  1. What length is it and what species
  2. If at levels off at £40 it would work quite well.
  3. You would be surprised at how many people heat there homes with just firewood one old girl gets us to deliver ours then a lad down the road from her comes with wood that's a bit green he stacks his then ours . She keeps telling me he might learn something well stacking ours. Can just imagine him grumbling well stacking ours .
  4. Nope mate of mine doing 1600 tonne in a 30 mile radios
  5. Better let Boyce deal with the log sales don't think even del & riddles would sell much firewood in Peckham.
  6. There not a bonus then are they you need to keep growing doing 100 200. 300 tonne is nice extra money but if your solely in the firewood game you need to be doing over. 800 t to make a viable business. We're not there yet but this time next year Rodney.
  7. Got to be more than an hour a day wake up in the morning have a nose and cast my eye over it in the evening well watching the box
  8. Fair play to her
  9. Nope like hearing the kching when I push the joystick up on the tajfun been doing over size today and I'm knackered.
  10. Steve where your situated I know for a fact you can get cord for £40 on hardwood and 29 for soft. So the average is around the cost you want. We're buying in that area and getting a load back to Herefordshire so drivers can get home.
  11. Can't wait to be stood in the sun not the rain in an inch of **** . No deliveries to fit in . Gambling on how much cord to buy.
  12. Um yes but what about growing your business where do those new customers come from there not bonuses there a necessity.
  13. Interesting stuff ! Do you work in the emergency services
  14. Wow I thought my yard was bad is there hardcore underneath there?
  15. They would have to have lifting gear plus risk the raff of two Staffs plus it's in between two houses that would not take kindly to people pinching my cord. Is your yard not by your house jon
  16. There is not a direct correlation between oil and cord price but the more savvy customer who heats his house with both will flick the switch rather than light the fire. The price of cord will start to drop as we have had two mild winters after a boom year in firewood so there is an abundance of cord at the moment will it stop low I don't think so. It's not going to make much difference to us we source cord cheep but pay a hefty price on transport.
  17. If he mangers to get his phone and ring the emergency services his spinal cord trauma can not be to serious. Hopefully just broken bones which in time will heal. Still a very frightening position to be in dangling from a sea king not knowing what the future holds.
  18. We live in a listed property and took a willow out TO just told us to get on with it
  19. That's a right royal pain in the arse
  20. You should not be sat in the fast lane , lane 2 &3 are for overtaking not sitting at a constant. The way motorways are used in the uk is awful part of the test should be motorway based. I don't agree with tail gaiting at all but there nothing worse than some one sat in the outside lane with 150 meters between them and the next car well lane two has room to pull back into.
  21. Don't know I've got one that drives past the yard with the window down giving me the death glare, must remember to take the bait catapult and dirty nappy:lol: Rival merchants with the I should be the only one doing this attitude to get on my wick!
  22. If you had been caught out though they can get a court order to have you removed in a very short space of time. Can you imagine having to set up yard again at short notice
  23. Yep changes with the wind. Good for you will you up production for2015/16 season. We're buying in everything we can and stacking it in a field
  24. Most don't get that far I think you just struck lucky
  25. You will not stay under the radar for long especially if you get involved in firewood it seems to draw the shady type who will stitch you up at the drop of a hat
