Pine and larch, nice and warm.

Damned if they do..... wait till the cuts kick in, then you will have plenty to moan about.

Yes, there is an offence called Theft by finding.

We do charge for stacking, however everyone has been happy to have it tipped.

5 x the heat, that is dangly bits. Mind they do burn like magnesium.

Yeah leylandii burns fine, customers are not keen though?

That sounds about right, power stations insist on 21% no more, no less. 25% is perfectly good.

Lol, I like it, nothing like dreaming, don't fancy prison time though.

My partner went into a lettings agency looking for a new yard. The lone woman said they had nothing, but her husband worked on a farm where there was a barn and storage/cutting area. We went down, met her husband and the farm owner, her husband seemed very nice. At this time he wasn't selling wood other than a little bit that he cut down occasionally. He had no processing kit either. He told my partner he had loads of work on and if my partner gave up his full time job (in a trade) he would give him work when the wood was quiet. We agreed when we got busy we would return the compliment. I even lined up some gardening work for him. Then suddenly it all changed, he said he wouldn't have enough work for my partner. Then he sold his landrover and bought a load of softwood (he pinched our suppliers number, who told him where to go as we have relatives in the wood trade who are big customers and he backed us up). He also bought a splitter and said the wood was for him and the farm owner (who only burns hardwood). Then he said he was really busy with work. He has also been seen working with a couple of other guy, all lies! We realise now that his wife saw an opportunity and sucked us in, my partner being far too nice to be so devious. Unfortunately, I am not a woman to be conned or crossed in this way, hence my wanting to teach him a lesson. We are looking for another farm for the New Year. We have met another firewood supplier who has been very kind, sending some business our way. We have returned the favour by selling him kindling at a good price. We have also offered to send him customers if he goes quiet (not much chance of that though, he is very busy too). Am I being reasonable to be pissed off?

It is a long story....

Oh and our competitors wood is high 30's moisture content, not good!

Season, dry out it's all the same to me. Our wood is dry, under cover, we have had no complaints and plenty of re orders.

That is the correct term for leaving wood to dry out?

No we bought ours in last year, cut it and let it season.

Thanks for the advice guys, it helps to let off steam.

Guess it comes from doing a mans job for 17yrs, you are right tho:blushing:.

Probably not lol.

You are joking !!

Bleep bleep lol. I have a good back hander and I am a bit scary. I avoid going down the farm now in case my fantasy of punching his lights out comes true. I know I am a bad girl. Oh and I am no lady!!!

Sadly, my other half is far too nice to confront him and he is trying to ignore him, I am the pitbull!

My other half offered to help him at first, but has had nothing but a pack of lies off him from day one. He has been really sneaky about how he has gone about it. We have invested over £20k, it's our first year and we ain't going down without a fight.

Yeah I know, nothing like a woman scorned lol.

Eggsarascal. We have a tree surgeon over the road who we share business with, but he is a nice bloke who doesn't keep coming over taking the piss and making sarcy comments every day. Log baron, that had crossed our mind lol.

Hey I am a bird, it won't hurt that much lol.
