  3. wow ian they are fantastic, i take it that u need to of bin doin it a while to be that good. when i email my estimates to customers i always put some pics in with other freinds work, i help out where i can. will email ya if anyone asks for some wil let ya know how the workshop goes cheers ian
  4. i heard that yell was going into liquidation due to putting all there effort into yell.com, now the ressetion has hit nobody wants to pay for it cos theyve got no money. i did a free listing in the book and payed for the following year with a £2k advert and found that the small one provided more work cos i looked more competitive than the flashy expensive companies. i just use the yell.com by postcode search which is free and it gets ya customers rite on ya door step, also the post office do mail drops in the postcode area ya want to hit with ya flyer, very reasonable rates ( deliverd by posty not some little spotty git that would throw them down the drain ) good luck

  8. ive been coppicing 35 year old hornbeam and they are well heavy and a nightmare to burn the brash this time of year, hope there is no crop fields nearby, as my patch ive had to halt burning cos it just takes the wrong gust of wind and away it goes, but yours sounds well old so good luck moving it cos they are gona be big and really hard to sell at that size
  9. hi Husqvarna King i coppiced some woodland for a local estate near me, we charged £100 a day but they wer selling the ash on to customers of theirs and they didnt bothr with a grant, but if your guys are pretty fast then what ya asking for is reasonable, also if the woodlands is that old the forestry commission may say not to cut the maidens because of the wildlife. set ya price high, all he can do is knock ya down to wot ya after farmers love a bit of haggling
