I got a cheque from DLVA as a car tax refund. Luckily I was able to deposit it online with Lloyds Bank by scanning it in using my phone, as I did not fancy going into a town during a pandemic. Eventually the government will figure out that online is a far more efficient use of time.

By having bays you can use or sell the oldest most seasoned first. You could separate finer grained hardwoods which take longer to season into separate bays. I used plastic pallets for the base which allows air to rise through the stack, but stops damp rising. By using a black roof you will generate heat at the top which will encourage airflow to percolate under the pallets and through the stack. I also put a gutter in and discharge the rainwater into blue plastic barrels which are interconnected and over flow from one to the other. Moving the rainwater away in a gutter stops it dripping and splashing back onto the lower logs. Cut the top off the barrels using a saw, turn the top upside down and you have a lid which stops leaves falling in and allows you to get inside the barrell to install a garden tap and hose. See below my log store which is on a much smaller scale, but the same principles apply. Good luck with your build.

Hi A neighbor needs three 8m conifers tidying in the next 3 weeks, as he has sold his house and has promised the purchaser he will get the job done. The cuttings will need to be removed/shredded. The job is in Bishop's Stortford which is 16 miles from Chelmsford. Cash job. Contact me in the first instance. [email protected]

How about on a less serious note "No Focker comes close" German engineering for your brush Goering Goering gone!!! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Arbtalk mobile app

Hi I live in Bishop's Stortford, and I have a Landrover and 8 x 4 trailer, so I could move it from site if that helps you out. Tel 01279 755767 or mobile 07749754789 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I built a log store out of round posts with plastic papers for the base, and a corrugated bitumen roof. The roof is black which causes air to rise through the structure as the roof heats up in the sun. The sides are semi open to let more air through. I have divided it into 3 bay's as the most seasoned i.e. oldest log and the one you want is always at the bottom at the back! I fill and use the bays in rotation. Here is a link to a you tube video, which may give you some ideas, although this was designed for personal use, I can at least guarantee my logs are well seasoned as I know when I cut and stacked them! Also as I designed it around pallets, a fork lift might be able to retrieve a one ton sack at a time. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I have just checked with Wicked customer service, they are showing zero stock! It is easy to sell stuff cheaply if you don't have any!

Hi what would the price be on a 115 and a 5015, and which o e would you go for?

I am looking to get a 50cc saw, I prize reliability and good engineering, and have been impressed with a smaller Makita / Dolmar 34, and 3501. I also have a Still 390. In practice I tend to go for the lightest saw that will do the job at hand as the Stihl gives me backache and the air filter clogs up quickly! I want a professional saw that will last me a long time, and I don't necessarilly want the latest gizmos and catalytic converters if they just add to the weight and reduce reliability, although easy start does appeal! FR Jones are doing good deals on the Husky 550, 10-15% off + spare bars and chains chucked in, but judging by comments it is not the most reliable saw out there ... The professional Makita 5000 appeals to me, as does the the Dolmar 5105 series or the older design Dolmar 115. Spare parts and servicing are a slight concern if I go for the Dolmar, are they readily available? I also hear good things about the Stihl 260. Which would you professionals go for, and are there any other brands I should look at in the 50cc range, or am I looking at the "best" saws available?

Hi Guys I have a huge Oak tree to buck, it was felled last year and is getting harder as we speak. It is 7 ft diameter at the base, and lying flat in a field. I have a couple of small Makitas, and a Stihl 390 with a 20" bar. I am thinking of getting a new Makita 9010 and understand that it is the same as the Dolmar, but just a different colour. I want a saw that will do the job and last, and I understand that the Dolmar Makita is an old proven but heavy design. When bucking, the weight of the saw will not be a concern, but I am worried about starting a 90 cc monster with no decompression valve. Have any users had experience with the saw, and is it easy to start? As regards bars, again I understand that the studs can be changed to fit longer bars, but would this invalidate the Makita 3 year warranty? It would come with a 30" bar as standard, but that would not go through the 7" diameter trunk, so I would have to cut the trunk into smaller pieces. Is it worth buying the Makita, and should I stick with the standard bar, or go for a modified one that would take longer bars, or should I persevere with my 20" Still and just spend the money on lots of shiny chains? One last question, are the Oregon M chains worth using in hard oak? Many thanks
