  1. Where did you read that it was a house of 20 years old that's drains were affected, i read it that the roots were affecting a sewer. Saying that when i pressed "read more on this story" nothing happened so you might have more info than i can see.
  2. What do you mean, the truth will be out soon ?
  3. All the lads i buy roundwood from sell by the tonne, at the moment it's £35-£40 per tonne roadside (for green timber) delivery is anything between £10-£15 per tonne if you take a lorry load. I don't think any of the big boys would be intrested in delivering a cord, which iirc is 4 feet x 4 feet x 8 feet. I may be able to sell you a few loads of hardwood in the round, but i won't be cheap as it's seasoned.
  4. I know of a bloke at West Row fen that ploughs it up and makes walking sticks from it, a bit to far away from you though.
  5. I think i read another thread that said you were in Shorpshire, i think the haulage would kill it ? i went and looked at a guy locally that was selling bulk bags cheap but the quality was rubbish!!! what sort of money would you want ? Is the wood seasoned ? If so we MAY be able to have a deal.
  6. Don't do it for any less than £100 a cube, i'm doing half cube bags at £65 a time, if they take 2 bags i do them for £120, I'ts HARD graft don't do it for nowt.
  7. Looks like a tidy little job Mike, what did you pay for the swing lift in the end ?
  8. It looks like a Lucas, but it could be a penny.
  9. I dont do any but a mate of mine does quite alot he uses transits and shovels but they mainly do footpaths. Not alot of help i know.
  10. I cant begin to tell you how this disaster makes me feel, most of my uncles and cousins were miners it was a hard and dangerous job, i had an uncle that was in a collapse, he got some kind of recognition for digging some of his mates out despite his own injuries. RIP.
  11. How much ? I've told you a million times about exaggerating
  12. Therefore 1 m3 of timber at oil prices should cost £120.10 Thats how mucn it does cost if you buy it off me
  13. This cabstar boy got out all last winter i did have to pull it up the track from my shed with the tractor quite a few times though.
  14. It will be the first year i've done any so won't be going mad, but to answer your questions in order, i will take a couple of hundred to start with if they go alright i'll go back and get more, i think the two species the chap spoke about were Norway and Nordman but he did mention others and the most important thing price, i would have to at least double my money to make it worth while. Any advice on price would be much appreciated.
  15. I will be doing a few this year if i can get them at the right price, i've been in talks with a chap over the last few days trying to get it sorted.
  16. One of the last times i went to Newcastle to watch the football we (Stoke fans) got petrol bombed, as we came out of the train staition you had to walk up a ramp if i remember rightly, but that was in the mid eightys when football and it's fans were a different breed
  17. Next time i'm up there i'll treat you to oatcakes and whatever filling you want youff
  18. Do you know who christened Ipswich the tractor boys.
  19. Stoke City, why, why, why, Delilah
  20. Where are you robbo ? the cord suppliers around here have gone up no more than a fiver a tonne in the last three years, i just don't understand where some of the prices of cord advertised on here have come from.
  21. Not in my eyes "i'm not working for nothing"
  22. £130 with orders flooding in over the last few weeks
  23. the price of logs are only getting silly in Pershore
