What if you did not have space for a cooker? Anyway he has now found a good supplier, the very supplier that many of those who are dismissing his complaints are always bitching about
-
Yes thats fine, but the OP has been buying and paying for seasoned. When you go to a restaurant you expect the food to be cooked and cooked well, if you found it was under cooked how would you feel if the manager suggested you stopped moaning and cooked it yourself? If you want uncooked you go to a shop, not a restaurant. The comments on this thread really do show there is a real issue with the attitude of many log suppliers, IMO.

If only it were that simple
-
The attitude of some in this thread simply back up the OP's description of the attitude he has encountered.
-
I think the OP is describing a very common situation. I see some appalling timber in pub's, it only burns as they mix it with coal. The reason it's so common and continues is the fact that so many people have no concept as to how good well seasoned timber burns. Many years ago I used to supply a local log seller, he would collect and deliver the split logs, he was more than happy to collect green willow and deliver it straight to his clients

You can blast with different materials for delicate stuff, I believe baking soda is good for car restoration. -

I wonder how they cope with paint? I presume they are simply accelerating oxidisation? in the same way as gas cutting. Blasting is good because it removes paint etc, if this just removes the rust but leaves manky paint on you're not much nearer really. -
Yes, I've just had a biggish job removing loads of leylandii, the last few, which where huge, were best accessed via the field. But the job was priced in october, only got the go ahead in Jan. Field sodden, so took the little 4X4 forklift and brought the timber out down a path. added about a day to the job, but thats life, if all had gone hunky dory and I'd finished a day early I would not have reduced the price.
-
Nasty! Not seen it on either myself, presumably you have advised removal?

Winter days are shorter, the weather is generally worse. The last thing I would want is people pushing more to have their work carried out in the winter months, I struggle to fit in the current demand as it is. Most work is carried out within the season its quoted, trees in leaf look bigger, so I don't really see an issue.
-
Nope, but I give up
-
Clearly you just wish to argue rather than see the point.
-
Yes thats the point! They are being done for peanuts by the unskilled, because the equipment is cheap and available. I do still get some, but not like I used to.

Thing is a few years back chippers were rare and expensive. When I First started I would not see another chipper from one month to the next, customers were intrigued when they saw mine, as they had never seen one before. These days it's very rare for me to go a day without seeing a another chipper, often see 2 or more. They are everywhere. As Mark says, this leads to all the easy jobs, the cream, where you would do it on the way home after another job or do 5 or 6 in a day and make really good coin are gone. 15 years ago I was making far more than I am now, it was great!

No its a half heard term. Some numb nut hears someone with knowledge discussing "crown lifting" or "crown reduction" or even in the old days "crown thinning", but later can only recall the term "crown" so they use it in an effort to sound like they have a clue

Thats not how diffs work, grip would stop the wheel, the other wheel on the same axel without resistance would spin.
-
Looks like you are a Vos fan.
-
Yes there is a central diff lock, but that simply takes you from one wheel drive (one wheel on the front or rear axel, which ever offers the least resistance, IE permanent 4X4) to two wheel drive, one front one back.
-
Tyre pressure is the thing, you need tyres that you can let down very low so the tyre is flexing as you drive, this lets the mud fall out.

Bang on!!! But why go for the little people? He should have gone for the fat cats, IMO.
