d love to spread to the masses.

    Eco-Friendly Heating Bale – from start to finish

    In today’s video, we take you along during the process of packing and actually baling the Eco Briquette. In previous videos you’ll have seen how we shredded newspapers or any such material which was surplus to requirements before soaking and steeping for a week to 10 days. Then, in a rare happy accident, it was…

    Rolling Up Before Baling

    The project which has been hinted at over the past week or so is almost ready for lift off. No matter what the material is though, hay, straw, silage, maize (corn) stalks or in this case paper, it needs to be rowed or rolled up before being put through a baler. Please stay tuned for…

    Woodwork in the office

    Weather conditions dictated that what would normally be shed were re-located to the office today. The cutlery drawer turned flower box got it’s third coat of paint while another ongoing project was ramped up with a small mound of newspapers were torn up and soaked in buckets of water. Confused? Stay tuned, all will be…

    As the great Hanibal Smith of the A-Team might say, I love it when a plan comes together! My only Woodwork project from school has been recreated, plus something very similar on a bigger scale for tool storage and a window box for flowers with a difference.
