  1. So if I test moisture content of every load, which is recorded on each invoice, I am in possession of felling licences, give storage instruction, I still have to be part of the Hetas scheme?? I sell under 600m3 per year. We wouldn’t have a firewood business if I sold wet wood!!
  2. My husband gave me one years ago and I managed to put it in my arm, still got the scar[emoji23] I was his human log deck on our first firewood processor, my job to shift 3 metre lengths onto the machine...thankfull for the day I bought a log deck
  3. No idea where your yard is, but in Newcastle it costs £20 tonne to dump your waste, logs & chip. You should get Arb waste if people find out you are offering to take it. I know where all the free chip & log sites are, but prefer to get it to my yard for own use if travel distances allow..
  4. Don’t know how many of us, especially the women are still going strong over 50? But not looked at this site for a long time & never seen this thread! Just saying Hi to anyone who looks on it, I’m running a tree business started 1987 by my myself & late husband Tim Fathers, if anyone has heard of him I’d love to hear. Still out on the ground, though not up the trees.. [emoji4]
  5. My favourite boots, owned 4 pairs now.. always go back to them as they are warm, comfortable & very waterproof without costing a fortune. They are also easy to get in a size 6!
  6. Thanks, searched thread content & couldn't find that comment.
  7. I’ve missed the relevance of a 2 cubic metre load? Can someone explain
  8. Only other vehicles I see out on roads are delivering fuel or food etc, coal lorries, oil delivery wagons, couriers, postman etc, it’s still cold and there are homes that rely on logs for heating. It’s not busy, but I’m grateful to be doing deliveries now, I phone before to ask if customer can stay in house, tip logs, email invoice for bank transfer. It’s sad to see people waving at a window, they are lonely and isolated, but at least they can stack logs and have something useful to do?
  9. Hi Bill, Jen got the first aid course sorted for Friday, so all good. Hope you get a trainer for yours, I will be running an EFAW+F next April if you still need it done.
  10. Bill, just checking Jen can make Friday, if so will get booked. I didn't realise it was this week!
  11. Hi Bill, everyone has current EFAW+F which I usually get a trainer in for. Just one new person who has not done the course needs it ASAP, could travel together if you go down to Leyburn on 15th.? I’ve not asked if any or how many places left yet. steph
