-
i like trees but they always seem to grow in someones way
-
i like trees but.... once they are dead they do heat the house and feed the wife and kids
-
too many machines on demo circuit not demoing!!! not enough bins! not enough toilets and what an awful state the ones i used were in! thanks for the beer lee. poor signage for carparks... dont you agree dean?? lol price, food etc been to the past 6 apfs, i thought locherbie one was poor and so was this one. it just seemed to lack something.... inspiration? i enjoyed both the ragley ones but this one did'nt seem to do it for me. i go to these shows to see the stuff i'm intrested in working, and alot of it wasn't and couldn't the only harvester i saw working was on the big screen if this is the way forward then i'll save my money and just watch a dvd

hey mr ed. if you sell equipment, why weren't you there?
-
i think he was a bit further on by the first main corner to go down hill. nice to meet you lee and steve, jonsie was a bit busy to talk to. i was there on the thursday, good show, but demo area was mainly "look at what big machines i've got" and not much working. came away depressed cos could not afford any of it, and un-inspired cos there is less work available for it. dont think i live in the right area for half of it!!

have you been shopping in ALDI lately? if not get down there and try the meatballs. apparently they are the dogs bolloks
-
jeez mate thats bad. and i thought i was havin a bad week i nearly lost my right hand a few years ago and underwent a lot to get it back working again and then broke my leg. loosing a leg is definatly worse. your old man has all my sympathy
-
what did you use to get them so smooth??
-
ahh, come on, you could go on your own, you don't have to bring the wife and grandparents:001_tongue:
-
ok heres a question for you why is it that people who have logs for a fire in the house, store them as far away form the house as possible?????
-
i usually get " can you stick it all round the back in the shed?" yes love will cost you £12 per m3 plus an extra £8 for not pre booking the stacking service before i deliver " what??? the coal man does it for free!!!" yeah, i aint the coalman and mine aint in bags!! another one is " ah i see the barrow is on the back, can you just take it down the side of the house, down the back of the garden and stack behind the shed?" certainly sir, that will cost an extra £30 "just tip it where you are my man"
-
yeah i charge £12 for that now, when i put it up to £10 people till took it, now its £12 theres not so much intrest...... i'll put it upto £15 next time. hate stacking, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, and it hurts my back
-
didn't like them the steel toe cap rim always cut into my toes on the joints and always got really bad sweat rash
-
if i could sell it all fresh and cut to each customers requirments,for use next year, i would!
-
same as steve really 10"as standard but could be smaller, any other size is cut to order with advance booking. come to the conclusion that no matter what size they are you will not please everyone. too small, big, fat, thin, long, short. wrong shape, not 1/2 round, too much dust. too dry, burn too fast, dont delivery on a rainy day the list goes on.................................
-
includes the air aswell for that price. if they want solid wood stacked, then that takes time and labour, so it would cost more!! i advertise mine as " a cubic meter of loose split wood, tipped off on delivery" if they want it barrowed/carried and stacked on delivery then they pay for that too.
-
i'm 55 but know of others charging 75 put delivery charge on this year for obvious reasons
-
a builders bag is between 0.7 and 0.75m3 ( cubic meter) that guy unloads by hand for that price aswell as free delivery prices in our area average at £60 per m3 + delivery he obviously wants to undercut the competition i too would by the lot
-
happened to be in maplins today to get a fuse for alarm system after some **** tried to break in and knick the gear. anyway bought that moisture meter.. just as good as that protimeter i used to have and only £20 bargain!!
-
