  1. Interesting stuff ! Do you work in the emergency services
  2. Wow I thought my yard was bad is there hardcore underneath there?
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. We live in a listed property and took a willow out TO just told us to get on with it
  7. That's a right royal pain in the arse
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Most don't get that far I think you just struck lucky
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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?
  17. Trust me it burns green just like ash birch.
  18. 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
  19. Still got all your digits then that or your typing with your left hand?
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. I do some times wonder if I would of been better sticking with the splitter and buying over size in cheep.
  24. 1/3 behind a processor you are welcome at my yard with your splitter any day.
  25. I detect a hint of tongue in cheek sarcasm about Hucks post.
