Thanks for the thought but the trailer rarely gets used these for deliveries these days Getting access to places with it was tricky enough when towing with the old 90 now with this great lump backing into drives is a nightmare. Got the pickup to use instead of the trailer.

This is our single cab with greedy boards and 2 cube plus 2m3 in the trailer. Thought it a good sized load until now.
-
Not being funny but how? Built some greedy boards for our Dmax single cab and get 2m3 on it.

Looks like it's bound to happen the Express said so http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/554183/Britain-red-alert-displaced-Polar-vortex-unleash-weather-hell-next-week
-
Not many. Still unload the crates by hand so very slow turnaround back at base. Did 7m3 last Saturday and one of those was 3m3 to one customer. Not a hectic but probably only time to have done one more drop. Most of our loads are 2m3.

Don't think any forecast are reliably accurate at that range. Here's one for your area for 10 days Long term forecast for Hampshire, England (United Kingdom) ? yr.no

Looking cold but not excessively so from the forecasts I have seen. North westerlys for next week with some snow in the northwest and down the west on higher ground.
-
Haha sounds a familiar problem. I don't stop it coming in but do my fair share of hoovering to make amends. Henry is my preferred weapon of choice.
-
That is a long way to have to go. Good that your customers can take 3 cube though

Had some for a few years now. Cost was high as an early adopter but the return for top rate FIT has more than made up for it. They have produced to date 11.5 megawatt hours which is not to be sniffed at. It's one of the few products I have seen that actually do exactly as advertised PRESUMING A GOOD SITE. Even now in the depths of winter if the sun pops out I can run the ground source heat pump and washing machine for about 6 hours just off the PV.

Not very glamorous but always think fitting skirting boards nicely is a right PITA. All those internal and external miters that aren't quite 45 degrees because the wall is off. New jobs never so bad as things can be square and true from the off. Here is an odd one that the design was the complex bit and construction was interesting working on something so big and heavy on your own. It's a sound proof box for a very large planer that can be wheeled apart for maintenance. 4mx4mx12m

So kg per £ pretty much the same as dry logs at £100 per cube. I know which I would rather have
-
You do but a line has to be drawn somewhere. All single m3 loads get a £5 delivery charge from us to encourage 2m3 loads. Still only go about 8 mile radius before charging an extra delivery cost. It's not just the fuel but the shear time taken. A 16 mile round trip on Devon lanes can take an age. Just had a quick look through our customers and the furthest one is 10 miles away and pays extra for the delivery.
-
Agreed it's partly location dependant. What made me ask is just saw an advert offering free delivery within a 30 mile radius and smallest load was well under a £100. This is in a sparsely populated area but still 30 miles for free!
-
So how far will you go to deliver logs for free? Edit. The deliver part that is not the logs
-
Much improved I am pleased to say

Why should having a wood burner inside an insulated container mean there is a high risk of a fire? We have them in our homes which are full of combustibles without any mishaps. A quick google of spontaneous combustion temperature for wood is somewhere above 250C. Glass fibres temperature is even higher but can't find anything out on resin which holds the glass together. Would have thought a carefully run stove placed so it can't come into direct contact with anything combustible should be fine. The idea of having a stove inside a kiln makes complete sense to me

+3 and raining here. Quite jealous of the rest of you with your dry and cold That fire looks like an ideal way to spend the morning Daniel

Bang on for me:thumbup1: Newish to logs and first truck is.........Isuzu Dmax

Oops you are quite right. I am on my way to Dorset when I go past them
