Hang on, Envirofag®. What do you want to know about chemical timber treatment for? EDIT: You don't. That makes more sense. Apologies. Namaste.

What doobin said. I'd rather use €20 of fuel and cutting edge and turn tree surgery waste into something usable. Plus it's on demand. Bully for you if €200 isn't a lot of money but it would be to me, especially when it's 10% of a sawmill. 108 more timbers and you've then got a free sawmill. If you have the space to store something like that, always get it.

Bed timbers presumably not made by your own fair hand. Still looking for a mill?

I’m digging it once to get it level and then I’m going to woodchip it for the full no-dig schtick. I now need to switch business tactics to convincing clients that they don’t want woodchip cluttering up their gardens and that I can take it away for a very reasonable price.

Back to the better part of the world and enjoying its bounties. Eggs from my chickens. See also, veggies thread, shortly.

I've turned a blind eye to this sort of thing in the past but you're making it impossible to now.

Can the council tell a private tree owner what to do with their tree in your area?
-
I thought it looked foreign but gave the benefit of the doubt.
-
Whatever, status quo.
-
That’s the gif that means I’ve missed something very, very obvious. Enlighten me.
-
Do the council own the trees? Is it in a conservation area? Are they subject to tree preservation orders? Assuming all no, **************** the council and their crass opinion.
-
You and everyone else.
-
Now that is interesting.
-
It's actively counterproductive sometimes. I think it's crass and energetically discriminate against businesses who use it.

Like Dan was beginning to get at, most top handle injuries will be jobbing tree surgeons, probably with the ticket, just in a rush. I did a bit of firewood yesterday. Jeans, soft boots. 661, 13” bar, softwood rakers. Safe as houses because I had all the time in the world to be very deliberate. The real danger is working too hard. No need for it.

I have a set of overalls with a patched up front from a knotted wire wheel chewing into it. That woke me up. I treat the thin slitting disks with a lot of respect. Keep speed up, very careful to not get bound, try to stay off the line of fire. I like guards too. Something to rest thumb on.

I did a chestnut like that over a paper thin (and listed…) tin roof in London. Something like 6 or 7 foot dbh. Walloping great branches. 12” bar wasn’t enough. Nothing under a convenient rigging point. Was using a (clutchless) petrol capstan for lifting at the time. Not easy. Groundsman was brilliant. Three days. Felt like it.

I've been on Rocwood for years. Just decanted my first barrel of Gator ET30 (ISO 100). Tackier. Does the stringy thing when you pour it. Visibly less transparent.
-
How did you find the RCW?
-
Tricky tree.
-
Can’t see why not but I’m no expert. You won’t cut the last 8 or so inches if there’s a stump in the way. It’ll be unpleasant going uphill.
-
It looks like JFDI again. Thanks, consultants. Have you bought that lovely pickup yet, peds? P.S. Sailor's colour is blue. It shows up better on the screen too. He hasn't turned blue in a medical sense if that was your worry.
-
Are you milling uphill or threading the bar through each cut?
