this step cut idea seems to me to be a reason to utilise extra equipment to justify a high price to the customer. The 'Oh I couldn't do that cos I haven't got a bulldozer' For that alone- It's a great idea:biggrin:

personally wouldn't touch northern tool ever again they did the dirty on me several years ago delivered a broken heater which we only discovered over 24hrs later as it had been delivered to the farmers barn. They refused point blank to offer a replacement or refund as they said their terms and conditions required us to notify them within 24hrs. Absolutely........... Sorry..... just reminded me of them!

great photos I haven't had a good bonfire for quite some time but I remember how some on the firm just couldn't get the hang of starting a fire- i.e. loads of petrol etc but no common sense. I used to find a firelighter coupled with a kindling stack worker almost always

if there were an industry body they could fund accurate scientific tests to get calories numbers for all wood at say 2 different moisture readings 20% and green. Would be a great source of knowledge. And Finally put to bed the firewood poem:biggrin:

i thought of this but there's so many things you can't do on woodland including 'run a business' so i ruled it out- I'd love to hear from anyone who has managed to get round this one. Trouble with woodland is there's generally a neighbour or a footpath nearby that is used by walkers who would complain if you started messing things up which you would invariably do with a business( hardstanding/structures that are secure/ tracks in and out/ bonfires/ compost heaps/ woodchip heaps)- would be a great place to run a landscape orientated business though

can't sell by the ton/tonne as dryness is an issue can't sell by cu. m. as airspace is an issue. so sell by 'the load' - everyones happy

i'm with you don't rent as landlords are just in it for their own gains you want to develop the land not their pockets

Have a chat with others in your area see what happens with them If you find a boss who is working or paying when unable to then phone him up in the spring and see what he has to offer for next year. Above all, don't have a go at your boss- in my experience you get the boss you deserve. Just don't stick with him/her if you're not happy. If it's a new business then offer to do some phoning round cold for half pay- it's better to be constructive whatever happens. Or maybe offer to get work in for a cut of the profits. Do all this and you'll prove to yourself whether you will maybe make a boss one day.- just remember if you do- treat your staff right
