    On the deck in yard. Love sycamore but always have problems with mould Hornbeam is also great but if you get a 14 inch piece with buttresses on it struggles to split as the grain is so twisted

    Been paying £50 for ash nowt under 12 inch and been down 14 months. Going to look at a lot of beech / ash tomorrow the guys mentioned £46 it been down since nov Then I hear of a chap up the road paying £29.00 for standing birch and chestnut We can get chestnut at £34 but the transport from location put £13 on it.

    I'm sorry but I'd struggle to pay him the full amount. I've had lads come work for me before and in my first hour have done more than them. Climbers getting numerous saws stuck then dropping a top on the chipper Lads been left to chip with hired in chipper and leaving it in a field next to property while they went to get a Macdonolds breakfast 16 mile round trip. Neither of thesa two examples were paid what was agreed will I loose sleep over it no just use lads I know now.

    A freind of ours works for channel 4 racing and said she'd like to punch producers on a daily basis. Also said things get heated very quickly due to tight schedules and repeating tasks constantly. No excuse for vilonce I know

    TCD your missing my point all together maybe it's the way I'm trying to put it across. I completely get the law has to be obeyed even when it's an ass. The point I'm trying to make can an officer not use his discretion at when it should be applied.
  13. Mortimer Firewood
    You no a vast amount more than me on the subject Iain but with all the extra building space required for storing chip and pretty big building for boiler and asoceated equipment. This cost has to be considered. Farmers usaly have the building at there disposale.

    People are usaly offended by any body that tells it as it is. I'm afraid the btitish have become to afraid to say it as it is incase of upsetting anyone. That's why I like Arbtalk so much as people are not afraid to speak there mind.

    Bps is responsible for some monster trees been felled round here. I've been asked to fell trees by farmers so they comply. Conversation usually goes as follows..... Can you fell this ash tree, why this 200 year old ash lets drop those alders or that crappy willow, no I want the ash down want to sell the wood to the log man and it's big and makes a mess on my ploughing. I usually leave at this point as you might as well be talking to a brick

    We have a 540 Next to the bread board still struggles on a bloomer

    Germany has the common sense rule though
  18. Mortimer Firewood
    Cost verses reward figures don't stack up cost of machinery higher cost of chip is huge. Would of been ok before the first cut in RHI:blushing:
  19. Mortimer Firewood
    So your saying the state should enforce all law at all times not expect there enforcers to have a little common sense. :sneaky2:

    JC bit like marmite really... Me I'm in the love camp As for slating R Hammond he's a very good friend sons god farther does a huge amount of charity work for BCH. Air ambulance. M trust Really nice guy. Look at the way he bounced back from that accident in a jet car that takes true grit and determination

    How many miles a year do you do Brochure candy floss you ever been in a head on or side impact they work trust me it's painfully enough hitting a bag of air better than plod having to identifies you by medical records as there still pulling your face out the dash..
  22. Mortimer Firewood
    Can't teach some one commen sense. Every one I know that's entered or opplied for the police force seems to have very little.

    Jon I'd be looking at a shogun lwb if it was not for work
  24. Mortimer Firewood
    Up here they wasn't anything but oak. Strange how it differs from county to county. I can't shift softwood either going to give a barrow bag away with two bags of hardwood next year.
  25. Mortimer Firewood
    Blessing in disguise me thinks. Have you been in touch with your local euro forest agent surly they have got hardwood some areas there well priced others a little expensive. Last time we bought hardwood off them it was £38.00 there was a bit of birch and alder in it but ok we bought ours through a hauliers acount so may of got discount.
