I advertised on FB and Jaques had an interview, I initially thought him too young to be insured on the vehicles (18 years old) but my insurers were...
He’s been asked that before, iirc its not his responsibility, he gets them on the floor and it’s the city authorities job to get tractors/lorries in to deal with it
One day stripping out and chipping, one half day getting the wood out.
Local motorcycle trials club took the trunk sections to practice on (organised by my groundy who’s a local champ) 10 minute turnaround instead of an hour and a quarter. Saved a lot of time and money.
Made some very good coin...
Excellent stuff, thanks.
Douglas plantations are common here as it’s a fast growing high value timber.
Poplar get put in the wet spots as there’s a big pallet making industry here, very quick turnaround.
