    I do use the forum to be nosey ref logs but I like pics of big take downs and big tree work with stupidly big unimogs and mewps lots of shiney toys making proper money. Nothing wrong with my load is bigger than your load but you can have enough of log talk and the winters not even started yet . Have the big jobs dried up a bit, some of my big generator jobs seem to have slowed a bit ?

    I wondered what those little pins in the bag were for. You mean my logs arent 0%

    May be worth looking into one of those shiney rotating cowls you see on roofs. The are supposed to stop back drafts and help the chimney draw. I like the idea about using lots of kindling

    Yes they have been out in the rain for 12 months. Whats the alternative get the hair dryer out . The black fully seasoned wringing wet logs burn much better than that creamy coloured barn stored stuff. I am sure your regulars trust you by now to deliver a quality product. Imagine the cost if you have to store 500 cube in barns for 12 months.

    cavity wall insulation and double glazed windows I think dropped our bills by 1/3 and the house stays warm all over no cold spots. Do as much of the loft as possible most goes through the roof. loft insulation is dirt cheap as most people get it free now.

    Find yourself someone you trust to supply you with seasoned logs accept he wont be the cheapest in the area. Even when stitched up with crap logs people forget when they have had top quality stuff for a year or two and start shopping round again

    Yes good to meet you paul. I know I had 3 pints through the day and 3 in the tuckers that was enough for me another one and I would have kept going and been very ill the next day.

    5kw stove in the front room fans in the loft draw warm air to the ends of the house. cost £400 for stove £150 for fans and insulated ductwork. with wb using about 8 cu metres of wood we use 1000 litres of oil without wood burner 2000 litres plus. but front room is 27deg rest of house 24 deg too hot for blokes. Empty the tray in the wb every 3 or 4 days.

    Its good stuff because it is 6% proof so needs to be drunk like wine. Its easy to drink as its not fizzy and does not bloat you out or make you feel dehydrated. But after drinking 5 pints in an hour your legs stop working and you pass out:lol:

    Thats alot of questions If you want £300 a month I would concentrate on getting in cheap arb arisings locally. I produce kindling so have an interest in selling you kindling but will help you with the figures. A kindlet will make 60 bags an hour with 2 people feeding it. But you will spend nearly as much time preparing your 6in blanks. So thats 30 bags an hour you will be on your own so thats down to 25 bags an hr. 10 hr day = 250 bags most people who have tried this have done 1000 bags in a week and its driven them mad. after hire costs you will probably earn £300. Find a good kindling supplier local to you buy a hundred bags and make £2 a bag for doing nothing and build up a customer base.

    Silky was like a Japanese tourist with jons new camera until 9pm when he comes round should be some good pics. I think Paul said his phone was out of action.

    Needs to go up £5 a cube every year regardless. Fuel, cord and kit is going up massively every year without even looking at inflation.

    I would pm treegeek on here if he cant help he will know someone who can.

    In 6 years I had 4 complaints two of them were ok when reassured 2 of them were such p****s I picked up and refunded. Stayed perfectly polite but made it plain they were not to call again. Things are worse this year as there is more timber about people are short of cash and need to moan at somebody. As the winter draws on and logs run out people are more grateful for anything they can get. Just part of the job, try to focus on the really nice people you deliver to they are the majority and its a pleasure to meet them. Dump the idiots on your competition down the road. The more you refuse to deliver the more they want it even had their relations trying to order on their behalf.

    I thought the cider was good especially the last one good to meet you all. The evening seemed to end too soon but judging by some of the troops may have been just as well

    I am looking for cheap softwood to plank and turn into kindling. But the transport alone I think will kill it. The easiest and most profitable ideas I think are above.
  19. gensetsteve
    I am always looking for joinery offcuts. Untreated no mdf ply or man made boards. Ideally cut to exactly 6inch I have several supplies of this for £5-£10 a bulk builders bag. Or large timbers 2x2 upwards at least 3ft long. A bag of assorted stuff 7in long is a waste of time for us and worthless. The 5in offcuts we struggle to sell for £10 a bulk bag to the public.

    We were there at 12 had a swift half will be back later

    Arctic load for the silky
  23. gensetsteve
    If you get some big bits of pop I would be interested in driving up and paying you for a sample of 3 tonnes to try on my woodmiser for kindling if it works out would take an arctic load if we can get it in.
  24. gensetsteve
    Chuck it to the back of the shed put it down to experience and buy some proper stuff off someone on here. Burn your chestnut and softwood next year.

    I may drop in during the day if we have time. Do you need kindling for your fires bbq s . I have dustbin fulls of rejects you can throw on to get things going or to feed a firepit. Will bring some sample bags of kindling we sell if I remember. I will be their in the evening after been for a meal with family.
