    Well, thats very interesting. So you could sell less wood for more money as long as it was neat and tidy. Amazing as its all going on the fire anyway!

    Cheers mate, just found his website, looks good

    I would definitely choose the bag on the right, looks way more in it to me. I would also have expected the man on the street to choose it for the same reason. Its interesting that you say they choose the bag on the left. My guess is that the bag on the left sells best because its all neat and tidy. Most likely Mrs average won't like mucky logs, untidy kindling etc. An interesting experiment would be to have the same quantity of kindling in two bags, one all neatly stacked, one just thrown in. Wonder which would sell best?

    Cheers foxforestry, I'm wondering if you're too far away for me to travel for five days of a course? Or do you do anything in Norfolk?

    Thanks for your advice all - looks to me like I'm going to need cs30 and 31.

    I'm lying on the sofa reading arbtalk and thinking that I really need to get off my ass and write my valentines day card

    I'm new to this Paul but as I understand it its best to pile up the deadwood. Apparently a dark, damp area is best. That creates a good habitat for the mini-beasts and allows the wood to rot slowly and at different speeds. I've no experience of this as yet but its what I've seen done and its what I'm planning on doing in my wood.

    Done - good luck

    Hi All, I have five acres of woodland that I'm about to start working on and I'm thinking that I really ought to get some chainsaw training. The choice seems to be between cheap (£100) homeowner type courses where you don't actually get your hands on a saw or the expensive (£500) professional route. I'm not a pro so don't need tickets, however you never know what the future holds. What do you think I should do and can anyone recommend a good course for me (I'm in Norfolk, near East Dereham) Cheers

    Funnily enough I've used slate as a background for some of my photography work - always use baby oil on it to make it look good

    Been burning loads of it this winter. Most of it has been logs that I split last spring from trees that had been cut and left in the elements for about four years. Absolutely no problem with the resin that way and they burn a treat. I've mixed them with oak, scotts and beech. I actually like conifer, it burns hot and clean. IMHO hardwood sooftwood mix is the way to go. I'm actually thinking of trying hardwood kindling and softwood logs.

    :lol: Now, who whose opinion should I trust, the scientists, experts in their field, or the right wing press?

    Could be worse - a mate of mine, and his wife, had pensions with Equitable Life ........

    Thats an emergency pot rather than an investment pot I'd say. It means fast access is key so you can't tie up the cash long term. You may have to settle for the best interest rate you can find on a savings account. Alternatively an offset mortage could be just the thing if you're very financially disciplined, which it sounds like you are

    Aa lot more than you'd want to

    Ace :thumbup: It just gets better! In that case woulldn't a 40k deposit get you a much better mortgage rate than a 20k deposit? I'd keep three months wages in cash for emergencies and use the rest to create as big a deposit as possible.
  20. Two Acres
    I think its very impressive putting 20k together at a young age. Its surely not an investment but more a deposit on a house?

    Cheers Alec, Sounds good
  22. Two Acres
    Thanks Alec, so they told you the cheapest option?

    Glad to help From memory I believe its an organisation that offers the apple identification at Gressenhall. I think the project is to collect samples of as many examples of old apple varieties as possible before they disapear. Interesting project.
  24. Two Acres
    The local museum to me, Gressenhall rural life museum, has an apple day every October. They have an identification tent where you can take apples to find out the variety. If you give them a call they'll most likely be able to put you in touch with someone that knows their stuff.
