You're both right But- Having done the course I now have much more confidence to set up roadworks and this means we use them more rather than just cut and hope with someone in the road holding up their hand to stop traffic. All in all well worth splashing out on.

£160 for 10m3 Bulk Logs available
likeitorlumpit replied to Chalgravesteve's topic in Firewood forum
what does he mean by better is it that you don't have to load them so often maybe... -
Prob your firm short of work so everyones tense Let it ride over you unless you want to get stuck in of course
-
If you just want to close the road for up to 2 mins you will need 2 stop go boards. prob just 2 traffic control ahead and 2 men at work- depends if you are working at a complicated junction or not. Prob hire for £30 per week plus you need 8 cones- all less than £50 Plus you need chapter 8 streetworks operative plus a supervisor on the firm- fairly easy course

Starting up a business .... ??
likeitorlumpit replied to abigail.waddecar's topic in Business Management
Started with nothing and would love to say that hard work etc was the way and boy have I worked. BUT I look back and sometimes I know that I should have borrowed and got the big kit I needed rather than struggle. What I'm saying is that it is OK to borrow so long as you appreciate it!! Not just for a shiney new vehicle when a second hand one would suffice and leave you with money for a chipper/other kit. Capital investment is good -
verify that:thumbup:

any biscuits frankly Preferably not the soft ones that have been kicking around for years ''but the blokes won't mind- they're outside workers'' Give them the chipped mugs too!! Fortunately this happens rarely but when it does- don't you notice it.

They don't like it when someone undercuts them:001_smile:

plus some trees grafted low down and eventually you fins a stump 50% bigger than the trunk.......................................doh

they do- 1 operative on site at all times+ 1 supervisor on the firm. The lights should have been on sensor. We got accused this week- 'you're always cutting bits off trees' - yes madam it's to prevent the double decker busses hitting them- Don't get double deckers down here she says. Immediately one appeared. She stormed off muttering- hilarious

Got taken for a meal in the members and a days cricket at the home of Kent cricket- then whilst there given the go ahead on a large contract- nice way to do business I thought. Other than that it's mainly small token amounts and tea which are always gratefully received.

this is it so you have to let it rot where it's felled source of infection surely there must be some more sensible path
-
well if he docked £200 for that - then he deserved the stone through the window These guys - you only meet them occasionally but when you do they leave a bad taste. I can't work out what makes them tick- must have been bullied when younger gets my vote

Interesting Do you envisage giving them a certificate of training at the completion of the day. What if they are totally crap- do they have to return their saw:thumbup1: That should be fun dealing with. Along the lines of- sorry mate - that saw you bought- well- you gotta give it back cos you are useless and may kill yourself! Good luck Jonsie Think about the legal side of it if one of them does have an accident- would you be covered- just a thought

Out of interest is that an oxalic acid fix like with Oak tanin stain?
-
I remember last winter:thumbdown: Maybe good for log sales but otherwise pretty horrible
-
we've established you can't use infected larch as firewood if bark attached so .......
-
maybe the tutor wants high to low Even then too many variables really Done to get the students thinking methinks
-
Out of interest- can you sell phytopthera infected larch as firewood- I thought the bark had to be removed to transport I assume it dies and is felled and just lays there- anyone got more knowledge?
