Quick question for all you cattle farmers.
Saw a post in the gardening forum which used a 20 space cattle feeder as an archway..

What diameter are these? I need to build an archway and this will probably be cheaper than timber. Tia

Don't buy a new one anyway. Plenty of those feeders lying around doing nothing. Have a few myself that aren't and won't ever be used again.

What about the back tyre of a tractor, cut in half, I'll donate one if you want, nearly 5' diameter

Nope
Ask some local farmers. Some will have them unused or may know of one

Tell Buford he's off the hook for the disappearance of Fungi.

My neighbour has loads of them. This site is remarketing the as "Moon gate arches" 362 dollars. If the likes of Diarmud Gavin mentioned them in an article ye could all make a few bob selling them

A good days work here. I stripped small slates off one of the roofs during the summer. There was over 5,000 in total. I stored them in a shed and they were to be taken out today and left outside to make room for weanlings.

A man from north Kerry rang me out of the blue and came up today and bought the lot and brought them off. The slates live on, on another roof.

Buford or South Westerly spotted a bargain.

Not me. Don't know if Buford got wind of it. I ended up having to replace a light switch in a shed this afternoon.

Just cancelled sky after 13 years- they increased from €26 to €39 with our telling and when I dug further, they were increasing to €41.50

2 hours on phone, agreed to €42 for the new sky q thing and they would take on Netflix bill.

Put on the kids channels and they were blocked- so I rang back, another 40 minutes and told them to keep it to heck.

It was only a back up if internet went tough but they can watch dvds.

Does anyone know, after you cancel sky - can you get the free to air stations on the sky box/satellite dish setup?

Wouldn’t mind cancelling it myself, but just wondering what I’ll have after the cancellation goes through...

Sky coax and standard aerial connections

Do you happen to use a magic eye?

Out sky box is upstairs, but we use magic eye on the tv in the kitchen and the living room to change channels...
Wondering will this work if we cancel?

Pull out the card and reboot the box. That's what you should have when you cancel the sub.

Yes, that should work just as it is now. It's a function of the box, not the sky sub.

I think that's just the Sky Q box, but maybe the later HD boxes fall into this category too.

Easily done, it's if you ever have to be the smallholder pretending to be a city boy again that it gets tough!
