I done 2 weeks at lbc works at ridgmont in the eighties, longest 2 weeks of my life, although I did get to keep the goggles and those gloves/pads that resembled inner tube rubber. I,m sure a lot of the polish workers lived there and slept next to the bricked up kilns.

as an apprentice ag fitter, servicing combines in the winter, firstly give the combine a good run, this clears it of rats although some are caught in the elevators etc resulting in rats guts everywhere, then someone has to crawl deep into the belly of the machine to replace rubber curtains which have been eaten through by the rats, as I said I was the apprentice so guess who that someone was. On top of that I had a real fear of rats after being bitten by one as a kid. Last kick in the teeth was that my mates were all earning well over £50 a week, I was on £22

no power steering/radio/synchro clutch/heater/air con etc etc, the one I used to drive you needed ear muffs, in the day when we didn't even wear them when using a saw, exhaust fumes pouring into the cab, 38mph maximum. go anywhere though and would pull a house down.

I would think that if you buy kiln dried directly from the kiln, the only way you could store it and keep at kiln dried moisture content is in a working kiln or similar???
-
I moisture tested an old broom handle that hadn't seen the light of day for years and it read 16% which says to me that timber resorts back to the amount of moisture in the atmosphere where its stacked, which makes no sense to me to kiln dry it down to 8% then stack in a barn etc where its around 16%. Technically I'm probably completely wrong and stand to be corrected.

Look into that ,cheers:thumbup1:

Makes sense:thumbup1: would the "potion" for calming contain alcohol by any chance? the dog may have to fight me for it:laugh1:

Wonder if you can turn/bale it in the rain? or did they just go through the motions for the cameras. Ingenious idea though, pity you couldn't do the same with knotweed.

Reading through the lines you have erected plenty of fencing , but not for yourself but a company you work for? . Me personally am a sole trader which means that out of my pricing my mortgage/gas, electric. pick up. car, food.clothing.beer. machinery maintenance and renewal, and prostitute bills all have to be included in my pricing.
