A little yard

Did you have time to take a run around yet zeroluke, if so how did you get on?

Not so well. Doncaster is the town called malice. All the farmers I've spken to say they've no spare space and want more themselves. To be fair the farm storage in aukley was a bit small, but the other one could have been the size of aukley and he'd still moan. No luck yet, and I'm running low on money so might leave it for now. On the other hand, I've secured 2 ranger loads of oak Happy days today. Shame its come from a wood thats being cut in half for a road, like

You were right about phoning them too. It was advice on business premices hunting from the jobcentre scheme. Last time I take their advice. They know nothing - About farmers and the like anyhow.

Does 1500 quid a year rent for a 40 square metre workshop/building as storage sound any good? They have land for rent too, but no price for that. Only on application. Can rent for 3 years, but have the option of opting out after the first year. Works out at 120 odd quid a month if I were to devide the yearly price by 12. I know a mix of land and dry shelter would be better, but not really possible. Unless I made my own shelter with lots of long pallets, some lengths of timber, and roofing felt from B & Q :]

sounds close enough to me, i dont think you will get anything cheaper than £30 odd quid a week, what other bills will you have on top of the rent ie water, electricity, business rates, insurance these all need taking into account, remember if you are only doing firewood it might be difficult to cover all these costs during the summer months, im not trying to put you off, just want you to know what you are letting yourself in for, remember if you sign the contract on the building and are not earning enough money you will still have to pay the rent until the contract ends.

I know! In the summer I hope to be working either for the council season or private season. If I had a full time job it'd be doable to rent i, and spend the time on weekends sawing and splitting 25t of wood for the winter. As far as I know its just storage. Its not do-able, but I might go for a look, to see what I'd get for me money. I might have a grounds maintenance interview on saturday. I'll have to see. The bloke was umming and arring with his questions a fair bit more than I was answering them. But 50 quid a day isn't bad
