ok its december and in 3 days i have seen 3 wasps flying around and today i saw a red admiral flutterby. anyone else seen anything bizare

i think it should've read.... a minimum of 3 months 4 seasons to a year 3 months to a season 3 months in a good summer = dry wood, especially ash sycamore, hawthorn, lime, alder, beech, larch..................but not oak, or poplar. and yes i have dried it in 3 months and yes it was moisture tested to see if it works and they were cut in half you need a lot or space, air flow and sun/heat to work, but will not work if all in one big pile

noooooo, becarefull with that one, it only stacks up to 0.7-0.8 of a M3, they will have you on that. just say its loose tipped volume would fill an area of your above quote:thumbup1:

not many on oil in the city

by the rate wood is NOT going out, i think we aready have killed the market, sales this year are pretty dire, with little repeat custom (mainly new fire installs i'm suppling) alredy looking into ending an era:thumbdown:

good man, but see if you can hire a machine, speedy hire do them quite cheap for the weekend i think, be much easier:thumbup1:

best source a splitter then mate, at £30per ton for rings, (the most time consuming and labour intensive way) i cant see anyone taking them...........except for some sucker on fleabay:lol: good luck:thumbup1:

i'd like to say its a goshawk or lanner falcon, but i think it may be a sparow hawk, i have seen them take pidgeons in our yard

old st'mellons mate. you name it, i've tried it when it comes to firewood production

one of the things you cant buy is time, and you cant change the past. who cares what you do is right or wrong, as long as you 2 enjoy it. teach reading, writting and maths (spelling helps too) the rest is all fun. my boys mum died when he was 5, she was 28, so i have to do it all, i spent more time at work and neglected my son, until one day i realised he was growing up too fast. he is now 10, i make sure i am home most nights to put him to bed, once a week we go to canoe club, where the most coments i get are "does your son ever stop smiling" i wish i could go back in time, but i cant. i just make sure i do what i can in the time i have. my 2 yr old gets spoilt something terrible. i do recommend swimming lessons though, water can be fun when you are confident in it, even just jumping waves at the beach, or the rope swing in a tree over the river good luck stevie, just bear in mind that some kids out there dont even know who thier dads are, let alone spend any time with them if the boys are smiling, then your doing it right

same as mine mate, japa 700 and 10 ton table top splitter...............but i do have more. feel free to pop in if ever in cardiff mate

you guys will be cooking your food in a COBB barbq next....i got one

i smell firewood. whats happening with the wood??????

think it s the weather....appparently 6 degrees above average not had a frost here, and not seen gritters out on road yet

well said dean:thumbup1:

me kardiff boy likey. can we have more pics please

the guy has got ambition, i'll give him that. i often find with texting and typing that what is written often does not come across quite as it should. and i think this is what has happened with this thread i started off with a 8ton table for £1.5k top 9 yrs ago working part time, i now own a heizohack, 2 tractors, 2 processors, 2 tabletops, 30 ton splitter, 1 van, 1 landy 1 tipper trailer, 2 ag trailers and 2 chainsaws and turn over 40k+. i also sell wood all year round, and this year sold more in the summer than i have in the past 2 months its hard work, some days i love it, others i hate it, and the same with the customers. SAM where are you based?? and if i were you i would be splitting the wood into that nice airy barn in the background of your photo

yeah, thats dec. what about the rest of the year???

yeah, and the rest, the more you do the more it costs and the less space you have

wage from where????

60 ton cord = 120 m3 (approx) i DO this full time, not a huge turnover profit margin not great, overheads quite high for the product. 120m3 will last me 3 weeks if lucky good luk sam, but do the maths mate

so you spent 22k just to see how it goes??? will you use the tools for anything else???

not yet:sad: but still time:001_smile:

22k spent, approx 8k wood sales:confused1: dont give up the day job just yet:sneaky2:

and what will you do throughout spring and summer, how will you get money to live???
