You should've given them loads of abuse back, they would all phone up the council to complain :laugh1:

Yeh we've had about 6-8inch These pics are from yesterday, there was a little more today, and it's snowing tonight aswell

I used to work on a council strimming squad, there was no training apart from how to start the machine, no risk assesments, or checking the area over before starting There was a set amount that HAD to be done per day, you had to keep a fair pace. People often park right up (and overhanging) the grass to be cut. If you leave a bit uncut it won't get touched until you're back in a months time and some old biddy will phone in to complain you haven't done the job. We weren't told what safe distance to keep from parked cars, and some even got sprayed with cut grass lol The plastic visors get covered in scratches quickly, if it's a wet day your visor will be steamed up on the inside, bits of grass/dog poo stuck to the outside, and the strimmer head will be giving off clouds of water. It can be very hard to spot pedestrians, they can see you but keep walking towards you Also once hit a pedestrian with a stone

What about wood that is seasoned but wet from rain? Also maybe my moisture meter isn't very good but I have stuff which is very well seasoned in a shed and that's about 20%. Don't see how you could get it any drier at this time of year without a heated building/kiln? And even then unless you kept it in the house it would soak up moisture again

I've got two cameras, on the back of a Transit panel van One at the top of the rear doors showing a wide overall view Another by the numberplate pointing down at the towball for hitching up the trailer Also got another camera on the back of one of my trailers Screen in the cab is now on it's last legs, think I need to get a new one!

Does he hose the logs down to make them burn longer

Staff xmas night out

I've had a pair of stihl forestwear classics, blue ones, bib and brace. Have had them a few years but never been used that much and the fabric is coming away at the seams on the back:sneaky2: Don't think they still make these exact trousers though? There's also a set of the very basic stihl green bib and brace which seem to be lasting ok! (unsure of age) There's a million threads on this subject in the general section. Think the oregon/SIP trousers are quite durable

Do you net it or tarp it?

*Wonder* what it would be like

Would what it would be like on big trunks over say a metre thick?

Nice idea, careful with your mates arm though

How much to deliver to the highlands

What kinda size of wood do you use to make the kindling from? How much do the empty bags cost? Do you know if they're UV stable? ie could you season wood in them?

Bump, just wondering if there's any updates, has anyone else bought one, what's it like, how much do the empty nets cost, what can you sell a filled net for?

You do know, that's the law already, and has been for many years?

The ones on the ebay link posted are 0.61 cubic metre

Surely there must be different degrees of kiln dried? A big company like certanly wood probably just bung it in the kiln for long enough to get the worst of the moisture out and take it down to below 25%. More like speedy seasoning than kiln drying *maybe*

I think the 5% would only apply to home heating, so if it was a pub etc buying it to burn themselves it should be 20%

Thanks for the info everyone The tree was felled because it was right next to a main road. Last year (before I started there), a few hundred yards further down, another beech came down accross the road. Luckily the only damage was to the stone wall A fair chunk of that tree still remains, I've made a start on cutting it up for firewood. I assume they cut most of it up then used something like a tractor with loader to lift the trunk out the way. I think it's about a metre thick at what would've been chest height

It seams evaryone makes speeling mistooks Hoes does Meripilus Giganteus spread? Is it spores from the actual fungus part? How safe is it to transport the logs to another wooded area?

:laugh1:Ironiclly it was neither of the saws in the photos that felled it, but it was another husky
