  4. solid volume would be the way foward to sell firewood IMO for example 90x90x90cm (0.73m2) of split 'thrown in' firewood is (for arguments sake) 0.5m2 of solid wood. Weight is a rubbish unit to say the least. If customers are buying a volume they can get to grips with under & over seasoning them selves. Would be a simple thing to draw up & there'd be a limit as to how far under you could sell. I'm tempted to go and make me a displacement rig!
  5. took a broken halfords pro ratchet spanner back today, they said that ratchets arnt covered as i could use it as a fixed spanner, said it was the same on socket renches. I went prety mental, what a load of BS! if my snap on ratchets wear out or seaze, even when they start to be less smooth the snap on man slaps a new mechanisim in FOC. I just rang halfords head office thinking the herbet in the shop didn't know what they were doing only to be told that i have a perfectly functional spanner even though the ratchet is broken so im off with a scafold bar a 12.9 end cap bolt & a nut to snap this spanner head in 2!!! & in future i'm only buying more snap on/blue point!
  6. You are typically dealing with brokers when you get your insurance & they won't speak on the underwriters behalf. It's a case by case basis, if it's a big pay-out expect them to have a harder look at things. If you have a car accident, for which you are liable, and you didn't have an MOT then your insurers must pay any third parties but are entitled to come back to you for the cost of the payout/s. The crux of this argument is "what are the stat obligations of a tree surgeon." This will be tested case by case but a judge did clarify that chainsaw operations (on some1 elses land) must be carried out by operators with the relevent CS units or be working towards them & is directly supervised by some-one holding the relevent unit, there are various other bits of law & BP that are as good as black & white and some that aint. As for the EL & subbies jaz this has been tested 100's of times by the construction industry & as a rule of thumb must ALLWAYS be had. There are very, very few exceptions. The contractor must be a limited company for starters & much, much more. Thats not to say that when employing a contractor who holds their own PL/EL that yours will be claimed against it depends on the nature of the claim as to who is liable etc.
  7. your probably just as well looking into getting an air locker, the results will blow your mind
  8. I'm not saying it's right but it's the way it is, same with any insurance, buildings, contense, motor all sorts, if you arn't forfilling stat obligations then they must pay any 3rd party, don't have to pay you & can come back to you for the cost of paying the 3rd party/s. Stinks but that's the way it is. For the sake of payin for a couple of NPTC's just get them done
  9. have found trust spot on TBH especially when it goes wrong, had a car nicked & got a cheque for more than i expected within a couple of weeks. That said i'm qualified so wouldn't have a problem with sending my NPTC's in & whoever you go with if u havent got 38&39 on site when it goes wrong they'll be taking u 2 the cleaners who-ever insures you!
  10. its the OCA subsidance journal u'll need 2006 i think, a local consultant should do you a verbal apprasial for about £75-£100.
  11. Get a toughbook & you wont look back, someone said that a macbook is bomb-proof??? get a second hand cf19 & it'll do everything & most importantly it won't break! Designed to be used in the toughest locations around the world, after going through at least 1 laptop per year loler inspecting i got my 1st & havent looked back, completely servicable not one of these the mouse is broken so it's a write off rubbish! 7 hours battery life & u can quickly slide in a fresh one when on site for long periods of time.
  12. when we've had imori in the wet it soaks up about 4x its weight in water, it practically showers you as you descend but it is easy to grip
