  13. It's like when I go looking at jobs, "that trees riddled with honey fungus and will definitely fall and squash a bus full of orphans and nuns".

  14. That's the problem, every one bangs on about how desperate they are for wood for whatever and when it comes down to it you often get messed about. Which is not what you need when you've invested x amount in plant to get the job done on the assumption that someone's coming for the timber.

  24. I converted a motorbike trailer for mine, works well
