I believe this is a thread about POTUS and I am making relevant comments here. Not adding distracting comments when your bromance love interest is getting a bit of heat for being a bit rape-y and a bit fail-y.

If you have it anyway, try out a few adverts. Costs maybe distance + half day rates, based on an assumption that it if you have enough for a full days work you probably now what you are doing, half a day for those with a tree taken down and left 'for the firewood'.

Buying in solid fuel is a bit of a misconception that it will be significantly cheaper than gas. It is cheaper but you won't be saving thousands. With the rise in log burner installs the fuel costs have gone up, supply and demand.. but you have to consider each case what the most effective heating system is. We wouldn't have a log burner as much if we had mains gas for example (well, we would but it wouldn't be our main heating). Buying a 'load' - tipper truck - at a time is probably the most cost effective

'Daily Starmer'... Labour thread? Only sayin'

It is not an ideological hate for the man, he is simply not a good man, he is a failing politician. You might want to detract from this by bringing just about every other politician past and present into the conversation but no one so far has stood up and said: Trump is a good and moral man Trumps presidency is going to plan. End of really. Moan and whinge that your poster boy is getting a hard time... but he brings that on himself

I don't think I have ever 'bigged up' any particular political leader.

JohnsonD does have a bit of a love interest with Trump, cannot be denied that he biggly bites at every unfavourable post on here about The Rapist. Looking at Trumps record this time around, it is now Sunday night. There is no hell breaking loose in Gaza. The Israeli hostages are still being released according to a time scale that will see them all released according to the agreement they made and not a bullies uitmatum. Putin and Trump are having a bit of a love-in (again), the war in Ukraine wasn't solved on day 1. Don't think it will be solved in month 1 either. Ukraine has no say in any agreements reached, being offered 2nd place "just for men" Vance as lip service only Gulf of Mexico, and the rest of the world said "OK whatever" US Domestic policies and prices are continuing to rise, and not fall from day 1 as promised (and eggs, the sticking point are rising further) Tariffs on imports, the US population are beginning to realise that it is them who will be paying increased prices and in fact many goods can only be supplied by tariff laden imports The offer for all federal employees to quit and be paid till September is being rescinded for many sectors Greenland, kind of gone by the way as has taking the Panama Canal into US control, Mexico and his great agreement was just confirming the agreement Biden had made, Canada just took all US goods off the shop shelves and Trump buckled .... I could go on but has end of month 1 report isn't looking like a president delivering on his promised to upturn everything and fix it all quickly. So far success: 0. As for the 'man' himself, in the political arena his actions are straight out of the great dictators play books

The more he talks this time around the more his actions align with the worlds greatest dictators. And he is only 3 weeks in, wait till he really starts going. "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law."

I was going to say, would a crane be cheaper than this job

Whingy much that someone fabricated stuff on a social media account? If that's a crime we should all be locked up. I believe I did national service in 1968, was born in 1978, got a degree in Brazil and 'didn't go to high school, I'm English' despite high school (2006) in Wisconsin.

B, though it depends in the costs

Money for nothing?

and if it is that mixed up it probably won't burn anyway. Day hire for a digger, should flatten it all down, not too expensive in the grand scheme of things, or 2 or 3 weeks doing it manually

If you can't get to the ground to get a couple of photos then a better description of what you have might help. Sounds to me like it is a field that was scrubland that has been cleared and you want to make a woodland out of it. Is it flat ground, slopes, water sources, access points, where you want to create your human parts, where you want the wild life to be (sculpting and managing). Will the whole site need planting or replanting? When did you buy it? A woodland isn't something to pop to visit every 6 months and expect it to be picture perfect (that's what the national trust does), it takes work, even silly things like picking up the wind blown litter, clearing the paths and so on can take a half day a month before you get onto planting and developing. Anyway grab a screen shot from somewhere like Google Street view and perhaps an arial* shot so we have a visual to know what your on about. Of course, clip off the location data.

living the dream!

Free logs and you accept what comes and when, If you want a regular supply then phone up a local tree surgeon or 2 and discuss a price and species, generally a tipper truck load at a time will be fuel + time + some consideration but will be less than the equivalent dried logs. Might be you get lucky and the tree surgeons will just ask a nominal amount to give you a regular supply. I'd go with a regular supply rather than a huge amount all at once because then you can see progress working through a log pile. Sounds like talking to the tree surgeons is the way to go here, free stuff tends to be softwoods - which are great but you do need to fuel more regularly, hardwoods are the premium but are easier for heating large areas

Every rule in the rule book is off the back of an accident.

Photos of the brash piles might be handy when you are visiting. If you have 2 acres to look after then it would be prudent to have a few tools to do work like this, get a saw with a chain that you can afford to trash should slice it into portions that you can move. However, if there are many rodents like you suggest they are not eating rotting leaves, they are going after another food source. That is where your problem lies.

Apples.. the deer in my woods will take all they can get.. so while you may avoid squirrel damage, something else might find it just as tasty.

Maybe a little pre-emptive but: "remind me how many wars and drone strikes Obumma and Biden did Vs the Donald."... looks like he is gearing up for conflict number 1 of this presidency in Gaza, 26 days in and "all hell will be let loose"

Mental!

Mental.

That one nearly got a thumbs up:

Pink hair? Remember when the olds used to moan at us for mohicans? I guess the kids later will moan again about their grand kids having coloured hair too and odd liberal ideas. We get old, some get grumpy. (anyway Peds, it is usually smoke and mirrors, get them riled up about the insignificant, and while they are distracted do what you really want.) I am going to derail this though and show my old gitted-ness with a Tony Hancock reference - Rhesus Positive? Their monkeys aren't they, classic.
