Whilst agriculture does have min holding sizes to qualify for full PD rights (you get smaller allowances on smaller holdings) Forestry does not. Forestry also does not have to be economically viable so hobby forestry does count for PD rights. Obviously it still has to be suitably sized for the operations.

As its forestry wont it just be putting in a "access way" (cant remember the correct term for a forest works road) so you only need to give "prior notification" to the local council & if 28 days later they have not replied you can go ahead?

Stop coiling it. Most rock climbers use a butterfly technique. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFW51YwoLZ8]YouTube - Climbing Rope Butterfly Coil - How To[/ame] Over use of friction descenders can also impart lots of twist.

Wow, they made it a top priority job then. How did you manage that. Normal action would be to assign it to some one on long term sick leave.
-
Do you? Have they changed the regs again? Last time I checked (about 2 years ago) it was over 3500L for domestic & over 1500L for agri plus other exemptions for temporary tanks so an IBC would be fine.

Do you mean a builders dumpy bag that hold 0.5m3? If so £35 -50

Under 5 cubes per quarter exemption?

Just read the Eu legislation. The few words it mentions about this subject are as follows So as long as it is not illegal to have it fitted then it cant fail the test IF the UK apply the regulations as writen in the EU document 2010/48/EU which can be found HERE PDF on page L 173/64

I saw this & thought that it could also be applied to "should I do this job cheap?" Should I work For Free

Wyn does have woodland in that general area.

My personal logs are 7" as we only have an Aga little wenlock & a Rayburn. But one customer wants 15" logs for there stove. So the bulk of what we prep is 7" & then we do about 6m3 in 15" which is pre ordered. Anyone just turning up gets the 7" like it or lump it. We do it that way cos we cut & split when green.

Unless you just do firewood. Or lots of firewood & less other works. For every £1 plus VAT you spend you can sell £4 plus vat in firewood & still have NO VAT bill. Or for every £1 plus VAT you spend you can sell £1 (plus VAT) of firewood & £0.75 (plus VAT) of services & still have no VAT bill.

Its f ing freezing, well it was last week. The wood inside was frozen to the floor. But then it still has no heating or roof insulation in yet or even wall covering & celling in one room. Once its all done it will be warm & not need much heating. Yeh saved a lot but has still been a costly job. Bought the timber in the round & milled it all up & planned all the interior wood too. Yes its a Forester Jacko mill one of the first I think. I am very lucky cos it lives just down the road from me & I do some work with the bloke. He had the shingle maker made locally. I think he said it cost about £500 ish. It takes 5 block's at a time up to about 12" wide so you can do the 6-12" range that you need. Reasonably fast with two people on the job but a pain with one as you have to keep flipping the lever & adjusting the loose / cut shingles as the blade does move them till you get a pile going.
-
Yes, More pics HERE if you want a look. Need to add more as we have done a bit more since I last updated it.

Stack shingles in piles of the same width This is those shingles being fitted. Sorry having FTP problems will fix it ASAP
-
First you need to mill up your tree into a D shape & then cut in to 18" (if you are doing 18" shingles) blocks. The width of the D can vary as you will need a selection of widths to shingle a roof. Then fit them to your shingle adapter on your mill. (dog is optional) Then run the mill through them remembering to flip the lever after each run to alter the angle of the block. Repeat till you get to the bottom of the pile

Google the part number

If you are just doing firewood you should be. Every thing you buy has VAT on it at 20%, yet every thing you sell has it at 5%. You get to sell 4 times what you spend before you will pay any VAT to the tax man. Under 4 times & you get a refund. Daft not too.
-
Why? You can claim it all back. The VAT increase should not impact retail firewood prices at all.
-
This is what the VAT man says So free (or rolled up in the price) del is fine (re 2.2) as is delivery charged seperately at the same rate as the goods (re 2.3) BUT if you del other peoples goods its full rate (re 2.4)
-
Thats what I thought. Does it matter if you coil up or down the rope? You still end up with a coil round the rope.
-
Normally when using a helicoil you reuse the existing bolt as after you increase the hole size with the combined drill/tap you sleeve it back down with the insert. I guess you bought the wrong kit for the job. I dont know if they use standard sized taps. Would it not be easier to just get the correct bolt for the kit you have got?
-
Your suppliers should be charging you the full rate of VAT for the wood & delivery. However you can do as you are & include the delivery as an incidental at the same domestic rate of 5%. If you offered the delivery as an extra then the full rate would apply.
-
Not sure yet. We are snowed in so if it does not clear it will be whatever we have in the freezer which could be beef, pork, lamb, mutton, chicken, duck or a fresh killed capon (extra extra large chicken) from the few we have left. We had suckling pig last year which was very nice. Will also have a glazed ham on the bone.
