Few on here and myself use Hot Igloo Webdesign LTDHome - Landing Page - Hot Igloo Webdesign LTD

Terry is the man there who is in charge, does a good job and very reasonably price for the quality and speed of work.

When i was looking for a pick-up, i was all set for a Defender...then I spoke to my friend who is the manager of a sand quarry.

The only truck he will buy for the company is a Hilux, as they cost so much less over the life of ownership than anything else they have had.

I'd say the hilux drives better on roads than the L200 and is a million times better on road than a defender.

I know a couple of people with Navaras and they have had a number of problems and also said the paint is ridiculously thin.

Highly recommend Hot Igloo Webdesign LTDHome - Landing Page - Hot Igloo Webdesign LTD

Terry is the man there, he's helped myself (with non-arb sites) and there are a few others on here have used his services and are very happy.

here is my attempt...

intradesting...

Sweep's Library - Firewood BTU Comparison Charts

Borrowed a moisture meter from my dad and a little confused as to the results.

take a bit of sycamore 4"x4" out the store, end grains 26-28%, side 21-22%.

take an axe and split down the middle 32%

what's the general reading most people go for?

done it for a few bits and it's all about the same.

it's only for firewood, so not loosing sleep over it

Danny

is there any ash?

Cheers,

Danny

put your details in here, call the place closest to you.

I bought a bundle on eBay, pile of ropes, carabineers, harness, boots, helmet and trousers.

I threw the harness and helmet straight in the bin.

Use the rope for general stuff, like tying up something in the back of the truck to save it battering the sides of the truck

Carabineers for non-load related use - effective garage hooks

And wear the trousers and boots.

Don’t assume people don’t know what they are buying

Dan

used it for a couple of hours last night, managed to get through almost all of the big stuff i had sitting about.

huge difference between this and any other saw I have used, never bogged down once, even with the full bar in a huge chunk of dry beech.

Dan

had been looking for a bigger saw to get through some larger pieces i've got laying about and something that I could mill with at some point...

picked this up yesterday, BEAST

got a 24" bar on it just now, read the manual and this will take a 60" bar!?!

if anyone is interested.... it's also on eBay.

chainsaw | eBay

thank you!

like I say, I had my doubts, but could have been a bargain at the price offered.

cheers,

Dan

Been offered this from a friend of a friend, of a friend...

and it is priced "too good to be true!"

worried that it might be a fake...

used a mini JCB to dig out the roots of some Scots Pine.

I'm now left with a few fairly large piles of roots...about 0.5tonne each.

Is there any use for them, for anything?

Dan

If you had said before, I could have come and given you a hand with the kiln.

Unfortunately I've agreed to put down a patio tomorrow, ended up rocking some of it tonight to avoid the heat tomorrow.

Cheers

Danny

I might well take you up on that, J!

Gets to a point financially as well where I need to weigh it all up. A 10 tonne splitter is going to be best part of £1k, can cobble a screw splitter together for under £300 (which was the same as the hydraulic splitter i just bought)

and I'm not doing this for anything else, other than home wood burning stove...which is the whole plan was to save some cash....

Must be HOT up in the sawmill in this weather?

Danny

so, after a bit of advice and warnings etc i ended up buying a 7tonne hydraulic splitter...

Which, to be honest just aint up to the job of what i need it to do, timber that has been cut for a long time, knotted, forked etc.

Copes totally fine with the normal stuff that is straight and to a decent size, but over half what i need done is not 'normal'.

Going to go for the hycrack type afterall, with a decent engine!

Thanks for all the information, has been very useful.

I want to plant along the back end of the garden, that is 20m wide - just one single row.

want the trees to give some privacy along the back of the garden and some fruit would be really nice.

Had a cherry tree in the garden as a kid, did like that.

As for eating apple, I like Granny Smith & Pink lady – anything close to those two that will do well in a Scottish garden?

Soil type I would say is a mixture. Predominantly clay / sand. But, it has had Scots Pine growing on it for the last 50 years, so the soil is pretty rich and the top 4 inches is like compost, of pine needles, mulched bark etc.

Height wise - MM106 looks about right

For that size of area, 3 apple trees and a cherry tree seem right for a 20 meter line?

Anyone have suggestions on where to purchase:

Apple Trees

Plum Trees

Rasberry

Blueberry

Garden centre are crazy expensive, ebay is hit or miss. I'm sure there a trade place to buy, at a better price and quality? google brings me nothing commercial looking.

thanks

Danny

I'll eat my hat if someone buys this...

logs for sale | Gracemount | Gumtree

Stubby, that is exactly what i am looking for!

where did you buy 'yer cone from?

Cheers,

Danny
