    Is 98% of the earths oxygen not produced by algae in the sea?? I wonder how many trees are felled because the owner is concerned that they may be TPO's in the future. I also think that TPO'd trees should be maintained by the state, it just seems wrong to me that people are made to keep trees they not like for the sake of others and stand the cost of their maintenance.

    I'm on at lest one council list of "Approved contractors" although its a petty extensive list, so I'm not sure how helpful it is.

    Is it legal and safe to mix them? and what mix is best? Spraying is not something I do much, but I've got a fair bit of our own land to sort.

    Why are people so inarticulate that they feel the need to resort to expletives?? Trying to find ways around the rules always ends in them being broken, IMO.

    I think the growth rings indicate Yew, I don't think any other softwood have such tight rings/slow growth.

    Yikes!!!!! Could the driver not have stuffed it into something before he got to the bottom of the hill? My grandma aways told of a time her and my granddad were in the lakes, she was driving (she generally did) at the top a very steep hill she exclaimed that the brakes had failed, the peddle just hit the floor. Cool as a cucumber my granddad leans over takes hold of the wheel and stuffs the car into the drystone wall, my grandma was appalled!! until he pointed out it was far better to hit the wall here at low speed rather than at the bottom of hill doing who knows what speed!!!

    A lot will depend on how warm you want your pool, I like ours around 34C.

    Sustainably sourced fire wood is carbon neutral.

    How much kiln dried have you burnt?
  16. skyhuck
    Are these costs not covered by the premium of a better product, less storage required, reduced handling and the fexabily to meet market demand.

    Outstanding!! You can actually see the technic developing as they are going up:thumbup:

    Makes you wonder why so many idiots have been cutting and stacking timber to dry, when they could have simply stripped the bark. Also why the milling industry waste so much time sawing and stacking the green timber, when they could simple remove the bark, leave to dry and then cut dry stable boards, without the risk of warping. I've been selling round wood for over 10 years, often its been down for years, with no bark, sure it looses some water, but I've never found it to fully season. Loads that would weigh 25t green have been around 19/20t, so still plenty of water in there. This timber will burn (so long as its hard wood) and as most people have never burned truly dry timber they will be happy and its way better than the freshly felled some sell, just hope no one gives them a few realy dry logs and opens their eyes.

    Looks like a beautiful tree, wonder if it should really be TPO's??? after all its clearly falls within the category of being under threat

    Circular saw blade????

    From what I see round my way what you need to be a tree surgeon is a B&Q saw and a trailer to go behind the family car

    I would imagine wear will greatly depend on how much timber is loader at a time and the average diameter/length of the timber.

    Trolling?????? Grow up!! I too am expressing an opinion
  24. skyhuck
    How ridiculous, do you think decorators, restaurant owners, mechanics, gardeners, vegetable growers, etc, etc, sulk when they see people doing what are pretty much every day tasks????? Once of a day everyone would have cut their own fuel, but times change and many choose not to and pay others for the service, but many get satisfaction from doing their own, good for them I say, beats paying for a gym membership

    Very low, it won't register on the two moisture meters I've tried, they both read 0%. And that was from the centre of a newly split log. Most people are only burning semi dry timber, (including me until recently) this is well illustrated by the way people insist on hardwood, semi dry hardwood will burn, but not semi dry softwood. Fire wood sellers are processing from the round and sending it straight out as seasoned, it does not matter how long its been felled it can't dry in the length. It looses some moisture, but its by no means dry. Look at the price of imported kiln dryer, there is a reason people are prepared to pay those prices.
