  1. I made mt own spreedsheet, for the day to day, and i use the tax office accounts system online to do my return. I do my day to day one a month, which takes 1/2 an hour a month, and the online return takes about 1/2 an hour. Total cost: my time, and saves me about £300 in accountants fees, simples
  2. can we bring the family, or will it be a tree obsesed beer drinking weekend ?
  3. Lets hope they have some better demonstrators of new techniques in the demonstration area, i left feeling a bit dissapointed last year. But the climbing competion was worth going, and i might even enter the old git category this year.
  4. The resin will take time to come out.

  5. I use a logging tape and mark to size as i go, but as i mostly cut fire wood, so an inch either way does not matter. If i am cutting saw logs then i mark as i go, but the trees are re-measured prior to being cut after they are winched out.
  6. WOT no Crane ? Puts my last dismantle to shame, good work.
  7. Pine, pine, pine. The inner bark is too thick for poplar
  8. Be that one of those fancy newfangled bed harvester ? The tractor must disapear pretty quickly under vast quanties of brash.
  9. I would dig an inspection pit as deep as you can dig. This will give you an idea of where the water is comming from. If there is a high clay content to the soil you will need to improve the soil structure, sand being the best thing for that, but will need alot of effort on your part. If there is flowing water into the inspection pit then the only cure is drainage via pipework, which will require even more effort. What ever the out come, you is going to be digging (alot)
  10. Not enough airflow to the middle of the stack.
  11. Thinned out some over sized hemlock last week 2 1/2'-3' diameter, each tree was taking about 45-60 minutes to fell and sned, due to large flares that needed trimming, knocking in four wedges on the leaning trees, and vast quantities of brash that was tangled up in Laural.
  12. There are a few places on the site where the water is waist deep, and the work experience boy fell in face first on the first day.
  13. For firewood, i cut to multipls of 3' lenghts, as this is what goes through the my splitter. But if i am selling wholesale, then it is cut to what ever size the customer wants.
  14. Finnally finnished. Cleared about an acre of scrub, and built a series of dams to make a wet site wetter, and got lost in the spooky part of the wood, and found some tree jelly:confused1:
  15. Now i know why my saw is not cutting properly, i have inadvertantly sharpened it to a ripping shape. Now i am going to have to do a alot of filing to regain the right shape. Bugger
  16. I have had a Browns woodworker for about five years, and i can not fault it. FGF -BROWNS Woodworker Sawbench (NEW)
  17. I am glad that he had the decency to be out of breath when he finnished.
  18. I qualify for the vetran class this year, so i recon that i will give it a go
