Firewood for me is only for pocket money really, only worth doing if there's nothing else you can do on say rainy days or days when you have no work in, it definately wouldn't be worth me doing if I had to buy my wood in unless it was a full time occupation and I was setup for mass production

Just don't have the time or the inclination.

 

I can make far more money taking em down than chopping em up

If you dont really want to do it and dont really need to do it and dont have a huge pile to shift then put your prices up. Three years ago a transit load was £60 round here. I was pushing my prices up every year. This year I will be doing seasoned beech for £145 for 2cmetres in december I will put it up. Some years i am slow until January but if you keep your head most people run out its easier to stay cool if you dont have a mountain of the stuff. Its seriously hard work and no one should have to slave for their money. I think to make it worth while you need to get around £90 a cube. People selling it in builders bags are getting this cos there is only about 1/2 a cube in a bag.

I've been on ebay bidding on pondliners that start at 99p ended up with two really big ones for £50 inc postage.

 

I am starting to cover my logpile up with them to keep them dry and process them from the pile as well as filling the barn. It will be easier (handling them only once) splitting them straight into the truck from the log pile and delivering.

 

My problem before was drying them out from the pile in the barn but if I cover them at the end of summer (if e get one) that should meanI dont need to put them under cover

 

So far I have got myself about 56 sq/m of that thick rubber pond liner works a treat

I have a company in wiltshire who I ask nicely gives me there old curtain siders. there business is fitting new ones. I like the green ones as they blend in with the trees and dont attract attention.

IME mate dont cover them.

 

We did that with tarpaulin sheet and they did not dry out at all, they sort of sweated under the sheet.

 

They need a good circulation of air, just a cover to stop rain hitting them but cover them high up if you understand what I am prattling on about
