Have re-pollarded veteran hornbeam leaving some branches - response to pruning good to average.

When cut and split into logs what you have there would cost >£100 if bought in as firewood, should split easy and ready to burn winter 2021/22 if seasoned correctly. We cut up logs like that and better regularly for firewood.

There’s some licences you can renew on line at DVLA. Mine ran out in March and I renewed it on line.

The official guidance I read was to use 3-ply material or 2-ply if need be but some will be using ‘any old bit of material’ as you say. Those blue disposable ones that are a bit open at the sides you see many using are 3-ply.

Have a look at McMurdo Fast Find 220 satellite system one-off cost of £204. Also Garmin Inreach Satellite Communication which tracks and shares your whereabouts and can trigger SOS help and costs £282 - £415 depending on model and for a safety only plan costs £15.99/month. I work alone at times and have had a McMurdo Fast Find for 5 years but fortunately haven't needed it but quite like the look of the Garmin Inreach Mini. On reception within woodland areas, I find my Garmin map GPS normally has reception these days. HSE guidance for industry on chainsaw use is that operators should not normally work alone. On H&S at Work Regulations every employer shall take account the capabilities of employees in entrusting tasks to them which includes adequate H&S training for new work equipment/changes in activity but if not comfortable working at hight say so, particularly if it wasn't what you were initially employed to do. The degree of care, the amount of effort required and money needed to be expended by the employer will depend on the magnitude of the risk however stringent precautions would still be necessary where the chances of an accident happening are quite small but the resulting injuries are likely to be serious.

Metasequoia glyptostrobiesdes leaves in two ranks oppositely set. Taxodium distichum leaves in two ranks alternately set.

It depends, a face cover is to protect others, it cuts transmission to something like 20cm but they are not designed to protect the wearer from aerosols (fine gas like particles) which is thought can remain in a closed environment for 1-3 hrs, for protection against possible aerosol transmission by breathing the virus in you would need one of the following masks P1 (80% protection), P2 (94% protection) and P3 (99.95% protection) to offer best protection, you might want use something to cover you eyes as well if going the whole deal but to meet the requirement for England for shops and transport a ideally 3 ply face covering/mask is recommended or 2 ply if 3 ply not available. The reasons the government doesn't promote masks that offer more protection, which would be better in some situation, will be because there are not enough of them around, P3 masks don't seems to be obtainable now at all although P1 and P2 can be found. I wear a P2 mask when go shopping as use them for protection against wood dust anyway (need P2 or P3 for wood dust ).

Phenomenal carving ... love that inner door thing with steps up to it!

We are on to our second L200 single cab pickup now and have run both of them on stock tyre for vehicle the Bridgestone Dueler H/T689 (205R16C). It has M + S on the side wall but is classed as a summer tyre I believe (no snowflake symbol). We do quite a lot of off-road driving on rough stone tracks, across farm fields (but not if ground conditions to bad as don't want to cause damage) as well as within woodlands and have never had a problem traction wise, they get quite a bit of abuse off-road which they stand up to, on the road seem fine except when cargo area empty you need to be careful turning out of junctions that the back end doesn't slide. Haven't driven them much on snow but no problem in a few inches. The Grabber A/T3 tread looks like it might be a bit better on snow and mud.

Local fire service will provide advice and guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to all farm buildings where people are working which includes barns.

Not my area of expertises but as I understand it feet stop actually growing in mid teens but can then flatten when older (50 +) which causes the arch to lengthen and so feet can get longer, they can also spread outward and so feet get wider, being over weight I believe doesn't help matters, just one of those ageing things, nose and ears get bigger as well, something to look forward to as you get older ... good luck with the size 13 feet!

True but bear in mind feet continue to grow becoming both longer and wider with age, toes spread out, foot flattens and less fat under foot (might need 1/2 to full size every 10 years when older). Got a pair of Hiax boots size 41 that used to fit perfectly but can't wear them now as too tight, had also a size 42 Hiax same style which were too big and so weren't worn for some time which I wear now, these were a perfect fit for years but it's feeling like I might need to go up another 1/2 size next time.

Mostly 60 x 45 cm nets for both hardwood and softwood logs made from UV stable material - encourage customers to return them and they are reused if serviceable on average about 3 times before being scarped. Use 80 x 45 cm nets sometimes as well for softwood logs but 60 x 45cm most popular size. Nets useful for deliveries with difficult access as well as for those customers with small storage areas. Use sack barrow to move them from vehicle to the wood store at times.

Amur Cork Tree Phellodendron amurense

Those first three images you put up definitely looked liked elm, when green elm also has an awful strong smell.

Can be all of those things mentioned and the value of firewood has increased significantly in recently years.

The word grove is derived from Anglo Saxon word grāf but no evidence as to what it meant other than it related to woodland however it is thought to be probably a small, defined area of managed woodland, normally surrounded by non-woodland (ref Rackham O 1976 Trees and Woodland In The British Landscape). An area of woodland which will go back to at least medieval times I know called the Grove would fit this description.

You don't say if stands previously thinned or provide mean tree sizes or mean extraction distance in wood to ride but on what information you have put out ballpark around £30/T overall perhaps.

Looks like it might be frost damage, some Christmas trees I have got hit with a late frost this year.

If you are not aware the operating instructions/assembly info plus Briggs operators manual can be found in the black tube on opposite of machine to engine.

There should be a prop on the underside of the beam between base plate and knife which flips up for transport and comes down to support it when in use, it must be down when unhitched and not in use too in horizontal position for safety reasons to prevent machine tipping backwards. We only use our machine vertically and need have to have it as a two handed operation for H&S reasons however I would have thought it would be a case of disengaging the log hold handle (Rock Machinery might advise you on this matter).
