Solo workers night out not much fun! December always too busy working on the doors till 3am fri/sat so the doorfirm Christmas night out is in January when it’s quieter.

Bulldog or similar wheel clamp, hitch lock, security chain round axle through a recessed ring in concrete right underneath to make access harder - all these will at least make it more difficult for them and the noise should wake you! glad they didn’t get away with it, thieving scum!!!!

That looks really smart - nice job ?

To be fair I know that this is what the customer asked for, but wtf!!!

Spot on!

I’d guess it will depend on the size? Someone much more qualified than me will be along soon to advise!

Have a read through the wee chipper club thread on here. All depends on how much you need to process and your budget

Yeah the traffic in Chelmsford pretty crap at the mo. I’ll look into lovedown farm, cheers! -
My regular sites are currently full so looking for additional place for chip, possibly some logs in Chelmsford or surrounding areas please.

Gave up using Hermes as on average they were losing or damaging one in ten parcels! Too stressful continually chasing them to make claims so now use either ups or dpd for anything over 2kg. Lighter stuff goes Royal Mail Signed For

Too right they don’t! Tried that with guy in high viz stopping a cyclist down a very quiet country lane as I dropped a conifer limb avoiding a bt line. Cyclist just went round him saying “oh it’s ok” - missed him by about 5 feet or half a second!

Got a Portek one very similar from Jonesie earlier this year but not had a chance to use it yet

Why are they being defiant about it? ? will fill in the survey this evening. I only sell about 6-10cube a year that I have left over from my own stove needs - buggered if I’m paying to be certified on top of it

Explaining that would have been a bit auk-ward

Shouldn’t have been such a gannet

Spot on, too dear. 4”Spurs about £8 here plus bolts and will keep the heaviest fence up
-
what logs have you been chopping today!
rapalaman replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
Had a sycamore we felled and ringed up yesterday to split today. About 24” stem 15ft long - normally love splitting this but it’s horrible, gnarly and a pita. Wish I’d given it away to my normal connie log collector. Portek 7ton impact splitter can’t touch it so starting off some lumps with x27 before using alko 4 ton hydraulic. Some pieces will be sawn into cubes, some may just go on the bonfire as it’s too labour intensive to get decent sized logs out of it. -
Spot on! And given the crime detection statistics for burglaries it’s probably nearer 50 - 60% iof that demographic are thieves!

Great vid as always! Stay safe ?
