    There must be lots of us that make our own, or try to make, or want to make our own buildings/ log drying sheds/ hay barns/ storage shelters/ roundwood structures, etc. I'm no professional carpenter by any standard but always willing to learn more. eg; - size of fixings according to the thickness of timber. - width of a mortice joint according to the thickness of the beam - preventing roof condensation/ and rot in posts at ground level - any other stuff! cheers, steve

    Thanks for all responses from the Arbtalk Massive! .... so sound like if we chip at 1" maximum (or a little less) we should be fine. That's great, cheers, steve

    I imagine the Brian James trailer would have a higher used re-sale value so the extra money spent can probably mostly be clawed back when you sell it on. Cheers, steve

    It might all get swallowed by a sink hole before the meteorite smashes the entire county to pieces. Sleep tight.

    Do you know if you get regrowth from willow chips?
  15. SteveA
    I wouldn't be worried about the whole tree falling over, not likely... but do you have big overhanging branches over your house?.... potential storm damage. cheers, steve

    I wouldn't say woodchip used as a mulch for paths is a waste at all.... especially when you consider the alternatives; ie paving, cement, tarmac, pressure treated boards and grass (that needs constant trimming with a petrol powered device). There are also the beneficial bugs and mycorrhizal fungi to plant benefits. Far worse is to burn the stuff. cheers, Steve

    We have a bunch of big oaks that went down too. Part of me wants to mill them into big sections for a rustic building.... but they do look amazing just lying down in the woods untouched, and give some great habitat. Some of our oaks have fallen over in the past (many years ago) and re grown a main stem from branches. They are also amazing. If I mill them they won't have the opportunity to grow again. Decisions, decisions! cheers, steve

    Weird! Are you sure it's a fungi inside and not a furry poo?
  20. SteveA
    oh Lordy! At that price I'd keep them in a locked cabinet next to the Moet!
  21. SteveA
    You just said it! (nothing).
  22. SteveA
    Haha! Lost count of how many people have said that. Does look great but it's not up to building regs standards on insulation. cheers, Steve

    Our barn is clad with waney edge larch. My favourite bits are where there's lichen on the bark. Ours was clad in winter when the boards were still green (very green). Best to have a good sized overlap I think. Stainless steel fixings are very expensive. We went with standard fixings.... yeah, they rust.... but who cares? they are cheaper and it's a rustic building. However, I would use stainless or other suitable coated fittings with oak. cheers, Steve

    I'm a fungi because I'm a fungi. Dya get it?... Fungi Fun gi (Fun guy) Next step is to change my name to Theresa Green ~ but that would involve a bit of tree surgery.
