  2. wannabe logger
    Good point Detritus, sound advice !
  3. wannabe logger
    Ah don't really count Richard, 60 x 45 nets, logs split quite small, i'd guess about 20.

    My local coal merchant asked me last weekend to have 200 nets of bone dry firewood for a customer who buys this amount every January and it lasts him the entire year. I dutifully spent 7 hours putting the logs into nets,,,,,,, only to be told by the coal merchant today that he had to spend 2 and a half hours emptying the nets in the customer's store. Why the customer wasn't happy to just stack up the nets and use them as he needed them, i will never know

    You sound like a proper businessman logsnstuff, but this side of the pond, you can buy a net for £3 / £3.50 anywhere. Met a lad in Barcelona last Easter from London, he buys logs regularly at £7...... oh to supply logs to London.

    Wheelie bin, very versatile, takes 10 mins to unload a pick up truck load, but simple, cheap system.
  7. wannabe logger
    Haha thanks new forest, i should have pointed out that the bin is full also., sorry for the confusion:thumbup: Anyway i was previously selling 60x45cm nets to a coal merchant for £2 who in turn sold them to public for £3 or 4 for a tenner, so really nobody was making money anyway:blushing: The pick up load is alot less work and i definitely see a profit in this route. BTW it was 15 deg here in N Ireland yesterday, but who knows what Mother nature will bring in New Year.

    Thanks guys for replies...£80 it is then.....free log bagging device going to good home :-)

    Its in between Scott, one set of doors and childrens seats behind the front ones. You might notice the wheelie bin buried in the logs, (my method of transporting the logs to the garage or log store.) The load is about 4 bin fills. Thanks for reply.

    Hi all, do you think £80 for a heaped Mitsubishi pick up load of well seasoned mix of hard and softwood delivered locally is a fair price? I only ever sold them in nets before and really think i was working for nothing/very little. Thanks in advance:thumbup1:

    Sorry friend but i'm across the pond in N Ireland.

    Selling unsplit rings at £30 per 0.64 m3, is this fair to all parties? Thanks!

    Like your style Buzzsurgeon.
  14. wannabe logger

    Could anyone tell me what is the best material to use to seal up my recessed fire place and allow the flue pipe to go through it. Is fireproof plasterboard: the best choice? Thanks in advance.
  16. wannabe logger
    Just about the same as Dublin then mendiplogs.
  17. wannabe logger
    Think you are right Bodders, Dick Whitington here might be relocating to London shortly.
  18. wannabe logger
    I'm just back from Barcelona where i befriended 2 very nice guys from London. As you know talk in a bar with plenty of beer and Long Island iced teas can lead anywhere When asked how much a net of logs was in their area they told me usually £7... I feel somewhat short changed for selling to my local coal merchant for £2... even though he's only selling them for £3. On saying that his main business by far is coal, and i imagine selling the logs is only to keep customers happy. I think we'll have to up the price by about a quid in the Autumn, don't you think ???
  19. wannabe logger
    You are right scraggs, i wouldnt anyway.
  20. wannabe logger
    Thanks for that Johny, is it because he has no feedback?
  21. wannabe logger
    Seriously are chinese multi stoves considered complete rubbish? I bought a JA006 12kw double door one 18 months ago for £280, it's been lit practically every day and just love it. Once its burning well you can chuck in logs up to 22 inches long and if you want to overnight burn, a shovel full of coal on top and still shut the dampers and its still glowing in the morning, i'd recommend it to anyone.

    HI, theres a palax on ebay making about £2500, don't know what they are new, but this looks a fairly good one and i'm sure it would be alot more new.
  23. wannabe logger
    Cheers rich, maybe i'll start appreciating my wood boss a bit more in the future.
  24. wannabe logger
    Its a wood boss 028, quite old, but been regularly serviced, but this chinese thing starts every time and ticks over perfectly, so i have got very attached to it, it does say on the manual not to run for more than 60 mins continuously, but that suits me fine.i use the saw about 3 times a week and have it since last October.
  25. wannabe logger
    Ah yeah stubby, i brought them to a local saw guru and he sharpened them with his machine, but they just were'nt the same as when brand new.
