Yeah just put some cones around anything you want gone and it will disappear by the morning

 

If I had a decent sized yard I could prob have a good few hundred ton in a year.

 

Although 90% would prob be pop:001_smile:

 

Timber is more of a hindrance than a product but I can see that changing within next few years.

The thing is now more people are burning wood the less wood WE will get, I don't takeaway half the about of wood to day that I did 12months ago.

 

Even on council jobs they are sending a truck for the timber.

 

And on private jobs if the customer doesn't burn wood they know some one who does.

 

I reckon soon we will be taking very little wood home.

I take about 10% of the timber i produce home with me. By january this year firewood was almost non existent down here, and there was a six week wait to buy a stove.

thanks the the storms over the last wek i now have plentys of timber to sell for next year and to be honest if anyone wants to buy it this year i will be more than happy to sell it green. as for the origional post i think that there wil always be the oppertunist fool out there willing to work for free , i have just quoted for 1000 meters of clearence for a new section of foot path to go in , i quoted jusk over 10k and who ever the other person is has quoted less than 6k lol , but to be honest if he wants to work on a site with poor access and a poor job brief that could see him there for longer then expected then good luck to him .

Plenty wood up here to,we've jist cut 100tonne of hardwood and i sold the lot for £32 at roadside.Had that myself twice lately CTS on big jobs,as you say the job might overrun.Theres always somebody going to quote cheaper!
