I am looking for a forestry planning consultant that has vast experience of permitted development rights in a forestry environment. Preferably located within sensible travelling time of Pwllheli or very willing to do a long distance job. Suggestions please.

What I dont get is this:- Say I take a car in with a fault & the dealer said that it needed X to fix it yet when they fitted X it still had the same fault, Why the F do people pay for the part & fitting? They have failed to fix the fault as presented & fitted a part that was not needed.

About £35 per cu ft. So each one would be about £105.

Finally got my nerve conduction tests done diagnosed carpel tunnel
Justme replied to sasha.p's topic in General chat
Well I got my session with the consultant & got the tests done. Turns out that I have neuralgic amyotrophy in two nerves in my shoulder. They say that it will keep getting better for 12 -18 months from the onset (so I have about 6 more months left) & then will stay at that level of recovery for the rest of my life. So far I think I have about 50% of my pre condition strength back in my hand. Just glad that its now pain free, just left with odd sensations & numbness & tingling. -
I am no expert but I dont think adding anything to the invoice will help. Contract terms need to be agreed before invoicing time. The terms & conditions need to be on the quote.

We bought an ex demonstrator with almost no miles on it (so almost new) Ford Galaxy. First time I opened the bonnet it was obvious that the battery had previously split & been swapped out. Took it to an different Ford dealer to get a quote cos the selling place was not interested. They said it was a right off as it would be virtually impossible to get the acid completely neutralised & so the car would have problems for the rest of its life. The selling dealer had to buy it back in the end. The point of all this is:- a, get it all neutralised ASAP b, sell it ASAP too

Thats very odd. I manage to pull them from over the wheels to the back & then tip out the back quite easily. I dont try to lift the bottom using the tipping handle to tip them. I pull the two corners that are furthest away from the back of the trailer whilst standing on the trailers edge & then lean back using my weight (85kg) as well as my pulling strength. I sell soft & hard wood (but not mixed) but only fully seasoned (I cut & split then season before delivery) so quite light compared to fresh cut wood.

But he is not an employee.

Even though you will be covered by his (for him causing you an injury say) your still going to need your own insurance in case you damage his clients property by negligence.

You dont need a licence to dig the ditch. You need an exception certificate to spread the spoil on the land.
-
Normally plenty of them in various states of scrap on ebay.

Not wanting to teach you to suck eggs but:- Are you tensioning it correctly? Do you do turns on the spot with no forward or backward movement especially in loose ground? Is the area full of small to medium sized rocks & if so do you clean the undercarriage out each day?
-
Wont you also need a hammer mill to grind up the chips small enough to be pelleted?
-
So no using a large trailer with a light load as they are using MAM & not actual weights?

Having been a butcher long ago I can honestly say I have not seen a metal banded one now for about 20 years. You do see lots of old well used ones with metal corner braces but mainly sold for the designer kitchen market. They now all tend to be either glued & short bolted or through bolted with plastic caps. The one that this is replacing is rag bolted with plastic caps filling the recess. Plus lots of the new ones are now plastic but thankfully they are not as common now as when they first came in. Having just found out that spalted beech sells for £70-120 per cuft I am tempted to do this one job & them skim the top & sell it.
-
Nice.

After find my butchers block had terminal rot after some pretty bad treatment from myself I decided to make my next one. As luck would have it I had a lump of dry spalted beech which was just about the right size. I know spalted beech is not the best choice but its what I had available. After an hour on the bandsaw mill it was transformed into an 8" thick block 2' x 3' 2"& a 3" & 1" thick slabs that I will turn into a table top & I'm not quite sure yet. I have not treated the block yet. The golden colour was just from wetting it down after sanding it.

my fat wife decided to go for a wee swim, for a good cause.

Actually it is important. The person making the gift aid claim must have paid tax = to or larger than all his gift aid contributions in the same tax year as the gifts. To make a gift aid claim & not have paid that tax is tax fraud. -
In your case then 20% applies. I still stand by the VAT being 5% on cord (cord sold for firewood not saw logs) if its to the end user. Its still firewood. No mention of cord being always full rate or you having to supply split logs to qualify for lower rate.
-
If the buyer is the end user then its 5%.
-
Your getting the best info available. It might not be what you want to hear but its still the best.
-
Thats not hire or reward. You would not need hire or reward insurance just bog standard business use. Hire or reward would be if I moved your logs for you & charged you a fee for doing so. Moving my own goods is not hire or reward. Also wont the minimal mileage exemption apply unless you are delivering logs miles away (I think its 30miles).

Forestry unlike agriculture has no minimum acreage for PD rights. It does say that the development must be suitably sized for the acreage it will service. So no 200m2 barns on 5 acres. When looking up PD rights it important to read the actual Act, as councils tend to interpret them in a way to benefit themselves. IE the act says that you just need to inform the council of the proposed development & after 28 days you can proceed if they have not said no, yet most councils have made the decision that you need to apply for a determination (not the same thing) which you do have to wait for a yes or no for. Also worth remembering that England, Wales & Scotland all do things slightly differently. Get a good advisor that knows about Forestry PD rights.

Mine is a fixed grab, not a loose swinging log grab.
-
I use my grab as one. The grab was designed with 3 upper & 4 lower tines. I had them reverse it so I had 4 tines on top to use as a rake. Ok its not very wide but does the job. For wide levelling sweeps I pick up a beam or log with the grab & use that.
