I believe it should be better to have vented bags. No risk of mould etc.
A google on ”vedsäck” shows a pretty nice selection. One example.

I understand what you're saying Boyo, :vissla:

but I doubt they are as 'resilient', as the conventional bags, to damage. :huh:

Big old bags those :eek:

As the old saying goes Jörgen .... " there's nothing new in heaven, or earth" :vissla:

I'd not seen them before though :vissla:

.... green ones yes, but not black ----- or I'd have bought black in the first place :huh:

Less conspicuous :thumme:

Morning Mags ...... if I carry on like this it's going to have to be mechanised :grin:

Already ideas rolling around in the head :vissla:

would have to be a combination jobbie though .... splitter and hydraulic press combined :vissla:

something like the yellow one in the background

..... the big one in the foreground only had a 15cm stroke :sad:

..... but close on 150+ tonne pressure :smile:

the yellow one was 60t and a good metre stroke :thummar:

...... put a block on the table and a blade on the rod ... job done :thummar:

Trouble with it NOT raining, is there's all sorts of other things need doing!!!

Bag lifter got a try out this afters .....

and makes 'em a lot easier to place tightly with each other ....
the single point lift seemed happy enough with a partial load, but I'd go for a 4 leg-er lift for a stuffed to capacity bag of stone ...... just to be on the safe side

The pile's getting ever bigger ...... fair bit the other side yet to be blocked up and split ..... job for tomorrow, 'praps

Poxy raining again yesterday morning!!! :sad:

With serious downpours forecast for the end of the week. :aaargh:

..... and everything just starting to dry out nicely !!!!!! :aaargh:

Got a bit more of it lopped up yesterday, between the deluges ... :vissla:

'the boss' nagged the hell out of me this morning, once the bloody rain had stopped, to get the baskets out from where they've been sat all winter!! :huh:

Get down onto the drive and lifted a couple out and she announces that she's got to go out by three :aaargh:

... "it's only quarter to two FCS, Pam" ... !!!! :huh:

Got the others out and slung a couple up onto the patch through the gateway, then carried t'other two back up with me ... :thumme:

Sorry no pix of the op. ......due to the 'perceived urgency' !!!! :sad:

stuffed with all the odd shaped bits and pieces ....that I could find ... of which there are a lot !! Dare say more will appear as i work me way down the heap! :vissla:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180425_20_08_33_Pro_zpszvq5up6x.jpg

Pile has started to diminish, but there're going to be a lot of bags required too I think. :grin:

Having measured the space the baskets came out of, I reckon I can get 9 bags in one layer, into the same area :thumme:

.... the baskets'll get a new home :thummar:

stack 'em two high and I may need a bit more wood to fill a second layer :eek:

...... but should see us right for 'heat' for a year or three .. maybe four :grin:

Method in my madness .... :thumme:

get this lot dealt with now, whilst the ground is still 'unfit' and I'll hopefully have some uninterrupted 'digging time', when it does dry out enough to deal with it !! :hurra:

Still got the last few bits to 'lop and block' ...... oh and there is of course, an oak to come down yet ..... :grin:

BIL is calling round tomorrow, to collect his daughter's patio fencing ... he's bound to ask when we're gonna drop the rest of the tree. :vissla:

Could be soon .... very soon !! :grin:

**#898** » 21:59:04, 01-05-2018

managed to get t'other two baskets filled Sunday, .. between the deluges .... :sad:

after an earlier than planned exit from bed ..... :uupps:

eldest cat, Sparty (the digger seat lover), snuggled down between us and suddenly, without the usual moggy wail of impending chuck up, projectile vomited his breakfast over the both of us, four pillows and the bloody duvet !!!! :aaargh:

Don't know who was more surprised .... him or us !!!! :grin:

washing machine's been on overtime since eight o'clock !! :sad:

I'd have had Charlie out and sorted the rest of what needed lopping up, but Pam gave me a dirty look at the suggestion -
"It's Sunday"
I'd have given it some, ..... end of !! :thummar:

To quote the knobhead next door from a few weeks back's 'discussion'

"things change .. you'll get used to it"

Cheeky ba***rd !!!!!! :aaargh:

Wasn't gonna happen Monday either.

Even earlier kick off Mon. a.m. .....
Had to be in the Heath Hospital, in Cardiff, for nine o'clock, for a full body MRI scan, so 07.00 departure on the cards-
traffic will be a nightmare down there, first thing !!!!

on the wood storage front .... what're people's thoughts on .... either spud boxes, .... or ...... IBCs with the tops cut off and plenty of perforations in the way of say, 2" holes inserted with a hole saw all over said tanks, for venting purposes. :vissla:

I know the mesh type IBC cages'd be good, but may have found a sensible source for them, with the bigger, more open frames, but they have tanks in them and are unsuitable for water, due to previous chemical usage. :vissla:

Seems they'm not so valuable, unless you want to store waste oil / chip fat / etc.

Any one got any thoughts on that as an idea???? ..... Emmental IBCs :grin:

**#899** » 17:22:19, 02-05-2018

IBC:s .....thoughts.... :klia:

Me, personally, wouldn't be that quick to chose to spend my time, chopping a way at the plastic, with a hole cutter.... :myzsko:

...but I appreciate the convenience of wood storage, in em. Isn't there any way to line the cage with "chicken wire fencing"....or any other relativity inexpensive mesh-type material, not trying to make a neat storage cage like those you posses, but sufficiently to keep the wood stacked in side. Can a U-shape lining be good enough if you stack the wood accordingly. :klia:

Very interesting suggestion Jörgen :thumme:

.... the beauty of the IBC cages is they'll stack :grin:
