These things are amazing!10/10.
I also know the type of plugs he uses
I'm still at the stage I have to go to hardware store to get something for nearly every DIY job!
Bought a set.
I accidentally shoplifted a bunch. They do kits (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fischer-53...&qid=1685396382&sprefix=fischer,aps,89&sr=8-5) and I walked into Wickes and unknowingly picked up 3 connected together. Scanned through as £9.99. Profit!
I tried to use the cheapo ones. Because I couldn't be bothered to go get the plugs.
But they just slid right through the ceiling!
Yeah they definitely make a difference. I bought basic rawl plugs which work for standard stuff but Fischer for anything meaningful.I tried to use the cheapo ones. Because I couldn't be bothered to go get the plugs.

I nearly wrecked a wall using those nasty corkscrew ones. Said good for plasterboard. Just didn't work for me. These things haven't let me down yet

Relearned wallpapering after a twenty year break. Did not waste one drop.

The proper original "rawplug" rawlplugs are decent...

Up and a (relatively) early start
Got the saw horse set up with the intention of cutting the last timber delivery into 12" lengths / rounds
Also tried standing the saw horse in an old builders bag to try and catch most the chippings ...
First time using the DeWalt battery chainsaw and am very impressed just needed to watch the oil level as she's quite thirsty and does chew through batteries if cutting larger pieces
Had the maul and axe out to mix it up a bit and any "down time" between charges
Took a good 6 hours or so to cut them all up and load into the new store (wanted to tidy the area up) even though I'll have to lug them all out again to split ..
They are 3 rounds / lengths deep so a fair old stock
There were a few gnarly pieces and a few large rounds I put into the smaller store
The last of the seasoned stuff on the top shelf.
Other large store is rammed and the splits drying nicely
Decent amount of wood chip from the session
Put It in the "woodland" area in the back garden
Had a good sweep and tidy up where they had been stored / processed
That's it for today
Job very well done!
Have you tried using DeWalt Chain Oil? The reason I ask, is because I have one of their chainsaws, and at the moment I have a standard chain oil, which it seems to spray around rather a lot, and it makes me wonder if the DeWalt oil is a bit thicker?

Thanks !
No, just standard oil. There was a bit of excess on the chain but have added a grommet / washer to type oil res plug which apparently does help leakage
I’m not sure this ever stops… new job, new tool and all that.
Those plugs are the best things since sliced bread and recommend them to everyone.

I love a bit of accidentail shoplifting. We bought some plants this weekend but the guy scanned two incorrectly. We gave one back because it wasn't in the deal (as always happens at garden centres) and the manager wiped both off the bill, so we got one free plant for £12.99. We went back in and got the correct deal afterwards, so I suppose it wasn't a full win-win.

What tools you hanging, as that looks quite a small gap.Getting fed up of tools lying around shed.
No. This isn't a ladies toy. It's a hook for some of my garden tools.
Printing now!

All mine are hanging on big screws.
My fiskars tool heads.
I'll screw the print into the wall and mount the heads on the protrusion.

Fair enough, thought you meant things with handles. I'd not thought of shed brackets before, good idea to print them. I assume a pressure washer?My fiskars tool heads.
