They are parasites Dan. The sooner the public realise this the better.

My business is a sawmill. We find very little demand for our waste. As has been said a lot of it is rather thin. It is all unseasoned and in long lengths, so needs a lot of processing and drying for a year. Most people just can’t be bothered. Even at £25 per ton bundle we can’t get rid of it all. If I were prepared to deliver I might get more takers, but at that price it is just not worth it. So lots of good potential firewood, but not enough people willing to put in the effort to convert and dry.

Yes, bacterial canker. Interesting to see shot from further back - those shots have epicormic sprouting which is not quite normal in healthy hc. Keep watching, can be slow decline and eventually canopy starts dying back - have removed a couple in our village with this.

I used bark a little bit when starting out, used to click the cheeky leads nobody answered for £3 so worth a punt. They pushed it up so far nowadays it's £30-35, just to get the customer phone number to find out what the job is or even if there is a job. Gone bonkers.

Crowdfunder for the Waxy Lemon's 'legal fees', incoming. He's probably on license from jail still.

Its ok , the fall off from saw Mills, some of it can be quite thin,others can be mega chunky .. Is it cheap?

Poss bacterial canker of chestnut?

Hi Came across this today and it’s something I’ve never seen before. Tree has a good healthy looking canopy. Any thoughts on what might be going on here? Thanks in advance

Walked passed these while shutting a gate by a farm. Not something you see very often, I did wonder about making a bid.... yonks ago, Denn8ngs of Chard used to fit surplus Spitfire and Hurricane wheels to their mobile saw benches.

Does anyone know where I can get ibc crates from in the south West? Looking to buy in bulk but can take smaller loads

Yes but most parks will not be registered common land and neither is CRoW access land. Often common land is also covered by local byelaws, mind I am not aware of a byelaw covering climbing trees, free climbing was a boyhood activity on the common here.

Potato crates? They have small gaps to allow airflow but still keep the wood in, would depend if you had a method of moving them once full

Just wondering if anyone has had experience getting waste from sawmills that they process into firewood? Would be interested if this would be a viable source of timber?

You are allowed to climb on common land ie. Parks. Just be courteous.

Very nice. Wish my body was 20 years younger still! Used to enjoy that stuff.

Work up front, so to speak.

We're back to trust. Most of my new clients for the disco are happy to pay a deposit after signing a contract, but prefer to pay the balance in cash on the night, when they can see the whites of my eyes. Regular clients are allowed far more relaxed terms. Trust. When someone pees in the water supply ( such as the last minute christening passed on to me who stiffed me for £200 and the venue for £400 ) you tend to mistrust all customers for a while after.

He says he was approached and about to be attacked - defending himself... but... skipping the country doesn't do him much credit. In the underground station - crawling with CCTV to clear his name. [Suspect that he has a hot line to a lawyer - his line of work sees him close to the legal limit very often - and has been interviewed by police enough to know the system, not be fazed by it, able to put a rational reason forward.. yet still runs away]

Was only 210 per arctic load

Sounds about right ,it would be Thames valley power group . Clowns on the phone ... good thing to look at a map before you send an artic my way

That's a few years ago and that's if it didnt get rejected

Bound to be, the place has been closed and demolished apart from a gas fired turbine. One of the local farmers tried to get them to take woodchip from his short rotation willow planting, the railway from Bristol that delivered the coal ran through his farm, but they wouldn't entertain it. It grew rank and he had to give it away, must have been 20 years ago.

Yaxley-Lennon skipped the country to avoid arrest for injuring someone!

Depends , what services was it ? When I worked for kier who I don't know from anywhere i asked for money up front.. I also turned down a 50k job with them also because it would have been such a **************** about and could have made me go bankrupt ....so yeah I'm at that point where I'm not bothered about work I've either got my t&c s or il do another job that I know will pay. That's it really , and don't care 😂
