  1. Don't get those wellie things ! Please , promise me . THE most uncomfortable things on gods earth .
  2. You hang in there jon . You will win in the end !
  3. Bummer Jon . As you know I am down here in Sussex and its snowed again but the roads are clear . Got no work at the moment so been processing logs for me . Keep the stove going ! . Only one thing for iot bud . Drink some cizzer !
  4. A felling license applies to the site , not the person . It is a certain amount per an allocated time frame I seem to remember . I don't think you need one for that small amount in the pic . It would be wise however to check that you are nopt in a conservation area or that there are no TPOs on any thing you want to fell .
  5. This could start another Husqvarna -v - Stihl thingy . Lets not do that . Its such a yawn .
  6. Hi big Tony ! How is that new little cocker you have ? Seemed very friendly in the back of your pickup with the black and white springer . You have not got time to wast on here bud .... go and empty the muck cart at the stables !!
  7. Hi and welcome . Have answered on your "what saw "post .
  8. The 550 would be mustard in there 560 for a little more grunt . 550 on a 13"-15" bar ,560 on a 15"-18" bar , . Do cs30/31 and you are good to go !
  9. I think every one should be made to watch saving private Ryan to high lite the horrors of war . Beetleguice , The Day of the Jackal , . Just see The Hobbit in stunning 3D ... better than I thought it would be .
  10. Light and easy to fall if they get tapped by the horse . So poles not made of something dense and heavy like ever green oak !
  11. Did another thread yesterday ........ huge flock of red wings cam in at dusk over the snow covered fields . set about the hawthorn
  12. Love em Jon . The robins also like a handful of un cooked porridge oats
  13. I new you would be on it David !
  14. Thats spooky ! Where is it getting its nourishment ??
  15. There is nothing wrong with your 2 year old wood . As I said it can get rained on when it is delivered and will no different to what you are selling . 2 year old woods that you describe are well seasoned . they have just got wet . They will dry out fine given the right conditions .... lots of wind / air , off the ground and the top covered .
  16. Green wood is live wood . wet wood is wet wood but still can be well seasoned . I have felled dead standing elms , you cant get more seasoned than that . But if it gets wet it does not help its burning capabilities What I am saying is Wet seasoned wood is way better than fresh cut live wood . Dry seasoned wood is even better !
  17. I know itys not green . he said its 2 years old .
  18. I think there is a distinct difference between " green " freshly cut wood and well seasoned but wet wood . The green wood has moisture that has been taken up by the tree . Seasoned but rained on wood is a different in as much as it will dry out quicker than " green " wood in a given environment . Look at the situation where a guy has dry stored 2 year old wood and its pissing down on delivery day and he tips it onto the driveway and it pisses down all day until the bloke gets home from work . That wood aint gonna burn too well to start with but it will dry out and burn sooner than fresh cut live wood . Thats my experience any ways .
  19. Feed all year round . Fat balls , peanuts , wild bird seed , sun flower hearts and thistle seed for the gold finches .
  20. I thought that if you open the doors you get a bit more heat for a short while but then you loose more up the flue ?
