  1. Out of interest is that an oxalic acid fix like with Oak tanin stain?
  2. I remember last winter:thumbdown: Maybe good for log sales but otherwise pretty horrible
  3. we've established you can't use infected larch as firewood if bark attached so .......
  4. maybe the tutor wants high to low Even then too many variables really Done to get the students thinking methinks
  5. 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?
  6. mrs got 2 envelopes today from the union - what a waste
  7. I was thinking the same thing so it looks like we're either having or not having jackets done in t'woodburner tonight I reckon embers time lasts about 20mins so hoping thats enough
  8. with experience this does work but if your newbies see you and try to copy then you'll have a fun time:001_rolleyes:
  9. Takes about 20mins to do- costs or used to cost about £50 get the yellow book before hand will help with fire extinguisher questions etc But don't worry - you can get 6 wrong- Amazing!!! Did it a few years back- never been asked for- mind you I never bothered getting the plastic card so it's a good job. Quite honestly- if you fail this test you shouldn't be allowed shopping in ASDA let alone working on a building site
  10. I've started old mowers two or three pulls when been out of action for several years. Gumming up carburetter myth busted we regularly use old 2 stroke mixed up- must do as cans are not labelled 1,2,3,4 so they must get ignored sometimes Never had a problem- use 50:1 stihl 2 stroke mix Never had a problem with Supermarket petrol or diesel:confused1:
  11. There may be ecological benefits from solar but the financial benefits are not so obvious
  12. good groundies cheek the customer for as many cups as possible really good ones- you get bacon butties too!!
  13. other than your time did they do a free hire to make up for it
  14. CW logs sold by a nearby stove store for £186 per cu.m. - this is not competitive so don't worry about them taking your trade
  15. i think its about cs30 how come he wasn't taught properly is surely the question
  16. have to agree wish you were around last year when I was getting it in the neck for burning green oak:001_smile:
  17. If he had a big fireplace then I don't understand why he didn't specify larger logs- can't believe this hasn't happened to him before Some people......
  18. and if the guy who quotes is one of us on here:sneaky2: I have never asked to see a quote and undercut Even when the customer wants to show you it
  19. basically best to quote to get the job- then if you have underpriced you have learnt a valuable lesson I used to do it all the time when I was younger- I was always busy. Now - rarely
  20. impressed simple but clever
  21. you're so right about doctors they say men don't go to docs enough but when we do we get crap so not surprising then
  22. Rob no seriously wasn't that screaming at you!
  23. Yup It may be great for milling but it's not worth trying to sell it Makes great firewood - splits easy- seasons quickly- burns hot
  24. lazy gits
