the 'todays job' thread

[Mortimer Firewood]

Been a sad git today and stood in front of the processor then delivered two bags this afternoon with two more loaded for morning

[Mortimer Firewood]

We are all guilty of that. I need to make more effort myself too. Problem is I have been doing the job so many years that unless I do something extraordinary I just don't feel the need to photo or video it, need to get out of that train of thought

 

To be honest steve the bigger the job is the less likely i am to take photos when i came to build our site i had to beg and borrow stuff we have done some nice stuff over the years yet have no evidence of it.

Is that processor new?

[Mortimer Firewood]

No it's clean isn't it the 12 ways new as there was a slight problem with the old one. I've had to work very hard to get all my gear and like to keep it tidy. If you look at an earlier picture of my tree surgery saws some of them are 5 years old but still look clean and tidy.

 

Nowt wrong with a bit of OCD

The farmer wanted us to put it in a pile and he was going to sort it.

 

Reckon there was 25ton of good timber in it.

 

Wish id taken photos of yesterdays job that was better again

 

Thats where photos can be so misleading, looks 10 ton at most in the pictures.

I cut the trunk in to 4 pieces of what I thought would be equal weight his tele refused to pick up one and just about lifted the rest that's a 2.5 ton machine.

With the forks he had I could get a fair pile of cord on and there had to be a ton on each of the 15 trips. Plus 3 spud boxes of dead wood put by his bio mass boiler.

 

We were going to cut a ruff bench out of the bottom of the trunk but it had rot and most of the hart wood had gone shame.

A weekend felling at a stately hall which is about to get restored.

 

I managed to blow the hydraulic radiator somehow so the skid steers down for a few days. We had some free time felling as we were a head so we let lucy whose new to arb work have some felling practice on bigger trees.
