  1. Well you're the one who is wandering around in his Y fronts with his chopper in his hands . Perhaps we could start again at the beginning? Hi I live (general area) I have xyz area of abc timber to fell and process, I have/don't have any qualifications ...yada yada. Then people better qualified than me would be in a better place to answer your questions, too many people turn up on forums and ask the usual "What's the best car/BBQ/fishing rod/router/sewing machine...." ask a silly question get a silly answer. Either that or your a troll or banned ex member or both.
  2. I agree but l would think that the majority of people in the uk prefer bland beef or probably a flabby bit of chicken.
  3. Just me but I would also add in safety gear as well, I see too many people running around with little or no safety gear as well as people wandering into the working area as if they are iron/superman. Chills my bones.
  4. I have a small pile like that but I have a couple of chainsaws, so I just leave them until I have some limbs to cut to length at home and do it all together and that's this mornings job. If you don't cut a lot and also don't want to annoy your neighbours I thoroughly recommend an electric chainsaw.
  5. So what does another region have to do with the USA and in particular a president who wants to resort-ize it? Black Sea anyone? No? Keep your eyes on the prize, Greenland?
  6. With thorn? Not seen that before but hey!
  7. I'm thinking blackthorn and really hoping that it is but I have seen Damson with thorn on it, however not as much as this had. fortunately its 6-9" diameter below it is alder
  8. Great, I know where it is as I left a big X mark on the ground.
  9. I will remember that if I get some, again thanks
  10. Thanks, I thought it was due to the bark and small branches but I have never cut/split any.
  11. I was out for a walk locally and a bit of community woodland had been trimmed back that day and I noticed a small log hadn't been lifted and what made it so noticeable was the colour of the cut end. I've not seen this before any ideas? 48 hrs later and the orange colour is starting to colour the split face too. Forgot to add, very tight grain that doesn't want to split straight or cleanly
  12. We have an older house so it was designed for airflow, however we also have DG and its a bungalow. We keep the lounge door open and a fan blows air into the hall to warm the rest of the house and keep us cooler as it can get up to 24'c easily with the door closed, 19-21 when open. Using the fan means we have a draft but its hardly noticeable. Our stove is 5kw and draws fine even when we are in the middle of storms no blow back. If our house was newer and therefore better sealed then we would have gone for external air but its not so we allow the airflow to keep the inside dry and mostly condensation free.

    Two car driveway adjacent to road, might be a bit tight for articulated lorries but fine for smaller vehicles. We're retired but still active so can usually be about during the day. If phoning please contact by text first as we don't answer unknown numbers
