Because everyone prefers to use an overloaded IW tipper

If you have the access they’re a quick way of getting rid of bulk material. Had a bloke come a few months ago, for cost of 8yrd skip he took 12t of clay/soil.

some more pictures of me digging and filling in holes in the countryside,in a moment of saturday night red wine induced clarity I now realise I am literally digging my life away! Could be worse

Could be worse, imagine sitting in an office moving virtual files from your inbox to a file no one will ever read again!

Amen to that

That my friend is where the world has gone to s**t! The amount of people I know that when pushed past the point of”they work in IT” can’t really say what they do, basically because for the most part they don’t really do anything!Can’t really beat a bit of digging

You could probably say the same about clerks and typists in the past. Industry needs organising.

I often think to myself what is the point in all this. But then realise your out and about different jobs all the time, embracing the weather- job satisfaction when it all goes right, providing a service which 8/10 times is providing a useful contribution towards whatever it is that makes the world go round.

You are completely right, I am sadly a bit cynical these days, born from years of working too many hours in a fairly hard game, but at heart I am still passionate about it and proud to be practical and adaptable,which is sadly what society lacks these days.
I am fortunate to have had a varied and quite successful career within the construction industry and can now to a degree do the work I want to do. It ain’t a bad way to earn a crust.
F**k knows where all this deep S##t has come from,,,oh yeah , the wine

Sometimes I envy people who don't think. Must be lovely to bumble along in life without questioning your existence

 

[Simon edwards]

Nah f##k that, same sort of people that take naps and let their wives drive!( unless it’s back from the pub, that’s acceptable).

Look at that sky! Miserable as sin here this week. What's a cubic meter of logs these days?

 

[Simon edwards]

It’s the season

£120-140.

Not enough to make it worth it compared to digger work (round here at least) with cord at £90 per ton delivered in. I’ll use up this stack of cord then I’ll probably sell the processor.

How many cube does a ton of cord produce? Is it as much as 2?

Depends when you weigh the ton!

Dry cordwood I’d say more like 2.5m3

I thought you liked using all parts of the buffalo ?

It makes a pleasant change I guess. Just a lot of faff compared to firing up a digger.
