  1. Don't go to LA bad advice!!! Get a local planning consultant on your side do your research as there some crap ones and good ones. Ares work on planning apps for local authority. Ohh the irony.
  2. If your on about the graded stuff the driver dumped it on top of a pile of mixed size so it kind of defeated the whole point Spent most of Friday morning digging it out ohh the joys of firewood.
  3. I'm no nothing about mills j but a big circular can churn out big volume 15 cube plus an hour constantly if your at the lowest price for firewood that's 2k an hour would a saw mill do that?
  4. Trust me it burns green just like ash birch.
  5. If it's green at 2.5 m lengths 3.5 bays25 cube is the norm if it's tops it all be full but full of air gaps
  6. Still got all your digits then that or your typing with your left hand?
  7. Have you seen the price of that gear though. I'm happy with my Thor and tajfun. If anything I need a little processor to do the sub 6 inch should of kept the farmi
  8. Don't no what alder you have been cutting all the species varieties I've had go to that terracotta shade if orange once split
  9. Its bright orange near red when cut and goes off to a terracotta coulee when dry had it standing to saleable logs ie 22% in 6 weeks left in a windy spot it has to be the quickest drying wood. Burns green splits nice and grows like a weed in wet places Only down side if left in cord needs to be up off the floor or it will go piffy lost the bottom two foot of a stack year before last as it got wet.
  10. I do some times wonder if I would of been better sticking with the splitter and buying over size in cheep.
  11. 1/3 behind a processor you are welcome at my yard with your splitter any day.
  12. I detect a hint of tongue in cheek sarcasm about Hucks post.
  13. Probably hoping lobbing & topping brigade don't work on them.
  14. Alder great firewood. Used for making gun powder in the last century I'm led to believe.
  15. It works out at £84 a cube most pubs want big logs so there's less timber in the bag as there's more air gaps. I would say it's sold us at least 50 cube from it. Just explain to the landlord that you don't want them mentioning money as one pub told a few people there discounted price. It's Mike/ Mick or if I'm in trouble with the Mrs Michael
  16. I've got to find Mark first Jon where shall I look first the pub?
  17. We have had to adapt to the way we sell wood a lt of our existing customers would order 50 % of what they ordered the previous year. So we started doing half cube and barrow bags they have sold really well as have .7 bags . We generate a lot of sales from passing trade. Other ways we have generated trade is 30% discount to pubs then put a box if cards by the log pile the land lord gets get burn able wood at a discount and you get somewhere to showcase your product. The other one is road side signs in areas where there is known to be wet logs been sold. Not big ones 18 by 12 inch up 8 ft on telegraph poles if you do a few in the same area people see the first then stop at the second to get number. We all so do this at busy junctions on fences with banners. In march we take them down in march put them back up in October. This generates more business than any other form of advertising we do not have a website yet. I've got no choice but to get the firewood out it's now my main income for me it's got to work
  18. Oyy that's me mum yuur talkin bout
  19. Volvo drivers Yep you guessed it audi driver
  20. I wonder if they do mail order? We had a 10 inch M&S pork pie covered in cranberries for xmas real nice meat and sweetest cranberries I've ever tasted it was lush
  21. No there all in there escort vans coming up your end with pitch forks at the ready on a witch hunt.
  22. Shaving dentists and local authority's
  23. All the beer money boys must have been nicked as it's picking up more and more out at. 7 back at 6 tires me out more delivering than processing.
  24. Better get this thread back on track. I'll take 4 loads off you stu but would prefer species mentioned in our conversation. Looks like you got a nice set up been built good luck to you. I
