    hi tom,i did lots of trial and error before i decided on the simplest solution. A one piece box seemed awkward and cumbersome to put in if doing it by myself,unless you're leaving it in as a semi permanent greedy board. I cut 4 pieces of sterling board accuratly from bed to roof and find that not only are they simple and easy to pop in,but weather its half full of chip,or up to the top,they dont move,hope this helps.

    Used to put down cymag years ago,same rules applied even then - keep upwind of it,dont do it when theres a lot of moisture in the air,think what you're doing all the time,and take somebody out there with you.

    The big estates/landowners round here have bought new harvesters with grant money,so the cutters have come in from the woods and forestry blocks and now drive firewood delivery trucks for those estates. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

    what may help are damp traps,ive got 5 around my place and they realy attract the moisture,put the white crystals in the top and tip the water out the bottom. Hope this helps.

    Little quiete at moment so went up to my cord heap and did some logging for next season,then got rained off. Out later to price up ''some tall conifers'' . See what they are then,either 9 feet tall or 90 feet.

    Some building contractors knock a percentage off your invoice for some kind of construction industry tax. Just make sure the price they accept is the price they pay. Hope this helps.

    Mrs oldwoodcutter has very small hands and clarks sorted her out with some leather goatskin gloves,which i tagged onto my order. I noticed they've got little flowers printed on the back,and so far with them she hasnt broke a fingernail once.
