Its around a million per acre every where. But out of that must come the social housing currently 40%. Infastructure, schools, shops, roads, sewage and some kerb stones for the estate on the other side of town. 1/4 million to subsidise the bus service for the first few years, £70k per year for the housing liason officer ( methodone man ) 13.5% commission for the develper who must optimise the value of the land. When thats all done you give back the option money 8K per acre and they send you a cheque for 300k per acre if your lucky. Then you put it in the bank and watch inflation kill it.

One of the reasons we stopped buying cordwood. On clearance jobs at the side of the road the lads are trying to squeeze 6in stuff through the chipper. In the forest they are picking up 1" sticks and trying to make up loads. I dont want to be buying under 2" and we dont want 24 tonnes of 3 " fussy arent we. The money is in the 6-8" stuff on a processor thats why we spend 15k on a processor.

If they dont reply as you asked does that mean they are thinking out of the box?

Someone must have the sign for sangat when it shut down.

Is that gross or net.

You cant object to housing on the grounds of it will spoil my view, you dont own your view. If houses are on the cards in your area the government will make sure it goes through.

You could mention to them that some members of a minority community want to buy it to keep pigs . No only Joking gets some proper proffessional advice these people will represent your interest without being emotionally involved. They will be calculated and stone faced when its needed.

electric oven is more efficent than a propane one so no real advantage unless you live off grid. You dont need the instant control with an oven taht is so useful on the stove.

I have a tipper, I have no bank loans or start up grants ? -
We have a propane hob elec oven. New gas hob will cost about £60 with free propane jets. We use 1 bottle per year tops two. Use calor tried others but they dont gas off when near bottom of bottle and its cold.

I have just been through all this. I have someone who represented me I can give u his no. Developers are slightly less honourable than drug dealers and will screw you sideways given the chance. We live in a wealthy area the land should be worth at least 600k but most got 100k per acre. good luck with what ever u decide to do be careful and watch your back.

We use a hilux with 2 cu metre capacity it would take me alot longer to unload by hand than 2 minutes. By not offering stacking we can do 2 more deliveries a day. We have used a trailer in the past but found it scuffed up gravel drives and was a pain to push in snow and ice. The battery would go flat at just the wrong time. Our hilux charges its own battery, goes anywhere, drops a nice neat pile due to height of body, The oil is warmed by the exhaust so no slow drops either. -
I did look into it 2 years ago I think one product was tanalith. Cant remember the other I think the official view then was ok to incinerate as long as temp was above 600 deg c

We could use new truss off cuts huge quanities but we dont unless someone can tell us its safe and legal. But who could you trust to give the go ahead.

No dog deserves a bad life but maybe you could supply one of those horrible little yappy things that they keep in their hand bags. They dont require as much exercise and not as prone to putting on weight as retrievers otherwise its got to be dog dead story.

So the feeling is the newer treatments are less harmful than the old stuff. But will they be safe enough to make into kindling for resale in the future. It can be really difficult spotting treated timber as there is a new one that has a very light yellow tinge to it.

Looking for cordwood but have poor acccess

Before we had a log deck we used to cut to 4ft so we could lift it all day. I would imagine its been forwarded behind a quad due to access. Could be ideal for someone near by with a big grain trailer. -
In 1988 I worked for the only onan dealer in the country for 2 years. I still have a few workshop manuals. Was you engine good when it was working. Can you get one off ebay possibly a low hr genset engine.
-
Yes but £100 tax up front before you have collected 90 loads or a £1 in someones pocket as you go along. Depends on how you view life. I dont like paying more tax than is required in this country because I dont agree with the way its spent.
-
I just renewed mine for 3 years about £100 I figure at some time I will have waste on. You could get round it when collecting offcuts by paying them a pound but then that starts them thinking its worth money.
-
Just my opinion but I cant justify spending decent wedge on a machine that cant lift approaching 1000kg . I tend to have my bobcat which lifts 800kg at a push and a 3 tonne telehandler.

If you remember in 2009/10 it jumped from £28 a tonne to £40 a tonne and it s never come back down.

I cant believe how the world moves stuff around to save pennies. Bit like ebay heads driving 200 miles to save £12 postage :lol:no wonder the worlds in a mess some of these people run it.

The tory government put a tax of £15 a tonne on fc timber comming out the forest when they came to power. Because they did it private estates simply increased their price by £15 thats why cord wood costs so much and the men harvesting still earn very little.
