father had 2 blokes on the dole years ago,one split wood all day,the other shovelled sawdust out of the mill pit (whilst running) one got payed in pints of watneys,the other in logs and the odd rabbit,makes these polish labourers look expensive!

october's been my busiest month of the year for probably the last ten years.i'm generally booked up around 10-14 days in advance give or take an odd day left out on purpose for rain,breakdowns etc but when i hit the last week in september the work floods in for october.this can't be a coincidence every year,anyone find the same? is it people rushing to get things done before the clocks change? search me

no disrespect but firewood is beer money,dont rely on it to pay the rent.ten years ago i was selling 30 load a week at £40 a load,minus a cash labourer,diesel,petrol,oil,insurance,breakdowns,wet days,working weekends etc and lucky if i banked £400.i now sell 5 load a week at £60 purely as a by-product,shame but the truth

Payment on completion or send an invoice?
THE88MAN replied to Big 'Ammer's topic in Business Management
IMO bill through post is an invitation of extended credit,bill through door is better,stand on doorstep with pre-typed invoice and space to hand write extras is best! -
they also obviously sniffed out you got stuff worth nicking! you know you made it in life and got assets when mr lee won't leave you alone,perhaps you should raise an arbtalk posse?!! i'd come for the sport............armed

even after a year i would throw it back at them or contact stihl direct.i'm also a tad suspicious of supermarket unleaded,dont ask me why,just a hunch,my first 026 in 1991 lasted 5 years working all day everyday!

thats excessive david,50-1 is fine,just stick to the same system,same oil,same practise of mixing,dont forget with a new saw you have a warranty.if in any doubt just mix 4.5 litres instead of 5litres.couple of years ago i went to work with flu and forgot to mix any oil in a 3 month old husky 357,did three tank fills before it started acting up,put it in van,did same to another before i realised my stupidity,refilled both with mixed fuel and ran them gently for 5 mins,good as new,guess i got lucky,moral of my long winded story being recommended mix is exactly that imo

as you would for guinness consumption my friend....and who can blame you,i love and live on the stuff:001_smile:
