  1. Please tell me who is leading our industry??? I've clearly missed them and could do with someone to follow
  2. This is risky, as you pay 25% tax if the directors loan is overdrawn.
  3. Written quotes is your mistake, verbal quote and a handshake, if things go wrong it wasn't you
  4. I think we are OK because we don't "cold call". If you send out flyers you may need to be cautious. With most of our jobs its several weeks between quoting and carrying out the work, but sometimes neighbours of where we are working come out and ask for work doing, if the quote is accepted we may carry out the work there and then. I think because have approached us we are OK??
  5. Would need to be huge to tip into or crane into, much easier to simply pile it up and sheet it.
  6. Probably best not used near airports:001_huh:
  7. You're probably just not as good as us, we are great and worth far more than any lowly gardener!!!
  8. Yes have a tunnel, but I have the processor in there and use it to store kiln dryer logs prior to selling. I really want to cover far more timber than I could fit in the tunnel. I'm not wanting to cover split logs ready for sale, its more about drying cord and billets, for the boiler and to reduce kiln time once processed.
  9. I think you had pants accountant mate. My wife and I pay no NI monthly, we are both on the lowest salary you can that still gives you advantages of employment, the rest we take as dividends.
  10. I would imagine the camper is parked on the owners own land, on his side of the other guys tree.
  11. Thats my understanding. Even if your tree fails and lands on someones house, so long as the tree has no obvious defect and you have acted "reasonable" in inspecting and maintaining the tree, you are not liable and the home owner must claim on their own insurance. Your insurance would pay for the removal of the tree from their house.
  12. Corporation tax is not an increased overhead, you will find you pay less than you did as a sole trader, so it will actually be a saving.
  13. If he is not negligent the neighbour can not claim against his insurance. The damage would be "act of god" and the camper owner would need to claim his own insurance.
  14. I need to improve my air drying, the poor weather of the last 5 or more months has really set back any drying that took place over the summer. This year I'd like to get as much smaller diameter cord and billets as possible under some form of sheeting before autumn. I've wondered wether silage sheeting would be any good and what it costs? Any other suggestions would be much appreciated
  15. Oh there is little to no chance of me changing trades, but the money used to be very good, these days it only good.
  16. When I started I was excited about the money, I'm not as excited as I was 10 years ago, unfortunately
  17. When you walk down the street you are being passed by by vehicles weighing up to 44tons, if one mounts the pavement and hits you, you will be very dead. Modern life is dangerous. At least on site we can control the risk, the same cannot be said when walking down the street
