  1. Nope, you may get band and loose the privilege of posting, but your profile will remain. Imagine if profiles were deleted, all posts from that member would go, old threads would make no sense. EDIT, Steve beat me to it
  2. You need to take great care, I know a guy who burned down his house burning sawdust on a log burner. The problem is that if you put too much on and cover the fire completely, it "crusts" over, burning underneath and heating the top, this causes the build up of flammable gas above the "crust", a spark can then come through the crust igniting he gas and causing an explosion. Wood chip boilers are very different to log burners.
  3. You can't, once your in, your in forever
  4. If its your mower and you or your staff operating it, how can it be anyones fault but yours???
  5. The problem you have is that you need to "prove" that the cracks are being caused by the tree, this is difficult and expensive.
  6. What are your reasons for wanting to change and what will it be used for???
  7. Jetboil arrived today!! Massive thank you to Peter (Pro-tipper) and Steve!!!!!!!
  8. 066, best saw ever built, IMO.
  9. Could you make a "screener" or some sort of sieve, to separate out the twiggy bits?? Maybe a piece of wire mesh rolled into a drum and rotated while you shovel the chip in, the small chip would fall through leaving much of the twiggy stuff in the mesh drum.
  10. Small chippers tend not to produce the best chip, part of the problem is they are chipping only small twiggy material, larger timber makes much better chip, IMO.
  11. Yes, but is it likely I'm going to be felling them if there not on my land and I'm not a contractor??
  12. Could they check with the land registry and just TPO the trees worth TPOing on the notifiers land?
  13. Most of what are called "subbies" (subcontractors) are not, they are in fact casuals or "freelance", true subcontractors take on the whole of their job for the main contractor, deciding how the job is done.
  14. Hodge are you paying him that for 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year???
  15. The definition of an "employee" differs depending on who your asking, the tax man has a very different definition to the H&S man and your insurance Co may have another.
  16. What that their names are "Bush"??? Surly you cannot disagree fact???
  17. Whats the problem??????????????
  18. The thing is I'm sure there are many on here who currently use SE lads, who are only used when needed. Because they are SE they get more in their hand and get to keep more of it by various means, such as claiming expenses. Now many of these will need to be "on the books" if recent reports are correct. So its going to be a difficult transition for both the employer and employee.
  19. This is a very relevant and interesting thread considering the supposed crack down on subbies. I think the £325 is pretty fair Andy. What about some one on a zero hour contract who maybe only gets 3 days some weeks, I guess they would need more?? Or do you guarantee the 5 days and keep them busy even when the weather is bad or trade is slow??
  20. But it was before tax, so why the sarcasm??
  21. Not sure what your saying their Rich? Most of your post says its obviously before tax, but then the end suggests its not
