Neighbour had some leylandi in their garden at the bottom of ours... Nowt would grow in our garden until 1, he had them removed, and 2, I had to go mad with lime to correct the soil ph level. Maybe worth noting after stump removal and the customer wanting to grow something else in their place....???

There's a few new builds going up round here with 'fake' stacks and chimneys fitted.... You can't even bring them into use, as there's usually part of a room under that brickwork... Bizarre why they did it.... Maybe to give plain, featureless matchbox house the look of a 'traditional house' complete with chimney???
-
You lot are making ME want one now.....

'Dim days', and dark nights time....???

Yet another reccomend me a wood burner thread!

Mate at work has had a 'Varde' stove fitted... The 'Ovne' one I think he said... Anyone else got one / reviews etc...?? Says it's funny to watch as it has the recirculating gas thing in it, and he watches the flames dance around the fire box 'in mid air', and not from the logs themselves.... -
Am guessing but.... If the set up is the same as post augers I've used in the past, the screw should just be able to be removed by a single (shear?) bolt through the top of the shaft???

what logs have you been chopping today!

Were no gun makers interested in it first?? Just think gun stocks.... -
Stoves getting smaller??? Is it not because people are buying these 'new builds', and are then having a 'feature (look what I've got) stove' fitted??? Have you actually seen the internal sizes of the rooms in these new builds, even though they state 'family sized / 4 bed etc.'...?? By the time you get you monster / 'look at me' / mega wide screen TV in, along with the furniture, you not got much room left for an average sized stove, so have to go for a smaller one.... Or they just went for the 'that looks nice' one, without doing any research about heat output, what size log it can take..??

Tried the 'education' route.... 'Fall on deaf ears' springs to mind....

We've just took a delivery of kiln dried, imported wood from 'The real firewood company'... Prices.... (Due to Brexit and the pound to euro exchange rate etc), we've paid 20% more on this load, this time....
-
Would it matter? Just screw it in... More security when lifting?? And you're going to split whatever anyway?
-
Koi??? Me thinks... Cover the pond with at least something, to try and cover your arse as much as possible...???
-
Are we talking 'cut throat' type razors / shaving here...?
-
Looks like the chaff that's left over from what comes out of our log processor that's coming out of that...
-
If you rate it, what make is it exactly - just so I know what to tell him to look for...???

Will do, ONCE THE KIDS LET ME ONTO THE TV!!!
-
Only saw the last 15 minutes.... Devastated. Looked a damn good programme too... Just proves from what I did see, we need more trees than ever now.... Not more glass, steel and brick boxes.....
-
A wealth of info thanks.... I'll pass it on....
-
Cheers for the info.... Had my suspicions about them not really helpful, but thought of asking here as everyone here will do some kind of 'prolonged heavy lifting'.... And I guess the mattress maybe due for changing if you're saying that could be causing one of the 'problems'....
-
The stuff he gets is from tree surgeons. So they're in about 2ft length pieces, not huge whole lengths.... How does a screw splitter handle 'rings', any different to lengths? Oh, and he doesn't have a processor for the pieces to go through after breaking them down, just a vertical splitter....
-
And would I be picking them up off the floor onto the vertical splitter?? Hell NO!!! Luckily we got a 'thumb' on our mini digger, load it onto a 'roller table' and it just wheels along to under the splitter... No broken backs here.... Had a photo of our set up somewhere on here ages ago to show....
-
Is there a saw mill up Consett way that sells the off cuts etc for log burners?? Met the guy briefly that did that from that mill a few years ago at Hexham fireworks display. ....
-
Asking on behalf of a mate who is considering getting a mini digger for general work around his farm, but was also thinking of getting one of those hydraulic screw type splitters for it too... He gets a lot of odd awkward pieces of wood from tree surgeons, so he thinks a screw splitter will be better than having his guys using chainsaws etc to get stuff down to a manageable size to then split further....

There's two parts to Blyth now... The 'normal' people who live in Blyth - and have no problem with that..... Then there's the people who live in 'South Beach'.... But think they live in some swanky posh town on their own, and think they have no association with living in the same post code! Remember seeing an edited picture on the wife's FB, showing Karl Pilkington shouting something on the lines of 'There's no such thing as a posh place in Blyth!!!' Was aimed at people who think they're so above other people because they lived in South Beach....
-
'Travellers'??? Ooh -a moving target.... Technically, I think they don't exist in tax payer terms / NI numbers etc.... So they won't be er, 'missed'......
