Bloody hell, so what happened, the high water level firced the machine over and also causedabit of a land slide, also I that processor operational, I suppose as Iits all hyhydraulic hoses it should be ok and shouldn't let any crap in the pipes, probably will need to just clean the silt out of rollers, splitter ram etc which may have jammed

Tried some of the green garden mesh in front of some shed but sadly it did not work. The mesh does catch the rain but as the droplets form on it they then get blown back into the sheds. To be fair yesterday was pretty bad and logs are all soaked again. Going to have go for a tarp or maybe a lightweight frame with some polytunnel plastic stretched across it and place in front of the sheds.

Only "pretty bad"? It was flippin horrendous here!

 

I drove to north cornwall yesterday, past flooded houses, collapsed roads, big trees over...

Have any of you struggled to supply customers because of not getting/keeping logs dry, when we struggled a few years back we just warned them that the logs may be a little wetter that they should, most people especially the regulars didnt mind, all I suggested was star a load of logs infront of the fire just to help them dry ready for the following evening,
