How much is a new engine
-
You dont need to work alone. If you have enough work on get a self employed mate on. If its quiet dont, just work on your own. As long as you dont promise future work until it comes up everyone knows the score. Often working with someone else they have different skill sets which brings in more work also different ways of doing things. Working on your own can be a bit lonely.

Firewood Processor for logs and rounds.
gensetsteve replied to Chalgravesteve's topic in Firewood forum
Another vote for the Farmi wp36 lends itself well to cracking rings after you have cut them with a chainsaw also you get a processor thrown in. You will need a log splitter as well though especially for stuff over 16" -
If a bag of hardwood is £80 what is a bag of softwood £65 ? third of a bag means you are £5 out of pocket. Not right I agree but dont give yourself the stress of trying to ring the world, talk to them direct. You may find its the best mix of logs you ever had.

You forgot the one that struts around in his timber sports wearing designer sun glasses in the rain and cuts at least one body part of a week.

We have a couple of hundred spare bags today will send you a pm. We are collection only we are about 50 miles from the m25.

Its surprising how many people agree with your figures when wrong in their favour a bit more vocal when they are out of pocket. I only take simple conversations on the hands free like yes and no will be 30 mins etc. I dont quote verbal prices in case I get back to the office and find the 2k job is actually 4k

Is the rain running down the trunk or comming off the roof sheet I assume it has coregations . If its the roof sheet cover it with flat sheet all the way from the top when you get to the tree bend the sheet so the rain runs off either side of the tree on to another sheet and away.

L200 limp mode solution
gensetsteve replied to D.M.Taylor Firewood Supp's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
On some turbos there is a vacumn operated waste gate which sticks shut. try freeing this off. -
Are you working the metreage out as a solid cubic metre or air space taken on lorry because big straight sticks will still have at least 25% air space. 40 metres of space will give you 30 cubic metres or 30x1.2 = 36 tonnes. Or I could be completely off the mark and talking complete crap.

Had the same thing a year or so ago agony could not sleep at night. Went to docs and found I am becomming alergic to them. The more you get stung the worse it will get. If you take an old fashioned piriton tablet within minutes you should not react anywhere near as bad ( dont follow my advice without talking to your doc ) so I now carry piriton tabs if it progresses you may need a pen to stab your self with in case it goes to anathalaptic shock ( sorry for spelling ) either that or I am a wus and just need to man up

You need 3 x running current min on your generator. So 2.2kw = 6.5 kw or 8kva. Not only do you need this to start it but when you stall on a knot you will send the windings into orbit. You can get away with smaller generators but not without reducing the life of the generator and motor. New generators have less material in them and are not able to take as much abuse as the old stuff.

So you welcome the Scottish and Welsh

Give your hardest job to your laziest man and he will find the easiest way.

I tend to think if you have a pile of arb arisings that cost next to nothing yes more work to split. But once done and stored dry they are not burning a hole in your pocket. If there is a shortage, £125 a cube if there is not they can sit there for the next 10 years till there is. I may come out of retirement for one month in January. Then again I may just sit at home and burn them with a nice glass of spirt and watch the overloaded double cabs struggle up the lane.

I was looking at disco vans on ebay this week all around 4-5k go on auto trader prices £2500.00
-
Man after my own heart if does not add up on a calculator its not going to work as there is always something else you have not allowed for. Just because old ned down the road sells for £60 a cube does not mean he makes money.

Best way to slow these people up is show interest but make sure your not open to virus etc. Say the right nieve things get them on the hook and excited then after they have put a lot of time in drop them. The more people waste their time the less they are likely to bother and less people they rip off. If buyers play them along the more likely they are to drop a clanger that ebay or the police can trace.

They probably dont have enough firewood to fill their orders even after all those cut price tree surgery jobs they have done all week just round the corner.

Just because you are British does not make you lazy. There are plenty of east europeans sat on the dole with no intention of doing a days work. There are a lot of super hard working ones that will never loose their work ethic. There are a lot of British like that too just most are probably self employed now so you dont get the chance to employ them.

I think the oil industry does better because they are able to do a spread sheet or at the very least add up.

Big or small paid cord wood or free arb arisings if everyone is selling at £60 a cube round your way leave it alone.
