I think that sums it up nicely :001_smile:

 

If you want to make a bit extra on the side your best bet is a few night shifts stacking shelves - reckon you'd make more for less effort.

Thats alot of questions :001_smile: If you want £300 a month I would concentrate on getting in cheap arb arisings locally. I produce kindling so have an interest in selling you kindling but will help you with the figures. A kindlet will make 60 bags an hour with 2 people feeding it. But you will spend nearly as much time preparing your 6in blanks. So thats 30 bags an hour you will be on your own so thats down to 25 bags an hr. 10 hr day = 250 bags most people who have tried this have done 1000 bags in a week and its driven them mad. after hire costs you will probably earn £300. Find a good kindling supplier local to you buy a hundred bags and make £2 a bag for doing nothing and build up a customer base.

After a day of humping around sodding barrow bags on and off a Landy 11-....al I would say is that you have to enjoy it......

 

P.s I hate barrow bags, thay are the work of the devil.....

You may make 300 in december but depending on where you are you will struggle to find enough sales the rest of the year. Look at the other recent thread on firewood sales this week. Everything done right but no customers.

Not really any helpful advice, here im just looking at doing it to earn an extra £300 a month or so, Not as a full time job

 

Don't forget to declare it, pay the correct Tax & NI as well :)

Most folk on here have had to graft really hard to get where they are and thats why they can afford the expensive machinery. Its hard work and for someone like yourself who obviously hasnt a clue looks to be easy money. Its beyond me why you dont do something a lot easier to get your extra money
