What's the general outlook this year

[Backpain]

Just wondered how other firewood suppliers were finding this year.

 

It's started with a bang for me compared with last year, but I'm only small scale compared with others. I've had an influx of log orders over the last 3 weeks and yet on Sunday I thought I was going to pass out on account of it being 27 degrees C / 40ft up a tree ringing wet with sweat.....nothing new there though.

 

Still not got a processor yet but the wife splits 4 loads a day which is easily enough and it keeps her in shape instead of shelling out on stupid gym fees.

They guy I was working for the other day is selling loads. He must have had 5 calls in the space of about an hour at one point during the day

[Mark Bolam]

My mate Stevo has 8 orders in (L200 D/C) whereas I have none (Transit) because my loads are more expensive than his.

 

Hey ho.

She's a good old stick, but I've got to be honest she's been known to nip over to the shop to buy the odd bag of kindling.....whats that all about. I tell her just knock one of those pallets down!!!!

What's gone wrong?

Very busy doing Landscaping, grass cutting and trees.

Firewood was just something to do when work was quiet

Logs tend to be the poor relation to everything else that goes on in the yard. Ok when work is quiet unless you get the timber free I find it pays about ten quid an hour when you realistically break it down.
