It's been freezing up here for weeks and similar forecast so guess why demand so strong. But how many years down south you had an intermittent season?
-
My guess would be that if he put price up to reflect increase in raw materials cost and explained why then he wouldn't lose many customers. And even if he did then better to do less customers at increased prices.
-
Roundwood price can't be too high. Firewood processors should just adjust their retail price according to cost of raw materials. If they do things will all level out
-
Harvesting is a sideline. Likewise Firewood which can be profitable but simply demands too much time and has too many individual customers. I enjoy both but something has to give.
-
Same here despite pulling website (it needed redone anyway) and telling customers we're no longer doing firewood. Another week of freezing forecast though so don't see any respite

Cask loses approx 1% ABV and 2% volume per year, does vary though. Barrels are emptied 100%, the liquid left in scrap barrels is whisky that's been absorbed by the wood and then leaches back out over time, also water which gets into empty barrels lying around If ABV drops below 40% in cask then that's a major cockup but can be brought up back up by marrying in younger cask (higher ABV) when they bottle it. Edit: these days most distilleries fill at something like 64%, they fill at same ABV to make it easier for trading casks for blending

Lot of money for bottle of booze. Not sure what release that one is but tried 50yo glenfiddich about ten years ago, was good.

Who's doing it for you County? I'm thinking of getting machine tickets this year

BNJ is a good blend and always had good reputation. same company as Glenmorangie, Ardbeg.... And Moët Edit: my marriage of malts tasted very good!

Finished dregs from three bottles so stuck them into one glass, quite nice. Glendronach, Glenrothes, Ardmore

I may be wrong but I don't think this bill has been passed yet. Typical snp left wing control freakery It's says in bbc report that the police welcomed this, the report I read a while ago said the police weren't in favour as they didn't have resources to police it, also that they have enough options already to deal,with air gun crime.

Looks like we're all with Mull... Even the much maligned HSE!

Scaffolding to replace one slate on a two storey house - totally uneconomic. So some type of common sense has to be applied. Company owner/self employed person does it so not asking an employee? Would be interesting to see the official guidelines on this one
-
Well the guy who claims he can tell the difference also says he "works too hard and fast to get cold hands"!!! Both statements might true for all I know, I'm a fan of making what can be an uncomfortable job as pleasant as possible though

I understand you reaching breaking point with the hse when they come away with nonsense like that. I'm not sure swapping to forestry will solve your problems though as it's beset with same nonsense, likewise the great british urban public/small minded people can be found everywhere. Coming back to forestry specifically you need lots of specialised kit and it's more expensive than arb stuff. Will take a while building up contacts on estates etc also to try source the timber. Suggest you take a holiday and come back with a clear mind and then make decision on way ahead. Good luck. Edit: or don't turn your back on arb altogether but keep at it for income stream while you build forestry side of business

Snowing heavy here just now and not forecast to get above 2 degrees in next 7 days, coldest is minus 4.
-
There's only couple hundred grams weight difference between xp & xpg, any difference in vibration could be from multitude of things.

Wouldn't buy a new saw without them. As mentioned it's not just the cold days but the wet days where they come into their own.
