Well it is now officially spring ....after the most horrendous winter I have ever known with record rainfall and just endless drizzle and misty dull days , but it has not really improved much !!!

Plenty of times a land owner BEFORE selling to a developer or trying to get Planning permission will "get rid " of any trees if they can that could cause problems with their plans , not illegal but but can at times just be selfish / money orientated !!

So those in charge of this scheme spent a fair bit if time and money to come up with and announce it only do do an immediate U turn ,,,,tossers !!!!!!

It appears that if you already have one then no change until 2028....it seems to be about "benefit in kind" if you are supplied one as a company vehicle , not sure on the situation for owner drivers , farmers for example ??
-
It is the claims that the PM2.5 particles in the house of a woodburner are so high as to be a serious health risk that bewilders me , if this is the case are there high levels of illness / health problems with owners directly attributable to the woodburner ??
-
Not afraid of anything , just not sure the cost will be justified , as well as potential hassle / restrictions going forward .
-
There does seem to be a growing movement of Anti Woodburners going on , I regularly see articles about it , often grossly exaggerated claims , but it is hard to disprove once they are said ...I am moving house soon to one without a woodburner and not too sure of I will fit one ...

no where near as bad here as predicted , storm Henk was worse yet received a lot less hysterical warnings !!

You have obviously overlooked the fact that LAND , houses farms etc does not need to be purchased to build a tunnel !!!!

As I get older I am less worried about dying than I used to be ....I have no fear of dying I just do not want to die yet ...my biggest fear is living too long , but not really sure how long is too long !! some one once told me that retiring is a bit like going on holiday but you do not know how long for !!! so difficult to budget and pace yourself !!!

I have washed a clump of Himalayan Birch to bring out their whiteness in front of a recently trimmed Leylandii hedge ....looked great ...climbed them with a bucket of soapy water !!

I have spent time in South Africa and the murder rate is very high , so I doubt they keep all the murderers in jail for life ...knowing the mentality of life there they get let out to murder would be murderers to keep the jail population down !!!

we have "won" when we have no more customers because we told them that they are stupid , but we kid ourselves that we are now part time / retired 😁

I have an unlined chimney and the entire chimney breast is effectively a giant heat sink acting a bit like a night storage heater , one good reason not to line a chimney if it is not essential ....

Etsy is useless how do you get your products seen!
devon TWiG replied to Thomas younger's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Selling stuff is far more difficult than making it !! marketing is a very difficult thing to master , even the biggest brands in the world still have an expensive marketing dept , some people seem to sell craft stuff online quite successfully it would seem , but I know far more who have spent a LOT of time and MONEY to promote their stuff , from what I gather ETSY fees work out about 25% on smaller sales and you do the work ....I have no idea how stuff is sold on Instagram , I think those who have gathered a lot of followers over time , and post a lot , direct them to their own website ... -
Is this the wettest (firewood selling )autumn you have known !
devon TWiG replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
It has been incredibly wet in Devon over the last few weeks / months , I notice my own supply of wood kept out of rain in a draughty log store still seems wet from the atmosphere / humidity ...keeping a few next to the fire sorts it out , but still wetter than I can remember !!! -
I have known guys who worked really hard and were making very good money on piece work , the customer ( big forestry company ) thought these guys are earning too much so reduced the rate !!! other guys who did not beast themselves every day could not make a living then !! shot themselves in the foot , this scenario happens quite a bit in other industries as well ....
