what logs have you been chopping today!

[GarethM]

Because in your picture there are two posts either side of the gate, that look like power lines and a grab can't be used within about 10m of uninsulated lines.

 

We're not being dismissive, just world weary after 10+ years of doing firewood. We all work in a particular often redneck fashion as the one size processor doesn't.

Pole mounted transformer to the left of the log pile in the photo, to the right of the gate another pole - yellow "Danger of Death" sticker on it, looks like 3 insulators on top, also a power line, and though I can't see it I would be guessing that the power lines run from the gate pole to the transformer... and right above the drive.

Wow. Commenting on a photo with no perspective and never been there. How odd. It’s 3 acres and the power line only run down one side? Not even sure why there’s a need. You two got nothing better to do than be keyboards warriors? 

[Steven P]

You're telling us that the driver wouldn't unload there and looking at the photo that appears to be an obvious reason why. Not really a thing to be arsy about. And in other news today I've just read was the Window Cleaner whose poles got to close to the overhead 33kV line causing a flash over, still in hospital, lost a leg and an arm I think.

Well it's a three phase pole mounted transformer with the three cut outs on the side, possibly 11kv or greater.

 

Sadly it's called knowing your stuff as obviously the driver wouldn't unload for a reason, or just an argumentative customer?.

Ah, so now I’m argumentative? Hmm you’ve never met me, nor been to site but yet you’ve made assumptions, you seem to believe are facts. What an insight into your personality traits and upbringing.

Oh dear. There’s seems to be some daddy issues going on here. Flex your knowledge some more for me hun x

[Steven P]

The Danger of Death label will tell you what it is but yes, it is going to be something in that order, maybe 3.3kV - still enough to cause some 'issues' to the driver, the truck and perhaps the wider local community if you strike it.

[Just_me]

Omg hahaha. Flex that personality. 

[GarethM]

Look bud, this isn't a pissing contest you want to have. Quite a few of us here have been in the firewood and farming game for longer than I care to think about.

 

I may have many issues, daddy ones no. My general issue is the NFGiven to people that think they know better, I'm sure one of the other guys to reply works for the DNO at times.
