How should one differentiate between solid measure and loose?

Oy!!!

Sales have seemed to have dropped off a bit for the last week but it has been pretty warm. Hoping to have a few frosts to 1 improve sales, 2 to harden the ground up!

Been a quiet week here. Next week is supposed to be getting colder, hopefully.

Bit slower here as well but we got lucky with some wholesale orders and we need to catch up with drying the logs anyway.

Gdh have you ever found yourself I'm a situation where you can't get the logs dried quick enough to fulfill orders?

[richardwale]

Don't say that! The kiln dried mob will be on you in a flash!!

Yeah a couple of times, once when the boiler for our shed broke and I struggle during February, March time while we're busy lambing. I also made the mistake of having a few days off over Christmas last year just as we had a rush on orders.

 

We stockpile in the summer about 250cube which fills up our space and we can dry 50cube a week in the winter so sometimes we get busy periods but at worst we've just had to apologise and say it will be ready in another week.

 

Before we had the drying shed we would sell out all our stockpile by January then it was a matter of trying to find dry logs in the winter so I won't complain now.

I've been struggling to dry wood enough to keep up with orders lately I'm even sheeting the tops of the stacks of cord but haven't gone to a kiln yet and once cut and split on pallets into the shed with a diesel heater blowing at the logs to try and aid drying at the moment.
