  1. He is a firewood merchant isn't he
  2. Is it yours??
  3. Yes steel erection. When I was on Saint David's two shopping centre in Cardiff the beams supporting the whole structure were bought in in 15 m lengths 18 tonnes then two welded together with the v butt section you mentioned. I thought the welder was joking when he said each weld would take two weeks to complete there was 30 to do.
  4. That's lush would love to do that?
  5. Mine use to be johny then some nice developer said he wanted to build on it so who was I to argue
  6. Bit of chip and a few logs that's fine add 800t of cord and 200 spud boxes and 500 cube bags it's nice to know the correct planning is in place. Horses for courses I guess.
  7. £365 a month plus electric water and phone
  8. My point was not that it could not be done I was just surprised it was used as it's all way looked upon as been second class in steel construction
  9. In what trade were you using mig to weld 10 inch fillet I've been on some of the biggest steel construction jobs in Europe and never seen mig been used on small fillets let alone mid size
  10. If your quite flexible you will be fine doesn't have to be full throttle More into sparring now keeps my temper in check
  11. They give with one and take it away with the other each year they take a little more:sneaky2: Bought a packet of fags in the services the other day £9.60 wtf
  12. Won't be doing it again. Lost its shine in the first season.
  13. That's not good lucky you caught them before they went has something gone through it that would cause that
  14. We have an Atlas and an ifor Williams bought the latter at the beginning of October 2013 with high sides ramps and extra heavy duty tyres is was £5400 the atlas is 6 years old(I think) and looks newer than the ifor. When I change it I'll be getting a Brian James
  15. I no it's a little further away but Bucknell nurseries is on the Shropshire/Wales border. Everything we have had from them that has been very good and there very well priced. We had 150!Yew in 2012 that were bushy and 3ft for £6.50 not one failed They do deliveries if the quantity is right
  16. I'm sure it's like a lot of things you can get a good one and a bad one. My uncle had a 98 machine ag spec the drive went and it was £4500 fix this machine had worked hard but been well maintained. We have a matbro that looks ruff but is a real work horse the only thing we have replaced is wire in the loom that have broken down. While the matbro was been repaired we hired a New JCB the boom got stuck out twice when the fitter attended he said they had nothing but trouble with this model.
  17. Beau yep we had some birch this year prob 4 ton mixed in with some beech. It was dry when split real dry now. I gave our mechanic a bag with 80% beech 20% birch he could not get the birch to burn I just thought he was having a laugh. Tried the bloody stuff and it won't burn even when put on at peak temperature it smoulders away.
  18. Our sweet chestnut must be different to your there's an old SC grove next to our old house it's all dead every now and then a bow will drop been dead ages hits the deck at22% mc and still heavy as sin. I split it for mum and although it gets drier it don't seem to get lighter. Mum has to be the fussiest person I know when it comes to firewood and she never complains about it. All the guys I no who have been selling it kiln dried have had great feedback about it
  19. Here's my number I'd want to have a chat first as I've passed details on before and when the loads arrived they have expected him to drive two units over a ploughed field. :lol: 07964947272
  20. I no our haulier took a load of ash out of high Wycombe to Preston and the total was £1700
  21. Does it have a pink tinge to it under the bark??
  22. From what your describing it sounds more like H C but I may be wrong
  23. Has some kiln dried and it was still heavy @ 20 mc burns really well though are you sure it's not horse chestnut as that drys quite light and not very impressive burning
  24. Let's hope it was a minor fault and it gives you years of trouble free chipping will be down for some fencing at the end of month.
