  1. sorry dave i know its personal to you, but the same would be if i bought milk or even a tv....... but i will haggle on a car......cos they expect that
  2. i recon 12ton if fresh cut so will go for 9 ton
  3. good question huck, it is arb logs after all, must be for habitat piles then as it could be rotten and diseased:sneaky2:
  4. oooohhhh that gets my goat, both comments if they dont want to pay, they dont want the product i had one customer that tried to stiff me for a tenner, so i took his money and then proceded to throw some logs back on..... he soon paid up one lesson i have learnt is the next person to call will buy the logs, i cant be bothered with the haggling when i buy my fuel at texaco i pay what it is on the pump.... no argument, no haggle no discount for cash why should logs be any different
  5. is arb waste any good for firewood and worth £800??? sign out front "Cheap Firewood, fill your boot for £10" no hastle, just money:thumbup1:
  6. hmmmm this hay making lark seems easier than the forestry "The rate is £9 tonne for logs and bars, £13 for fencing and £6 for chip. As you get paid for what you cut down then you can do how every many days in the week you like to work around yourself. You will have to supply your own fuel. you will get paid every 2 weeks and when your wood is extracted out of the woodland" i've been told it takes around an hour to bale 1000 smale bails, not including cutting and spinning before hand though
  7. £4.50 just to bail it round here, not sure how much its sold for
  8. from experience it is hard, but just persist and be polite, everntually oyu may get somewhwere, after you get your first place its easier to move around IF you have been a good tennent. but yes it can be a case of have money to make money
  9. theres a mark up???? tell me more
  10. we had those in cardiff last week, they were up and down in a day!!!
  11. hard or softwood???
  12. thats a lot of saws, i only use ms360 with 18" bar, got rid of 3120 as never used it and i've done some big stuff. got a pic of the "netting machine"??? never seen one and with workshop, do you mean work bench with a vice,....... cos thats all i got Zac, you need determination and persistance.....loads of it:001_smile:
  13. and breathe 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.......
  14. you can get bags made of corn starch, but they are not very strong cardboard box is the one surely
  15. i did like this link, but think its a bit basic http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/7712-free-bbq-offer-most-supermarkets.html but this is the real mans one on ebay
  16. i'm looking for a good bbq....got to be large, oil drum size, with a hotplate and preferably with a spit (electric) got my eye on a real mans bbq on tbay but at 300 quid i think its a bit steep now i know for a hotplate i could just lay some sheet metal down on grill, so i suppose i am looking for spit ideas oh yeah, posted this in firewood for the charcoalers who may know:001_cool:
  17. thats what i sell larch for!!! and it flies out the door, some customers cant get enough of it:thumbup:
  18. 1) only billet if i really have too 2) horizontal is my prefered choice 3) crane or similar implement is a must 4) clueless. where are you?? you could come see my setup
  19. supplier near me already has it and says good things but for me....... not at all interested, lining directors pockets with easy money from my hard work make it free and i'll think about it, but i know there is a lot of paperwork with this and the wood has to monitered and recorded throughout the drying process. more time not spent producing or delivering the product ""I'm out""
  20. those are the guys who have it down south
  21. well if theres not one available or big enough, or if they just dont want it..... then its anyones game dont be put off by the bigboys!!!
