I suppose there pro's & cons for both but at the mo i'm managing to stay under the threshold but again i'm only in my second year of trading.Most of my work is domestic with a couple comercial ones & certainly the domestic ones are happy when i tell them theres no VAT to add. I'll just have to cross that bridge when it comes. Am i right in thinking that once you become VAT reg you can claim 3 years back Vat?

Bob, your bang on mate! i cant really add much to what you've already said you've pretty much covered it.There are a few things i would like to point out though to VL, is the kit you claim has never been checked for 10 years the same kit? if so all your textile kit ie harness, ropes, slings etc are all out of date. All textile items have a max 10 year life because as bob said many different aspects will degrade your kit. Also you mentioned about responsilibilty for equipment, well....yeah you are! who else is? its your kit its your responsibility to make sure its looked after, used correctly & used within its limits, the list goes on. This is all for safety reasons not to p!$$ people about. As for the LOLER course, it is tuff most people fail it first time round so we are certainly not a "no mark" as you put it. My little rant is now over

Necky B@$t@rd$! I would'nt have the balls or the inkling to do it. They would soon kick off if their employer knocked off £50 of their days salary! I have yet for this to happen to me but i try to confirm in writing as much as poss for this very reason! no doubt it will happen when i have'nt confirmed!

jay, have you contacted honey brothers? they should be able to tell you the make & maybe the rate its tested to. If they can only tell you the make/type then you can ring the people who make it & they will definatley give you the rating. Let me now the manufacture & i can give you the number. Once you've got this i can mark it up for you if you want. Obviously the kit is in good nick cause i was there when you bought it but you need to know what rating it has so you can work within the safe working load

me personally I think mewps have definately got there place and they are excellent bits of kit used in the right scenerios but thats for another arguement another day & on another thread. i take my helmet off to you for even going back on a mewp after what happened to you, i'm not to sure whether i would have the gahooners to get back in one. If anchoring into a tree helps to get confidence then who are we to judge

I've not long bought an Alaskan saw mill & i'm really enjoying playing around turning some of my pile of timber into fence rails & posts etc. (i'm easily pleased!). Today i milled a 8x8" by 6ft oak post to replace a broken gate post at the yard, again i was pleased with the result but i could'nt quite get it square. I was wondering how you other millers manage to get square cuts & also if theres any other good tips for getting good cuts. At the mo i just cut of any bits that are sticking out then place a ladder section on top to make my first cut. Does anyone else use this or are there any better methods, cheers Chris
