newbie asking possibily a silly question
Joy Yeomans replied to Ian Clarke's topic in Firewood forum
get one of your logs and split it open again with your axe, is it wet or dry inside? if you light your stove/ get your fire going bring in tomorrows logs and stack next to the woodburner, theyll be bone dry for the next nights fire - thats what i do, as all the good stuff gets sold and i burn what Mr. logbaron will bring me down - J. -
t, is that you? - all the best joy & rohan - nice to see you sunday - got back ok with the sticks?

SORRY - forgot our brothers in the North and West - all the Best for the UK Timber Industry - foresters alike North, south east and west - all the best:thumbup:
-
i would much prefer the industry as a whole trying to promote english softwood alongside english hardwoods as a firewood option - softwood isnt a dirty word you know
-
seasoning only means reducing the moisture level to an acceptable level to burn - i.e. =<25% around, getting to this level can be speeded up with many methods

umm i thought that, is it because BAZ is wanting the lightest weighing wood to volume out of it and so doesnt want Oak as it weighs heavy?? so going for what Sycamore?? although i note he states hes shipping at the moment chestnut and cherry?? on the website

Can load, 20 tonnes plus of woodchip for sale, good quality chip no green in, was biomass spec but due to lack of space (harvest in the sheds) had to store outside and so has got wet, ideal for landscaping, mulch, paths etc Best offer please for collection only, located just off A50 at Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. pm for details or ring me, Joy on 07971 220186 and I will pass all enquiries on to Mr Yeomans who is busy all week:thumbup1:

i thought it was some ridiculously expensive cost, as i looked into it and when seeing the cost, dismissed it straight away on cost alone - we try and keep our overheads low, buying into this scheme the money would have to be recouped somewhere and im guessing we would have to raise our price per cube to recoup - therefore cutting our own throats to those who havent registered-- just my opinion j. - or is it keeping another quango afloat:sneaky2:
-
no it keeps the consultants out of a job:blushing:
-
save on paint and marking as the lads have got there eyes zoned in on the ones to come out - pick a winner everytime:biggrin:
-
i looked into the hetas scheme, but i may be wrong, but i seem to recall it costing us upwards of £350 to register each year and yet more paperwork? in the current economic climate i wuold have thought £50 would have been a more realistic charge and less paperwork!

it will take careful consideration to go into something like this, as to resell as any form of decent compost, it will have to be put into windrows to create heat to kill any weed pathogens etc, also any windrows will create heat, there may be some smell as they need turning, then you get into the environment agency rules re; watercourses with regard to runoff theres a fairly big company near us and they are doing it in a big way and get nothing but bad press from local community every week - i would stear clear, unless you can get your setup well sorted from the beginning and make it pay

after plugging in new relays i still cant get the stress control to work on my pto chipper, is there anything else i can try in the black box to work out whats wrong and what part i need to order? it works intermitantly when starting then when timber gets fed in its almost as though the vibration knocks it off again and it must be a loose wire, cant get anyone to come out and look at it this problem has been ongoing since the warranty ran out - can you give me details of another dealer who is willing to come on site and look at it for me, a brilliant machine but a frustrated user and located in Uttoxeter, staffs.

when hedgelaying if the hedge has alot of stones or debris in the bottom best to lay with a axe or large billhook to save the chain and easier to use in this way than the saw and safer too ensuring no stones kicked up etc
-
id check that your meter is accurate, as even bone dry inside wood would only read about 15% at its lowest, im not having a go, but just check it, as at this time of year wood will only dry to the atmospheres moisture, so even at the height of summer it would go possibly no lower than 17% - imo, j

yes the rocking chair next to the stanley was definately vacant this evening - but then banging hot water every one in the bath (not at the same time I hasen to add!) - needed it after todays helping the lads chip up the brash from a thuja dismantle, stunk of pineapple all afternoon:thumbup:

Joy Yeomans replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in General chat
yes wusses - we only came back with a few midge bites, nettle stings and a few thorn cuts, throwing the cruck up to knock the apples off dodging that and with sheep round your ankes nicking the pickings and trying to knock us over - what are people like:blushing: and charlieh, i knew youd have to bag a bigger forage than us - show off:001_tt2: will have to take mr. concentration with me next time to beat you:lol: -
Sunday, kept the kids busy while dad was slurry spreading (note not on our field!), walked all the boundary fields collecting damsons, apples, blackberries, kids loved it, and filled the pull along cart with free food:thumbup1: - anybody else go forage
-
glad your joking their mate, no all arisings stopping with customer:thumbup:, note to newbies - never ever do a job for free firewood, never have never will - its never worth it anyway, youll get nails in the trunk or something goes ary, we have always had nice virgin rainforest to massacre anyway:001_tt2:
