What would a job like that normally (IE with out all the extra bods hanging about) cost?
-
You can get vented barrow bags
-
Not only a bit cheap but almost giving it away on the pickup load. builders bag £40 for 0.5m3 pick up £50 for 1m3 You do the math....

Woodburning Stove - Internal / External Air?
Justme replied to machineage's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
If your heat loss is 4.2kw just to keep the room at a constant temp then you need more than that to raise the temp. One other thing to consider is, that the house needs so many air changes per hour any way so having some of that feeding the stove should not be a big issue. It will also help reduce condensation & damp issues. -
Brilliant marketing. Sell you a stove that can only be run on fuel they supply.

What will it cost to go straight to the C1+E or C+E?
-
Ok then why did they do this to a complete forest? LINKY

Its not going to stretch by 33% (0.6 to 0.8m3). In fact the 1m3 vented bags we use have almost no stretch in them at all. If they could hold 0.8m3 then the manufactures would sell them as 0.8m3 bags.

Who cares what they claim to do in a year? Just worry about how many cubes you have available to sell.

I think you will find that its due to not filling properly it in the first place when using a frame & nothing to do with volume theory (which is not a theory). All the logs can move as soon as you lift it up. A badly filled bag is a badly filled bag no matter what its shape is or how its filled. We now do the shake & fill. The bag is hanging held at full open so it just touches the ground. During the fill we will give it a shake (raise & lower / hit ground) about 3 times & as its getting to the full level its being tapped on the ground. The only way to fill them better would be to hand stack them one log at a time. We used to have a fixed frame that just held the bag open. When we moved the bags they needed about another 1/4 adding to them. Now between filling & delivery day they prob get moved twice. We get no settling at all & they keep the square shape.

No they still hold 0.61m3. As it bulges in the middle the corners get pulled in to make it into an almost circle. If you add up all the sides (4 x 0.85) you get 3.4m of wall length. Then using pi you work out the radius you get a 1.08m cylinder (0.504m radius) that is 0.85m high. The volume of that cylinder is 0.66m3. A circle is the most efficient storage shape for a given wall length so explains the extra 0.05m3.

Where in the country are you?

I prefer saw horses where you dont have to move the log for each cut. Saves loads of work.

Looks very very slow.

Use single skinned to about 150mm from the celling then change to double skinned. Make the hole bigger by at least the recommended clearance for the type of twin wall you are using (ours is 65mm). Line the hole & celling with fire proof board possibly also down the wall behind the flue if the wall is closer than about 200mm (put the wall & celling board on 25mm spacers so the air can rise behind the board to cool the wall). Use a suitable roof penetration kits to seal it off. Support the flue as much as possible not just relying on the stove & roof fixings. You will need at least 2.5 to 3m of flue from the stove top. Use a good rain cap. Make sure you can either sweep the flue from inside the stove or fit a trap or access point in the single skin bit.

So its Taxi time, not a bigger truck with a drink affected driver behind the wheel.

Time for a taxi more like :thumbdown:

Recipe for disaster then. I think the cordless ones have a very limited market.

Do electric chain saws stop when the bar oil runs low or do you have to keep checking the level?
-
I use a syringe with no needle.

Managed to strip the clutch on the PTO rotavator & the engine on the tractor has started to knock.

Will depend if they want an enhanced one or a standard one. Normally enhanced are saved for people that work with children or the vulnerable.

As Cedar is about the same cost wise as most other less durable woods is ruling it out sensible?

You will need to slow the speed down using pulleys in both cases.

Planning permission - processing logs on agricultural land
Justme replied to simplythebest's topic in Firewood forum
There is a deminimis rule in agriculture & forestry planning rules where the use is small & incidental to the main use of the site. So if you not doing loads you could mention that to the planners.
