    Green slabs are hard to sell and are cheap compared with dried. Stick it and store it away in a barn. By the time it's dry it'll be sold. Especially if you photograph each board when fresh cut and washed with water to bring out the grain. Then send the photos to every table maker in a 50 mile radius, Offering discount for wholesale.

    Get a big wire. 150m is not a big distance. If you can do some of the installation work it would bring the price down a lot. Is it on your land? Single phase will run most bandsaws. 11kw is a lot of power. And if you've got mains, then it'll work out soooo much cheaper than diesel for running costs. [emoji106]

    Give me their phone numbers!!! You're getting a bargain!!! Get an 8 ton log to your yard for £300 odd quid ????? Do you know what price slabs would sell for!!!!!! ????? You've got my number mate. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

    Looked at a job today in a small woodland. Anyone ever milled burred ash? Or is it cankered? [emoji106]

    One day tree surgeons and foresters might actually know the economic value of the tree they are cutting down. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]?[emoji23]? Maybe not....

    Our yard has two large growly alsatians. When we got turned over last year, they kicked the shit out of both dogs. Cut through all the hardened lock surrounds on containers and through strong boxes inside. The only thing which can stop thieves is yourself with weapons. Sadly. As the police ARE NO HELP!!!!!!!!! First thief I caught, I handed to police. £200 fine. That's it. Second thieves we caught,handed to French police €1000 fine. That's it. Next thieves I catch won't be going to the police.

    Get them stickered or they will get surface mold and staining. [emoji106]

    Bring em in the house every night. Use alkylate/motomix/aspen and they don't smell. [emoji106]
  11. Rough Hewn

    I'm hoping that UC is a fallback. Going to try and keep working at milling in the yard. Got a tree job Saturday in a woodland to look at. If I can do 2-4 days a week I'll survive. Otherwise yes its minimum wage whatever.
  13. Rough Hewn
    Yep. Been filling out forms for days. All I need now is to do my last 12 months books, in the next few days. Which will be interesting...[emoji51]
  14. Rough Hewn
    Always full of solutions aren't you John? What are you doing? Government handout, dole or minimum wage job?
  15. Rough Hewn
    That's about 10-12 cube in the background. It's about 10% of what goes through my yard over a year. Way too little for the chip guys. It's firewood fir next winter. [emoji106]
  16. Rough Hewn
    Well that would cover my house rent,yard rent, and machinery payments. And nothing else. Bills? Food? Nah.....
  17. Rough Hewn
    Because we melted 2 5kva's. Need 4x5kva fir 10kw. (Running sound systems in the early nineties.) ????? Hire company wasn't happy. [emoji106]
  18. Rough Hewn
    Just spoken to hmrc. No help coming.
  19. Rough Hewn
    Just spoke to the local council about grants and loans. I don't have a premises which is business rateable. They recommended I go to a food bank.
  20. Rough Hewn
    Hmmm any jobs which don't pay minimum wage?
  21. Rough Hewn
    A 5kva will only give out 2-3kw unless you want to melt it. A 10kva genny is a bout 1-2k on eBay. Or... I've mentioned this before, My brother got the dynamo off a broken engined 10k genny and married it to a Ford Fiesta engine, on a trailer. It's sweet[emoji106]
  22. Rough Hewn
    Yep. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13][emoji106]

    Photos would help [emoji106]
  24. Rough Hewn
    How were you contacted? By who and when? [emoji106]
  25. Rough Hewn
    Brought some small oak back to the yard. Should be able to get them on the Logosol on my own. Picked this little beauty up at the same time [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] [emoji106]
