    We are doing 40x50cm bags for £1.80 + vat no margin in it now. The wood is like hens teeth and gone up 4 fold in the last year. Most of what we do is clean unused kiln dried joinery of cuts as per our pics. We have been on back order for months with no stock pile. What would you say is minimum price for a bag as in our pic.

    there is often no ryme or reason when it comes to quoting. I was never asked to quote luckily but my competition load tested a 1000 kva took I day they charged £30,000 now we would have lost that job on most occasions at £1500 because we are to expensive. Came up against some one on a block of 8 generators for service quoted 6k and got it they quoted £2300.00 and lost it. we were double the nearest quote.

    Not the same but The amount of people that cross the road and step over the trailer draw bar as the lights change beggers belief. The last one was a porter at the hospital we were servicing the generator. So luckily he did not have far to go to a&E

    I have no idea how to cut a tree down but even I would not tie my rope to the top bit then cut it off

    I have some nice big butts of pop in about 8ft long. Some of them taper out to more than 2ft which is the max for my WM lt15. How would you reduce them I am thinking of chainsawing them free hand to get them past the frame or am I mad. Will post some pics soon should be good for a laugh.

    May be worth setting up a website to explain your situation in september to take the orders for delivery in November. A simple enquiry form you can pick up when you get home.

    So the dealers have spent the last 20 years sending hilux to Africa. Now we are going to buy the Landcruisers You dont hear of much export going on with used Landrovers

    I did not even know there was a 1/4" chain so blows that idea.

    The guide price is often low to get peoples interest once on the hook they hope they will get carried away. What do they think its worth 5k We have a very snobby estate agent in Andover that does the same with properties.

    If it sells locally for £100+ a cubic metre may be worth a go if like here loads of people selling for £60 a metre you will make more money with your feet up in front of the fire and use less plasters.

    They should have just called it 1/4 would make more sense even if tech wrong

    The toyota looks a nice truck but falls down on payload against the cabstar unfortunately as I dont like Nissan now they are owned by Renault or citroin I forget which.

    Yes looks like the Amazon minus the turbo and intercooler. Which you dont need for a pickup especially down there.

    Well last week the jury was out for me on the discovery vs Landcruiser. This week the disco has failed its mot the lights keep going out as you drive and this morning no response from the remote fob vehicle immobilised. Had to take my spotless LC on a muddy job this morning. The disco days are numbered now but what do I replace it with. Could afford a new d4 van but not convinced its the way to go.

    There is only one strain of willow they make bats from I forget which it is but they can tell from the road by the colour of the leaves. It grows very straight and is planted for the purpose then harvested after about 15 years. They use most of the tree and not so much the bit near the bottom. Hurling sticks are made from ash and they are only interested in the bottom of the tree with the roots on so they can get the shape on the stick.

    That would be worth looking into thought of removing seats ply lining and blacking windows on ours to use as van to replace td5 commercial we have. The d3 and d4 discos now are to electronic and unreliable if we got to have a v6 might as well have a straight six.

    How much does it weigh when full of oak rings. I have a 16ft ifor with low sides and we need to be careful with that. Volume is 3 cu metres.

    BBC 5 day is normally the best I have found. Normally spot on but got it completely wrong saturday before last. Cant understand why their forcast is always totally different to BBC 10 day

    I dont think I could trust myself with those solid side extensions. Just so tempting to fill er up

    We are only in Andover Hampshire. Need a small lorry as I cant get an arctic in the drive. I may be able to unload big bits up to 2.5 tonne ea with the telehandler from an arctic on the road.
