all done and dusted

[richardwale]

Like all the other replies, good luck and hope it all goes well. Got any proper advice for the small time log seller like me? Would be very interested in your opinion and experience. Thanks

good luck, with what ever you do,

 

why did you leave your business?

 

what you planning on doing?

[firewoodman]

All the best chap! I'm based in Cardiff and fortunately get timber from various sources for free but have heard of the 'large' firewood companies around here, which one were you?

 

Good luck in the future. For what it's worth, we need some fencing doing, do you do that? Experienced etc?

 

I was Ty Nant Timber, were you a customer??

 

it would depend on what type of fencing it is, its been a while if i'm honest, but i'm for it

thanks mate

 

after slipping a disk 4 times, and turning 40, I couldnt see myself still doing the same at 50, so change now.

 

plus I had been thinking of changing for a few years, but it is hard to let go of a business.

 

also sales arent as good as they used to be with so mant people doing it, so got out whilst still on top before the ship sinks.

 

off into garden maintenance and small landscaping now, hard work starting up again, but with hard work comes more satisfaction

Firewoodman, Just want to say all the best in your new ventures and if you need to borrow anything and I have it then give me a shout. Just want to say a big thank you for the long term loan of the Jappa, which really got me going especially with the firewood frame work timber which has now died a death thanks to those great big fires they built in Port Talbot and Aberthaw. Like you I started the firewood side of things because I enjoyed it but it's really now a pain in the arse, especially trying to find decent timber at a decent price so to pass onto local people at a reasonable price. I'm seriously looking at moving north with Nic (Nicola!, in case anyone is wondering) having spent nearly the last weeks near Glenelg and southern Skye and seeing the possibilities of mobile processing combined with forestry work with our options of possibly buying a few holiday cottages to run its worth considering the change, like you at the achy age of forty and my back and wrists getting worse then life changing decisions need to be made.

 

So good luck buddy and I'm sure we will be bumping into each other soon!

Aye, not paddled the usk for a while. A few of the tribs are fun. I like the one which goes under I think dickie valentine's bridge. Can't remember the name of it though.
