How do people record Firewood orders and schedule deliveries ?
Woodworks replied to arboriculturist's topic in Firewood forum
Not sure if this might work but I have just started doing invoices on Google Sheets which is stored in the cloud I guess. Put the times on the invoice and then your driver can access it through Google Sheets out on the road. -
Dont know if we should pleased or not. Having a massive oil and gas company seeing its future in the UK says something about how green they think our nation is. Pleased about the jobs worried about its implications on policy
-
I knew it was expensive but not that expensive!
-
That is very high. With bills like that you sure your tenant isn't Bitcoin mining? A heat pump in a well insulated building as you describe shouldn't be costing a fortune and lighting is not usually a heavy user unless you still have halogens.
-
Not sure how other models work but our IVT heat pump was set to heat the HW up to 60C once a week. I have adjusted it to only do it once a month now as real world legionella risks from domestic how water appear to be near zero.

If logs are that cheap think about how cheap the wood they were cut from was. How on earth are you going to able to make a living?
-
So how far off was this post? Cant work out how good or bad deal they signed off on. Sharma didn't exactly seem ecstatic about it thats for sure
-
Thats daft though. Not sure I could cut and deliver for that even if the wood was supplied and delivered for free.
-
I will bare it in mind but intend to do some of the sharpens myself if all goes to plan.
-
Used to have that problem with planer knives. They would come back blued, not flat not sharp etc. It's one of the reasons I want to sharpen the bandsaw blades myself.

Most countries run in dept. If we have less people earning we have a lower GDP making us less able to pay back all our depts. Dept forces us into an endless growth spiral I also suspect its why no government tries to sort the housing price crisis. By keeping housing expensive we are forced into hyper productivity just to own a home. This keeps GDP up to pay our vast depts. Guess many of us would ease off the gas if not being throttled by the cost of mortgages.

Should add we are having a short burns most nights. Just going through crates of poor quality offcuts and general dross!
-
Clutch at these J 😀 Dont hold much merit in long term forecasts myself but hope you are right all the same
-
I would say around 2/3rds new price and you have over 4k worth there. Try putting it on Arbtrader https://arbtalk.co.uk/classifieds/

We will all be blooding freezing and the government will be getting every last drop of oil out of the North sea leaving Andy laughing all the way to the bank?

I got the ratio wrong see picture in post above. It's thicker than regular rapeseed we use for cooking but not as good a lubricant as the mineral oil. I use it in the processor which delivers a set amount of oil per cut. Its fine if I am cutting smaller wood but when cutting large stuff I notice the bar wear with bio.
-
Here you go
-
I have some from Clark Forest and its 99% rapeseed oil. Can check to see what the additive is as as I think it does state on the barrel

Our stove (Saey Scope) was a multifuel. Very early on we took the grate out and the logs just burn on the ash pan. We leave a bed of ash in it so it doesn't burn the the tray. Works better than it did before

I always liked the idea of a carbon tax. You have an allowance that you can use up on what you like ie petrol, flying, beef etc but once you go over your allowance you start getting taxed. The further you go over your allowance the higher the tax rate. It would allows flexibility. I dont want to stop eating meat but live in a lowish carbon house and never fly and would resent a meat tax. Chap down the road who has no car and lives in a tiny flat could fly off to wherever without extra taxes. The rich who chose to do everything will pay plenty of carbon taxes. The tax can be ring fenced to improve insulation, public transport, renewables etc. Probably very complicated to implement but we need to do something and if carbon is the problem just tax carbon

Thanks all for your help. I would have probably bought a smaller mill if it wasn't for the advice on here. The die is cast and the HM130Max it is. If I buy a Logosol B1001 in the next year or two you can all take the piss 😀
-
Think you have sold me on trying to build my own sharpener. Thanks
-
Thats fantastic. I had considered trying to make my own advancer in combination with a chainsaw grinder. Presumably that sharpens the front of the tooth but just a small part of the gullet? I was of the understanding you need to lightly grind the whole gullet or hairline cracks form in the end resulting in blades snapping. Have you had this problem or is just a theoretical problem that rarely happens?

"I can't see many seriously chaning their lives voluntarily until it's far too late." And with democratically elected leaders it means it wont happen. Any party who had manifesto policies that would really make a difference (ie will hurt our pockets) wont get elected.
