  1. The official name of our state is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I still think Great Britain will exist without Scotland so I can't see a name change in the offing. Dave
  2. Supply and demand influence prices along with processing costs. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Not to my customers!
  4. Less energy in a given volume compared to hard woods. About a third less. Dave
  5. That's right woody. Only bigger schemes but can see it coming to all. Dave
  6. Been reading up on the changes coming to woodfuel supplies to those receiving the rhi. Could have quite an impact particularly if it comes to smaller schemes like those log kilns and importers of woodfuel. This is from the Central Point of Expertise on Timber (CPET). It's a service of the UK Government. CPET has been set up by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Legal and sustainable forest source requirements for woodfuel — Central Point of Expertise on Timber Procurement (CPET) Dave
  7. Just done a deal on a 3 seater and two seater recliner sofas. So now....... 2m3 = 2 sofas
  8. £133/m3 hardwood. Sold in 0.75m3 vented bags. Dave
  9. You'll be cutting all around me. I'll lIsten for a 372. Dave
  10. We've done the work when we've processed a tree into logs. I will sell green but not at a discount. Dave
  11. I'm trialling bags from Fife. 0.75m3 with mosquito nets. Lots of distortion when lifting and stacking. Dave
  12. Our countax c600h is well past it's best but I'm starting to strip it down hopefully to fix it's lack of power. I reckon it's the hydrostatic drive. I'm going to try and change oil and if that doesn't do it I'll ponder the replacement 400 quid part very carefully. Dave
  13. Oh aye. Troughs, pigs, etc. Daze
  14. They need to collect their expenses.
  15. And the SNP mp's take great delight in doing so.
  16. Looks limited in its use. FEL would do it better. Dave
  17. Try paying your mortgage in Euros next month then.
  18. My mortgage is in pounds. You can bet the bank will want paying in pounds not some new unproven currency. Salmond banging on about how no currency union would be a hundreds of millions of pounds tax on English companies exporting to Scotland. That statement shows he's unable to think logically and will say anything to support his floundering snp position. English companies won't pay for currency exchanges....Scots and Scottish businesses will. We're the ones that will see the price rises. I fear for home, my pension and my sanity as this drags on and on. Dave
  19. Having spent two years passing through Livingston I can agree!
  20. Like wise. Dave
  21. We should stop drying logs. Think of the water we're putting into the air. Dave :-!
  22. My tightly stacked store takes longer than my lazily lobbed piles. Same airflow. Dave
  23. Love these threads! We all love engines and want to help. These lumps of metal, built to tolerances finer than our own bodies, controlled by computer and sensors and yet we can diagnose from the colour of the smoke! ! We're brilliant at producing lists of diesel engine faults! I'd see if white smoke is steam by holding something cold by exhaust. Look for condensation. To me it's fuel so I'd say add injectors to the list. Dave
  24. I've had all sorts of problems with felling license for a small wood. I think they think I've got the decimal point in the wrong place! ! Dave
  25. Gulp. I use these forecasts to plan. The guy is one of the calmest and level headed forecasters going. He's worried about the weekend weather in south west. Looks terrible. Dave
