I used to reckon 2 bags per m2 of cordwood, unvented bags may have been 80x80? But may give a rough guide?

Although you might cover the cost of the kit which is maybe your plan, doubt you'd get enough money in to really make a difference... these big hire companies make their money buying and selling the machines, not really from the hires. Can see what you're thinking tho, with the kit just sitting there...

I should have made it clear I'm not exactly endorsing not using your local dealer, lot to be said for having a good relationship with local dealer. But from purely a financial point of view I don't think a fiver is unreasonable to get products to you.

I think delivery charge is fair enough. Who can honestly say they can jump in their truck, drive to a local dealer and back, taking into account their time out the business and fuel and it won't cost a lot more than a fiver? I'd rather have a flat rate across the board rather than spending time looking through website, go all through the checkout procedure not knowing if carriage will be £2 or £15. Everyone knows nothing is free in this world, if someone is offering free delivery it must be covered in the cost of the products? But that's just me.

But hats off to you, 2 ops is one thing, 7 - 10 is something else!😩

General is way better than being 'sedated', when you're half awake but your brain is completely scrambled and going flat out trying to work out what is going on, and you're trying to work out how you got into this weird place in your head you can't get out of. Then when you wake up you can't support your head or limbs for hours. Horrible experience

Vik hire in Lincoln worth a shout, they're a good bunch often happy to sort stuff at short notice. Do spider lifts not sure what sizes

Good points, I'll avoid the BCS then. Yes I'm in sussex, pls could you DM me info on the mower you've got?
-
Just what I'm looking out for. Flail attachment on a camon rotavator base look good but seem a bit overpriced?
-
Ah just got it, the disabled space😂

Don't do it! I turned up to course in my slippers, and would you believe it they said i had to wear my own boots to walk across the woodchip covered yard before i could get them under cover😱

Method for getting consistent lengths when hand cutting logs?
NJA replied to Elliott.F's topic in Firewood forum
I cut to the width of the saw, including side handle, seems to get them about right. Obviously easiest if you're cutting left to right if that makes sense? -
We've had them in 3 nests in our outbuildings this year. Can't believe how much they take offence to the kestrels nesting nearby, and squirrels nesting in the house roof, divebombing them and trying to chase them off.
-
Where is this? Looks to me like Humber bridge, from the angle/distance I'd have a guess at swanland/anlaby/west ella area? Or am i miles out😆

This is not meant to start a political debate, but there are some amazing people in the NHS, you can rock up with an injury like that and they take in their stride. Can't be complacent for a second when using some of this kit
-
When we started doing this it sped up cutting output so much, and meant consistency across various cutters.
-
Cut it off, put L shaped, bracket on each upright so you can put it back in, just with a bolt/wingnut to secure it? Or maybe a U bracket it drops into? Would mean you'd need to undo a couple of nuts each time you want to remove it...

Wait till you get an electrical fault with a gas boiler... plumber and heating engineer washed their hands of it as 'its electrical fault need and electrician mate, we only do gas and water'. Call electrician out, you've guessed it 'nah can't sort that mate as its in the boiler so plumber or heating engineers job'
-
Nah, life's too short for me to do that. But each to their own.

Ringo is awesome, if you realise you're gonna be another ½hr getting back to the car open your phone and 5 seconds later youveput another ½hr on the parking. But trouble is every car park is a different app and often no signal in the carpark🤦♂️ And in fairness card machines on ticket machines often faulty, so good idea but only if the tech actually works😄
-
Ok fair enough cashless is a bit extreme, but tbh I'm not that fussed if geeks at Visas h/o find out I'm having my hair cut every 4 weeks, and a doner meat and chips on a friday night.
-
The card provider is charging that to arrange the transaction, not gonna do it for free are they? I think its fair for the convenience of having a card to access your money. I'd happily pay more not to have the hassle of going to a cash machine then having the change rattling around in the glove box .
-
It really annoys me from a customer point of view, barbers or kebab shops who only take cash, and I'd actively avoid them. Make your customer leave their car keys in your shop and walk to a cash machine because you don't want the 1% fee for a card transaction, and you want to dodge the tax
