the 'todays job' thread

[5 shires]

Timon I know exactly how you feel but us good hearted guys never learn our lessons cause there is something in us kind hearted people who just don’t ever learn,I can’t remember how many times I have been on jobs were other trades are working and they say I have a log burner or a open fire and would it be ok to have a few logs and you say ya course only to come back next day to find not just a few gone but the lot.i don’t do logs as such but have a few people i deliver cut timber to and they split and log it up there’s selfs and i make a few £££’s for myself.

 Anyway it happened again this weekend,guy fitting blinds in conservatory asked if he could have a few logs,I had felled a beautiful cherry,cut all limbs 4” and above into small logs sections and main stem into rings,2 medium sized Ash same a good pickup load and ready to collect Sunday morning,tuned up and he had left about 2 wheel barrows full and like you I go beyond being angry as it’s my fault for saying yeas rather then no,will we ever learn?

Yeah, know that feeling but at the end of the day it's only firewood; is it worth getting het up about?  The good people make up for it in the long run in my eyes.

I think that’s exactly the view these guys have that it’s just only wood but when you spend the time cutting and stacking it for yourself then someone thinks they can just take it without any thought does grind especially when you have knocked a few £££’s off the job for a good will gesture because it’s decent wood burning and you will make a some extra money it really does make you angry for a while...but I don’t let it get to me as line you say end of the day it’s only wood and I feel sorry for assholes who do that sort of thing without any thought and thinking that asking without just taking Gives them the right to take the lot just because they did ask.

Same here, palleted up two loads of big laburnum pieces for a well known member on here. Paid the transport myself in good faith and never heard from him again. Chased him up for it and got zip.
Got past feeling angry about it, kinda feel sorry for people who live their lives like that.

Who was it?

PM sent. I’m not going to shame him in public, he knows who he is...

I think on here those people have been referred to as log gobblins, I call them log rustlers as they know exactly what they are doing is robbing you. They never get offered anything again and in the long run its them that lose out, 'cos good guys will always be good guys and pricks are always going to be pricks ! On a more positive note you've still got your new dog to brighten the day !!

I hate answered questions, they niggle away at the back of my mind for the rest of the day..

 

 

Been working since 3.30 this morning, pretty much all caught, so now I'm bored and just stirring the pot to amuse myself.

Yes ref knobheads will always be knobheads,it’s kinder like the people who never offer you a cup of tea all day,it’s not that they don’t want to it’s just the way they have been brought up and to them it’s the norm not to offer you a drink,just the way some people are,wouldn’t do for us to all be the same,and yeas your spot on I have a new pup to soften the blow if losing some logs.??
