    Poetry. Talk about the dignity of labour. I'd feel very dignified operating that.

    No photos sorry, but a relative has built a bigger one down this way. Similar idea, but it takes much larger logs than in that one, has a massive hydraulic guillotine to chop the log instead of a chainsaw, then shoves the round through a square grid. Incredible machine. Mounted on a truck trailer, couldn't get this one on the front of a bobcat! I believe the biggest problem with it is actually finding logs large enough to make it worth starting the machine.

    We're going to solve our logpile problem by getting a pellet fire.

    I sat transfixed... couldn't stop watching it imagining selected members of the National and Labour party (and ALL of the Greens') caucuses going through it. Then I watched it again....! Cool!

    Ok ok.... I know the correct word is 'cauci', but for the purposes of clarity, etc..

    Oh, and I LOVED the way the operator shook off parts of Sue Bradfords's head when they threatened to get stuck in the system... :-)

    Dave Mann, we know that's not you: that someone has, erm, hacked your blogger profile.

    Roffle.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
