I've never bought in hardwood, I use forest hardwood thinnings and arb waste. £90 per cube in 2 dumpy bags(2 bags is 1 of my cubes, actually around 1.28cube, I work on the bakers dozen theory to avoid unhappy customers) I sell alot in animal feed bags at a higher price per cube @ £4.00 per bag 12x animal feed bags is 1 dumpy = 4x12=48 x 2(dumpys) £96 per cube got about 20 animal feed bags left. Seldom delivery, working class collect their own and sort their own problems out:thumbup1:

Old school is dynamite. Not so easy to get now. Is it a wide stump? Is the wire to one side? If your more concerned about getting the fence up, you could cowboy it and slice through then run fence through, then have sessions now and again in summer with an axe, or put mushroom dowels in to rot it quicker. If your fence is panels or post and rail wood type, put both sides up and patch round the stump then deal with it later. Cutting low to floor then stumpgrinder is quickest/easy option.

Not being daft here, but you are right near Drax power station that runs on biomass, maybe worth seeing if they can loose your litte bit, I know they are fussy, but if you don't ask you won't know. Sorry I can't be more help.

Many threads and posts on here if you type in 'weight' 'volume' 'firewood' in the search box above, in the toolbar. Whereas other products such as coal tend to stay in much narrower parameters for given weight per volume. Wood varies wildly from balsa wood which weighs probably 100kg per solid cubic metre up to the heavier species at 1200kg per solid cubic metre, then timber fluctuates massively by moisture content as well. Its growth density depending on the climate its grown in. Coal is graded to consistent size before selling. Each firewood processor is setup differently, producing different size pieces which varies still the amount of wood in a given volume, hence why a full bag of shavings and sawdust is much lighter than a log half its size. This is obvious to most people, but its also why selling by weight gives the customer variable value for money. Therefore volume is not perfect but a fairer option.

This sums it up spot on I think. Will diffuse subsequent regrowth better.

Field maples can vary significantly even when stood next to each other in a hedgerow etc. Sometimes they have very soft corky fluted bark that you can rub off easier, some are a bit tougher, others have a smooth bark. In my experience age or environmental factors cannot be relied upon. Some are deeply fissured trees before the trunk is finger thick others are decades old and very little fluting .

Anyone have any spare lumps of Oak kicking around?

Being inside away from natural light and fresh air has always made me less happy. School being inside made me lethargic. I was sleep nearly by 10am most school days. I left school and thrived. Been inside all this week nearly with a stinking cold struggled to keep warm Thinking of all those things 'I should've got done" Yes your not on your own Steve. I don't mind cold weather but dull ongoing damp days are hideous.

Selfish and petty whoever did it. Bit like the thread Taupotreeman put up a while back on poisoned trees. Its stupid, it could of killed someone.

For removing concrete splashes off exterior paintwork, Ive used it on concrete mixer trucks.

Inflated price expected. They will probably leave it or drill a hole pull it out. Or worst case weld a new sill on and repair in Royal mail red (cheaply available paint) How is it going to cost £100?? I feel for you, also reckon you have the right to get a 2nd opinion. Van will be on same run tomorrow to get a photo.

Ah ha. thank you I wondered why I was double, I worked on consecutive links alternatively being slightly different sizes and the pitch being the average between the two. And if there was a drive link on every link the chain wouldn't be able to go round the sprocket:001_rolleyes: Thanks Barrie:thumbup1:

Never done it but I would be wary of when you engage the push mechanism that a branch doesn't get snagged in the frame and swing round and hit the tractors cab glass or lights. It won't happen often but when it does Might but worth u bolting a sheet of steel across the front of the push fence and maybe extend a mesh above the back of the rake. Im paranoid by experience. Murphys law is dominant in my life. :- " Anything that can go wrong, will..."
