It's fine submerged but, in my experience, when used as posts it rots where it comes out the ground, in a couple of years. I've used it in a timber frame - pic on other thread. Very light when dry. Fantastic burn.
-
Yeah, that's about as far as I'd be able to lift it to!
-
What do you call that machine in the second half?
-
Really nice! Are the rails curved?
-
Oak butts of various length.
-
Yes, considering there's someone on Ebay selling it for £16.50+vat cu/ft.
-
As above, condolences to all affected. It could happen to any of us.

Sounds familiar. When I was an AA Patrol, about 100 of us were told we were classed as "semi-skilled", and for insurance purposes - "professional drivers." You could have heard a pin drop in that room! Bloody insult considering the hoops they make you jump through to get the job.

About £1050 m3 milled. The ratio is, apparently, 0.94 m3/tonne. So the answer to my question is yes?
-
Does £66+vat/tonne for "Beam Oak" sound reasonable?

Driving around in my 80 series Cruiser yesterday, noticed the brakes creeping and slight pull. Jacked the front up this morning and noticed the O/S wheel drop as it lifted - slack as aunt mary's! Looked inside and found both hub nuts and lock washer had unwound because the stub axle tang had worn and the inside of the washer had lost its shape. There was that much play that it was pushing the caliper pistons back as I drove, felt like there was air in the system! One to watch out for. Old washer laid over a new one.

Yeah, I meant on average. That's how it's sold round my way, by the hi-lux butt full.
-
Is that inc vat?
-
What does a pick-up butt hold in m3?
-
err...not peeing somewhere you shouldn't?
-
I was taught the same. However, I'm guessing you're sensible enough to have never worked in a dealership workshop, unlike myself, cos if you had you'd never hand them your hard earned.
-
I think he's right.
-
Oh well, you'll have to go cash only now:wink:
-
You pay an accountant then?
-
And five years ago it was biodiesel. Shares in small biofuels producers listed on AIM were all the rage. They've now lost about 95%.
-
Brilliant! Getting about ten hits per second!
-
Might even tick a few jobs off the wife's wish list!
-
I used alder in part of this timer frame. Long eaves keep it dry. Although it's used submerged it don't like alternating wet/dry conditions.
-
The last MOT test I did was back in 2002, so unless the rules have changed it's not a fail. Even if the pretensioners have fired and the flags popped up it's only an advisory point at testers discretion.
-
Yeah, surprisingly it's hardly shrunk at all, no cracks whatsoever. It's right behind the woodstove too!
