Deere-est Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Did one load down to Chard his morning and tipped apple pomace at Snowdon Energy's anaerobic digester, not a million miles from Frogmary Farm. .. which I'd only heard of since reading about it on here! Sundays we can fit a longer trip in while the cider mill cleaner their lines. It's been a bit slow the last few days as the evaporator isn't getting the water/steam out of the pressed juice fast enough so the presses are running at half speed. Just now, this old 143 450 came in genuine 450k on the clock and with the stacks, she sounded blimmin' lovely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very much like the oak fields one, but I wouldn't swear on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 took the kids swimming this morn,then been concreting the dining room floor in where the stairs came out ,found the floor under the stairs which was a cupboard was a good 2 cm lower than the rest of the room,so i have had to shutter it up level and fill a lot bigger than the 1 m square area plus wall gap i thought i did , now got about 1 m square left that will have to be self leveled as concretes to thick to finish it off, so will do that when i do the new hall ways floor ,poss tuesday when shes out as it needs two hours to set. could have got the builders to do all this, but so far i am only 500 quid i to a saving of 6000 of their bill and have got a good 1250 quid of work done going by the broken down quote we had . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 They have two loads a week, I believe. One on a Thursday which probably goes from the stockpile at Fussell Farms and the Sunday load from the press while they clean out as was done so today.

No triple rinsed ones Chris, no need to wash them if you're going to burn them, saves time when filling, thought you'd have known that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
