    she could be a registered childminder like my wife, she gets paid to say at home and look after y kids whil looking after others, earns around £8-900pm, would be more if my kids were'nt taking up 2 places averaging £250-350 per child per month

    logs can be hard work and space to keep the dry is a neccessity, but idiot proof it is not. as you say tractors break down and the machines are'nt the strongest built things and then you find out the staff has not set the right length on the machine and it all has to be cut again, it also gets quite tedious after a while and motivation drops

    why not put splitter next to log pile and throw them? i feel it may be a waste of money to buy a conveyor to only move the wood 3-5 meters

    why is it when you are really busy in work, all the machinery will break down but when its quiet and no rush on, everything works fine why do all government organisations find the most difficult and complicated ways to do the simplest of things?????????

    they stuck around for a conversation about what they did and took notice of the advice given....... that says something on its own. i'll not defend what they did or how they did it, but how many new to the industry wannabe newbies do we all now of that cannot sharpen a saw and would make do with whatever equipment they can get hold of. as mentioned earlier it was more a case of ignorance

    exactly the same here, got to keep an eye on the stove whilst working so the fire dont die down. buy bigger capacity machine and produce more split wood before the summer
  22. firewoodman
    one thing i will mention is if the stove is lined with firebricks, try to get one with clay firebricks and not vermiculite. the latter crack very easily

    not swept mine for 3 years either. sweeps in my area rave about how clean the chineys are of my customers. one customer was not charged for a sweep as nothing came out. water in wood causes tarring, not resin in softwood. a hot fire will self clean a chimney, if you burn coal you will need to sweep

    i personally wouldnot buy british stoves and would go for a jotul i'm not saying all british are bad, and god knows we need the indusrty here but the european brands are far better quality.imo
