    can you / would you want to measure by M3 ?? if it was wood chip, sand, gravel etc i would go along with the idea but logs ??? how much is simply fresh air ? surely a quality load of timber is in most cases worth what its being sold for ? if dangerous bri was to turn up at my door with a load of logs i would be happy to pay £95 for , infact i would think i had a deal , however i have seen other firms passing wet pine off as seasoned hard wood

    i think that i would be a little less worried about how much they say the truck holds and more concerned about what timber your getting , personally i would be quite happy with slighly less timber than i expected if it was decent quality timber . When selling logs i simply sell by the cabstar load not by cubic volume , if im asked how much that is i simply answer "its a cabstar load" if they want the dimensions of the tipper they can have it and calculate what they like . Hope this is of use to you

    the way i see it it the market value depicts what you can charge , down here in cornwall you cant charge £600 per day , well you can but you aint gonna be getting much work . i hear of some firm actually knowingly taking a loss on jobs just so that they are working. as #steve Blair has said there is no point in working if you are not covering your costs. But WHY do people feel the need to work the cheeply they are loosing money or " buying work" ???

    why's that then Bob ???

    i have the same problem with chips going everywhere , i have decided to use 3.5 mm ally for the roof so that its durable to stand on , also when fitting it i would advse rivetting it down by before you rivet it i would spread some sikaflex along all of the steel work that the roof is fitting too , this way you bond the roof to the frame work thus reducing noise and rattle from the roof when driving or chipping . then simply finnish with a good few rivets .

    if it were me i would be appealing their decision , i would be asking if they had taken my turnover into considderation , also how many examples of a similar size tree surgery outfits opperating from industrial premises - i know firs hand that as a small firm it does not work and have only now finnished my 4 year lease . secondly do you not grow trees ? i would reccomend doing so prior to aplying for planning , mind you i am fortunate that my father is a planning consultant . please dont think that im dismissing what you have said as im sure LA's work in different ways from area to area and thank you for sharing your experience with me
  15. combined tree services
    Now back to planning - has the LA made you aware of and penalties that could be served should you not appy to mark your boundries or to put anythin on your land ?
  16. combined tree services
    yeah i did hear that if i cut it up quite small then the local folk would buy it and use it like firewood

    hiya Matt , lost looking at you post and can not beleive that i have two springer that are also borthers who are also called Bramble and Bracken - how strange , even more so when they look so similar to your Bramble and Bracken, however I'm pretty sure that neither of yours could possibly be as mad on tennis balls as our Bramble, he was pawing the the mother inlaw's car today as she had a tennis ball in the boot of her car !!!! we should have taught him to sniff for money or drugs ! we would be loaded by now (or arrested) any way just thought I would say how nice your springers look.

    i know how you feel , i had the planners on my farm last week apparently im running a logging busines from here , when it was explained that we are tree surgeons and that is under the same umberela as agriculture and forrestry they decided that they did not have a problem with what i am doing.But it was made clear that we do have to get rid of the 60 or 70 tons of timber in the yard some how!!!! .
  21. combined tree services
    lol you got me on that one
  22. combined tree services
    Hang on , i was not aware that a storage container was classed as a structure - it can be moved at any given time , has no foundation and is not lived in , as for the fencing i did not realise that you have to get permision to mark out your boundries .
  23. combined tree services
    nope dont get the air gaps out but also do not sell by cubic volume lol . maybe i should count how many logs on each load and sell them that way lmao
  24. combined tree services
    Well i would not bother with Stihl water proofs - i bought some and they were a total waist of time i now use a Mardale treetop smock if its not raining to much or my goretex suit courtasy of Western Power Distribution lol
  25. combined tree services
    true but surely logs do not fill a builders bac , they leave some pretty big gaps betwene logs so am i filling a cubic meter ? surely i would not be complying with weights and measures ?
