Morning all, We have an oak that is unfortunately in the way for building a new cattle shed. It will be about 10" DBH and about 22" tall. Its got a decent crown and is generally pretty healthy. I want to try and relocate it, the digger man has done a couple before and suggested a fairly severe prune before we dig round the roots and lift it out. Any tips and tricks on timing etc welcome. Many thanks Tom

Thanks for that. followed your link and he's wanting £3300 ish for that one. It turns out he's not too far from me so he might be open to negotiation

Looking for something that will move warm air about as its quite a big area, its about 200 square metres and about 5 metres to the eaves.

Hi All, As the thread title suggests I'm after a solid fuel space heater. Master made one until recently, branded the CT-50 I beleive. There are others available but they all look a bit tinny. I want to warm the workshop when we're in it and create a warm room to dry logs out. Thanks in advance Tom

I've had plenty of bulk firewood from chris vicary in the past when I've run out of my own. Based at market weighton, probably give you a price on the roundwood too as he does a fair bit of felling. 07956033116

Anyone had an audit yet? and if so how did it pan out? This whole scheme makes me want to weep, the PA of the inspector has arranged my audit for mid september, can't do any earlier as he's on holiday for two weeks! So let me get my head round this, our subscription is paying for the PA salary, the auditors salary and he decides to go on holiday just prior to log season. Aaaaaagh

It doesn't seem to happen round here, I sell out every year and have to buy in wholesale just to keep selling.

I reckon about 7%

I have to deal with everything thats felled, this year it was a 10 acre piece of ash clearfell. Upside is its always good to tell the customers all our logs are ash!

We've been doing option 2 during the summer when the forwarder operator (me) has accidentally put an oversize on the trailer and its not economical. At least with the cone splitter option its all mechanised.

I've finally got round to registering with woodsure, its a complete farce but there we go. As far as the complaints procedure is concerned, did most of you just copy a standard template of the web? I put my prices up at the beginning of last season, something I don't particularly like doing, but with the extra admin, insurance and not to mention the subscription I can't see any way of avoiding putting them up again. At least this time I can pin the reason for the price hike on the bureacrats!

You could be right but I don't think it'll be easy. When the lengths are split into quarters they won't roll on the log deck for example.

3 metre lengths

Morning all, Does anyone know of anyone operating a large mobile processor in northern england? I've been grading out all the timber too big for our processor this summer and there will be 60 ton now I should think. It's all ash and ranges from 12" up to 30". My digger man has a lasco splitter that we could break it up with then put it through our processor but I'm not that keen. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated. Tom
