i had to get up this morning at 4:30 to do a gatwick run or it would have been fixed sooner
-
Sorry guys, been having difficulties fixing what turned out to be a very minor issue...everything should be back to normal now!
-
well aside from the safety issues, its the practicality of not having a line up there. what if your saw breaks down for example? you have to spike all the way down to get another one rather than just lowering it down
-
well done jo, top stuff mate
-
wheres your life line?

Trojan, you only need to search through rich's past posts in the picture forum to see the quality of his work:001_cool:
-
can you give any specifics on the nature of the work, ie rail, highways, electric?

i had a sample pallet of briquettes sent over from ireland a couple years ago....they were ok, but very expensive, and a complete nightmare if they got a slight bit of moisture on them. I think its going to be a few years still till anyone other than supermarkets and garages will be able to get away with selling them.

i have the 1x37, pretty happy with it overall
-
£140+vat, havent put my price up yet this year purely because so much of the wood is chestnut, i'd like to be nearer £160 really. will probably go to £150 shortly. im doing mixed loads for £130 and getting plenty of takers.
-
well it doesnt owe me anything so i wouldnt be in the greatest of hurry to sell it to be honest!
-
oooooh haha £4600 and shes yours!
-
3m3 loads i guess last year i must have done about 250ton. this year i have maybe 150t in hand but about 80t of that is chestnut and about 40ton softwood!
-
nah £80 isnt really the end of the world....but its just something else to consider. 8 months of the year im paying that and its not really earning me anything
-
nah.....in fairness i do have other things that i could expand on if only i had the time. thats another problem with firewood....too time consuming for little return
-
same as i do now!!!! nothing!
-
i dont get enough waste to make it viable...i have to buy in. at the moment i pay £80 per month for my yard, which to be honest, if i didnt sell firewood i would no longer need.....plus my processor which i could sell now for what i paid for it 5 years ago. I'd also no longer need my ldv as a small van such as a mercedes vito would be great for contract climbing and could be kitted out inside very nicely indeed. its a very tempting proposition.
-
im strongly considering getting out of firewood...ive been saying that for the past couple of years now, but looking at the figures this year i just dont see its feasable without putting my prices up a lot higher than id be happy about. is anyone else in a similar situation? i heard of one haulier selling cord at £60 a ton not far from me....not even worth considering buying at that money!!
-
i didnt realize you had email, after all, you never responded to any of mine
-
i'd say no....looks like theres some decay at the union.
-
i would imagine any of the site sponsors who deal with fletchers would have them...ie. all of them pretty much!!!
-
theres a bit of that, but possibly also the whole landscaping business is just too broad to cover in one forum.
-
there will always be a certain amount of cross over between the 2

Bought top soil from an Arborist Comapny

windblown spores more than likely -
same can be said for tree surgeons carrying out crappy landscaping though matty! ive seen plenty of that too....but i agree with the sentiment, stick to what you know
