I prefer auto, so easy and relaxing to drive

Looks like ash to me
-
I believe you must know your limits and not to exceed them. I have just had 700 tons of ash felled in my wood by professionals as there is no way I would have attempted it. I will fell small trees on the other hand or ring up windblown branches. I have seen professionals make a real cock up when felling. Common sense, know your limits and plan the work

I have been using chainsaws for many years, now aged 75, but have never had training. I own a woodland and still use chainsaws occasionally. However I know my limits and always call in trained operatives when it is too much for me. I wear ppe and always insure I have a good look at the job before I start work( this applies to any job that I do). I am very lucky that I am very fit and healthy and really enjoy working in the wood which I do most days

I lost 5 in one morning. Hens were kept in a run with 4’ netting. On the outside I had an electric fence with three strands of wire at different heights. I let the hens out at 7am and went and had breakfast but did not switch the electric fence on. Checked them at 8.30am and they were all dead with there heads missing

Tom Tom for me as well, always found them very good

Dont think Boris will be PM long enough to do anything. He has a lot of enemies that will bring him down very quickly. Just hope Corbyn does not get in

How easy is it to gain access to sweep the chimney, also looks and as availability of spares

I wonder if we will ever come out of the EU. Can’t see it myself, but if we do I think the package will be more or less the same as we have currently. It will be in name only in my opinion
-
Yes and even hotter

Warm and wet here as well

Which stove - Heart or Head
Countryboy replied to mikefearn83's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I also have a woodwarm stove and love it. The stove is very easy to lite and control. It is also easy to access the chimney when sweeping it -
That’s families for you. I have a Sister who I was very close to, we used to speak to each other at least once every week. Then for some reason she does not reply to my emails, I have written to her and phoned on several occasions but she never replies to me. The last time I spoke to her was about four years ago when I asked her if I had upset her and she saint no. I don’t know what else I can do
-
Well done today Sarries you played well
-
I would love to see Jon back on here. He livens things up
-
Yes, I am 74 but fairly fit. I have recently planted quite a few trees. Unfortunately I have to have around 40 felled soon because they are leaning over the highway. The Forestry Commission has asked me to replant the area with Hazel which will be done in the autumn
-
I am doing my bit, I have planted many more trees in my wood than I have cut down, I agree with you not many woodlands are replanting, certainly not round here
-
Hard frost but very still. Very healthy
-
All the best to you all. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Lets hope its a good one as we need it.

I use the x27 for smallish logs and the Ochsenkopf big-ox splitting maul for anything that won’t split easy. The big ox is a bit heavy so would not want to use it all day
