    Lock Down?

    otter replied to 5 shires's topic in General chat

    My customers just txt me and cancelled anyway. So there's my decision. Start the gardening at home.

    Lock Down?

    otter replied to 5 shires's topic in General chat

    Yep looks like it. I'm just going to stop working until I'm told it's all OK. No point 3 tree surgeons working in someone's back garden removing Mrs Jones cypress tree. Not really essential at the moment.

    Did have some work but my climber staying away now, I'm thinking just stopping now. Get outside with the kids. All my kit is paid for so don't owe any thing, I'm a bit in limbo about work, not sure anyone will have any money after this. I can do some solo forestry but if lockdown ya ain't avowed out.

    Yeah starting to effect work now, my climber dosent want to come to work now (his wife won't let him). I'm happy to carry on as normal. Got a few tree jobs that I could of done, but not on my own (ain't going to climb solo). I have got a 50 quid hedge to do and 12 tons of ash to split so will be busy next week. Then just hit the beach surfing with the kids I suppose. Honestly I think this is going to last months not weeks The only good thing is I'm on interest only mortgage and now is £90 pr month. Will start to worry in couple weeks but not now.

    I got v one.. Jd engine, cheaper version. Pretty fast splitting actually. (I've owned many different splitters) I joined the 2 handles together with a piece of pipe so I can use it with one hand. Like I said I'm very pleased with build quality, reliability and performance.

    I've got the 12t one. Can't fault it. Would recommend it for sure. Owned now just over a year and split well over 40ton of logs That's arb waste aswell

    Advice

    otter replied to Euan349's topic in Firewood forum

    People selling a dumpy bag for £50 here in Devon ?

    What about the moisture content in the wood that is burnt in the kiln to dry the wood??? How would that be 15% mc?? Would you air dry it to below 20% to dry kiln to 15? This county drowning in idiots , and all the industrial biomass boilers burning green wood? Don't make sense.
  22. otter
    Once split I reckon only about £150 worth anyway?? People are disillusioned when it comes to this things like this. I had a customer ask me to do a tree job for free but I could have the wood, him saying it's ash worth a fortune that is, needed climbing and was a £300 job with about £100 worth of logs????????? To be honest is worth nothing until split and delivered.

    Here we go again

    It's not really the importing of the logs it's how they are dried is the point. The amount of wasted unseasoned logs burnt to dry logs? Insane, such a shame and that's the impact on the environment. Double pollution and double the amount of trees felled
  25. otter
    Yep, agreed with that
