  1. I'm gonna guess & say he means when they need managing (IE culling). Should be good money for a shoot doing boar hunts.
  2. Its on this Sat. I think they are full but you could always email them & ask. I will PM the email address to you.
  3. I am off to the factory next week to have a look round on one of their open days. They will still be making stuff during the tour. Should be an interesting visit.
  4. Cant you just go for a higher ply rating tyre in the same size?
  5. Are you over tightening the chain?
  6. I have the same saw with an 18" bar & it copes with working hard all day & prob use 5 to 8 refills. I do keep the chain very sharp. Is it def smoke or could it be steam? Cutting down the log will make it work harder.
  7. Plus your recovery rate will be lower & the "wastage" higher.
  8. If she is a proper accountant having a CCJ will screw up her job.
  9. This news might help
  10. Dont forget to inform DEFRA (I think) that you are taking the land out of agri use.
  11. Ours are normally 18" long & between 6" & 12" wide in 1" increments.
  12. Very very heavy when freshly harvested. Dries very quick & very light.
  13. Whats your flue / chimney like? Might spend more sorting that out.
  14. I am sure I saw one bit that was rotten in the middle when the cut was exposed.
  15. What would a job like that normally (IE with out all the extra bods hanging about) cost?
  16. You can get vented barrow bags
  17. 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....
  18. 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.
  19. Brilliant marketing. Sell you a stove that can only be run on fuel they supply.
  20. What will it cost to go straight to the C1+E or C+E?

    Why?

    Ok then why did they do this to a complete forest? LINKY
  22. 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.
  23. Who cares what they claim to do in a year? Just worry about how many cubes you have available to sell.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
