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.

That trailer base set up looks very similar to a trailer I tow quite often. Did you have to get the brakes altered from original spec to get it UK legal?
-
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.
-
Try reading the actual regs, no reply within 28 days = you can go ahead.
-
Get a planning specialist. Might be costly but cheaper than a new building.
-
PD rights / prior notification say that after 28 days of you telling them if they have not said no then you can do it. It will all come down to the wording on the first letter they sent you.
-
Fit fork tine extensions to the existing tines. simple cheap & quick to put on / take off. Also wont need anyone to unhook them when unloading.
-
Does anyone else apart from Bag supplies do the green vented bags?
-
Down the pan?
-
Do yourself a favour & get it galved instead of painting it.
-
What about a Boa?
-
No misfire but it was number 2 & it was leaking into the cylinder as well as very slightly to the outside.
-
Mine used to do this. It was the gasket on the inlet manifold that was at fault. About £3 from eBay. For now just keep topping it up. Start doing it daily till you get a feel for how quick its losing it. You then have time to find the leak. The main reason for the head gasket failures is lack of under bonnet checking of coolant levels. 25's are just so reliable that most owners never go under the bonnet. The low level allows it to over heat & then the head gasket goes.

Thats the whole point of the product this thread is about. It ensure that every unit is used onsite every day. I think the average figure for export was running at less than 70%. Now with the plethora of these products I am expecting it to plummet drastically. People that know they will be large exporters tend to have an export meter fitted to make up for that fact. When the ratio between total generated & exported FIT rates was much higher (43p & 3p) the export portion was not significant. Now that its more like 15p & 4p getting paid accurately for your export is more important. That or ensuring you use more of it onsite. Using it for jobs that can only be done my electricity is fine. However using it to displace other fuels for a heating function (space or water) is madness.
-
Sadly not. Most installs get paid for 50% of the total production as having been exported. So they can use it all & get:- 100% X FIT production rate 50% X FIT export rate Dont import 100% of the power they made so save on the elec bill Its called having your cake & eating it.
-
Yes they work. No you dont import the missing 2.5kw. Should you use one? In my opinion no. The FIT was designed to encourage export. The only reason devices like that exists is due to the deemed 50% export payment. You can use 100% of the power & still get paid for 50% exported. If your meter goes backwards then you are: a, using an illegal installation & your installer & you should have reported that fact to the DNO / billing company b, much better off not using the SolarImmersion.
