Netting logs

[andy cobb]

I completely agree with what has been said about encouraging him.

ive had a word with his dad tonight and we've decided to go with 25p a net to begin with and alter if needed. I did a few earlier today and think I was about a minute or just over, but that was doing a few and I realise that that rate won't be achievable over a longer period.

The lad has only recently been adopted by his new parents (approx 12 month ago)

after what has been according to my friend a helish childhood including violence and mental abuse going back many years.

Conciquencially he's had very little education and is several years behind, so his parents are really encouraging anything that can help him in the future and with what will be a vocational education.

He helped us last week do the injection pump, lift pump and timing on my defender and after explaining how each bit worked was full of questions about how they all worked together etc.

really encouraging to see, and he seemed to thoroughly enjoy being covered in oil!

He may be a person well worth training up and going that little bit extra with, a little kindness may be all he needs.

He's already a very industrious young lad, helping his dad with fixing cars, vale ting them and now starting a log packing empire.

me and his dad talked about him helping me building (our main work) but the insurance couldn't be worked out for someone his age.

Shame really, at his age I'd already bought my first ride on mower.. if a 13 or 14 year old went into buy one now they probably wouldn't be allowed! I did have to get my old fella to buy my first saw at 15 though.

I hope it works out for both of you, log bagging can be therapeutic in it's own way. He might like it.
