Wow, are you kidding me? I'd move out of the house, fill that with wood and live there! It's idyllic!
-
Thanks Brian, sounds perfect mate, I've got all the stuff..when can you start?
-
Also good advice, the pitched roof is a must, and the bay idea was something I'd contemplated as my wood comes in sporadic 'batches' of varying ages and types. Thanks:thumbup1:
-
Good tip there Lucan, thanks mate.

Whilst I feel your pain as a provider of ready to use firewood. I would not be getting anyone else to deliver or stack my wood. It is all collected by me or delivered as felled/cord wood which I cut, split and season on my own. I even unload the truck if they deliver! Nobody other than me will have access to this log store. If it's not nig enough for 'the load delivered' then I'll extend it

Thanks sailor. Great tip and a frugal solution. Might look into doing similar for myself and my parents, nice idea!

3 Eastern European honeys, Or 1 English lady. What did you have in mind Jon?
-
That's a cracking job there Brian! May I ask, what was your modus operandi?
-
Very nice Steve, Might need to recalibrate my ambition to something nearer that. I was all for welding up a small barn lol. Now that I look at the beautiful simplicity of those designs, I'm leaning back towards wood. Thanks

Wedding in wood request

Take the money and run! It's in the woods, who'd ever know! Unless it's BBC's 'Don't Tell The Bride'... In which case as many as 12 people may see you on telly, so be careful -
Wow, that's quite a log store! I'm jealous of the amount of wood you have too How deep is it? I was thinking of something to store logs that I've already cut down to 10" odd lengths and split, so I can just go and fill a barrow and bring them up to the house. Yours looks like it's housing cordwood.

I am planning to build a log store to keep my processed wood in before the winter is upon us. I had initially intended to use old (strong) pallets to form a base, with (gappy) pallets forming the back and sides, and a tarp thrown over the top. I'm now contemplating this design but with a sloping felt roof instead. Just to confuse the issue, I'm wondering whether a small portal frame type structure using welded angle sections and box might offer a stronger solution. Any advice would be appreciated. P.s I'll be making it myself.

I too looked at these contraptions for personal use. The bit that put me off was the exorbitant cost and the worry it'd knacker my 18v drill in short order. As a result I went manual and bought a set of locking Bailey rods which so far have only been used to clear a blocked drain. Caused by my other half who thinks grease, food waste and oil are all water soluble!

As the late, great Roy Castle used to say "Reciprocation's what you need.....if you wanna be a Record Breaker!" ...oh wait, no it was dedication

So it's a 461 and some pink trousers. Job jobbed.
-
So which is better? Husqvarna or Stihl?
-
Where are you seeing the Stiga at that price? Some Interweb links might be useful in helping us choose.

Heads up, dodgy bloke checking out my lock up

Stakeout with some heavies from the local pub? -
Used Husqvarna it is then, lol
-
If you can find one, get a Kaaz Danarm VF500. Kawasaki engine, lowest vibrations in class, and about 500 bones brand new. Way better than my Stihl FS90 but a bit more raucous. If I had unlimited funds I'd buy a new Stihl FS490

Define 'not too large'?
-
You'll be fine now! Just a suggestion, look at purchasing an Angel juicer (5500) and juice green leaves such as kale, spinach and pak choi, mixed with carrots for sweetness. Also get some IP6 and Inositol powders (not rip off capsules) to aid your resistance to relapse. Have fun!

Any drunk gentlemen? That's the only one we haven't ruled out. Hic.

you didn't hear about the new Vespa Tax?

Or a drunk gentleman.
