  1. Many will not mind. Just talk to your clients and if you have good standings they will not mind I believe it looks better when tree firms work together, rather than rivalling each other There are millions of trees out there and enough work to keep everyone busy
  2. The wood can last many years split or un split. It all comes down to how it is stored. For example if you stack the trunks outside on grass or a track, it will become damp and begin to rot. However, many foresters lay two logs on the bottom and then stack there timber on top as to keep the majority nice and dry while sacrificing the 2 bottom logs . Keep them dry and off the ground the timber will last a long time hard to confirm in years as species of tree is different. Split logs if you can dry them with a kiln or Air drying them with a fan to reduce the moisture content to 20% and below and store them away from moisture they will last a very long time and will be ready to deliver when orders are placed Hope this helped Personally I would buy in a smaller amount that you can process and be able to sell later in the year or the next year depending on how far along the timber has seasoned sitting on wood for a period of 2 years is hard enough to fund as storage becomes an issue as well as monitoring the logs for mould, fungi and rot I am sure many on here will give better advice

  11. I am Safecontractor Approved, going to get CHAS as well I would say put yourself down as competent in H&S and just say you get constantly check up on current H&S on the HSE website and the AA. The CHAS helpline is very helpful they will help you out. Also when u submit your form if there is anything missing or they want more info they will ask for it and you then supply what they want. Beware you have a certain time frame to respond by when they ask for more info hope this helps CHAS is well worth having regardless saves on insurance and looks a lot better and keeps you safer
  12. I think I will now start with Aspen Fuel. Thank you for your opinions everyone Anyone know any good dealers around Berkshire??
  13. What is the benefit with Aspen Fuel?? Many say its easy as its pre-mixed, but its really easy to mix a 5l can with 2T oil. 5l of regular petrol and 2t fuel lasts me a while. And seems to be cheaper than Aspen. And my saws run very efficient on the mix so saying Aspen is more efficient and lasts longer is not true as I tried some today, and my saws spent the Aspen faster than the mix with Husqvarna XP 2T oil. What are your views and am I missing something here?? Sorry if I offend or annoy anyone who is Pro ASPEN
